Tuesday Popcorn Movie Day

This week I attended the movie----"Love Happens," on Tuesday and "Surrogates," on Friday.
NOW what I liked about the first movie------nothing except using a free movie ticket from Regal Crown Club and a free popcorn ticket. The movie was dull and boring and sappy. *One Star and that is being generous!!!!

"Surrogates, " was much better-------lots of action and not too much violence. It had a PG-13 rating and was just a good popcorn movie, the kind you like to see over and over again. I especially liked the premise that everyone stays home and lets their surrogates interract for them. It's like that now with the internet, texting, and ipods isn't it?

Next week--another sci-fi? "Pandorum," I think.
See ya Tuesday!!!!!!!

Tuesday Popcorn Movie Day

This week I did not see a movie on Tuesday, but saw it on Friday. I'm not changing the blog, just sometimes things come up.
This week I saw the CGI (computer graphic image) film-----"9"
I'm still a little confused about the whole thing, then I thought we don't have to analyze it, just enjoy it for what it is, a visually stunning animated film. It was kinda like a cross between ----"The Nightmare Before Christmas" meets "The Secret of Nimh." Hope that peaks your curiosity and you go and see it. Go and see it because it might just win the Best Animated Picture.
Next week is a choice between the new Jennifer Anniston movie and whatever is at the 12:05pm movie. That is the one I go to. Look for me in the front center row eating the Medium popcorn.

Tuesday, September 8

The purpose of this blog is to review and categorize movies seen on Tuesday at the Regal Cinema in Augusta, GA. Tuesday is also Dollar Popcorn Day. I chose movies because my daughter's work at a movie theatre and my oldest daughter is a film afficionado.

This past Tuesday I was fortunate enough to see the new Sandra Bullock movie----"All About Steve." OK, some of the critics didn't like the movie, but what do they know?
I really liked this film because the main character---Mary, played by Sandra Bullock, was just a very optimistic person. Nothing seemed to bother her, she had a positive outlook on life and was just a little too perky. She didn't seem to have any close friends, but this did not seem to be an obstacle to here being happy.
She wasn't married, or dating either.
Now, I have been married most of my like, at least for 30-odd years and I like that she was happy just with herself. To be happy with yourself is very important.
Friends come and go but you have to love yourself to love others. Isn't that right?
Anyway, if anyone reads this and likes this, please come to the Theatre next Tuesday, the 15th and I will be deciding to see what's out. Or, write me back and tell me your favorite movie you liked this summer or one you may want to see.
