Ryan and I haven't watched a movie together for a LONG time...unless you count the endless times we've seen Cars, Baby Einstein Old McDonald Farm Animals, or Baby Einstein's Noah Ark!! We had cancelled our Netflix subscription when Paul was still a little baby because neither of us could stay awake long enough to finish the movie! But Ryan received a Netflix subscription as a generous birthday gift so we were excited to give it another try.
Ryan is still recovering from a bad case of strep throat so we were going to lay low on New Year's Eve(his birthday). The city of Coleraine puts on a pretty amazing fireworks display near our house so we drove down to the park to watch them with Paul...he thought they were pretty neat! Also, they set them off at 6:30 which is nice because it's plenty of time before someone needs to go to bed.
After putting Paul to bed we watched Gone Baby Gone...it was awesome. Not really an uplifting comedy but a gripping suspense with a huge moral dilemma. We both really liked it and even had a discussion about the movie after it was over. Two thumbs up!
Last night we watched Dan in Real Life which was also really great. A romantic comedy but not cheesy. Steve Carrell is great and we both laughed SEVERAL times. This was really the best "romantic" comedy I've seen in a long time. The family dynamics in this movie were really funny!
P.S. We also watched Iron Man a couple of weeks ago and it was really enjoyable...I didn't really want to watch it because I'm not a huge action fan but I was pleasantly surprised!

I think Mark is still boohooing over his Netflix subscription being up. (It, too, was a birthday gift.) He absolutely loved it and would always stay up late to watch a movie while I would go to bed.
However, the one movie we did watch together was Dan in Real Life. I, too, loved it and thought it was a great movie.
Have fun shoveling tomorrow!
