Movie Theater Marathon

You guys. I have been so excited to post about this.

Every year, my mom and I say we want to watch every movie nominated for Best Picture at the Oscar's. Every year comes and goes, and we are lucky if we have seen one of the movies. Pathetic. This year, we decided it was they year! So, a few weekends ago, I went home for the weekend and my parents had the whole weekend planned.

We had an itinerary. Every minute by minute planned. 3 movies the first day in Lawton and Wichita Falls. 4 movies the second day in Oklahoma City and Lawton. Popcorn, pickles, candy, and lots of diet coke added to the mix made for one of the BEST weekends I have ever had. Here is the recap:

We started the weekend off with Ides of March on Pay Per View. I really liked it! I mean, I could have done without the cussing every other word, but I still enjoyed it.

Then, we packed up and headed to Wichita Falls to see Iron Lady. The movie wasn't my favorite in the world, but the story was super interesting and Meryl Streep was excellent.

When we got home, my dad and I stayed up and watched Moneyball. It was a little slow, but the movie, overall, was pretty good. I can get on board with any movie with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. (Also, it was so late, we forgot to take a picture)

The next morning, my mom and I woke up early and went to OKC to see Descendants. It was definitely my favorite movie of the weekend. It was very sweet, but funny and George Clooney was surprisingly great in it. I would definitely see it again.

The next movie was The Artist. The fact that my mom and I saw a silent movie was just hysterical. The movie was actually really good. Great, actually. I really enjoyed it and could easily follow the storyline. Definitely a good pick.

Even though this movie isn't nominated for an Oscar (although, they should really reconsider..) we squeezed in time to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D. This is seriously one of my favorite Disney movies ever!! And it was even better in 3D. Loved it.

To end our movie marathon, we saw Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I LOVE TOM HANKS. And if someone could have told me he was in the move for about 53 seconds, I wouldn't have had to waste my time seeing it. Not my fav. By far.

THAT'S IT! 7 movies in 2 days. That has to be some kind of record. I can definitely cross movie theater marathon off my bucket list. And my dad even won me a little blue teddy bear from one of the claw machines. Such a perfect keepsake.

Now, I still have 3 movies to see to see all the Best Picture nominated movies! Stay tuned...
