Movies Watched in December 2012

1. What's Your Number?
2. Captain America: The First Avenger
3. Les Miserables
4. Pitch Perfect
5. New Year's Eve

It was a slow month. I caught a few streaming. Then, we caught a break and got to see an early screening of Les Mis which was a nice Girls' Night Out before Christmas. During Christmas, I caught the flu so I watched the last two while recovering.

Movies Watched in November 2012

1. Argo
2. Katy Perry
3. Quantum of Solace
4. Skyfall
5. Silver Linings Playbook

This month started slow. I saw Argo which I loved. Then, I rented the Katy Perry movie for Little Miss. I fast forwarded through much of it. It’s not that it was totally inappropriate, but she’s just interested in her personal life. She only wanted to hear her favorite songs which opened and closed the movie so it worked out. I rented Quantum of Solace on Instant Play so I could catch up before Skyfall and just squeezed in Silver Linings Playbook last weekend. Good solid films this month.

Movies Watched in October 2012

1. Battlestar Gallatica
2. The Avengers

The new tv season always slows my DVD/streaming viewing. This month was no exception. Also, I’ve just been busy with various things. I’m kind of getting into BSG and can see why so many enjoy it. I haven’t made it through the miniseries yet, but I look forward to jumping into the tv show portion. I had no doubt that I would enjoy The Avengers, and it did not disappoint. I would like to see the sequel in the theater, but I said that about this one. Sometimes, things just don’t work out.

Movies Watched in September 2012

1. Finding Nemo
2. Scandal

I saw next to nothing this month - again. The kid and I did go see Finding Nemo 3D. We actually watched it on DVD first to see if she’d like it. Then, we saw it on the big screen the next day. She napped a bit, but she liked it. It’s such a colorful movie. I think she prefers the musicals, but there aren’t as many. So far, The Lorax is the only movie which kept her attention and awake the entire time, but she does like going to the theater. It’s a nice escape for me, too. I have only seen the beginning of Scandal. If I ever complete Season 1, I did record Season 2 on the DVR so I can continue watching if I get hooked.

Movies Watched in August 2012

1. Into the Woods

I saw next to nothing this month. However, I’ve watched 2 seasons of Parks and Recreation this month so that explains it. I’ve also been rewatching stuff on Netflix or on my DVR. Also, 2 weeks of last month, I was on vacation so there just wasn’t opportunity to see much.

Movies Watched in July 2012

1. Ted
2. The Amazong Spider-Man
3. Homeland
4. Magic Mike
5. The Decoy Bride
6. The Dark Knight Rises

I saw more movies than usual this month in the theater. It helps that there was a holiday in there and also movies I wanted to see. I also finally got Husband to watch Homeland which was a big hit in the household. I believe he stole the show from me and officially likes it more than I do. Last, I watched The Decoy Bride on Netflix Instant Play. It was a really cute little British movie.

Movies Watched in June 2012

1. We Bought a Zoo
2. Mr. Popper's Penguins
3. Glee: The 3D Concert Movie
4. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
5. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
7. Horrible Bosses

That looks busier than it was. I saw the first 3 in 2 nights on cable and DVD. I saw the next two in the theaters over one weekend. Little Miss slept through a bit of Madagascar, but she enjoyed it overall. I only started Buffy. I've seen many episodes, but I've never seen it from the beginning. The less said about Horrible Bosses, the better. We'll see about next month. I've had a DVD at home so long, I may just return it and start over. There's just no interest in seeing it now that it's sitting on the table.

Sexy Friday

I was shocked to see Ryan Gosling has never been a recipient of Sexy Friday. He's never done too much for me, but then he took his shirt off in Crazy, Stupid, Love.. So, now he's on the radar, but he's still not at the point where I'd watch a movie just for him. That said, Crazy, Stupid, Love. is on cable right now, and I watch it quite a bit especially from that one scene forward.

Movies Watched in May 2012

1. The Change-Up
2. Life As We Know It

Slow month. I am still watching Parks and Recreation on Netflix Instant Play. I did continue to watch Sherlock as series 2 started (and ended) on PBS. However, as for new movies, kind of a piddly little month. The less said about May’s viewing, the better.

Movies Watched in April 2012

1. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
2. Young Adult
3. Parks and Recreation
4. X-Men: First Class
5. Monte Carlo
javascript:void(0);
6. Martha Marcy May Marlene
7. The Lucky One

This month, I got my money's worth out of Netflix. I caught Young Adult and Martha Marcy May Marlene on DVD. I watched Parks and Recreation on Instant Play. I recorded X-Men and Monty Carlo off of cable (though Netflix also sent me X-Men the same day I watched it because of poor queue management on my part). Then, due to a vodka-induced haze, I agreed to see The Lucky One in the theater. I really liked Martha Marcy May Marlene. I thought the suspense was subtle but well done and it stayed with me though I can see how a more traditional moviegoer would be frustrated with the ending. Otherwise, a moderate month - no stand outs but no giant wastes of time.  Oh, if I happen to watch more before Monday, the official end of the month, I'll come back and edit (for instance, I started watching Take Me Home Tonight but never finished and am expecting a new DVD in the mail but not sure what it will be).

Movies Watched in March 2012

1. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
2. Friends with Kids
3. Beginners
4. The Hunger Games"
5. Mad Men
6. Sherlock
7. Luther

Let's see. This month, I saw The Lorax with Little Miss in the theater, and she really enjoyed it. I saw Friends with Kids and The Hunger Games with a friend. I rented Beginners on DVD. Husband and I did a full rewatch of Seasons 1-4 of Mad Men before the Season 5 premiere. Sherlock and Luther continues my British tv viewing. After finishing Doctor Who, I needed more. So, I watched the very few available Sherlock episodes available on Netflix Instant Play and have started watching Luther. I'm enjoying both, but both are a bit dark. Bit month for me and especially big because I managed to read a lot as well.

Movies Watched in February 2012

1. The Artist
2. Torchwood
3. 50/50

I finished Doctor Who - well, the seasons available streaming. I have Season 6 coming soon by DVD. So, I started the spin-off, Torchwood. I saw The Artist in the theater, but I didn't have enough time to watch any more of the Academy Award nominated films before the award ceremony. 50/50 was a DVD rental which I enjoyed.

Movies Watched in January 2012

1. Doctor Who
2. Beastly
3. Beauty and the Beast 3-D
4. Adele Live at the Royal Albert Hall
5. Last Play at Shea

Let’s see. I’ve been watching Doctor Who on Netflix Instant Play obsessively. I’m just shy of finishing 2 seasons in a little over 2 weeks. I rented Beastly and Last Play at Shea. I saw Beauty and the Beast in the theater. I got Adele Live at the Royal Albert Hall for Christmas and popped in the DVD. I also snuck in an episode of Mad Men, but I’m not counting a random rewatch of an episode. When we do the full rewatch of last season, I’ll mention it.
