What I'm Watching Wednesday

Yep, it's that time again! Checked another two movies off my watch list along with a third [that Redbox second rental for $.50 gets me every time] that was unplanned and hilarious. So let's get to it:

I had previously blogged about Dark Places finally being released earlier this month. Well thanks to it's "limited release" lame I resorted to literally Google-ing how I could find the movie. Enter YouTube. Yes, YouTube. You can apparently rent movies for $6 on YouTube, hollar for a dollar [or six.] While I was less than thrilled with the ending of Gone Girl [the book] the movie did it justice. Dark Places was the exact opposite. For starters riddle me this, why do you have a 40 year old playing a character who is supposed to be in her late 20's. Oh because Charlize Theron produced the movie that's why. The casting was off in my opinion except for Christina Hendricks who did a knock out job of playing Mrs. Day. The book is incredible. The movie fell flat [on it's face.] My recommendation, read the book skip the movie.

This one I had been waiting and waiting for and could not hit play fast enough, The Longest Ride.

Seriously not enough amazing things I can say about this movie. Probably my favorite Nicholas Sparks movie, hands down. Now there's no rain drenched sex scene or 365 letters. And there's no dramatic reunion between lost lovers. This movie is about real life and how messy love really is. I loved it. RENT IT ASAP.

And finally my $.50 rental, The Duff. 

Absolutely hilarious. This is the perfect movie to have on when you're doing emails or bills. Super light and witty. So many one liners I was cracking up at [intramural Wii golf..] I was pleasantly surprised. Well done Redbox recommendations, well done. 

Watch List:
