It's July. Halfway through the year. That means we've hit the halfway mark with our quest to see a movie a week. And not one week missed yet. Awesome.
This week we picked Midnight in Paris at the last minute. We were going to see Super 8 but in a disorganized turn of events we ended up seeing this one instead. (I know what you're thinking. The Sacry sister's disorganized? Never. But alas it does happen on rare occasions.)
I had a little bit of an idea what this movie was about. I didn't realize it was a Woody Allen film and didn't remember that it premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. So that gives you a little idea of what kind of a movie it was. I was slightly prepared for this type of movie. Not sure if Deb was.
This movie had Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams. I like them both and I liked them both in this movie. This was sort of a quirky movie but I think it fit Owen Wilson's sense of humor well. It wasn't laugh out loud funny but funny in a more subtle way. I liked it. Rachel McAdams played a spoiled, slightly self centered, rich American. It's not her general role but I think it fit too.
One thing this movie made me realize is that I am not good with art and literature history. I felt like there were so many inside jokes about famous writers or artists that I just didn't get because I didn't know who they were. Makes you feel a little dumb. But I still enjoyed it nonetheless. I would say this movie was a refreshing change of pace for me.
To Sum it up: Interesting concept, a touch of humor and a nice departure from mainstream movies.
