We saw a screening for the movie Rush last week. This is a Ron Howard movie about James Hunt and Niki Lauda, two Formula One drivers. I loved the movie. I thought they did a wonderful job with the casting. The main characters looked just like James and Nikki. There were some great camera shots and the movie left me wanting to know more about these two incredible drivers. I highly recommend that you see it.

We went to see We Are the Millers last week while we were in Florida. It was a really funny movie, I would definitely recommend it. There is definitely language in it so be forewarned if that bothers you. It was just us and two groups of "Golden Girls" in the theatre. They made the movie even better. Listening to them laugh was hysterical!
We were able to check out the new Carmike Boulevard 10 in Miramar. It throws you off a bit when you first walk in. There is no one to greet you and no obvious place to buy your tickets. We found out this is a new test concept. You purchase tickets to the right where you purchase concessions. To the left they have a soda/popcorn area. If you purchase these items you will be given a cup and bag at checkout, then you proceed to this area where they have the awesome Coke Freestyle machines. I love these things and they have four of them set up for a serve yourself style. There is an employee behind the popcorn counter ready to fill your bag. Popcorn and drinks are free refills no matter what size you purchase. I think this will take some getting use to and we were lucky that we went at a time when people were in school and it wasn't crowded. I can't imagine trying this out for the first time on a busy Friday night. Overall we didn't mind the new set up and of course love the Coke machines.
