This afternoon we took Eva, Andy and Eva’s whole Dungeons and Dragons group to see the Dungeons and Dragons movie. I had suggested to Eva that we try and see it opening weekend and suggested that we bring her group to see it. I was surprised when Andy piped up that they wanted to see the movie as well. Andy has long shied away from action movies and the potential of seeing someone get stabbed and yet the Dungeons and Dragons movie appealed to them. So I got tickets for all of us and we took up the whole back row of the theater.

The movie was a fun one. I certainly enjoyed myself and was pleasantly surprised to see a cameo of a certain Dungeons and Dragons group that I knew from my youth. There was a Saturday Morning cartoon of Dungeons and Dragons and I remember watching all of the episodes. A few years back there was a car commercial with people dressed as those characters and I guess they brought them back to have in the movie. It was a great Easter egg for the fans. At the end of the movie Andy declared that this was their favorite movie that they have ever seen. Also, during the open trailers Andy expressed interest in seeing a few other movies like the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles one, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and Spider-Man. I guess I have my movie buddy for the next couple of months.

Tonight Allison and I went to the Bishop Feehan gala. It was a nice time and fun to see a couple of old friends. A few that I had not seen since graduation.

  1. The history of D&D media, video games notwithstanding, has been a bit bleak but I have been trying to get my sons to agree to see this one. This might help. Thanks for the review.
