Let's Go To The Movies

I've been to the theater three times in eight days. That is more times than I've gone to see a movie in the past four years all together! What's the deal?!?

Last weekend it was Ice Age 2 The Meltdown. All five of us went and had a great time. We went to MJR on Van Dyke as part of the Fall Festival. Kids were free, adults were $1! Our family saw a movie and had snacks for under $15 total. What a deal. The movie was okay, probably not one I'll be buying on DVD.

Saturday we left the kiddos with my parents and went on a movie/dinner date. We saw Flags of Our Fathers. That movie was alright. Steve expected something else completely and I didn't really know what to expect. I have a feeling most people in the theater thought it was a good movie because at some point you could hear a pin drop and it stayed that way for the rest of the film. My recommendation? Wait for it to come out on DVD and rent it.

Then, Sunday I took Stephen and Alli to see Cars. Another kids free, adults $1 movie at MJR. I'm cheap ya know! Now here's a movie I'll buy on DVD. Very cute, funny kids movie. Yet there were lots of lines in there for adults. Alli was bored with it but Stephen really liked it. I loved Mater....what a cute character!

I think we've filled our movie quota for the next three years. The kids want to go see Flushed Away. Maybe we'll see it in December with Melissa and the boys.
