My Day at the Movies

I spent the day (9-5) at the movies...I love going to the movies...and I really don't mind going by myself...No one to have to apologize for when the movies I choose are awful...
I had a really fun day alone and will probably go again sometime.

The morning began with Alvin and the Chipmunks...
I was the only one in the theater...which was embarrassing on multiple levels:
  • I was alone in a theater
  • I was watching Alvin and the Chipmunks
  • I was there for the 9:10am showing (on a Saturday)
  • I laughed out loud right as the cleaning crew came in (thinking they could "clean up" early since no one was in the theater)
All in all, it was cute (for kids)...I will not be purchasing this movie.

I went and bought a soda and a ticket for Sweeney Todd...
This theater was pretty packed...and the dumb people behind me talked at full volume every 10 minutes for the first half-hour.

Here's what you should know if you plan to see this movie:
  • It's about a murdering barber
  • It's a musical
  • It's really dark and gory

If you are aware of all of this...and expecting it...you might actually enjoy it...
I thought it was really well done...creepy and bloody...but the cinematography is so great.
I will probably buy this movie.

After this, I bought a Juice It Up and a ticket for Walk Hard.
I love John C. Reilly, so I was hoping for the best. Sorry, John...
It was super dirty, and not at all funny...the people in the theater laughed a few times, I laughed once (at the very, very end) and since I laughed at something that wasn't dirty, I was the only one who laughed at that moment.
Not worth your time (even as a rental)

I ran outside, caught my mom and went in to see Juno (two days in a row).
I love this movie. I laughed and cried. I've re-laughed at lines just thinking about them...
I'm not the only one with this opinion: Bethany, Jaime, Cathi, My mom.
I can't wait to own this movie...

I think this is a great way to catch up on all the movies you want to see. Then, if there is a stinker in the mix, you don't care so much.
I LOVED Juno...thought of a TON of great lines in it last night and laughed again.
I will own this movie too.

4 movies ... this beats my personal best of three ... I consider this a challenge.

Sounds almost like a perfect day. Was there a slurpee somewhere during the day? Because that might be the missing element.

I haven't seen Walk Hard yet and I'm sad to hear your, and a couple others, negative review. Surely the presence of Pam could have redeemed any negative aspects.

I'm so glad Juno is great...I have high expectations!
