Date Night

THE DATE NIGHT Extravaganza: DH and I have a date night once a week, most every week. We go out for dinner and then to movies mid-week. It is a lot of fun and actually pretty cheap. We have seen a ton of movies, some good, some not so good. One of my summer favorites has been "Ironman."

This week we went with friends from church: Dan and Tovah and Scott and Stephanie. We went to watch "Wanted." Talk about an action flick!! I will warn you that there was a LOT of profanity; it was rated R. And the violence, well it was violent. Very violent. Lots of blood. Very reminiscent of Kill Bill. You see a lot of blood flying around in slow motion. So if you can handle all of that, I think you would like it.

The plot was pretty interesting, and the action was intense. I liked Angelina Jolie Pitt in it as well as the young man playing the main character. He also played the doctor in "The Last King of Scotland" movie. The summary of the movie is about a young man trying to find his way in life. He hates his current dead end job and feels like he is missing out on his destiny. Then a group of assassins tell him that he is one of them because his father was an assassin and that his panic attacks are really his ability to curve bullets. It's an entertaining movie if you can stand the violent violence.

If you are in the middle of trying to figure out your life, don't join a group of assassins. I think praying for guidance would be more effective .....unless one of your parents was an assassin, then it could be for you.
