Movies Seen

My wife and I watched "The Hunger Games" on Friday evening.  We got it from Redbox for $1.60.  This is somewhat cheaper than the $11.50 (each) they charge at the theater or even the $6.00 (each) for the weekend matinee special.  Surround sound with a 60" HDTV, microwave popcorn, no need to turn off cell phones, being able to pause it for a bathroom break, no screaming kids, lots of leg room, priceless.

Anyway, the movie was great.  I give it 4.5 out of 5.  Recommend reading the book first, as it gives more information that you might like to have while watching.

Sunday evening we watched "A Death at a Funeral", which is a British comedy my wife found utterly hilarious.  I had actually seen it before a long time ago, but since it had been such a long time, it looked "new" to me! 

The Hunger Games

Reserved "The Hunger Games" on Redbox.  Will pick it up after work.  Purchased the book of the same title for my Kindle.  Got to see what all the fuss is about.

Movies Seen

Last night we saw "Patrick 1.5" which is a Swedish film about a married gay couple (male) who want to adopt a child.  They are finally approved and receive a letter in the mail from Social Services that has a small typo in it.  Instead of 1,5 year old child, they get a 15-year old child with a troubled background and is homophobic. Good movie about learning to get along.

Do do do do do doooo

The original series The X-Files is on Netflix Instant Viewing.  Nice to see Scully and Molder again.  "The Truth Is Out There".
