Saturday at the Movies...

So it's no secret to my family and friends that I am a complete movie fangirl.  I love that movies (to me) are the visual equivalent of books.  There are just so many different and wonderful world's to get lost in. 

Let me know if any of these are on your must see list, and if they aren't, let me know what is.  I'm always interested in finding a hidden treasure, be it book or movie!


The Hunger Games - One more month, only one more month!




 Snow White and the Huntsman - I love the Gothic Feel of this - here's hoping Kristen Stewart doesn't muck it up!

  1. Oooh good list.

    #1 for me is Hunger Games!!!! I cannot wait.

    After that I want to see Snow White and the Huntsman, Dark Knight, and the Secret World of Arrietty. I'm also looking forward to Mirror, Mirror and The Lucky One. My oldest and I are planning to go see Titanic on the big screen again (well again for me anyways - the 1st time I saw it I was pregnant with her).

    1. I want to see Mirror Mirror and The Lucky One too! Although, I'm always wary of Nicholas Sparks books/movies…I usually end up bawling my eyes out! Titanic is also a no-no for me, because my eyes can not handle the amount of tears they must produce to survive that movie.

  2. The Hunger Games is definitely on my must-see list. I'd be curious to see the new Batman and Spiderman movie as well. Are you planning to watch all of these?

    And, oh my word? Leo is gonna play Nick in The Great Gatsby? *fangirls till the end of time* hahaha. Loving that picture and I love Baz Lurman films. The visuals are always insanely gorgeous in his films.
