The One With Movies
I have made two New Year's resolutions:
1. Eat one fresh fruit a day
2. Never ever again buy soda from a movie theater
I'm one who absolutely needs fizzy fountain soda and popcorn during a trip to the cinema. It's completely ridiculous how it costs $3.75 for a soda that's $0.89 cents around the block. All one needs is a waterproof tote to sneak that 89 cent sucker in, and voila, that's roughly $2.00 savings! I see many trips to the movies in my immediate future and this is one handy dandy tip I'm sure to apply!
Speaking of movies, my christmas vacation necessitated quite a few:
Lord of The Rings: Return of the King
Wow, this was such an awesome movie. That's surprising coming from me as I was never really into the whole LOTR-thing, but this one changed my mind about it. It was so awesome, that I'm actually willing to sit through another 3.5 hours seeing it again!
Paycheck
This movie was written by the same dude that wrote Minority Report. I guess I was expecting too much from this one, because I was slightly dissapointed when I left the theater. I blame it on Ben Affleck. Oh, and the orange fake-n-bake hue he donned throughout the movie.
Love Actually
Aww .. I really liked this one, and not because of the British accents (although that was a great bonus). It's a great date movie for the holidays. Though I have to complain about how short Rowan Atkinson's appearance was. He's listed as a main character! :(
The Last Samurai
This one was pretty good, although now that a few weeks have passed since I'd seen it, the only thing I remember is how annoyed I was at the idiot nearby who kept chatting on his cell phone during the movie! Teenagers.
Peter Pan
I love the concept of neverland, but the mild sexual undertone was uh, inconveniently appropriate. Buti it wasn't bad.
Elf
I've already raved about this one, but I must say it again: HILARIOUS! So hilarious I saw it twice. And accidentally spit soda on my companion both times.
Oh yeah, P.S. I start another dreadful quarter of school tomorrow. Weep.
