Movie Time!

Yesterday afternoon we went to see Rango. I've been waiting for awhile for this movie to come out. It was definitely funny. Worth seeing! We also recently saw Megamind. I was a little annoyed at Megamind. I thought the plot was going to be different. About halfway thru the movie both of us we're chatting about how we thought it was about a retired superhero. The storyline was a tiny bit misrepresented in the previews. It was still funny and it ends up coming together. I liked that it was a different take on animated superhero type movies.

I was given the movie "Life As We Know It" by my boyfriend. A chick-flick but one that my boyfriend was able to sit through without enduring too much pain....I think at least! Another movie we saw recently which is certainly worth renting is "Red". I liked it so much that I purchased it a few days later. There is a lot of gun scenes but it's not gross hide your eyes type of scenes. Trust me if I can handle it just about anyone can!

And would you believe my boyfriend has gotten me into the X-men series? We watched X-Men 3 last week. I must say so far X-Men 3 is my fave. Never imagined myself getting into X-Men but I'm glad I'm willing to give things a chance. They also have good actors/actresses in them.

My boyfriend and I give movies a fair chance to get us into them but if it's not that great we don't hesitate to turn it off and do something else. No point wasting a good portion of an evening watching a horrible movie. So all movies I have mentioned didn't get the axe. We watched from beginning to end. Of the recent movies we've viewed it's hard for me to pick a fave. When Rango does come out on blu-ray it will be added to my growing collection. We've had long streaks of bad movies, times where we just can't seem to find a good movie. Currently though I think we're on a bit of a good(or at least) decent movie streak. The good movies we've watched of late outweigh the so-so ones.
