Movies!

I took the brood to the movies both of the last couple weekends. We have a great theater down the road called the "M89 Cinema". The tickets are reasonable and the consessions are too. Each time I was able to get the group (5 people) tickets, eats and drinks for under $25.

First flick was Ironman. I'm not a big fan of superhero flicks, but I enjoyed this one. It didn't take itself too seriously and was fun. I understand however that it's more of a man movie. The boys enjoyed it and I didn't see anything in there that I wouldn't want the kids to see.

Second flick was Prince Caspian. In short I thought it was short on story and long on big fight scenes. Evil guy takes over castle, good guy should be king and the kids (and Narnians) help him get back. Not much more than that and I got bored. The kids thought it was alright, but my youngest did get scared a couple times. He mentioned later that it was pretty loud in parts.
