I think we fell out of the habit when I had to work most weekends, and now that I'm unemployed, we have to consider if a couple hours entertainment is worth the cash investment it takes these days. We did see Avengers, though, and both enjoyed it, even though Iron Man is the only of the other films we'd seen.<br /><br />We do have one drive-in around these parts, though; we should check that out, though the heat can be a deal breaker sometimes.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065470321265371781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832970822463066044.post-50817461789551242572012-07-31T18:12:31.216-07:002012-07-31T18:12:31.216-07:00There are actually only a select few I think need ...There are actually only a select few I think need to be see large. For the rest NetFlix or even the computer in a pinch. I have an eclectic taste in most things and movies is not exception. Action and adventure have been the safest bet for me of late. Comedy falls flat and the romantic ones make me want to roll my eyes. lolToscaSachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121426970881077763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832970822463066044.post-13662773514660182512012-07-31T17:57:19.384-07:002012-07-31T17:57:19.384-07:00Thanks for these movie reviews.

Especially for "Battleship", they all sound like rip-roaring adventure stories — violence, macho heroes, and the good guys always win in a very predictable plot (that you obviously enjoy). I don't go to the movies often, and the last one I saw like that was "Lord of the Rings", I think. <br />We have no kids in the family, and that's probably why I can get away with favoring more sedate films, with intricate plot twists, strong character development, and powerful acting. The more of those features, the better I like it.<br />Thank goodness there are all kinds of films — there's something for everyone.<br />Robbierobbieschlosser2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035153087936294892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832970822463066044.post-19643574350378837262012-07-31T13:36:35.923-07:002012-07-31T13:36:35.923-07:00This is why the drive ins are nice.

I can only imagine those would be like preschool field trips. lol Still if you are brave. <br /><br />Another local thing they are doing is out door films which would also be great options for families with young children.<br /><br />Barring any of that get a sitter (barter/trade) and get out to a matinee. I recommend it!ToscaSachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121426970881077763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832970822463066044.post-7898907609232840262012-07-31T13:29:58.634-07:002012-07-31T13:29:58.634-07:00I haven't gone to a movie in ages!
