I watched 2 movies!

I will never be described as a movie fanatic. In fact, there are months where I don't watch a single movie at all. (Which is funny, because my husband LOVES movies-- I guess opposites do attract! LOL) Anyhow... Friday night I watched, not one, but 2 movies in a row! 

At our house, Friday nights are typically a pizza dinner and kid movie night. I hardly ever watch the kids' movies because I have either seen them a thousand times already (can we say "Frozen"? LOL) or I really don't want to (can we say the live action Alvin and the Chipmunk movies that Rebecca loves!). 

 

Well Friday I rented "Snow White and the SEven Dwarfs" for the kids to watch. Disney re-released it and it was digitally remastered. My kids had never seen it and the last time I had seen it was when I was a little girl. The kids loved it, even though I forgot how dark the movie was. It was nice to pay attention to it and I am only slightly annoyed that I am still singing "Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work we go." in my head 2 days later! LOL


 After the kids went to bed, I then put in "The Martian" starring Matt Damon. According to IMDB.com, this is what "The Martian" is about:  During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive.

One of my all time favorite movies is "Apollo 13" starring Tom Hanks, so I thought I would like this movie as well. And I was right. I thought it was funny, emotional, and kept me on the edge of my seat. I would highly recommend you see it. 

So, for someone who typically does not watch movies, to have watched 2 in one day is something! 

Have you watched any good movies lately?
