Last movie you watched? - Page 84

David usually takes the kids to movies and I stay home and listen to the quiet

Last weekend he took Riley to see Mirror Mirror and they loved it. However, he said he was glad he didn't take Owen because it's very much a "tween" type movie.

This weekend he took Owen to see The Lorax. He said "it's very preachy save the world from the bad humans ala Wall*E". Owen was bored. That surprised me. I thought they'd love it.

We loved the Lorax - it is surprisingly political considering it's Dr. Seuss, but I don't think in a heavy-handed way.

The Lorax is definitely a movie for tree huggers and we enjoyed it. Er, the kids did. I enjoyed a short nap during it (leaning up against my friend with whom we attended the movie. She napped too. Great chaperones, huh?).

I rented the Descendents. It was just OK. I didn't get what all the hype was about as far as the girl who played George Clooney's daughter. And the ending was just "eh" to me.

I snoozed a little too

Matthew refused to go because "it's a baby movie", but Sara really enjoyed it. As soon as we got out of the theater she wanted to know if we could buy it on DVD

We went to see The Lucky One Sunday. I didn't think it was bad, but I heard it's getting bad reviews

Bev · April 24th, 2012, 07:54 AM

I watched The Bounty Hunter and Boy in the Striped Pyjamas on Netflix. They were good. The ending was crazy on Striped Pyjamas.

Karri · April 24th, 2012, 08:07 AM

My kids are dying to see The Lorax. (and wall-e is one of their faves).

Recently, we watched Ghostbusters 1and 2 with the kids

and then we watched The Descendants. Which I loved.

I watched "The Bounty Hunter" on Netflix on the weekend. It was OK.

Darcy · April 27th, 2012, 09:38 PM

We had a rare date night last night and saw American Reunion. It was hilarious and made us realize how much we can relate to some of the characters.

gulp! · April 28th, 2012, 09:38 AM

We watched the Descendants last weekend. I thought it was very good, and thought the older daughter did a great job. (side note- did you know that movie was co-written by the guy that plays the crazy bald guy who is the head of Greendale U on Community?!)

Last night we watched Martha Marcy Mae Marlene (I think I got that right), which was excellent but disturbing, too. Elizabeth Olsen was really good in it.

Eva · May 3rd, 2012, 02:19 PM

I watched "Monte Carlo" last night on Netflix. It was cute but silly fluff.

LISA · May 5th, 2012, 11:04 PM

Got Green Lantern from the library..started with Paige watching with me, I ended with just me watching..only 'cause Ryan Reynolds

then it was Ghost Protocal.. liked it despite Tom.. I rented The Help and Adventures of Tin Tin for Paige..we'll watch tomorrow..

Karri · May 5th, 2012, 11:39 PM

Cedar Rapids(?) tonight. Stupid.

LISA · May 6th, 2012, 08:11 AM

Anyone see Avengers? I want to see it. My coworker posted on facebook she went to see it again last night after going on opening night,Friday..

Shel · May 6th, 2012, 08:40 AM

Jacob saw Anvengers last night and liked it so much he said he'd go again with Kaleb and David today

kalm · May 6th, 2012, 10:12 AM

Scott took the boys to see it yesterday and they all came back with good reviews.

MamaGoofy · May 6th, 2012, 10:56 AM

I plan to take David to see it next Saturday as a mom/son date for Mother's day.

Mary DK · May 6th, 2012, 01:28 PM

Kelley, did he also take Brendan? What did he think? I'm on the fence about taking Ian since it's a PG13 movie but I know some people that have taken their 7 yr olds to it and said it was okay.

kalm · May 6th, 2012, 03:06 PM

Brendan didn't seemed to be phased. I didn't really check it out before they went, but B said it was "awesome!"

Eva · May 6th, 2012, 06:35 PM

I watched "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" the other night. I did end up likely it but it was so slow to get into. Half way though I ended up really liking it. Glad I didn't give up on that. I also watched "The Help" last night. THis was my second time seeing it it and I still loved it.
