I'm watching a toddler during the day and she gets to pick a movie while she's here to help with nap time (she almost never finishes a movie. Score!) She has a few faves she cycles through, unfortunately Happy Feet is one of them. Never a fave of mine during today's viewing I realized I HATE that movie. Hate it, like now I want to burn it, at the very least hide it. It's like they wanted to include every plot twist possible and there are sections that are WAY over the head of any average child. Definitely a downer type movie for me. My kids came home and picked Wizard of Oz...much better!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397053048120628254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-69340739199529553582015-01-14T18:10:02.498-05:002015-01-14T18:10:02.498-05:00I just watched Dark Skies over the weekend and was...I just watched Dark Skies over the weekend and was SO pissed off with the ending! I also watch Django Unchained and that was very good and made up for the other flick. The German guy had some tremendous wit.dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-64489593994988312812015-01-14T12:46:21.335-05:002015-01-14T12:46:21.335-05:00Love Liza.

Gu...Love Liza. It was a good movie but VERY bleak <br />Gummo: it had dead cats in it which upset me (I'm a crazy cat lady)<br />Amores Perros: I was sick and my hubby got a movie. He clearly didn't read the description or he would have (hopefully) skipped it. I nearly had a fit when the dog fighting started. It was a very bleak movie about folks with horrible lives.JLVerdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814082484881071454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-15907610965161924942015-01-14T10:55:50.634-05:002015-01-14T10:55:50.634-05:00The trailer for Men Women and Children had me all ...The trailer for Men Women and Children had me all "whuh??". I could tell it was gonna be a "scary" mess. Maybe I'll see it now that it's on Redbox. <br /><br />To answer your question...hmmm...I think "Young Adult" with Charlize Theron left me feeling a little...ugh. I expected "dark humor" not depression. LOL Also, maybe "August: Osage County". There was no humor to be found in that dysfunction. LOL I liked "This is Where I Leave You", though.tigalileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474678867513488001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-15773278801237378732015-01-14T09:05:14.774-05:002015-01-14T09:05:14.774-05:00I watched "This is Where I Leave You" ov...I watched "This is Where I Leave You" over the holidays and really enjoyed it. My husband and I have gotten out of movies though and have a plethora of TV shows we're now following. I think it's because one reason I don't enjoy movies, is because I invest all this energy in to the characters and at the end of it, boom, I never see them again. At least with TV, I can invest time and energy in the characters and they'll keep coming back!<br /><br />Have you seen Brooklyn 99? It's our current fave sitcom TV show. It actually has me laughing multiple times/episode. :)Shannon Tatlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201334366054546086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-53545951953889428512015-01-14T08:50:57.031-05:002015-01-14T08:50:57.031-05:00I'm not sure what the last movie that made me ...I'm not sure what the last movie that made me feel like crap at the end was, although I know there have been some. A couple weeks ago we decided to watch something on Netflix and started 2 different movies that we could only stand to watch like 10 minutes of. Then we broke out ;Monty Python and watched that.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-30263471620044101032015-01-14T07:47:33.349-05:002015-01-14T07:47:33.349-05:00Yes, they did make you think.

I enjoy our post movie discussions as well and I like that we're both 98% on the same page with most of the things we rent. :-)Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-26477104360770845692015-01-14T07:06:09.060-05:002015-01-14T07:06:09.060-05:00That was a downer movie night for sure.

Still, I enjoy our movie nights and our discussions after some movies that make you think so it's all good in the end.The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
