This past weekend Mary and I saw Arthur and The Conspirator.

Arthur was meh. Some charm and good jokes every so often, but too long of stretches in between.

The Conspirator was ok, but also, a litle slow. It’s the story of a trial of a conspirator of John Wilkes Booth. James McAvoy was really strong in the lead but the movie just never quite worked for me. Put another way, the story looked more interesting than the movie itself was.

Still, even with two so-so movies, it was nice to spend in a little time in a movie theater again. Every time I go I think, “Why don’t I do this more often?”

There’s a couple of movies at the Grand I’m looking forward to seeing–Jane Eyre, Win Win, and Potiche when it opens–so I’m looking forward to finding a chance to see those.
