Apparently the last time I posted about movies was over a year ago. I have no time to see movies these days but it's not THAT bad.
Last summer we went to see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. I hadn't seen the previous movie, but it was followable enough. It had its kickass moments - an ape shooting off a machine gun riding on a horse jumping through leaping flames, for example, which was just so laughable - but overall it was way too violent and depressing for me to be watching. If I'm going to take time and spend it watching a movie, it needs to not leave me feeling miserable afterwards. Meh.
At some point in the last godknowshowlong, F and I watched The Hangover as well as the first half or so of The Hangover Part 2. They are really funny movies.
On New Year's Day, we left f with my parents for a sleepover and went to a hotel for a night off. (The hotel was maybe 2 miles from my mother's house, and we stayed in the room for pretty much 22 hours straight. What?) While there, we watched most of Harry Potter #5 (the one with the Triwizard Tournament) as well as some portions of The Hangover Part 3 (we basically caught the very beginning and the very end). We also watched The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which we both really wanted to see and liked a lot.
Finally, on January 3 we got a babysitter and went to the movies. We saw Wild, the film based on the book by Cheryl Strayed. I really loved it and thought it was a successful adaptation.
OK so I've seen, tops, 4-5 movies in the past year. That's not too terrible, right?
