I love going to the movies!
It's one of my all-time favorite things to do which is why I go often.
Especially when it's $5 aka Sundays.
This weekend I was able to see two very good movies that I wanted to share with you!
one. THE HUNGER GAMES
This was a given. I was so excited to see this movie and I thought it was good!
I wasn't really happy that they left out certain things but I understand that was needed to keep the movie at a reasonable length. I thought they picked the right actors to portray the characters but I wished we had seen more of both Gale and Cinna, I didn't think they developed either of these characters as well as they were done in the book. I also wasn't pleased that they completely left out the Mayor's daughter. I thought that was weird. The also changed most of the sponsor gifts, another random switch. With that said it was suspenseful and had me holding my breath even though I knew what was going to happen. I cried like a baby during Rue's final scenes. I don't know why you haven't already seen it but it you haven't go, now! Oh and if you haven't read the books, stop what you are doing and get on the bandwagon, you'll be glad you did.
This picture makes me laugh because Josh Hutcherson is such a baby!
He is only 19 and so short compared to Jennifer and Liam.
two. Friends with Kids
I had seen the previews for this and thought it looked good which is why I agreed to go. It is definitely underrated in the commercials and what little advertising they did, it is SO good. First of all, it has many of the same characters as Bridesmaids: Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Jon Hamm, and Chris O'Dowd (the police officer from Bridesmaids.) Not only was this movie hilarious, but it featured real life situations of people that have children and what they go through. It will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you second guess having children ;) I strongly reccomend you go see this, you will not be disappointed!
Fun fact.. Jennifer Westweldt who plays the main character, wrote and directed the film and has been dating Jon Hamm for the past 14 years.

Happy 23rd Birthday to my BFF Katie!
From silly freshmen to "grownups" I have always been glad to have you in my life.
Hope your day is great and I, of course, wish I could be there to celebrate!

I love to find unusual gifts for my friends and this year I sent Katie a print I found on Etsy.
I thought it was unique and so cute and I think she loved it.

So glad to hear that you liked the "Friends with Kids" movie! My husband has actually been wanting to go (I know...it's weird. He is the one who wants to see the chick-flicks!) but I've been resisting. So now I feel better saying yes!
