After all of the chaos of the last couple of weeks, I decided this past weekend would be a good time to do some things that Nate wanted to do - namely go see a couple of movies. Now, he has this habit of declaring every movie that he sees "The best movie I have ever seen". This was put to the test with a showing of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' on Friday night and a Saturday matinee of 'The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3D'. (It should be a clue as to where my priorities lie when I am willing to pay full price AND go see 'Charlie' on opening day while only grudgingly going to a matinee at the only theatre in town still showing 'Shark Boy'.)
After seeing 'Charlie', I got the typical "Great!" response, which is what I would hope for after a movie with an 84% freshness rating. However, I was a bit surprised at the overwhelming enthusiasm for the crap that was 'Shark Boy' - whose 17% rotten rating is soundly deserved.
Blech. Next time I go see 'Charlie' I will go see it with my best friend and leave the kiddo at home.
