On Sunday I was stressed from life and needed some time out. So, Scott and I thought we would go and see a movie. I actually went on Fandango and read reviews and looked at what was out there. That is not my norm.
In the end we decided to go see Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I wanted my money back and more importantly my time. It was suppose to be funny but most the time I just groaned wondering why I was sitting there watching this. The few times I did laugh, the little voice in my head was asking "why is this funny and what does it say about you that you are laughing at this?" not really what I want running through my head while I laugh.
By the time we left we were in some ways more down then when we entered the movie. So now what? Well of course I could not just cut my losses. So back to my comp we went. After looking around again we decided to try a dollar show instead and go see City of Ember at Movies 8. Firstly did you know there is no more dollar show? Kids and students and matinees are $1.25 and normal tickets are $1.50. Inflation at work. *sigh* I liked this one better, at least I didn't want my money back. :) But, there were lots of plot holes. I really wasn't sure the driving factors in this story. Maybe, if I had read the book it would have been better.
On the way home I asked Scott which show he liked better. He said "neither". When I pressed him and asked if he had to recommend one which would he tell people to see, "I would tell them to save their money and find something better". So all in all a disappointing "unwind" day. Ah well. Back to life.
PS. We did see Marley and Me a few weeks ago and I really liked that one. So when that is at the dollar theatre go see that.

Thanks for the update on Mall cop, guess will wait until it comes out on video to watch. I'm on facebook, tried to request you as a friend. It's under my married name. Hope you are well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning... I was wondering about that movie. They make it look so funny, but if it sucks that bad I doubt I will ever even rent it.
ReplyDeleteI do, however, still want to see Marley and me... but not in the icky dollar theater. I always feel like im gonna walk out with head lice or some nasty disease. :P
I will rent that one for sure!
Can't wait to go see Coraline with you this weekend! I am so excited to see that one.
I heard Marley and Me was worth seeing. Thanks for telling us what not to see!
ReplyDeleteSometimes no matter what we do big and/or little things just don't work out. Thankfully that means soon things get better again. Yay for balance in the universe!
