I don’t really have any complaints about the latest movies I have seen. That may be a first. Of course, it helps that I am only seeing movies in the theater at the moment, which tend to be only ones I REALLY want to see and that I REALLY think are going to be worth the ticket price. My Netflix queue is only full of Buffy. HA. I said it. I am on a mission to get through the entire series. I am at the very end of season 5 now. It helps that I am watching it on dvd and not having to wait week-by-week for a new episode.

Anyway…movies.

The Bourne Ultimatum - Jenny and I saw it this past weekend. I really wish I had watched Supremacy again before we went, as I did not realize it literally continued from the last time you see him limping through the snow in Russia. I was thoroughly impressed with this one. Not the standard let-down when you see the third installment of a trilogy. The action was fast and woven into the plot very well. It also wrapped up the story quite nicely. I still need to go home and watch the first two again. Just to remind myself of the small details I am not remembering. I know Matt Damon keeps saying he won’t do another one, but I am holding on to a tiny sliver of hope that he changes his mind! Jenny is also a bit spastic to watch movies with. Haha. She REALLY gets into it. There was gasping, hand waving, etc happening in the seat next to me. It was hilarious.

Harry Potter - As if this one was not going to be good, right?? All the Harry Potter movies are high quality and very entertaining. I really liked this one much better than Goblet of Fire. That one veered a little too much away from the book in a couple of key areas for me to like it that much. I just kept thinking about the ways that it was different, as opposed to just watching and enjoying. Order of the Phoenix delivered, though. The main action scene at the end was very well done. It helps that I saw it in iMAX 3D, I am sure. The best thing about these movies is that you can watch them without reading the books. Marilyn even enjoyed it…although she has not even seen all the movies, so I am not sure she REALLY knew what was going on. Haha.

I do have pictures from the company boat/cruise/Kemah thing this weekend. I am just being lazy about posting them! Hope everyone had a good weekend!
