| Cellphone picture of the opening of Planes this evening at 7 PM |
Lulu and I had an early supper then we went to the movies to see the 5:20 show - We're the Millers. It is a movie about a family using a motor home to smuggle marijuana from Mexico. With the previews - the movie did not start until 5:40.
After that - we were still awake - we had our second wind - so we went to see the Disney feature - Planes. I loved Pixar's Cars series and I did like this film - but I think it will have a hard time holding young kids' attention even for only 90 minutes. The planes are authentic but most of the references will fly right over even middle schoolers' heads.
Planes was filmed in 3D and I honestly can say - even with only one eye - I enjoyed the 3D effects. It wasn't necessary to wear 3D glasses.
Disney originally was not going to release this movie in theaters - it was planned to go right to DVD. I guess - the desire to sell lots of toys - video games - clothes - etc - was too much of an attraction to the Disney Studios. It looks like it will be easily adaptable to video games.
There were only about 10 people there at 5:20 to see We're the Millers. Maybe 25 were there at 7 PM for Planes. The film did not hold the attention of the little kids - but pop corn - candy - and ice cream did.
Someone had given us a gift card for the movies so it was a free night out. The senior discount made the price $6.50 a head. All of this followed a 4:30 supper of ribs - corn on the cob - and watermelon -prepared by Lulu. This is the life on the Southside.
