Ok, so I saw two movies this weekend while I was home, The Dark Knight & Mamma Mia. The Dark Knight was, well.....DARK! The whole time I was anxious, nervous and just wanted the darn thing to end. Two and a half hours was way too long to find out that Batman was turning himself in as the villain to be the ultimate hero in the end, or whatever. I know, right? Doesn't make sense to me either, but appareantly it is the premise of the ENTIRE film. I will give props to my Heath, though. He did an incredible job, so much so that I forgot the Joker was him half an hour into the movie. It was definitely a plus because his character was sick, twisted, demented and had me searching under my bed and in my closet before I could rest my head (somewhat) peacefully on my pink pillow. To me, paying $10 for a movie and checking my cell phone every 20 minutes for it to be over, is not my cup of tea.
Luckily, my movie-going experience was restored ten-fold when I saw Mamma Mia this afternoon with my mom. It was incredible! The music, choreograpy, & costumes.....I could go on and on forever. I strongly encourage all of you to see it. The entire theatre was dancing a little in their seats. It really made me just want to pack up August 9th and go back to Greece and find my Manos!!!! I have hope I will meet him in New York, though and then we can set sail into the sunset and live on Skopelos in a white house with bright, royal-blue shutters. (I'll keep y'all posted on that....)
