Just in case you weren't aware of this - I love to watch movies. Old black and whites are my favorite!! Since retiring Dave and I have frequently hit the movie circuit on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon. Two reasons - its cheaper and there is free popcorn (Tues.- Southridge and Wed. - Copper Creek). Well the good news - we have seen a lot of interesting movies of late; the bad news - with the Oscar nominations out there won't be too many movies worth seeing for awhile. Below are some of the ones we have seen since the middle of December, in no particular order:
1. Slumdog Millionaire - my favorite - one of the best all around movies we have seen in a long time
2. The Reader - good performances but depressing
3. Revolutionary Road - good performances but depressing
4. Grand Torino - lots of foul language, but Clint is at his best
5. Valkyrie - too bad Tom Cruise failed in his attempt on Hitler
6. Rachel Gets Married - different kind of wedding, but what a great performance by Anne Hathaway
7. Australia - interesting facts about the Aborigines (Hugh Jackman wasn't bad to look at either)
8. Tales of Despereaux - liked Ratatouillee better
9. Madacasgar 2 - fun
Two movies we didn't get a chance to see but will buy when out on DVD - Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons and Defiance
A movie I just bought and plan on watching soon - Fireproof
