Robin Hood-esque

So today I was going to the movies with a friend, and we were planning on seeing In Time at 4:45. We showed up to the movies, and it wasn't on the screen. We asked the ticket lady, and she said they were experiencing some technical difficulties, but they were giving a free ticket for the inconvenience. After some discussion, we decided to watch Tower Heist which had just started, have some dinner, and make it a double feature by seeing In Time at 7:25.

Best decision of the day!!!! We got to see one movie for free and pay $6 for another. Awesome!!!

Tower Heist was quite comical. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Very much a stickin' it to the rich man... which every loan-overwhelmed recent graduate can celebrate. ;)

In Time was also superb. Action good, acting good, film overall enjoyable. And it was way more deep than I anticipated. I knew the overall premise and figured what it would involve. But there were certain monologues or quick remarks that just got me in the chest. The fact that there is enough for us all- if only we shared. How change may last for a while, but human greed will keep fighting back. How those 'with' may not be evil, but so many continue by just 'closing our eyes.' Oohhh... so good. I recommend it for those that want something to chew on, and I recommend it for those who would like some quality time staring at Justin Timberlake. lol For real though, super good movie- still thinking about the story and so many of the details laced throughout it.

And so now, I wish that I could somehow spread the wealth to those less fortunate. Of course, another theme for these two movies was not just about the money. Relationships and the (near or actual) loss of loved ones was a huge driving factor. But I don't want to get too sappy here... so I'll just leave it with saying that you should go see both of these at some point in time.
