Movies....

I've been on a bit of a movie kick lately...reading just hasn't held my interest recently. Thus I've seen a number of movies...most of them good. These are just the ones I've seen in theaters...

This was a good movie, however, as usual, the book was better. In fact, I re-read the first book this weekend and ended up finishing the entire 5 book series. They're worth the read if you don't expect them to be more than they are.

I was really looking forward to this movie. I actually went the Monday after opening weekend. Entirely too many people in the theater...and the ending was not what I would have liked (a little to OPEN, if you know what I mean). But all in all, It was quite enjoyable. After all, who doesn't like the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp pairing?

Went to see this movie within a few days of Alice. I wasn't really that interested in it, but for a 3 hour movie, it really flew. I didn't have to go to the bathroom once, even though I had a HUGE slurpee/slushee thing. It was really quite well done, even if the storyline was a more than a bit overt/obvious about the point it was trying to make.

I went to see this one with Rachel. It didn't look that great to me, but it ended up being quite amusing. Not really worth the evening movie price, more of a matinee type movie (to me), but I did chuckle out loud more than a few times. Plus it was nice just to hang out with my sister.

So I would like to say that I'm going to be better and get back on the reading wagon, but I don't think I will quite yet. There are a few more movies I want to see in the theaters. I have three main ones on my list: How to Train your Dragon (with Dave-aka The Boy-insists on calling "How to Drain your Dragon"), The Diary of a Wimpy Kid (also read this book...fun in a small child sort of way), and The Bounty Hunter. Maybe I'll see if the girls wanna go to that one.

So folks, what say you? Any thoughts on the above mentioned movies...or ones you'd recommend?
