M was able to get some discounted movie ticket vouchers from his employer to use at any movie. Hmmm.... choices, choices. We decided to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, and we loved it!
Funny side note, if you're not into crowds, try going to a movie on a Sunday afternoon. There were about 15 people in the entire theater and we were the youngest ones there.
This was one of our more expensive dates, since we had to get a babysitter. We joke that we do dinner and a movie - dinner for the babysitter and the movie for us. We don't have a whole lot of teenager approved food at our house, so we get some form of takeout for her when she's here as part of her babysitting deal.
Mockingjay Part 2 received average reviews from the critics, but I loved it. You can't have a series without wrapping up all the loose ends, and that's what Part 2 is about. (Not) shockingly enough, my favorite part of the whole movie is that last few minutes, where Katniss finally gets her happy ending. I've been waiting 4 movies for closure and finally... bittersweet, yes. But closure all the same
You can read the synopsis and watch the trailer here.
We've come through an entire year of Project Date Night and I feel it's been a success. I hope our dates this year have in some small way been an inspiration to you and your relationships.
I'm glad y'all enjoyed it. Though I've read the books, I haven't gotten past the first movie. Maybe now that they're all out, I'll catch up one of these days.
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd-4th movies have a different director and different film style, so you would probably like them better than the first. Watching them at home on the small screen where you could control the sound may help, too.
