OK, so I didn't get to see a movie on Tuesday, but I did force my hubby, Artie to take me to see the new Hilary Swank movie----"Amelia." I didn't really have to force him, he likes aero pictures.
I really enjoyed learning some new things about her, but I didn't think we needed to know all the other stuff about her relationships with men, women, etc.
I would have liked to have seen more in depth how she decided to become a pilot.
The actors, Hilary Swank----Amelia and Richard Gere------George Putnam were fantastic and worked well together. Academy Award should go to Best Cinematography, just go see it and let me know if you agree.
Next Tuesday, we'll have to see if I feel like a scary movie or a romance.

Week of October 12--Kid Flicks
This week I was fortunate to see two movies inspired by books---"Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs--3D" and "Where the Wild Things Are.""
Both movies where for children, but adults will like them, too.
The first film being animated but with great special effects and the last one visually stunning. Cloudy was nothing like the book, it really was just silly. Kids will love it.
But, Wild Things, well-----rarrgh!!! I mean, just how many live action monsters do you know? I particularly loved the voices they gave to the monsters in "Wild Things." You might just recognize a few. The movie was much more than the book, kind of like what happens next to Max.
To rate them, I give Cloudy a **1/2 ----two and a half stars.
Wild Things gets a growling *** three stars.
Next week----Oct. 19, back to scary films----"Paranormal Activity"

Tuesday, Oct. 6
Used my Dollar coupon to get a MED. popcorn.
"Zombieland" was funny as hell!!!!! I laughed my face off, literally. There were only a few people in the audience probably due to the graphic nature of the film. Think lots and lots of blood, but it was so funny you forgot to be scared. I especially loved the Rules for Encountering Zombies. Priceless!!!!
*** stars and an ugggghhhhhhh.

Tuesday, Sept. 29
OK, had a free SODA coupon and a $1 popcorn coupon and was allowed to use both!!!!
AS for the movie I saw----"Pandorum," skip it. It's not even as good as "I Am Legend" and the zombies are not as attractive either.
WASTE of time!!!!!
Next week, another sci-fi movie---"Zombieland."
