Since our relationship began over 10 years ago, my significant other and I have bonded over going to the movies together. We have been to well over 250 films just in the theater alone! Over that time, the movie going experience has changed. Nicer seats, more variety in concessions, etc. But one thing has stayed constant, we love going to the movies. Seeing a good film takes you to another time, another place, and puts you in the middle of the action. Whether that is fantasy, history, or a modern day slice-of-life film, it takes us out of ourselves and helps us look at the world from a different perspective.
Over the years we have developed two habits. The first is to get there for the previews, so after each one we can turn to each with one of the following: eager anticipatory nodding, grimaced head-shake “no”, or the shrug of indifference. There are also the occasional films labeled “girls night out” or “boys night out” if the other one has no interest at all. The other habit is to rate each movie individually on a scale of 1 to 10, our own little He Said/She Said at the movies. I figured it is time we shared our personal views with everyone else. We know it is our own opinions, so you can take them anyway you please. We will start this experiment tonight as we go to the film, A Simple Favor. Check in tomorrow for of first review!
