DH and I finally took in a movie yesterday. Our first 'date night' in a very, very long time. And we were not disappointed. We went to see Avatar in IMAX 3D. We were a bit worried that it just wouldn't live up to the hype it's been receiving. BUT....It totally did! And even though it's a 2 1/2 hour movie, it moves so fast that we didn't notice the time. Lots of action, great story line, and a civilization you just can't help falling in love with.
And dispite the initial shock, it was sooooo worth the ticket price of $22 (gosh, when did movies get so pricey????). Of course we had to have way too much popcorn, dripping with butter (and extra salt), and a gynormous drink. What fun! BTW, you should definitely go see this movie!!!!
We also watched Coraline the other night on HBO (no commercials - bonus!). It's very 'Tim Burton like' even though he really wasn't involved in the making of it. DH and I were split on how we felt about it. I thought it was really good - albeit bizarre!
And finally to round out this post, I highly recommend Legend of the Seeker, which is on ABC on Saturday nights. Sadly, we only just discovered it in its second season. Not to fear, the first season is out on DVD!!!! I ordered it through Amazon and it should be delivered any day now.
This weekly series is based on Terry Goodkind's twelve (12) book Sword of Truth series. This is such a wonderful series because the author's presentation truly develops and defines the characters, and brings them to life. Which is after all, what a reader reads a series for!
I have an extensive list of "Books I Like" on my sidebar. Just click on the arrow and you can scroll through the drop down menu. I have serveral more books/authors that I need to add and will try to get to that shortly.
Most of the books listed are part of several book series and/or companion type books. For that reason, I highly recommend that you start at the beginning or you might very well end up lost and/or not enjoying the story or author at all.
Well, I guess that's it for now. I need to go find something to do while DH is watching the Super Bowl. Have a great week!
Until Next time...Happy Needling!!!
