2 Theater & 1 DVD

Last week we got our movie on. We went to the movies twice and then we watched a DVD that came in the mail from Netflicks.

First up was No Strings Attached with Natalie Portman and Aston Kutcher. It was hysterical. We laughed all the way through it. It was a typical, predictable rom-com but the writing was funny. We really enjoyed the movie. If you're looking for a laugh and especially if you're looking for a good date movie then you should go watch this one. It was funny and fun.

Next we watched The King's Speech. What an amazing movie!! It is based on a true story and those stories typically make compelling movies. This did not disappoint. And it was actually funny. To be such a great movie that is getting so much award season buzz I didn't expect the funny but it is! If you get a chance you need to watch this movie. Also, something that I enjoyed was how similar the actors looked like the people they portrayed. Two thumbs up! Please do yourself a favor and go see it!

And the DVD we watched was Crazy Heart. Now, this movie knocked my socks off! I'm not a fan of country music. One of my favorite jokes is what do you get when you play a country song backwards? You get your house, your dog and your wife back. Honestly, I was not looking forward to this movie because of the country music and because I didn't think it would have a happy ending. This movie totally blew me away! I even enjoyed the music in the movie. The movie received a lot of award buzz last year and so I figured there had to be something to it. It was wonderful in it's simplicity. There is a scene where Jeff Bridges and Robert Duvall went fishing. I do not enjoy fishing. If I'm going to be on a lake I'd much rather be skiing but watching those two guys made me want to get out on a lake with a fishing pole and just relax. It was such a great movie that was really enjoyable to watch. AND....it did have a happy ending although it was not the one I was expecting. Please go rent this movie if you get a chance. Two more thumbs up!!
