I have gotten to see a few movies since Thanksgiving. There are 2 you HAVE to see:
1. Avatar - a few people I have told were like "Really? It kind of looked weird" The first time I saw the previews, I thought the same thing...I thought it was a weird animated film. It is definitely not. I don't like to hype up movies too much because then they don't meet your expectation, so just go see it thinking, "well, Heather liked, but she likes most movies, so who knows??" Then after you see, we'll chat about this phenomenal movie :) It had ALL the elements of a great movie - a love story, good vs. evil, special effects, humor, creativity. Seriously, one of my very favorite movies in YEARS...and I see a lot of movies!
2. The Blind Side - LOVED this movie too! Sandra Bullock rocks. She did an amazing job. This is such an incredible story. I just bought the book and am half way through it. It is really good too.
Other movies you might want to see...
It's Complicated - we laughed a lot in this movie. Very entertaining
Up In the Air - really like George! Not the typical romantic comedy, so I see why the critics liked it (they hate romantic comedies...weird right?!?) Lots of bad language, so beware!
I Netflixed Romeo & Juliet because somehow Ryan made it through high school, college, med school, residency, and 1/2 of fellowship without ever knowing the story of Romeo & Julie. I think this came up when I dragged him to New Moon and said something like "Stephanie compared New Moon to Romeo & Juliet" and Ry was like "I never had to read R&J...I don't know the story" So anyway, we watched the movie...I obviously new the ending but was still bugged because there is SO many ways they could/should have ended up together, but somehow both end up dead! Hadn't those kids ever heard of eloping!!!!????
I have not see Sherlock Holms yet, but have heard good things. Leap Year is next (Jan 8 :)
That is about all...go see Avatar and the Blind Side and report back!
