Since we are kid-less, we thought it would be a good idea to go to a movie over the weekend. And… being the loving husband I am… I let Karen pick the movie. She chose The Lake House. Although I don’t care for most of Keanu’s movies and I can’t stand Sandra Bullock, I have to admit that I wasn’t totally opposed to seeing it. It had the whole “time warp” aspect to the story and I like a good chick flick every now and then.

Overall, it wasn’t too bad, I would have rather waited for the DVD. Keanu did a decent job. He still has that flat delivery but he wasn’t distracting. And Sandra was still annoying but didn’t do to bad either. The plot was completely predictable and had several holes. It seems the fact that they could communicate with each other although separated by a two year gap was accepted as an everyday occurrence by several of the characters.
 Just before the start of the third act I leaned over and told Karen how it was going to end, and it did. Exactly.

After the movie, I told Karen that since I took her to a Keanu Reeves chick flick she would have to watch The Matrix with me.
Side Note: Keanu was made to play three roles. 1) The boyfriend in Parenthood 2) Ted 3) Neo.

We got through half of it last night because Karen had to get to bed early. We will finish it tonight. So far, she isn’t impressed. Somewhere in the Kung-Fu training scene she turned to me and asked, “how did we end up together? We don’t have the same tastes in music or movies.” (paraphrase)

That’s a good question. I guess we have the “making fun of people in public” thing going for us.
