Weeknight Movie Night!

This week we spent a weekday evening going to a movie.  We sometimes like to go out for a weekday movie night.  It's fun to do something different during the week every once in awhile.

We went to see the new Superman movie in 3D Imax.  The Imax is so much fun to see a movie.  Superman was great. They must have had a large budget because lots of things got destroyed!  They did a great job with it. Lots of action. Before arriving at the theatre I worried about all the flying in the movie and the fact that it was 3D Imax, I thought it might bother me, make me feel dizzy. However, I handled it just fine.  We saw Jim Carrey in A Christmas Carol at the 3D Imax a couple years ago, I had to shut my eyes a few times with the flying around that he did in that movie.  I think I'm much more used to 3D and the Imax experience now though.

Even though I hadn't seen any of the previous Superman's it wasn't a big deal.  This one is the story of how Superman came to be.  The focus is Superman's life from infant to his mid-30's.  I didn't miss out on knowledge of previous Superman movies.  It had some good people in it too.  Nice to see Amy Adams in a more meaningful movie role versus being in a fluff role like she's done in the past.  She played Lois Lane but previously starred in Confessions of a Shopaholic.  Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, and Russell Crowe are also in the new Superman.

Any way it was a nice movie night out.  I love going to movies.  But we are somewhat picky.  It's a bit pricey to go so we like to have a few recommendations from people before we actually spend our money to go see a particular movie.  We're much more likely to rent a movie and have "movie night" at home then go to a theatre.  Although I have recently racked up a few movie nights as winnings from different bets we've made with one another so I need to cash in on 3 movie nights out soon.
