Movie mishap

I found the previews for The Debt to be interesting. So the plan was to watch a Saturday matinee and use a Screen saver, that would make it cost only $7.00. The plan was squashed because the time we picked was 4:35 p.m. and the cut off time for a matinee is 4 p.m. We could not use a GMT because it was still on the list of non-screen saver movies.{Why consolidated Screen savers? I buy mine at Marukai(you don't seem to need a membership, even though I have one) which means I get a booklet of 10 for $70. Marukai charges $0.25 more per savers ticket, but I think if you buy it from consolidated minimum purchase is 100 for $675. A general admission movie ticket ranges from $9- 10.75. I usually go to Ward so that is a difference of $3.75 per ticket. If you go in with four people $3.75 times four is $15! A matinee is $8.50, which would only make it a $1.50 savings, but times that by four again which is $6 and you have almost enough to by another savers ticket. So if you plan on purchasing 10 consolidated tickets and are watching it during matinee times

or watch after the first few weeks of the movie coming out-when it is still on the no pass list-, you might want to consider using some Screen saver tickets.}

Trying to decide which movie to watch instead in the hot humid day was not fun. Most were movies that had not received decent reviews. The other half was movies that were on the no pass list.

After narrowing it down to two movies, it was decided that we would see Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Really not the movies that I would have liked to see. But I was assured that it got high review ratings, and positive comments. The nice thing about seeing something that you have low expectations for, is that the movie has a higher chance of being better than you expected.

Reasons why I did not want to watch Rise of the Planet of the Apes:

In the previews I did not like the creepy eyes of the ape.

Primates attacking people.

Experimental testing on animals.

I don't remember liking the last planet of the ape type movie

I wanted to see The Debt

The eyes were still creepy when I watched it. The violence was still disturbing. The testing and bio-experimentation was still disturbing. I still want to see The Debt.

Some how the whole movie worked. There was rarely a point where it felt like the lull was too long. Or the action scene was overly stretched out. Sure there were things in it that just did not make sense in the connection and of the likely hood of it happening, but you just need to remember it is only a movie.
