Movie Monday!!!

This weekend I saw 2 movies. One was The Band's Visit which was fairly boring and pointless but I kept watching because the town they get stuck in kind of reminded me of where I grew up. The whole movie is basically the Egyptian Police Band members' interactions with the locals of this small Israeli town that they are dependant on due to the lack of amenities. Each scene was awkward and got more awkward. It had it's good moments but I can't think of anyone I'd recommend it to.
The other one I saw was Ballet Shoes. It wasn't my favorite movie of the year, or probably even top ten but there were no disappointments, which is rare for me. There is usually something about each movie that kind of ruins it, which is why my movie Mondays are sporadic. It's a cute film about 4 girls who were adopted by an explorer who then abandons them for several years so they must try to support themselves. I generally like movies about orphans, sisters, dancing, and/or unrequited love so with it also being set in 1930's England I kind of had to like it.
