Yeah I know Marley and Me is a comedy. I guess I am just not in the mood for a movie with a sad ending or a comedy involving unbearably cute dogs. I thought I would want to see it since I enjoyed the book so much. But after watching a few previews, I really have no interest in the movie anymore. Maybe I will change my mind by the time it comes out on dvd. But I don't think so. I am just anti-Marley and Me for some reason lol.
However I did actually get out to a movie last night, for the first time in about 2 years. I had planned to see Benjamin Button, but at two and a half hours long that was out. By default, mostly because it was starting just after we got to the theatre and was only just over 90 minutes long, I saw The Wrestler. I wasn't expecting much from the movie, mainly because I hadn't heard anything about it beforehand. But the story of a washed up professional wrestler trying desperately to hang on to his long gone glory days and build meaningful relationships for the first time in his adult life was really quite remarkable. And I say that as somebody who can't stand professional wrestling in any shape or form. One of the best movies I have seen in a very long time.
