At the movie show...

When I see incredible movies, I like to pretty much let everyone know.  And this weekend, we saw two fantastic movies!

Last week I started listening to The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson.  I am only 1/4 way into the audio book, but I found out that the movie was on Instant Watch on Netflix.  And from what my coworker told me, it followed the book very closely, so we watched it.  

And I've got to tell you, many of the things about this movie shocked me.  Parts of it made me feel physically ill (I don't want to reveal why, because I don't want to ruin the book/movie for anyone), but it moved quickly and I thought it was a really good story line.  It is a swedish film with subtitles, but very good.  Just a warning, in parts it is very violent and there is some nudity, so if you don't normally watch those movies, maybe read the book first, then decide if you want to watch the movie.

And by far one of the best movies I have seen in a while is Inception!  I wasn't really on the band wagon to see this movie, because the trailers are so vague, BUT you NEED to see it!

It is a little long, but it moves so quickly and you are trying to just wrap your mind around all the concepts that are being discussed, that you just don't realize it.  It stays with you even after the movie is over.  Rhett and I are still thinking about it!  There is some "shoot 'em up" type violence, but overall it's a very clean movie.  

So folks, go grab your popcorn and sodas, and enjoy some thought provoking flicks!

Ready for the weekend!

I have some random exciting news......

I feel like What Would Max Do Wednesday will be resurrected. Mr. Max will be meeting his cousin Baron next week, and I'm sure all sorts of craziness will ensue, so get ready!

Anyways, back to the original post inspiration.

I can't wait for the movies that are coming out this Holiday season!

Here's my must see list for this weekend:

1. The Blindside

2. New Moon - I'm kinda over the whole twilight obsession, but I really liked the books, so I still want see the movie

What other movies are you guys excited about?

Random thoughts on a Friday...

Here's some of the randomness coming from my brain today....

1. I failed (I mean epically failed) at dinner last night. I attempted to make hamburgers (Rhett grilled them and I seasoned them), and they were so bad, he didn't finish eating them. It is the only meal that he has never finished of mine.....he even ate my crunchy beans (that was when I tried to use dried beans for a soup, and apparently didn't soak them long enough).

2. We are going to see this movie today after work...

and Rhett is so excited....he's been waiting in anticipation for it to come out for weeks!

3. I find it quite sad that I learn the name of my fellow co-workers (the teachers) by facebook stalking them. At least I finally was able to put a face to the name of about 5 teachers yesterday.

4. I am so happy it's friday....and that the school recognizes Veteran's Day as a holiday!

5. I have feel so old when I have no idea what new slang words or abbreviations mean. I have had to reference Urban dictionary like 5 times in the past few weeks.....so pathetic!

That's it...not too exciting, but I'm trying to be better about updating!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I am a ruthless human being!

First of all, a real life update is coming. real soon. i promise.

(I know you all are on pins and needles waiting for it too....ha)

Now for the real reason for the post.

As some of you lovely readers may know, Rhett and I LOVE to see movies. We pretty much go to the theater once a week, which is a little extreme, but hey we aren't a nightclub, party animal type of couple.

We have especially seen a lot of movies since moving to Tucson, partly cause it's sooo flipping hot and also because we are still lacking in the "things to do with people" department..sigh...

Well all was well in the movie world until it seemed like every movie we saw, we had people being completely rude, whether they were talking or bringing their children to movies that weren't suitable for children.

Granted Terminator was a terrible movie (in my opinion) but is it really appropriate to allow your toddler to run up and down to aisle and walking in between saying boo to movie patrons? NO

I know I am not a parent, but we pay our hard earned money to go and enjoy a new movie, with the impression that fellow movie go-ers will be as respectful. If we choose to attend a Disney or children's movie then we know kids will be there and that is fine! I know that babysitters can be expensive, but if you bring your children why can't you leave if they start screaming during the movie. Please don't ruin it for everyone else.

Last night we went to see "Taking Woodstock" and apparently 1 family decided it was a "family friendly" flick. During the foul language, nudity (I really didn't realize how extreme it would be), and drug references, this family let their child scream, make noise, and run between parents. I finally had enough. I have never gone to complain because I hate missing parts of a movie, but I was at my limit. I told the manager (I accept I am a snitch) and returned to my seat. Flash forward 2 warnings later and the family was escorted out.

We were then allowed to enjoy the rest of the movie, which was funny, but not one that I can recommend to many people.

So I am now a tattle-tale.

oops!

Conversations with my Mother-in-law

or my Marmie as we like to say!

Last night, I was chattin' it up with her and I asked her how Robert (my brother-in-law) was doing. She said that one of his friends had come over and they were upstairs watching Watchmen.

I then proceeded to tell her that they show electric blue penis in that movie.

Yes....I went there with my MIL!

Rhett died laughing and I have to say that both Marmie and I laughed quite a bit as well.

Have you all ever had electric blue penis talk with your in-laws?

Well then....be jealous!

(I have also refrained from posting a picture of the electric blue penis...you are welcome...it scarred me when I saw it...I don't want to scar you)

I love this movie!

Sister Act 2 was on Lifetime today and it was glorious!  I LOVE that movie!  When I was in college we choreographed  the "joyful, joyful" scene...and it was awesome!

Here are some of my favorite scenes!

I hope you all have a blessed week!
