Movies

We've seen an unusual number of movies this summer. We go to the discount matinees, usually the first show around noon. Often the theater is nearly empty.

Of course, the most awaited one was the final Harry Potter. We went first thing on Saturday of the week it opened (and the theater was far from empty). I was a bit anxious and pleased to find that while they condensed the story quite a bit, they got in all the important bits.
They got it right.
We prefer science fiction/fantasy/fun movies. Not too graphic (in the violence sense). Marvel comics, Jackie Chan, sometimes Disney.  Over the past few weeks we've enjoyed Green Lantern and
Captain America.
And we're looking forward to Cowboys and Aliens.
It's nice and cool in the theater.
