We've seen 2 movies lately at the $1 theater. I feel rather cheap, because I hate paying so much to go see a regular movie and did not take the girls to see any of the kid's summer movies this year. We did go to the free ones at the Rave though. So I've been watching the theater at Hamilton Place for the movies to come through.
Last week we saw Kung Fu Panda. The kids loved this movie and I really enjoyed it too. It was a really great family movie. It had a positive message and was very funny. This is one I would recommend to everyone and I plan to buy when the movie comes out on DVD.
Yesterday, I took the kids to see the new Indiana Jones. I was looking forward to seeing this since I grew up with the older movies. While the movie did have some interesting parts, to me it was just not the same. Events were sometimes too fantastical. I know that the old movies had some of this too, but the new one took it too far. I really did not like the ending either. It would have been much better if they wrote something simpler. I was also not impressed with Harrison Ford as an actor. He was just not believable as Indiana Jones anymore. It really wasn't his age, but his face just looked tired and like he wasn't enjoying his adventure. The kids ( Miriam & A.J.) enjoyed it, but Lily was too scared to look during some parts. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to waste $6 a person, but I guess $1 was okay.
