4.3.10 - How to Train Your Dragon

For date night this week, Jack and I were going to see "Liam Neeson And The Kraken" (some of you may know this by the less awesome name "Clash of the Titans.") While talking about it, we realized the last 2-3 movies we've gone to see in theater over the last several months have all pretty much sucked, and so we came up with the novel idea of checking the movie reviews before going to the theater. I'm glad we did, because Rotten Tomatoes gave "Liam" a sad 30%. In fact, Rotten Tomatoes gave most of the movies available at our favorite theater pretty low ratings. Alice In Wonderland hovered at a whopping 52%--not exactly compelling, for the prices they charge. Then we saw that "How To Train Your Dragon"--which I had never even heard of--got 98%. Jack kind of grumbled that it's a kids movie, until we realized the last movie we saw in theaters that we truly enjoyed was "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs." That settled it.

So we went to see "How To Train Your Dragon" and it was great. Also, it was the first movie either Jack or I saw in 3D, which was great as well. Jack kept exclaiming and waving his hand in front of his face at all the 3D previews. Ha. By the way, all of the preview 3D movies also looked great. 

In other news, I got an A on one of my midterms (after the curve, but still).
