February Movie Log

We didn't watch that many movies last month, which to me is surprising considering we saw a record amount in January. Ryan had a busy month at work so many nights he was playing catch up and did not have time to watch a movie. Oh well, it was a short month anyway, right? So, here is what we did watch:

  1. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (It was so sad to watch the final movie of this trilogy. I enjoyed watching them so much and it was hard to bring it to close. These movies had such great story lines and were very well done. Maybe in a couple years we'll be ready to see them again. Go Frodo!!)
  2. Invinceable (We watched this with my parents while they were here for their weekend visit. It was good! Based on a true story and done well. I totally recommend this one.)
  3. An Inconvienent Truth (Documentary-type film by Al Gore about our current and growing crisis of global warming. Very interesting and thought provoking.)
  4. Ice Age (Our most recent family movie night movie. I just love hearing the kids laugh at funny parts, it's the best!)
  5. Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles (Chinese film about a Japanese man who decides to finish his son's last work by traveling to China to video a certain man performing a mask opera. It was interesting. Actually, the subtitles/translation was the most entertaining. It was funny to see typos and wrong words used! Ryan also says that the film is most likely propaganda to show China as being kind toward Japan, and I think he's right. Anyway, it was a good story. I would recommend it.)
See, I told you our movie watching was down this month! Let's see, this month is a toss up for my favorite. I did enjoy the final Lord of the Rings, but since I had seen it before I'll go with Invinceable as my favorite (sorry Al!).

Your review was way too kind to Al & his global warming THEORY propoganda. But I agree Invincable was one of my recent fav's as well.

I too liked Invincible. I haven't seen the Al Gore one, probably won't either.

We like Ice Age, too. We saw two fun movies lately - The Terminal and Catch Me if You Can.
