Films

My Mother-in-Law is visiting, so my wife and I got to go the cinema last night.

A quick rant! Why do cinemas insist on playing films at about 19:30 and 21:30? Very little starts between those times. 19:30 is an impossibility for us, and 21:30 is really a bit late.

We ended up seeing (and what a poor choice of films there is at the minute) 'The Spiderwick Chronicles'. A film, admittedly, for children. It was, however, good fun, and reasonably scary in parts. Given the PG rating, it was surprising to see children in peril, legs getting bitten, and some out of left field shocks that make you jump. It was nice to get out of the house and do something a bit different.

We rarely get to watch a film these days. By the time little one is finally asleep, and we've cooked any of the time critical ingredients for dinner, sat down, and started to eat, the most we can usually manage is an episode of a TV program. I get entire series of programs, either on DVD, or saved on the Sky+, and we work through them. Torchwood at the moment, Heroes before that. The chance to watch a whole movie is rare. The last time we tried was with 'Ratatouillie', and that ended up taking us 3 nights to watch!

Even more of a luxury, we are off to lunch tomorrow. Just the 2 of us. Looking forward to it!
