Movies Galore

We are into the movie time of Christmas vacation. I love watching movies and with the temperatures making it unbearable to go out for any length of time, we have taken to glueing ourselves in front of the TV. In the last few days we have watched lots of movies. Hubby can only take movies so much before he starts to get a little on the loonie side so while it has been a marathon of movies it hasn't been our best marathon by any stretch of the imagination.

We watched 88 Minutes last night with Al Pacino. It was a fast paced murder mystery that I would say was high on tension and well done but the plot was nothing extraordinary. Before that we watched Raising Helen which was a light hearted transition movie. On a scale of 1 - 10 it rated about 6. Typical story of a person who goes through life changes and realizes that she likes the changes in the end.

We watched Dutchess which is a period piece with Kiera Knightly. Quite well done based on a true story. Before that was Grease 2 Bleck! But it passed the time and you need a good mix of things to entertain you. Before that was Pirates of the Caribean.... we've seen it about 30 times now. Before that was Vanity Fair with Reece Weatherspoon. Well done period piece again. How did those women back then ever put up with their slavery to men? Beats me. Then it was Girls Just Want To Have Fun which made me feel old because Helen Hunt was about fourteen years old in it as was Sarah Jessica Parker. Very corny movie super for teens. Before that was Hilary Duff in Raise Your Voice. The girls liked that one since it was a typical teeny bopper movie. Before that was Prince Caspian which strayed from the booksomewhat. I would think that it would make C.S. Lewis turn over in his grave but I liked it all the same. I'm a complete fan of the Narnia series of books. So today we are going to watch Leatherheads which is a story about Football in the thirties....

If you have suggestions for movies that you have watched let me know as I would love to get your opinion on good movies. Just leave your opinion in the comments area of this post.
