Why Did I See That Movie???...

I Think This One Is Worth Seeing...

As with movies, I either can count on one hand how many times I go to the movies in on year or how many times I have walked out of a movie thinking why did I see that movie???...

Yeah, I make it no secret how I feel about wasting money. Going to the movies will take a chunk out of your wallet. The movie ticket itself costs about $8 or more. Plus add the cost of a small box popcorn which costs about $5. Then add on the soda at another $5. And then candy, if you don't buy it at the store. It can cost $3. Shux, that can add up to a little more than $20 spent for couple of hours. Shux, I think I do better by waiting until the movie comes out on DVD. At least I can watch it over and over in the comfort of my home for one low price. I can move forward and backward if I miss the dialogue. I can watch parts of the movie and come back to it when I feel it. Plus, as I watch the movie I can eat a full scale dinner or have nothing more than water which won't cost me an arm and a leg.

However, this time around I'm going to try to support Tyler Perry. I've seen some of his plays by tape, and never have seen any of his theater movies. And I wasn't really able to get into his tv show that he has on cable now. It seems like people have a hard time trying to move between tv and movies. Either they are good at one or the other. Very few people can excel at both. Bill Cosby and his tv shows have done very well and deserve spots in the Hall of Fame, but his movies have always sucked. Martin Lawrence's tv show was the best of his work, but his comedy skills seem not to take as well to his movies. So given Perry's lackluster tv show, something gives me the feeling that his current movie will be pretty good.

I have to admit that I only know a little bit about the movie. Janet Jackson and Jill Scott will be starring in it. And it seems that they along with a cast of other folks will be discussing a lot of relationship issues. No matter whether a person is married or not, in some way, shape or form, many people will be able to relate anyway in their own dating relationships. Or perhaps, some of us unmarried folks may get a chance to get a sneak peek into the married life. Maybe not. We'll see.

If anyone else sees the movie, let's discuss it next week. It will be very interesting to see how different people perceive it.
