1 and 1/2 dance cards for 2 weeks

 
I did it!
I watched four movies on AMC's dime this week!
I also cashed in on the large popcorn and large drink as my bday67 gift from them!
Woohoo!!!
Last week, I only managed to see two movies, so I put forth a little effort to go for the whole A*List benefit this time... and succeeded!
So, that's six movies over these two weeks... which would have been a normal haul until the change in A*List perks.
Yeah, I can live with that!
Five of those I saw were new, or rather, new to me.
"Fight Or Flight", the new Josh Brolin action flick, was a lot of fun and very fast-paced, with good bits of humor.
It really reminded me of "Bullet Train", just on a huge - and very nice! - airplane.
"Shadow Force" was also very fast-paced, very full of action, but was all about keeping a son safe from the malefactors that were after his parents.
Plus, I kept thinking of Donna Summer every time I saw Kerry Washington, flashing me back to the action flicks of the disco era, so, there's that.
(smile!)
This week I've seen a movie a day since Monday.
That first was "Warfare", which I've already addressed.
Tina Tuesday was "Hurry Up Tomorrow", one I'd looked forward to as it featured The Weeknd, but I had anticipated an actual movie.
Nope.
It was more like an extended music video with many of his songs... and not a particularly good music video.
It certainly wasn't anything I'd ever watch again.
Yesterday, I wanted something I knew I'd like, so back to "Sinners" I went yet again!
Very good move.
That is such an amazingly well-done film... and the music rocks out!!!
The music rocked in the one today, too: Elvis, Elvis, Elvis!!!
I chose the 3-D version of "Lilo & Stitch", just because the time of the screening worked best for me.
How wonderful to find that this quasi-live action-animation was so true to the original!
I had been concerned, as I'm due to see this on my bday67 vacation with the biggest fan of the movie e-v-e-r - she even has a tattoo from the movie on her wrist - and I wanted to make sure she would be pleased.
I'm sure Christina Ann will love it.
That's good.
And now, as I've already seen it, I can be the one to take Miyah and Chloe to the bathroom if they have to go during our outing.
That's really good.
Mission accomplished!
