Inception

We did something rare this week and went to the movies. Between
Netflix, Cable and the Library, we don't feel the need to shell out
$8.50 for a matinee very often, but we go about once a month, just
to see movies that have been hyped or are supposed to be very good
and we can't wait to see them at home. We went to see the movie,
Inception. We both thought it was very good and I really enjoyed the
twists and turns. It was also a movie that made you think. In a way,
I'm surprised it's done so well for that very reason. Most folks go to
the movies to escape. They don't want to be challenged or made to
think too much. As a result, the buzz about Inception is that it is
confusing to many. Made perfect sense to me and I'll leave that as
it is without further comment.

Netflix

Yes...even miles and miles away from the middle of
nowhere, you can take advantage of Netflix and
see movies of your choice and not just what is being
shown on TV. For those who do not know what Netflix
is, it's a program where you can order up to three
DVDs at a time and keep them as long as you want.
When done watching them, you send them back and they
send you three more from a list of movies you have
chosen. All this for a low, monthly price. Lynn's
been using it for several months now back home but
I just started this week and received my first three
movies yesterday. The biggest difference between
Lynn's movies and my movies? Hers take about a day
to receive...mine? 10 days. Ugh. Still too much
in the middle of nowhere for my tastes...
