7.1.12 Magic Mike **SPOILER ALERT*****

I am starting to feel a little better, finally. Angela had asked me if I wanted to go see Magic Mike prior to me being sick and I had already bought my ticket at Alamo Drafthouse ahead of time. I couldn't really back out right?  So I ventured down south to where my new home is soon to be and went to go see Magic Mike. All I can say is lots of women. There were tons of women waiting in line to see Channing Tatum and company take off their clothes (too bad it wasn't live). We were running a little late because I have time management issues and was running a little behind so we were toward the back of the line. Finally they let us in. The theater filled up with the sound of gossiping women. We ordered our food and got settled in.

***SPOILER***
 
Magic Mike was a good movie in that their were several beautiful men, some of whom we know already from other movies or tv shows(True Blood and CSI), who work in a strip club and who actually dance instead of just flitting around a stage. The costumes were sexy and funny and boys were adorable. The rest of the movie (scenes in between strip dances) were boring and the actress that plays Channing's love interest was always taking long pauses when she spoke like she was thinking real hard about what her next lines were. All in all the dancing and beautiful bodies make this a must see if you are interested in that kind of thing. Oh and Matthew finally strips at the end!

What the movie was really about was Channing Tatum's character takes in a young guy (Alex Pettyfur) and teaches him the ropes to the strippers life and what he could get out of it. Matthew's character strings Channing along with the idea of a bigger and better club where they can be partners. Channing slowly starts to fall in love with a pain in the ass sister of his new best friend. Things start to fall apart when Alex's character starts selling drugs. (Not as exciting as just saying-beautiful men stripping.)
