Holy movies, Batman! I can’t remember the last time this
many movies were in theaters that I couldn’t wait to see. When it comes to
breaking the bank as I chomp on Twizzlers and stare at the big screen (after I
silence my cell phone), I’m inundated with spectacular choices.
Skyfall
Non-stop adventure. Oh yeah, that’s me. Whipping around the
house trying to clean before company, planning Christmas on a budget and a
prayer, running from carpool to carpool until I’m like Chicken Little in
disbelief the sky is falling.
Seriously though, my husband and I have enjoyed these movies
since we were newly married and rumor has it (Adele sings theme song) this one
is aces.
I’m Skyfall with one exception; I’m stirred, not shaken.
Les Miserables
Depth + redemption + forgiveness
Story . Of. My. Life.
The first Les Mis with Liam Neeson ranks as one of my
all-time favorites. And now they’ve gone and done it again but with vocals accompanying
the acting. Get me to the movies. And if anyone slips up, forgetting to silence
their phone I will not hesitate to clobber ‘em. Thank God for forgiveness. ;-)
Argo
My children are not far from teenage years. I’m becoming a
CIA operative. Also, as with every person alive, I too have a lot going on
behind the scenes.
Besides, I just have to see a movie where a movie (a
“science fantasy in the style of Star Wars”) saves the day.
Lincoln
Okay, so I’m not a really tall man with a beard, but I
strongly believe in the abolition of slavery—of all kinds. History has always
been one of my best teachers.
To boot, my eight-year-old has a tiny crush on old Abe.
Better go check out more about who captures her attention while she’s still
young.
The Hobbit
Again, not so much a make believe dwarf-like creature but
I’m all about taking on a challenge. If you’ve clicked on thoughts that move more than say, twice, you’d know how much of a
proponent I am of personal growth. Seems The
Hobbit deals with that a smidgen.
I’m sure I’m leaving at least one out. Those are the biggies
though (with Les Mis highest on my list).
Are you the movies you want to see? What movies do you want to see? Seen any I mentioned
you care to comment on?
