In what seems to be a trend this year, I’ve decided to keep track of my media consumption this year. I may do books over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
50bookchallenge, but my main interest is just how many movies I see in a year. I would estimate in the low triple digits, but that’s all it would be: an estimate. The time has come to subject my chosen obsession to the cold hard science of a blogged list. So let’s start with how I spent my afternoon:
1. Night at the Museum
I wasn’t sure about this one, because what little advertising there was made it look kind of dumb. And it is kind of dumb, but in a fun family film sort of way that was worth the discounted ticket price. Besides, how many movies are coming out these days with Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney? It has it’s faults, such as a lame feel-good ending and one of the worst child actors since Jake Lloyd, but there are more than enough genuine laughs to tip the balance. And bonus points for being a kid-friendly movie that doesn’t insult the intelligence of adults in the audience. In the end it was entertaining enough to watch, but I wouldn’t pay full price to see it.
