Movies Watched in December 2013

1. Beasts of the Southern Wild
2. For a Good Time, Call...

Very pathetic month. I watched Beasts of the Southern Wild while we made pierogis all day. It is streaming on Amazon or Netflix. I forget which one. For a Good Time, Call... was on cable and I watched it streaming via HBO Go. It was a funny, raunchy comedy with a little bit of heart. I liked it. There's some romance, but it's really about the friendship of two women who seemingly have nothing in common except that both need a roommate.

Movies Watched in November 2013

1. This is 40
2. Frozen

Very lackluster movie month (and I have a feeling December will be just as bad). This is 40 was what I expected but mostly because I heard a lot of reviews about it before viewing. I liked it, but it was more of a drama than a comedy. Frozen was adorable. Little Miss had trouble sitting through the entire movie, but she has picked favorite characters and loved the music. I bought her the soundtrack for Christmas, but it did sell out so I’m hoping it arrives before then. If not, I get the free mp3 version which should satisfy her until it arrives.  It amuses me that her favorite character is Elsa, the sister who spends the least amount of time on screen. 

Movies Watched in October 2013

1. Captain Phillips

It was another pathetic movie month this month. I did at least make it to the theater for this one. It was a well done movie, and we got to see it in the theater that has recliners which is always a plus. I highly recommend this viewing pleasure. I like having my feet up only, but you can pretty much fully recline. It’s glorious. The movie was pretty good, too.

Movies Watched in September 2013

1. Hotel Transylvania

It was kind of pathetic this month. I watched Hotel Transylvania on cable one afternoon. It was cute. I don't see any more movies in my October future, but who knows? I blame the return of Fall television.

Movies Watched in August 2013

1. We're the Millers
2. A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas

It was a very light movie month.  Mostly because I binge-watched Breaking Bad until I caught up for the new season.  We're the Millers was in the theater, and it was worth it.  It was really funny and enjoyable.

Movies Watched in July 2013

1. New Girl


2. The Heat


3. Orange is the New Black

Light month in terms of viewing pleasure, but we've been busy!  I started catching up The New Girl on Netflix and started Orange is the New Black.  I'm enjoying both.  I did squeeze in The Heat with friends though.

Movies Watched in June 2013

1. The Great Gatsby
2. Star Trek Into Darkness
3. Dark Shadows
4. Much Ado About Nothing

It looks more impressive than it is, but it's better than last month.  I took Mom to The Great Gatsby for a belated Mother's Day present.  I don't know that it needed to be in 3-D, but it was a visually beautiful movie.  I saw Star Trek for my birthday, and that was a fun action movie with pretty boys.  I'm going to pretend I watched Dark Shadows on HBO, but Brave on Starz made up for it.  It was worth the wait.  Snuck in Much Ado About Nothing on the last day of the month.  It was really good, and I can take or leave Shakespeare.

Movies Watched in May 2013

1. Contagion

Sad movie month. On the last day of the month, I caught Contagion on HBO Go. Meh.

Movies Watched in April 2013

1. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
2. The Five-Year Engagement
3. What to Expect When You're Expecting
4. American Reunion
5. Breaking Bad

I watched many on Netflix or my DVR. I also ran through Season 1 of Breaking Bad on pretty much everyone's recommendation. I liked it. I'm not quite obsessed with it, but I'm social with my television. I like to watch with people and I'm watching this by myself. I'll keep with it to watch the farewell season this Fall though.

Movies Watched in March 2013

1. Argo
2. Magic Mike
3. This Means War
4. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
5. Rock of Ages

Some of these are repeats, but I count everything if I do a full watch. Husband and I rented Argo because he hadn't seen it. I got a free rental of Magic Mike and it seemed a shame to let it go to waste. I suffered through This Is War on HBO Go. I fell in love with The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube. I haven't seen it all yet, but I watched 36 parts out of 100 in one night. Granted, each part is only 3-5 minutes. I got sucked into Rock of Ages on cable one night, too. I wouldn't watch it again, but I felt I had to stick it out.

Movies Watched in February 2013

1. Side Effects

I've been catching up on my DVR so not a lot has been read or watched. In fact, I haven't read a book since New Year's Day which is unheard of in my world. I did go out and see Side Effects last month though. Good film. I saw the twist overall, but it's still entertaining.

Movies Watched in January 2013

1. Lost Girl
2. Lincoln
3. Zero Dark Thirty

It was a slow month. I have been watching Lost Girl on Netflix, a few episodes a night. Not to mention the current season has been filling up my DVR along with the items I usually record. I managed to get to the theater to see Zero Dark Thirty opening weekend, too. That'll probably be all I see before the Oscars with the exception of one or two that I could rent (Beasts of the Southern Wild, Brave, and The Pirates - the last one I have on my DVR actually). I'd like to see Amour or The Impossible, but I don't know if that's going to happen.
