We Went to the Movies!
Our son is home from college while he is on spring break. I may have told you before that when our kids are home it usually means we got to the movies. My husband and I prefer to rent DVD’s and sit in our own living room to watch a movie. You have to love that remote that has a little stop button for when you need to use the bathroom or get a snack.
I surprised my husband and son by suggesting we go to the movie tonight! LOL It might have helped that I had a $20 Fandango gift certificate waiting to be used. Thanks Laura at Buy Better and Have a Better Life! I won the gift certificate through an online giveaway she had.
Greg and I wanted to see Slumdog Millionaire but my husband didn’t really want to see it. That meant going to see my second choice, Confessions of a Shopaholic. (I just used spell check and shopaholic is in there! That cracks me up!) I didn’t give my husband a chance to back out as we headed out to the movie theater.
We all loved the movie. Amy Adams has been in so many movies lately! She is able to pull off just about any type of character. She has been in Enchanted, Doubt and Night at the Museum, just to name a few. Before I knew who she was she was in The Wedding Date with Debra Messing! I didn’t know that was her since she was all blonde and everything. If you get a chance, go see Confessions of a Shopaholic. It is a great movie and teenage friendly.

Karen, I’m glad to know you used the Fandango Gift certificate you won and that you enjoyed that movie. I’m adding it to my “to-watch” list.

We went & saw this one last weekend. We liked it too (DH didn’t go). I knew I had seen the actress before but couldn’t place her! Thanks for the info!

Congratulations,i am always happy when i manage to win something, but it was so long time ago…
Slumdog was the Barack Obama of the Oscars: it wasn’t the favorite when it was nominated, but swept the Academy Awards on a wave of hope & media hype like never before seen.
It also helps that it was a good movie, with a pulsating soundtrack by A. R. Rahman & MIA, among others.
