Goal #30: Go to the midnight premiere of a movie

Woot! Woot! Alex, Shannon and I all crossed this puppy off our lists with the midnight premiere of... Breaking Dawn 2! Yes, yes... for those of you who don't know yet, I am, in fact, a Twilight fan. All judgement aside, these movies are great movies, period. And this last one was EPIC. I honestly loved it and was so happy I held out for this movie for my goal. It was so stupid-good!

The action from right to left: 

We have all arrived! Shannon first, Alex second with blankets and warm gear, myself last bearing gifts of Chipotle (and seriously worried I was going to get mauled by Twilight fans over yummy goodness). Thankfully no one jumped me for my veggie bowl!

Then it started to (california)rain and we were not happy (Alex especially).

Moments later we were whisked into the theatre, snagged some seriously awesome seats and waiting patiently-and awake! thanks to some Starby's double shot cans-for our movie to begin!

Post-Flick Photo! Seriously happy over how the movie turned out, lets watch it again!

Goal #2: See a drive-in movie

Holy late post, blurry family photos and unflattering pictures! Real or not real? Real!

*of course my sis always looks adorbs*

But for real! Crossed this baby off back in April-ish when 21 Jump Street was making it's way out of the big screen.

This was so much fun! I seriously want to make drive-in movies apart of my go-to weekend plans, especially now that I have the convertible.

Thanks Shannon for the photogs!

Goal #100: Go on a double date (Me, Danny, Alex & David)

This goal used to say, "Go to Disneyland (Me, Danny, Alex & David), but with ticket prices increasing and money-to-spend decreasing, we decided to revise this to a simple double date. One spontaneous Sunday I convinced this pack of awesome friends to go see Hunger Games, then my sister suggested we snag some dinner beforehand and the next thing ya know it, we realized we just planned the best DZP-double-date eva!

Never short of awesome attempts to document DZP fun.

Shout out to my sister for getting me hooked on the Hunger Games. That was the best series of non-chick-lit books I've ever read. As many of you avid-Hunger Game-readers may agree, the movie simply did not meet my expectations. *sad face* The whole movie felt rushed and underacted. I didn't feel the raw desperation that I felt so clearly throughout the books. That intense need to survive was completely lost in my opinion. I hope the rest of the movies are significantly better. I look forward to finding out.

I Heart Seniors

These two are beyond adorable. Not only does it make me giggle thinking of my own grandparents, what I have to say most is: may the Lord bless me with a hubby as sweet as this man when we grow old together. Enjoy:

Recreating, Movie Must-See: Up

Just in case you didn't believe me, I've got back up:

Hump Day Fave: Emma Stone & Easy A

I love Emma Stone, as well as her new character in Easy A.  This clip keeps me laughing up until I finally get the song out of my head!

Musica: You Got Me, by Colbie Caillat

Is it bad that while watching the intro of Letters to Juliet, I was more interested in this song rather than the movie?  I literally restarted the movie, turned it up a few notches and shazamed it!

Oh, and this is definitely a Movie Must-See rental with the girls.  I'm not sure which part I liked the most: enjoying the scenic routes throughout Italy, drooling over the many accents or getting caught up in the usual romantic story line.

Hump Day Fave: Sex & The City 2 Fashion

Being the Sex and the City fan that I am, I made a point of doing a ladies night first thing after work Friday night to see the new SATC 2 flick.  Why it has gotten bad reviews is beyond me.  I have seen every episode, read the books and have followed the series 100% through - and I loved it!  I especially loved some of the fashion choices, which were daring, envelope-pushing, and extravagant, as they should be.  Here are some faves...

Movie Must-See: Eat, Pray, Love

I have owned this book for too many years, and for some reason I have been completely unable to get through the first section.  This is no criticism to the book/writer/what-have-you in any way, I simply feel as though I have some mental block that has kept me from becoming invested in the story.
Madalyn on the other hand, loved it!  She got through the entire thing, was moved and has been trying to convince me to attempt to read it again for months now.  At some point I finally said, Stop, I'm just going to see the movie and call it a day! 
After seeing this trailer, I'm standing by my position.  Julia Roberts has been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl, and every movie of hers is on my must-see list - which includes this one!  So Madalyn, while (at this moment in time) I will not attempt to read the book.... I will go see this with you!! *cheeeese smile*

Movie Must-See: Sex and the City 2

Movie Must-See: Date Night

Can anyone guess my favorite part?

Yep, by all means it is definitely Marky Mark.... umm hello!!!

My Weekend Movies at a Glance

Instead of watching the Super Bowl this year (I know, a total sin) my man and I watched some movies while eating my yummy M&E's Guacamole. Here's a rundown...

Law Abiding Citizen, with the amazing Gerard Butler. I really really liked this movie. It had a different twist from the regular cops and bad guy murderer type of movies. There was intellect and it definitely received 2 thumbs up from me.Zombieland, a movie I never thought I'd actually watch - but when I did I was genuinely laughing throughout the movie. The nasty zombies definitely had me covering my eyes to stop me from gagging but overall - a pretty decent movie.Whip it, definitely have been waiting to see this one for a while now. I'm a 100% fan of Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page - and together I think they made a great movie. I think I might buy it.

Movie Must-See: Dear John

The fact that the trailer can bring tears to my eyes means that this is an absolute movie must-see. Not to mention every single time I've seen it I think, goodness, I need to see this amazingly romantic tear-jerker!

*Updated with YouTube trailer...

Movie Must-See: Leap Year

Fact #1: I love movies.
Fact #2: I can't remember the last time I watched a movie at the movie theaters.
With that said, I still love movies. And therefore I still look forward to them coming out, on DVD of course. But this one I might end up dragging my man out to see.
I love Amy Adams. I love Irish accents. I love proposals. I love romantic comedies. Therefore I can already tell, I love this movie.
