Losing Myself in Another World....

This weekend I decided I wanted to get away from my life for a little while by joining the virtual world of movies for a few hours. Friday night I went to Columbus with my best friend and her husband to watch Alice in Wonderland in IMAX 3D! It was amazing! Of course, because it's Tim Burton, it was a little on the strange side. And it probably isn't a movie for children, but I LOVED it!

Johnny Depp was amazing, as well as the rest of the cast. But my favorites were probably the Tweedle Twins or the Crazy Rabbit that always threw things! LOL It's definitely a movie I would recommend and I would pay to see it again without a doubt. It let me join the world of Underland (aka Wonderland) and leave my troubles behind for a little while. The soundtrack, Almost Alice, is amazing too!!!

Then on Saturday, I decided to take myself to a movie. My mood on that day was a little more depressed and sappy, so I decided I wanted to see Dear John.

I knew it was a tear-jerker, and yes I cried a lot. But I loved it as well. It hit really close to home with me because the basis of being apart from someone you love and trying to deal with the time and distance. (I've cried every day since I talked to him last, and it's gonna be a really long, hard road for me.) But this movie gave me some form of hope. (not to mention another awesome soundtrack) I am a hopeless romantic at heart, even when I hate to admit it. But I really enjoyed the movie and being able to lose myself for just a couple more hours in someone else's story, even if it is fictional.
