Aloha Friday #31

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing heavy or too thought-provoking.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
Today’s question is:
What was the last grown-up movie you’ve seen?
Today my sister and I are going to see Made of Honor thanks to Mom agreeing to watch Baby Bug for a few hours. I can’t even remember the last grown-up movie I’ve seen. I’m so excited! The best part is the buttered popcorn. I don’t know why theater popcorn tastes so good!

Hmmm, last weekend we saw Enchanted, Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Bee Movie but I don’t suppose they count. It would still have to be a pay per view movie as we haven’t been to the theater in months.
Okay, we saw I Am Legend. I don’t really consider that a grown up movie but it definately isn’t a kid’s movie. I had no idea what it was about when I ordered it. I had nightmares!
I too love the buttered popcorn at the theater!!
Um…I don’t remember! And it has nothing to do with my kids being too young (they’re old enough to leave home alone for a bit now); it has everything to do with being too tired to sit in a movie theater!

The last movie I went to see in a theater was As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. I loved it. I used to love going to see movies, but after my son was born I had better things to do…like hang out with him. And now that I have twins it looks like it’ll be a few more years before I go to a theater. I’d fall asleep within 10 minutes if I went now!

last grown up movie in the theater or at home?
Honestly, I’m not too sure about either.
theater: Titanic
home: My Best Friend’s Wedding (rerun a bunch of times)
Yeah, I don’t get out much! I actually prefer kid’s movies. Just checked out again the Harry Potter movies.

Hubby and I went to see Leatherheads, which turned out MUCH better than I anticipated. I’m with you though. The popcorn is what keeps me coming back.
Jen’s last blog post..New Every Morning!
Ooo, oo, for once in my life I have seen a recent movie! (I don’t get out much either) We went to see 27 Dresses as a late Valentine’s date! (as in, I was sick on Valentine’s Day

The last movie I saw in the theatre was Expelled, with Ben Stein. I really liked it but thought that he didn’t go far enough to prove his point. The second half when he went to the concentration camp was very poignant.
Jennifer Sabin’s last blog post..Comment Love
Long time ago. I saw Fahrenheit 911, and was disappointed. I dislike going to the movies, having only the option of overpriced junk food, and those stinkers won’t pause it when I have to pee!
witchypoo’s last blog post..Grammie on my Mind
I know I saw a movie in the theater a couple months ago, but can’t remember the name!!!
On DVD at home, I last saw Juno – which was really cute, and sad!

Uh-oh, I can’t remember! The last movie I saw in the theater was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix so it doesn’t count!
Mom to P’s last blog post..Aloha Friday #23
Hi,
My husband just found your site by mistake. Now he’s moaning because I have the computer.
I can’t rember the last film I saw at the cinema. It must have been in black and white it was that long ago.
No, seriously, I took the kids to see Cars, I love any animation film.

A few weeks ago I watched Juno with a friend after our kids were all in bed. We had brownie ice cream sundaes and had a great time.

My husband and I were given gift certificates to a local movie theater. Just this past Wednesday we used them on a date night to see Made of Honor. The movie was very enjoyable. Sappy, romantic, chick flick but still very enjoyable.
Jen @ JenuineJen’s last blog post..Friday Fill-In
Hmmm…
In theatre, I think.. we saw Superman Return or Harry Porter whichever the latest one. But I’m going to go see SATC the Movie when it comes out.
At home, we just saw Alvin and the Chipmonk for the 25th times.. I guess that doesn’t count as an adult movie. Most of the time, I will get my movie and watch it late at night and Mr. Rojo will watch his movie on the iphone. The last movie we watched together at home is ‘I’m Legend’.

