Film Diary June 09

Well, I suppose you can tell the nature of a person by the kind of movies they go see at the theatre. It's easy to sit on the couch and watch something on TV, a little harder to pop in a DVD, but when it comes to making the trip to a movie theatre, usually there has to be something worth the trek. Especially in Vegas when it gets to 110 in the summer. I play a game with myself called lets-watch-every-first-run-movie-for-any-given-month at my favorite movie theatre (in this case, at the Rave Motion Pictures Theatre in Las Vegas). Haven't made it yet; there's always some movie that comes out that I just can't bring myself to watch. Almost made it in April (but was savagely stopped short of my goal by THE HANNAH MONTANA MOVIE). Almost made it in May, but was denied by MY LIFE IN RUINS. Was doing great in June, until the unmovable object of MY SISTER'S KEEPER struck my irresistable force. Oof. At the end of the month I'm going to post my film diary at the bottom of the right column. In the next few posts, I'll put up all the movies month by month that I've seen at the Rave, starting way back in October 07. Has it been that long? Wow. It has. You'll never guess what the first movie I ever watched there was...
