Domino – Ash wanted to watch something Friday night. He was putting Elliot to bed around 8 and said that when he was done, we’d pick something. I was laying on the couch and felt extremely tired. I set an alarm for 15 minutes so I could wake when bath/bedtime was over. The details are hazy but it was 10:30 when I stumbled into the office and found Ash still patiently waiting. He figured I’d fall back to sleep so he picked Domino thinking I didn’t really want to watch it anyway. He was right. NI; no interest. Except I wasn’t sleepy and I did end up watching it.

The movie was…decent. It was trippy, it was weird.I wasn’t overly fond of Tony Scott’s cinematics. Some scenes with sweeping shots and seizure-inducing light shows were pointless. I liked the overall plotline – since it was based on real life bounty hunter, Domino Harvey – but I’ll be damned if  ever watch another Tony Scott film. Imagine my disappointment when I found out Unstoppable is also directed by him. Sad! (But… but…Chris Pine! I guess I could excuse my dislike of his Scott’s films for this one time.) I can’t say I didn’t enjoy watching this movie but it wasn’t awesome or anything. Keira Knightly kicked much ass and I liked the 90210 thread throughout. Also, her partner and semi-BF Choco was pretty hot.

How To Train Your Dragon – All over the internet I keep seeing people singing the praises of this movie. When we saw the previews a long time ago, we definitely wanted to see it but since we only went to movies every other Friday – and even then, not consistently – we had to be picky about what we saw. So Saturday afternoon we put Isaac down for a nap and the three of us watched. I loved it. It began a little too slowly but gained a lot of momentum. I think I even teared up a little. Maybe at the father/son dynamic; maybe for the boy/dragon dynamic. 🙂 It’s worth a watch, for sure. No matter if you’re a kid or adult. Elliot didn’t exactly sit still for it, which is surprising because he usually does. He even sat through Prince of Persia, which had a lot of talking.
