Last Tuesday, my sister and I resumed movie night. It's a combination of movies, coffee, some kind of sugary snack, and just chick chat! We saw a phenomenal movie....Juno. You can read more about it here: Hands Down should win BEST Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Actress! The main character is only 20 years old...from Canada! She is brilliant in this film....so bright and sarcastically fun!! It was a pleasure to watch...we really loved it.
Second flick on the agenda was "The Bucket List" with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. I am a huge Jack Nicholson fan. Anything with these two men in it was bound to be good. I really liked the movie. We laughed so hard! There were scenes where we wanted to cry too, but it was a very well done movie and definitely what I considered - Entertainment!
Now, you are probably wondering why on earth we would want to go to TWO movies back to back....well, in the town where I live, we have what is commonly called...a small neighborhood movie theatre. Tickets used to be $6.00 on Tuesday nights. Well...prices went up and they are now $7.50. Still affordable in our minds and we truly enjoyed both of these flicks!!
By the way, saw "27 Dresses" with my daughter a couple of weeks ago at the OTHER movie theatre where tickets were like $12.00. But, I love Katherine Heigl! I loved her in "Knocked Up", love her in "Greys Anatomy" and still loved her in "27 Dresses". The movie was a riot! The girl has a real gift for comedy. Yes...she can do serious very well also. But, she IS really, really hilarious. She carried the movie all by herself!!
I highly recommend all three of these movies and hope that they do well in the Upcoming Oscars. (And I must admit....I do love the real chick flick movies. I am so looking forward to Kate Hudson's new film, "Fools Gold" coming out next weekend.
We haven't decided what we will be checking out this Tuesday night yet....or I should say IF - as I have a dentist appointment for a tooth that has broken in half. I HATE going to the Dentist. I have spent WAY too many hours in pain due to teeth / jaw problems. Gingivectomy ring any bells....I had one of those when I was in my early twenties. I have more gold in my mouth than I care to admit. But, the damn thing broke, so I have to go get it fixed. Wish me luck.
