One of the things that was really fun about just being the four of us while the girls were in Highlands is that we got to watch a lot of movies that Kath and I had never seen before. All in all I think we watched about seven movies that were new to us. We borrowed The Holiday and Flash Gordon from Uncle Josh and Aunt Carolyn and Mom bought Rush Hour from Wally World. I'd have to say The Holiday was my favorite out of the three, but Flash Gordon is a close second just by virtue of the fact that it is the cheesiest, best 80's movies ever. We also watched Spies Like Us, (an 80's comedy with Chevy Chase,) and needless to say it was equally amusing and ridiculous.
On Sunday we all slept in as late as we wanted to, and then stumbled out of bed to go see Terminator Salvation. It was pretty good. Fairly dark, but that's kind of a requirement for those end-of-the-world type movies. It had some really cool action sequences and stuff like that, but not as much plot as I would generally like. Still, I enjoyed it. There were so many startle moments! I think I must have jolted out of my seat half a dozen times. Haha.
It was around 4:00 when we got home and we started fixing dinner. Oh my gosh it was amazing! We had homemade guacamole and queso with tortilla chips for an appetizer while we worked on fixing baked potatoes and stuffed mushrooms with garlic, cheese, and cream cheese. Then Dad fired up the grill and made steak while Mom assembled a salad with bell pepper, tomato, and feta. What a meal! Once it was all prepared we watched Taken for the first time in the Great Room with our feast. It was so good!
And the movie was awesome too. Admittedly, it freaked me out quite a bit since the storyline is horrifically realistic and not some futuristic fantasy, but it was still really good. The Dad searching for his seventeen year old daughter did not spare anyone in his efforts. Major bad guy booty whoopin' occurred on a regular basis. Gotta love it.
So yeah, I definitely enjoyed getting to watch so many movies. =D
