Toyota Parts

Keeping our vehicles in excellent condition is important to ensure our safety especially when we are on the road. Aside from investing in a quality vehicle, we should also make sure that we only allow reputable car repair shops to make the necessary repairs on our vehicles. If certain parts need to be replaced, we should make sure that only authentic parts will be used in our cars. We should insist for genuine toyota parts even if there are cheaper parts that may be available. Cheaper and generic parts may be a more affordable choice, but we are not always sure of their quality.

Oz the Great and Powerful

My family and I went to see the "Oz the Great and Powerful" last Sunday. Hubby wasn't that impressed with the movie, but Akesha and I liked it! It wasn't great and powerful but it's a good one though. The visual effects of the Land of Oz was stunning! My favorite scene in the movie was when Oz made the China Girl walk again by gluing back her broken legs. I also loved the last part of the movie when Oz uses smoke machines and image projector and then uses fireworks and everything to scare the wicked witches.
"Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. At first he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking. That all changes, however, when he meets three witches, Theodora, Evanora, and Glinda, who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well."
Waiting for our dinner to be served at AMC Theater. It's a unique movie theater where they serve food and drinks.
