The Prestigious Rocky Balboa

Despite the fact that I worked Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday, (as I almost always do,) I still managed to have a lovely weekend. I got off work around 4pm on Saturday and went to go see Chris ... and guess what we did? Coincidentally, despite the fact that I just posted a blog the day before on never seeing movies in theatres because they're too expensive, Chris took me to go see 'The Prestige,' which I thoroughly enjoyed!
It's one of the few movies I've seen this year in addition to 'Ice Age 2,' 'Cars,' and 'Pirates 2' ... (notice how they're mostly "kiddy" movies, LOL.) Anyhow, I highly recommend seeing the movie because it's one of the few good movies I've seen in a long while, and it actually has some unexpected twists in it, which is more than you can say for most movies these days. (Plus, you get to watch 2 pretty magicians for two hours! : P Just kidding! Well, mostly anyway ... )

After the movie, we returned back to Chris' apartment so that I could have the privilege of watching the first installment of "Rocky," (starring Sylvester Stallone, of course!) I had seen bits and pieces of it before, but never the whole thing. Chris made the unfortunate move of showing me "Rocky Part 4" first a couple months ago, which left a bad taste in my mouth. Almost like when you eat onions ... the onions themselves are bad enough, but then they just leave this awful taste in your mouth! And it's like, WHY would I want to eat MORE onions? They're nasty! Well in the same way, I was always like, "WHY would I want to watch more Rocky? He's nasty!" Yeah, kinda like that. All in all, the movie really wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. In fact, it was actually some what enjoyable. : P Chris is quick to point out that, "Rocky was nominated for 10 academy awards and won 3!" He's been babbling about the NEW Rocky movie that's coming out at Christmas for awhile now. He gets this mental glow in his eye as he watches the movie trailer, (yes, I was present at the trailer watching- I saw it for myself!) Hehehe. It's funny. : P

And that was my weekend. Working, going to see Chris, watching movies, and relaxing. Lovely, aint' it?
