I know its been a while since the last post. Andrew's work schedule hasn't allowed us to watch any movies recently. Plus I've kind of gotten really into Call of Duty: Black Ops. And there was this little thing called the OLYMPICS!!! But we should be able to start watching movies more regularly. Tonight we are doing a double feature of both Ace Ventura movies. We just watched the first one, and now Andrew is making us some chicken strips using our brand new deep fryer. Then we will watch the second.
So I was never allowed to watch this movie when it first came out. There was a lot of adult material in it which my mom deemed inappropriate. I have however seen pieces of it here and there when it is shown on tv, but I've never seen it all the way through. Andrew however has this movie memorized. He and a friend of his growing up would watch this movie every single day. It must be that one year age difference between us, and he's just a lot more mature than me so he can handle the adult content.
Well the movie starts and I'm laughing already, because of Ace Ventura being super dramatic and making sure to break the glass of a fragile package delivery while secretly rescuing a stolen dog. Hilarious. I was immediately struck with just how young he looks! The Miami Dolphin mascot Snowflake has been stolen, and he is on the case. One of Andrew's favorite scenes is when Ace is investigating Snowflakes holding tank and does a Star Trek impression in the big echoey pool. He just thought it was the coolest thing. Andrew was also really appalled to find out that they had removed the part of the movie where Ace poses as the dolphins trainer and talks to the press. According to IMDB this was taken out of the movie, but then put on the VHS when released to video. I wonder why it didn't make it onto the DVD?? I suppose that's a mystery not even a pet detective could find the answer to.
I love the cop guy in this scene, and Andrew does to. I have only scene him in the movie Surf Ninjas though!!
Anyway, Ace discovers a gem stone in the pool that belonged to a member of the 1984 Miami Dolphin Superbowl Team. The only person left that it must be after a funny montage of finding former football players and looking at their rings is the one and only Ray Finkle. He lost the game in the end for the team by missing his field goal, and has gone crazy over it. He blamed Dan Marino for it and was intent on destroying the Miami Dolphins and killing Dan. Ace, along with his sidekick Melissa (Courney Cox) go to the mental institution where Finkle escaped from and do some detective work. There was a scene where Ace accidentally steps on a lot of bubble wrap while trying to be sneaky, and jumps up and down on it. This instantly took me back to New Years Eve, and its a tradition of my family that at the stroke of midnight we jump around on lots of bubble wrap that we have been storing up the entire year. I digress. Ace figures out who the kidnapper is, and saves the day! (I'm not sure if I should tell you who the kidnapper was, and Andrew didn't seem too keen that I was giving away spoilers). But if you wanna know, google it!
The best thing about this movie, is that Andrew was basically smiling the whole time.It was really fun for him to be the one for a change to be excited about a scene that he used to love as a kid, the same way I did with 3 ninjas.
