Big Hero 6

Disney has done it again! They have made a robot movie with enough feels to make a grown woman cry (but not this woman! get back in there tear!). The movie starts out in sunny San Fransokyo with the main character Hiro (Ryan Potter), a nice young kid who loves robots (more accurately robot fighting and winning) but lacks the discipline to go anywhere with his skills. That is until his brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney) takes him to his college to see all of the awesome inventions that can be made when a brilliant mind goes to work. This sparks a new fire inside of Hiro to get accepted to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology and he starts creating a new type of bot for USF's exposition. But in a dramatic and sorrowful turn of events, the building catches fire and Tadashi is lost to the flames while trying to rescue a professor.
Now Hiro is lost, he no longer wants to go to school or have anything to do with inventing. Until he finds his brother's most prized creation, Baymax, a robotic personal healthcare provider. Now he is again inspired but this time for revenge on the person that caused the fire that killed his brother. He enlists the aid of his new friends at SFIT: Honey Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez), Wasabi No Ginger (Damon Wayans Jr.), Go Go Tomago (Jamie Chung), and Fred (T.J Miller); by combining their brains and personalities they create super alter egos capable of fighting against the man in the kabooki mask. But even after tracking him down Hiro is overwhelmed by his grief and need for revenge, which leads Hiro to try and reprogram Baymax to kill his brother's murderer. Now the Big Hero 6 members must unite to try and save one of their own from making a horrible mistake as he tries to get his revenge on a man whose motives are as complicated as the robots that Hiro builds.
I thought this movie was really good and very well thought out for a children's movie. I was super impressed that Disney actually managed to pull together a superhero movie which is a genre that they have never done (they even had a Stan Lee cameo, watch closely for it). This movie was a roller coaster of emotions, there were parts that killed me with laughter and those that put me on the verge of tears. The best part for me was when Baymax's battery starts dying and he is stumbling around the house making weird noises (Hairy Baby!). I would highly recommend this movie for any family with kids who love superheroes and robots or just a couple of college kids looking to remain kids at heart (#Kyle Godsey and I). I do not have any negative things to say about this movie, so well done Disney! So 5 out of 5 stars from me!!

Ramey Road Trip Day 6: First Family Visit

Image
Today was another day of just driving goodness. There were no side stops planned since we were trying to get to where we were staying for the night so the Rameys could spend some time with their relatives. So mostly we drove….. Jared and I watched a lot of Game of Thrones (we are currently in the middle of season five) and made pit stops every once in a while. The main highlight of the trip was that we crossed the Missouri River. That was pretty neat, there was a rest stop on the other side of the river that had a small Lewis and Clarke museum and an overlook where you could go and see the bridges across the river. Then guess what happened next?? More driving…… We drove for a couple of hours more until we got to the next cool thing. This time we were crossing the Mississippi River! We went to another rest area for lunch and hiked down a trail to the lookout spot where you could see part of the river. After lunch it was back to driving. We drove and drove and drove unti...

Ramey Road Trip Day 24-25: The Long Trip Home

Image
Good morning everyone! Here is another two-for-one special! Remember the flat tire incident from the other day? Well yesterday we had to go get it taken care of. Mama Ramey woke Jared and I up so that we could move and they could drive to the local Les Schwab to get it fixed up. While the mechanics were working on the car all of the kids slept and the parents went to Denny's to get some breakfast. With breakfast consumed and tires fixed, we set back out on the road. The whole day was pretty much spent driving with very few pit stops. Though we did stop at a bridge where Evil Kenevil did one of his stunts and watched some people base jump. Then we just drove until we got to our campground which was in Oregon this time. Once we got there Jared, CC, and I went swimming for a bit before we all got out to go and eat dinner. Then Jared and I went to the arcade to play some games (there were some really old games) until it closed and we went back to sit around the fire. We both hung o...

Ramey Road Trip Day 21: Desert Days

Image
Today started very early for some reason. Mama Ramey wanted to get up and go right away so she got us up out of our bed and had us move to the big bed so that they could start driving. We didn't officially wake up until like 9:30.  So we pretty much drove a lot today. We had two scheduled stops but that was it. The first was to Four Corners. For those who don't know, Four Corners is basically a place where you can stand in four states at once: Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. So we stopped for a bit and took our pictures, there were also a bunch of vendors set up around the patio area selling different wares so we looked around for a bit. Then we headed back to the RV so we could eat lunch, everybody except Austin and I had Indian tacos which are tacos on top of fry bread. I had a chicken salad sandwich and I am pretty sure Austin just had chips.  Then we set off so we could get to our next stop. This time we were going to a place called Mesa Verde National Park...
