Unknown & The Adjustment Bureau

The past two weekends Mr. D and I have hit the movie theater jackpot!  We've seen two great movies two weekends in a row.  We used to see movies ALL.THE.TIME. the first couple of years we dated...but these last couple of years together we've noticed we never go to movies any more.  We've decided to change this, and lucky for us a movie date fits our budget a whole lot better than an evening spent downtown or at a pricey restaurant.

So we're back at the movies and lately we've had great luck with our choices.  I think party of the reason we stopped seeing so many movies in theater was because we could never agree on a choice.  Naturally, I love a good romantic comedy and those aren't all Mr. D wants to see.  There have been so many movies recently that really appeal to both of us so we've been thankful not to have to do the "you pick, then I pick" kinda deal. 

The weekend before last we went to see Unknown.

We caught this one at the Movie Tavern.  Do y'all have a Movie Tavern in your area?  Oh how I love that place!  The food is delish, Mr. D can have a "cold snack" (aka beer) and we can enjoy our movie in the comfort of a tall back office chair on wheels.  :)

Unknown was a great movie and we both loved it.  First, Liam Neeson is just a baller and if you don't like him then you should probably see a Doctor because there may be something wrong with you.  Also, two of my most favorite Hollywood ladies were both in this film as well.  It seems I can never get enough of both January Jones and Diane Kruger. (National Treasure, anyone?  I love that movie.  Both I and II.) 

Unknown: Two thumbs up from both Mr. & Mrs. D!  Go see this one in theaters! 

This past Saturday we went to see The Adjustment Bureau. 

The Adjustment Bureau was also great and we both had nothing but good things to say.  I've pretty much had a crush on Matt Damon ever since Good Will Hunting so I love when he's in a new flick.  I'm also a Mad Men junkie so I'm a big fan of John Slattery (remember when he was Carrie's politician boyfriend on Sex and the City?) and Emily Blunt is pretty cute too.  Another all star cast and another fabulous movie.  I liked this one a lot because I thought it was different than the typical movie and I was very intrigued by the story line.  When I'm running late and then get stuck in traffic or those few occasions when I've missed a flight, I often wonder if these little annoyances were more like miracles and a time my guardian angel was watching out for me.  Do y'all ever think about stuff like that? 

The Adjustment Bureau: Two thumbs up from both Mr. & Mrs. D!  Go see this one in theaters! 


I really loved both of these movies and I hope y'all do too!

Mrs. D
