So instead, I’m going to take it easy and talk about some of the movies I’ve seen lately.
We rented Captain America this weekend and I really liked it. Not as much as Iron Man, but more than Thor.
I liked the hint of steampunk and the retro, 1940’s feel. I didn’t like the tacked-on romance they
wrote in as an afterthought, but it seems most of the marvel movies have that
in common. Overall, though, it was a great final lead-in to the Avengers movie
coming up in May 2012.
My husband and I also went to watch In Time when it came out two weeks
ago. This is the one with Justin Timberlake as poor kid from the hood who finds
himself gifted with time. And time is a really hot commodity since people are
genetically engineered to only live until age 28—that is, unless they can
manage to earn more time, doled out by the minutes and hours as a substitute
for money. I thought this was a fantastic premise and it had huge potential,
but the director/writers/actors, none of them really went as far with it as
they could have, which was ultimately really disappointing.
Actually, now that I think about it, that’s about it. I don’t get out
much. Especially during NaNoWriMo. However, I’m still hoping to see Immortals,
Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, and of course as the new year rolls around…The
Hunger Games. OMG. Did you see the trailer!??!! If not, then check it out here!
So what have you liked on the
big screen recently? For those who are writing, how has your NaNo been coming
along?
