The Movies (277/365)

HH and I went to see the matinee showing of “The Martian” at the Lincoln.
We bought popcorn, of which I somehow managed to jam a hull between my teeth and gum within 5 seconds of eating my first handful.
Nevertheless, I thought the movie was pretty damn good.
Love Matt Damon.
Two thumbs up!

Marquee (078/365)

“I'll be famous one day, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons.”

Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Dir. Thor Freudenthal. With Zachary Gordan and Robert Capron. Color Force, 2010. 

TIME:  6:51 PM
PLACE:  Downtown
SUBJECT:  Theater marquee

”Diary of a Wimpy Kid” opened tonight and the kids and I went to the 7:15pm show.  HandsomeHusband did not join us as he had made plans to eat some corned beef and cabbage (with our blessings!).  The books are favorite reads around our house and the movie did not disappoint.  I predict that we will be purchasing the DVD when they release it later this year.   

The Organist (261/365)

“Sing us a song, you're the piano man,
Sing us a song tonight.
Well we're all in the mood for a melody.
And you've got us feelin' alright.”

Billy Joel Piano Man. Columbia, 1973.

TIME:  6:56 PM
PLACE:  The Lincoln Theatre
SUBJECT:  Pre-Movie Entertainment

The kids and I did go to the movies tonight.  “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” was the show we saw.  The theatre that we go to has volunteer organists who play the pipe organ before shows on Friday and Saturday nights.  The kids enjoyed both the music and the movie.  SD was giggling throughout the film and DQ (who has read the book) said she liked it.  MB only went to the restroom twice during the show, a personal record!  I thought that it was pretty entertaining, funny and worth the $20 spent on admission and $13.25 dropped on sodas, popcorn and candy.
