Drive-In's, Burritos, Popcorn and The Blind Side

Saturday was a date day (YAY!!), not only did I get an afternoon movie date to Hot Tub Time Machine (see previous post for review) but I also got to see a movie at the Drive-In theater!
The Blind Side just came out this week on DVD but seeing it a second time at the Drive In theater was fantastic.
From the fried burrito to the over-buttered popcorn everything at the drive in is a little white trash and a little bit awesome!
The movie is a must see, from Oscar-winning Sandra Bullock to a quiet supporting role by Tim McGraw, they are both great. The first time we saw this movie I did want to cry, not this time...I just enjoyed the great movie that it is. See the movie!
The 112 Drive In in Fayetteville is one of a few great survivors. Showing a double feature for just $12 per car, you just can't get cheaper entertainment. Throw your cooler with goodies in the car to save even more, but please please please buy something at the concession stand because you hate to see a gem like this shut down due to lack of revenue. It's probably not necessary to spend an additional $17 in the concession stand like we did. But, it was worth it!

Hot Tub Time Machine, Release Date 3/26, Diva Screen Date 3/27

Finally, a John Cusack movie produced post-1989 that I will watch again and again! The fact that he is a producer on this goes to show that he hasn't lost his sense of humor and he still does it best when it is self-deprecating.

The movie was so funny there were times I thought Dave would actually fall right out of his movie seat. Although there were a few times that you could predict what was coming but it didn't matter, it was hilarious.

What made this movie even better to me were the great throwback scenes and lines from classic 80's movies like Sixteen Candles, Karate Kid, Back to the Future, and some even came from one of my favorite Cusack movies, Better Off Dead. I was actually hoping for the paperboy to show up at some point yelling, "I want my two dollars".

If you were in high school or college in the late 80's, have an appreciation for the crazy fashion, fun music, and gut-busting comedies from that decade then this throw-back movie is a must see.

Cop Out, Release Date 2/26/20, Diva Screen Date 3/6/10

It is what it is and it just happens to be a fun movie. Ratings on-line weren't great, but I wasn't looking for Oscar-worthy, I wanted to laugh and have a good couple of hours of escapism.

Bruce Willis was a great sarcastic lead. Tracy Morgan totally overacted it, but do we ever expect him to be subtle? Probably not. I loved seeing Kevin Pollak in this, he's kind of disappeared from anything I've seen lately.

That's it, short but sweet because the Oscars are coming on!
