I am not one say "hey - let's watch a movie" or "Want to go to the movies?" Sarah is the one that loves movies and I am usually caught up in her excitement. But this summer we have been taking in lots of movies old and new and it has been lots of fun. One day we even say two in a row at the theater and I don't think I have ever done that! So here is what we've seen recently and what I thought but please see them and form your own opinions, never take my word for it because I don't get out much:-)
Inside Out: Indie film with big names, strange, dark and not my cup of tea. I do like Steven Webber though.
Music and Lyrics: Very cute. Hugh Grant is so funny! It is worth it just to see him do the 80's music video.
The Holiday: Second time I had seen this, very enjoyable although I did nap through most of the second half. oops.
Breach: S...l....o....w... I guess it is hard when you know going in what the ending is but some of the details were sketchy and I wanted to know more about why he sold secrets.
Over the Hedge: Again, second time through but it gets me every time, they are so darn cute!
Evan Almighty: This was funny, I liked it better than Evan Almighty, it had a great message and lots great one liners.
Harry Potter 5: What can you say - it's Harry Pottter.
Hairspray: I highly recommend this one - great songs and the cast was amazing!
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry: Hilarious! I was skeptical going in but Kevin James is really funny and Adam Sandler seems to have grown up a bit. The movie was definitely worth sitting through it with two of our former students in the theater (which at first was a little uncomfortable)
Live Free/Die Hard: Very funny, Justin Long is hilarious and Kevin Smith plays a funny guy too. Lots of action and suspense!
Summer School: Sarah had never seen this so we netflixed it and it is good summer fun all the time plus Mark Harmon is good all the time too.
National Treasure: Again, a repeat for me but I wanted Sarah to watch it and I enjoyed it again. I like the history part.
Daddy's Girls: Very moving story, quite sad when you realize that this happens in real life all too often. Tyler Perry is a great film maker.
That's it for now, we have three new ones down stairs awaiting us. Work starts this week so our free time will dwindle a bit but I am sure we will keep our netflix subscription busy. If you have any recommendations let me know!

Just watched Pride, about the Philly swim team....it was good. Brought tears to my eyes even tho I had to pause it 3 times to deal with life ;)
Makes me thankful to be who I am and so sorry for all the racism in the world.
watched No Reservations tonight with some girlfriends. Good flick! Rather predictable, but made me cry......however that may not be saying much ;)
