1. The Avengers (excellent summer flick)
2. Snow White and the Huntsman (Kristen Stewart didn't annoy me as much as I thought and it was a bit frightening to see Charlize Theron so wicked)
3. Finding a Friend for the End of the World (Steve Carell and Keira Knightley are delightful match)
4. Brave (I'm a fan of cartoons and didn't mind that there was a bear and a mother/daughter theme)
5. Prometheus (not a huge alien lover, but the underlining message made me think)
In addition to movies, I'm a sucker for a good TV series. Since we don't have cable (just one more way to save those precious dollars) we don't get to TiVo and we are not able to roam the channels, but we do have Netflix and although it can be a disappointing selection at times, we have found some jewels. Recently we have finished Downtown Abbey, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad in that order. One of my guilty pleasures is Pretty Little Liars. My husband does not watch this show with me for obvious reasons, so it will probably take me a bit longer to finish it.
Up and coming... The Dark Knight Rises, July 20th. We entertained the idea of going to the midnight showing, but more than likely the shows have been sold out for at least a month now, so we will have to wait with the other suckers who didn't purchase tickets early. Even though I am not thrilled about Anne Hathaway playing Cat Woman (why do Cat Woman yet again? Halle Berry wasn't successful at creating her own full length verison and she is pretty hot, and who says Anne's portrayal will be any better than Michelle Pfeiffer's?), I am still excited about the film. Christian Bale is one of my faves even if he can go a little crazy off camera.
