Have You Been to the Movies Lately?

Is that the original, the remake or both?

Hello BradM,

No, it's the original (Jake and Elwood Blues). I did not care too much for the remake. Although the music was pretty good.

With two kids, age 6 & 2, we really don't get out to the movies much.

We're considering getting a babysitter lined up to see the new Harry Potter movie next month.

The last movie I remember seeing in the theater was Shark Boy and Lava Girl with my (then) 5-yr old in a dollar house.

You hire a babysitter and then send her/him to the movies?

I would expect the older one to really like Harry - go during the day - take the 2 year old, too. The net price will be cheaper than hiring a sitter and the daytime audience won't care if the 2 year old gets "fussy."

OMG!! Shark Boy and Lava Girl- What parts I did not sleep through were really painful! No wonder that's the last movie you saw!

Spider man 3 was decent, but not as good as 1 and 2 (IMHO). The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was really good; the small minority of sequels that are as good/better than the first.

I rented a movie last week that I hadn't heard anything about, but I enjoyed it very much. Its called "The World's Fastest Indian" and it is based on the true story of a guy in New Zealand who had bought an old Indian motorcycle and modified it heavily. He had a dream of taking the bike to Bonneville.

I'll not give any more of the story away, but except for 2 or 3 scenes it might even be OK for the younger ones.

That was a Anthony Hopkins movie, was pretty good if I may say so myself.

I took my 6 year old little girl to see "Surf's Up" and though we both liked the movie I still don't understand why they have to put all the grown up references in it. In one part of the movie, Chicken Joe is in the Forest looking for someone and says "He's around here somewhere I can feel it in my nuggets." Funny....but not something I necessarily want my 6 year old running saying.
