Summer Movies
It feels like summer is racing by. Deadlines are looming and I need to scare up gainful employment for the fall yet what am I thinking about? Going to the movies, of course! I can't believe it's the middle (almost end) of July and I have only seen one official big budget popcorn movie so far. Charlie, Wonka and Veruka, et al were fun - cute musical numbers and quite a piece of work as far as art direction but let's face it, the orig movie didn't need to be remade. I love Jonny Depp AND Tim Burton but really... remakes are just not something these guys should be spending/wasting their talents on.
So if anyone out there has a suggestion, review or warning, please chime in! Where should a kitty spend her hard earned $10.50 this week?
I want popcorn!!!

I've been told that "march of the penguins" is a real tear-jerker...also, Morgan Freeman is the narrator. This is exciting not only because Morgan Freeman is cool, but also because his is the narrator in War of the Worlds as well.

Something "super" sounds good. It's just what I need to take me out of the "ordinary" world of job hunting.
The aisle seat is fine. Just let me know the exact show time so I can calculate the drive time from San Francisco. :)

Well, I guess I've seen a few things since Oscars but I think I need a superhero or a super apocalypse right now. How about you? I'll save you the aisle seat if you want. :)

You must be reading my mind. I just mused briefly on my blog about remakes (citing Wonka as an example). Don't feel bad, Lisa. I haven't seen anything in a theatre since "Million Dollar Baby" just before the Oscars.
I'll be happy to share the popcorn with you. :)
