fun pic of the week: monster house

finally a summer film that doesn't annoy and actually entertains. with one of the worst summer release schedules in history, a movie like monster house is such a breath of fresh air. not only is it funny, but this wickedly creepy kids film packs in enough actual laughs before it morphs into an obiligatory ride by the 3rd act.

i was part of a handful of actual adults without a kid chaperone and i kept on turning to my friend saying, 'i can't believe how much fun i'm having'. trust me on this, you should go out of your way to check this film now (at least you won't walk out in huff with the crap out at the moment... will someone stop watching that loud obnoxious pirates2 already!).
