Fred and I saw TWO movies in the last two days.
We saw Zombieland on Friday but Fred, knowing that it is not my type of movie, all of the blood and gore, promised that we could see The Informant the next day. They both had good ratings on SmashedTomatoes. That is the site we always go to to check out how a movie is rated. We were only once severely disappointed with it's rating system. It (as a drawing together of lots of ratings from both critics and regular movie goers) said Burn After Reading was so great and we hated it. I actually came as close to leaving mid movie as I ever have. I remember saying to Fred. "I'm bored, this is stupid, do you want to go now?" Right in the middle of the movie.
Zombieland was actually really good. Funny and touching, and appropriately gross, zombie people were eating each other of course. But, all in all, quite entertaining and a fun premise. What would you do if the only people left were zombies and everyone that was human now is not, except for a couple people. Hmmmmm.
The Informant on the other hand was not that entertaining at all. I asked Fred at the end "Wasn't this a comedy?" Because I think it was supposed to be, yet it was not. The music was the best part, bringing levity to a serious subject matter. It was mildly good, but on the long side and even the surprise ending was not all that interesting. I didn't really care anymore.
Tomorrow we plan on going to Oktoberfest in San Francisco, after church.
They were giving a special on Sunday, tickets were 2 for the price of one, which at 30 dollars, we couldn't resist. It was interesting though, how sneaky they were. When you went to purchase the tickets at the web site, they said, 30 dollars for one. So when we bought the one ticket for 30 dollars it printed out two tickets with values of 15 dollars each. So this is one time when two for one is not the same as 1/2 price. If you are the only person going, you are still stuck paying 30 dollars, for two 15 dollar tickets and either need to find a friend, or the deal is not for you.
It should be fun and anyways better than The Informant.

And the two for one ticket thing, yes sneaky and underhanded! lol, ive heard those two words put together somewhere... ;-) They should have mentioned that on the site!
