I love how I can get lost in a movie. Tonight I watched "How to Train Your Dragon" with the family. It's an animated film. And yet I still find myself lost in the story. I fell in love with the dragons (ok, I do have a soft spot for dragons already). I was cheering for him. Egging him on, taking his side and fervently praying that he would live through the final confrontation. I was ready to cry (I even had the lump in my throat just waiting to overwhelm me). That's how much I love getting lost in a movie.
There's nothing worse than those movies where 5 minutes in I just know I'm an observer standing on the outside. Those are the movies that I spend counting down the minutes waiting for it to finish. That pretty much describes any Winnie the Pooh movie by Disney and the Hannah Montana Concert movie. I'm also sure it will happen when I'm forced to watch Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never" but sometimes there are sacrifices you make for your kids.
The ultimate movie experience for me was Avatar. For three glorious (and not at all dragging) hours I was immersed in the fantasy world of Pandora. 3D made it all the more pleasurable as it felt like I could just reach out and touch the plants and flowers. Pure heaven!!!!
