One thing that Jessie and I love to do is watch movies. We spent many Monday evenings while we were dating out at the movies. And recently, there have been so many movies that we wanted to see, so we spent some of the weekend catching up.
On Friday night, Jess took me out to celebrate my new job. It was so great. We drove down to the Waterfront and grabbed dinner then a movie. We have heard people talking about Avatar for months now, so we had to see it. Jess thought it was pretty good, and I really enjoyed it. The special effects were incredible and it had a classic, epic love story. If you haven't seen it yet, you should go check it out just to say you have seen it.
Saturday night, Jess and I went out with our friends Tiger and his girlfriend. We repeated our Friday night by going down to the waterfront again but saw Crazy Heart this time. It was amazing! I really enjoyed it and I had no expectation going into the movie, which made it seem even more awesome. Jeff Bridges delivered an awesome performance as a washed up country singer. He should definitely be at least nominated for best actor in the Oscars.
My movie weekend was capped off with watching the Hurt Locker last night. Jessie lasted about 20 minutes, but I got through most of it. It was supposed to be really good, but I thought it was kinda disappointing. It was a depressing look at a bomb crew in Iraq.
So all in all... it was a great, critically acclaimed, fun, wife-filled weekend.
debo and i are movie lovers as well. we both enjoyed avatar (esp in 3D IMAX at the waterfront). i haven't heard of crazy heart but jeff bridges is a great actor. as for the hurt locker, debo has got that coming on netflix...but i think i might have jess' approach on that one!
