"V" for Very Cool!

After close to 20 years, my husband has finally moved to Friday/Saturday days off instead of Sunday/Monday (he actually had to use vacation time for our own wedding).  So, what did we do on his first weekend off?  We went to the movies, baby.  Yes, like a real date, we braved the mall on a Saturday evening, we stood in line at the theater, and we watched the coolest damn movie I’ve seen in a long time.

Now, I have to say the mall on a Saturday night is not as exciting as one might think.  We are used to the low key Sunday afternoon or Monday evening deal.  You know, when it is more like a ghost town at the theater than a place of entertainment.  I suppose we thought it would be cool to be out amongst the other weekenders for a change.  But, what it really turned out to be was a grind.

No matter!  The movie was freakin’ cool…did I already say that?  Well, let me say it again.  Cool!  What did we see, you ask?  We saw “V” for Vendetta.  I think this is the type of movie you’ll either love or you’ll hate.  It holds a very strong political message and can be a bit intense at times.  Oh, but that dialogue and the effects.  It was really a pleasure to watch it just for the cinematography alone.  It was a work of art.  Can you tell I’m one of the one who loved it?

I want to see it again, to sink my teeth into it, to sit back and appreciate the story and to catch all that I missed in the first viewing.  And, yes, I’m sure I missed a lot.  It was meaty and profound and I enjoyed it to the hilt.

So, if you are not offended by movies trying to tout a bit of a political message and profound dialogue and action are your cup of tea, go see this movie.  Who knows, you might be one of the ones who love it.
