2 Movies - 1 Long Weekend

If you don't already know, you will learn quickly that John and I LOVE going to see movies. We normally go every Friday and then will sometimes go see a $4 movie Saturday or Sunday morning (but that is only if lots of good movies came out that weekend). Anywho, this weekend we saw The Book of Eli and Lovely Bones.



First off, The Book of Eli was a great movie. You really can't go wrong with Denzel Washington. But it is a great story and has an amazing ending that definitely makes you think about your own spirituality and religious beliefs.



This morning we saw The Lovely Bones. (A movie theater in our town has $4 admission if you go before noon - so sometimes we wake up and will take advantage of that deal.) First off, this movie was definitely depressing but was a good story. It was a little long but what Peter Jackson film isn't. It made me think of when I have my own children and constantly being terrified of the crazy people in the world. But, you have to do your best and protect your family to the best of your ability.

I would definitely recommend both movies -- but you will definitely need a specific mood for both. If you aren't in the mood to be sad, do not go see The Lovely Bones!
