So I go the movies by myself quite often. It's actually one of my favorite things to do. Don't get me wrong- I also love going with friends, family, or Travis- but going alone is so relaxing! It's nice not having to worry if the person you are with isn't enjoying the movie (like when Trav has accompanied me to a chick flick), or if something is happening that could be offensive to them. Nothing is more embarrassing than watching a sex scene with your parents, ya know? ...not that I enjoy it either. Anyway, a couple years ago I just got tired of not always having someone around to see movies with, and of wanting to see the independent type films that no one else I knew was interested in. At first I felt kind of strange about it but after the first time I was hooked. It's the perfect escape for me. I can totally lose myself for 2 hours (sometimes 4) and have uninterrupted me time without thinking or stressing about anything else. It's also much cheaper for me to go because I usually catch the Early-bird special!
That being said, Thursday I went for a solitary double feature and saw Smart People and Nim's Island. Smart People was pretty funny, but I thought Nim's was childish. The actors were good, but the story was weak..definite kids movie. However, I can't really complain since I snuck in and saw it for free after SP. Then Friday I went to see Made of Honor. I thought it was cute but nothing special. Patrick Dempsey was fun to watch though and it was a perfect Friday movie.