Actually, the last movie I saw was… Made of Honor!
Lissete’s last blog post..Movie Night
We have not been to a movie in the theater in WAY too long. The sad part is I can not remember the last movie that I took out of the library or rented. Wow, I think we need to get out one of these day. Hoping to go and see the Sex in the City movie soon after it comes out.
TheAngelForever’s last blog post..Baby sleep eating 101
Last grown up movie in a theatre was 27 dresses. At home I had the “There will be blood ” dvd but only watched the first 15 minutes and turned it off. It’s not my kind of movie.
Dee’s last blog post..Meme
Ok, how sad is this that I can’t remember the last time I went to the movies or what movie it was??? LOL If I happen to remember I’ll come back.
Spice’s last blog post..Earth Hour 2008
Ok, I remember the movie but not the name. It had Robin Williams in it and he played a minister or priest.

Spice’s last blog post..Aloha Friday #2
The last movie I saw for a girls night was Knocked Up. As a family we all saw National Treasure the second one.
I need to get out more!
Jennifer’s last blog post..I’m Back
Does it count if not in the theater? I can’t remember the last time we went OUT for a movie! The last grown up one would have to be, “Stargate SG-1″… Yeah, I like sci-fi
Crazy Daisy’s last blog post..Thursday Thirteen #3
i get to go see a grown-up movie just about every week. i get together with two friends of mine every friday and either hit a movie theater and lunch or just lunch. today’s just a lunch day since there’s no good movies out at the moment.
so, to answer your question… last week i saw made of honor. it’s a fun movie. i hope you enjoy it.
diana/sunshine’s last blog post..wonder-ful vases
We rented Dan In Real Life on kid swap night when the kids were at a friend’s house for a sleepover
Definitely worth watching!
In the theater? National Treasure 2… but I’m hoping to see the new Indiana Jones movie and Prince Caspain and Batman this summer… we’ll see if it actually happens…
We just caught Iron Man. It’s a fun super-hero movie!

Iron Man, and I really enjoyed it!
Summer’s last blog post..Can your child swallow a quarter?
Movie after movie after movie here. My kids are home sick…A grown up movie?…Tomb Raider yesterday.
.
We like homemade pop corn better and what we do is just buy the DVD of any movie we want to see. Unless it is one that we have been waiting for as a special event. We rarely get to go out on a date.
We find we can own it for less than the price of going to the theater. We love being able to pause it and answer the kids questions and go potty too
I hope you have fun!
donetta’s last blog post..Emily
I can’t tell you the last adult movie I’ve seen. I honestly just can’t remember, it’s been so long! If I’m to take a stab at it, I’d have to stay probably I am Legend which I spent 90% of the time covering my eyes because it freaked me out. LOL
Tishia Lee’s last blog post..The Man has Answered the Question
I honestly can’t remember the last time my hubby and I went to the movies together. Well, it was probably after my daughter was born but I can’t remember what we saw. Every time we plan to go to a movie, we end up doing something a bit more fun like go to dave and busters. At least you can talk, play games, have drinks. haha!
Mary @ Adventures in Mommyland’s last blog post..Huge Sample Giveaway!
The last movie I saw in theatres was “National Treasure 2,” because I was jumping at the chance to see anything in theatres before the baby came.
Anita’s last blog post..Delightful Diapers
My husband and I are in the middle of watching Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth. So great! We just finished Karate Kid 2, also. We rented all three Karate Kid movies…it had been at least ten years since we had seen them…such fun to relive the 80s via Karate Kid.
Deborah’s last blog post..Aloha Friday – Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate?
hmmm….actually since I do some traveling, I get to see movies on the airplane that I would not otherwise get to see. I just saw I Legend with Will Smith in NYC last month…..before that ….starwars, I think. we rented it for the little jewel.

I’m shocked, shocked! at how long it’s been since I’ve been able to stop by. On my blog lines I’ve enjoyed catching up . . .(sorry that your new hair cut didn’t get the awsome attention it deserved!, and loved the peek through picture!) so even though it’s Saturday, a bit late for the aloha friday I’m trying to think of the last grown up movie . . . not counting DVD’s? hmmm . . . . I think we saw “American Ganster”. I can’t even remember where the kids were! LOL
