Blah Movie Time
I was so excited...we got a $25 gift card for Blockbuster and a $25 card for Starbucks from our bank account reward points. I looked forward to renting some movies I had wanted to see. I wanted to see Becoming Jane for awhile now. So last night we rented it, along with I am Legend (Suj's choice). Watched Becoming Jane last night. It's about Jane Austen. I was left feeling very melancholy after the movie, a feeling I don't want to feel after watching a movie...especially when each rental costs almost $5. I like her books as movies, I just didn't have too much fun watching a part of her own life as a movie.
Then today we watched I am Legend. I told Suj that we'd have to watch it during the day because I didn't want any creepy images in my mind fresh before bed. Well it wasn't creepy really, but had that tension and suspense that this kind of movie would have. And the virus filled people were creepy but it was because of a virus gone haywire at least and not because they were just weird monsters. haha. But I didn't really like it, and was left feeling slightly grossed out and again melancholy after the movie. Double bummer. Another $5 of the gift card gone.
I decided I needed some comedy in my life after all that. So tonight School of Rock was on TV, one of my favorite movies. I've seen it so many times but wanted to see it again, and yet again it made me happy to watch and at the end I was left feeling refreshed. And it was free, on TV! Yay.
We have enough to probably rent three more movies...it's hard to pick which three and hope they aren't a waste of the money. I am picky about movies I guess. I don't like movies that make me feel badly while watching and end with me feeling badly.
I can't wait to see Prince Caspian next weekend! My parents will be back and can watch Kavi so we can go. I'm sure I'll love that movie.

Hey Christina - if you want to watch a good, uplifting movie, rent Juno. I loved that one.

Sorry you didn't enjoy the movies you rented. That stinks! You might like "August Rush". It's cute. :) ~Jillian~
i know what you mean about being disappointed by movies. i haven't seen many good ones lately either. i did, however, really enjoy Saawariya ... although it made me cry. maybe not what you want right now, but beautiful, nonetheless.
Stina...hey there!
Marlene is right, Juno is wonderful, even if the subject matter is a bit touchy. It was a great movie.
As far as I Am Legend....that made me both angry and it made me cry. I hated that BOTH Will Smith and the dog ate it in the end.
I haven't seen the other movie you talked about yet but eventually will get around to it.
I heard Evan Almighty was a good movie... I haven't seen it though...Oh and i loved Prince Caspian! It made me cry a few times. I was so happy that they were back in Narnia again, that i cried! and so on... Next up, Voyage of the Dawn Treader!
