Some in the theater and some on DVD.
Here's what I've seen...
The Diary of A Wimpy Kid
it was funny and cute. laugh out loud funny. Of course, my son T loves these books and I have had the privilege of reading them as well and I think both the movie and the books are great.
Alice in Wonderland (in IMAX 3D)
Okay, so I'm in the minority when I say I am not a Johnny Depp obsessed fan. He's okay, but I'm not what you would call a fan. But, this movie was awesome! Very dark and crazy - very Lewis Carroll - and I enjoyed it very much. The gal who played Alice was beyond perfect for the part. No, I did not take my 9 year old. I had fair warning that it was a bit dark and so I thought I'd preview it and I'm glad I did. Nope, he won't be seeing it.
How to Train Your Dragon (in 3D)
How could you not like this movie!? It was soooo cute. Both my almost 16 year old and my 9 year olds LOVED it. A definite family movie.
The Blind Slide
Okay, I was afraid to see this movie. I cry at the commercials for this movie. This movie was awesome and amazing. A new favorite for me. Sandra Bullock was wonderful wonderful. LOVED LOVED this film and everyone in it. I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me. (okay, that's a line I use - sorry). But, if you haven't seen it, do!!
The Time Traveler's Wife
Based on one of my very favorite books of all time. I really didn't know how they'd pull this off on the screen, but they did a great job. Of course, the book was much much better, but the movie was great. I even loved their house in it. Having it set in my city of Chicago was just icing on the cake.
Up in the Air
Okay, I heard bad things about this movie, but I enjoyed it. George Clooney is YUMMY. A couple of twists I didn't expect, and the ending wasn't my favorite, but I think it fit the movie.
I'm reading House Rules by Jodi Picoult. Goodness it's a great book. But, I pretty much love everything about her writing so I'm not surprised.
P.S. My daughter and I are both on a mission to get a photo of the creeper family's plastic flower display...
but we have to be sneaky....very sneaky!

LOVED Diary of a Wimpy Kid...saw it with Elijah and we are still laughing over the great one-liners! For some reason, one of our favorites was when his big brother was telling them about the devil worshippers and said in a very scary voice: "and then they planted TREES!". Struck us funny...
Loved Alice, too. Haven't seen Dragon. still waiting on House Rules. Reading The Last Child; well-written but very disturbing. We will discuss.
i didn't get through The Time Travelers Wife book. Too hard to read for me and I love to read. But I enjoyed the movie. loved The Blind Side and Up in the Air. I just read House Rules - loved it.
