Movie Weekend

Okay, so there seems to be a trend developing. About every five weeks or so, date night consists of a movie marathon (mainly because we don't want to leave the house). This weekend happened to be one of those weekends. We still managed to be a little productive, but we both needed a total veg weekend to regenerate the batteries. I got a haircut Saturday morning while Chris cleaned the garage. We went to the gym, did some laundry, then the nothingness commenced. We watched four movies Saturday: Sinister (7 out of 10 stars), Argo (7 out of 10), Open Range (7 out of 10), and Celeste and Jesse (6 out of 10). Sunday, we watched The Man With the Iron Fists (6 out of 10, but the epitome of a Quentin Tarantino film), followed by A Haunting in Connecticut 2: Georgia Ghosts (5 out of 10). They were all at least decent films. Argo wasn't overly entertaining, but still a good historical film. Celeste and Jesse was something of a surprise: we didn't like the ending, but it was entertaining, funny and charming. I consider myself a horror film snob (i.e. completely desensitized), and Sinister managed to be disturbing, scary and compelling. Open Range was a standard Western with a modern twist, and the acting was very good. Lots of wine during the marathon Saturday made Sunday morning a little fuzzy, but again, it was all much needed!
