Movie Mania.. and some disappointments....

I rarely go to the movies (although I love it.. don't know why I don't go) but this weekend I went to 2. The first one was last night.. date night for Bill and I.. and since we didn't want to go to a late afternoon because we left Billy in charge, we were limited to our choices. So the one that fit into the time slot was THE MESSENGERS. I love a good creepy flick that makes me have to watch through my hands while saying "what's going on?" "what happened". I knew this one was going to be a "B" movie by watching the trailor for it so I wasn't surprised that it was "metza metza". I did enjoy it.. Yes, it was pretty stupid, but it got the requisite jumps out of me and I did some hand peeking.. I think I enjoyed being out with my hubby so I didn't mind that it was predictable. The whole farmhouse out in North Dakota, with troubled teen in a haunted house thing. Should you go? Probably not.

The second one was a HUGE disappointment. I'm sad to say that we took the kids to see NORBIT, the new Eddie Murphy movie. Since we both got a kick out of Nutty Professor and love to see how he can become different characters, we thought it might be semi funny.. It was bad. The language was bad, the humor was bad. It was racist, sexual, and just plain stupid. Unfortunately, the boys thought it was funny. I'll have to do more homework next time. I told them how I didn't like the language (everyone was a **tch and Billy said good thing you don't go my school, Mom, because that's how people talk. How very sad. This movie had some potential of being humerous. I'm not an Eddie Murphy fan at all.

Anyway, we are going out now to Matt's football banquet, where he will recieve another trophy to add to his headboard collection. This will be 100% more entertaining than the couple hours that I wasted this afternoon.
