films like buses

Last year I went to the cinema once, and it was the first time in a long while. This year I have already been to the cinema!! We went to see The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which I thoroughly enjoyed - the scenery was lovely (I want to go and see the Northern Lights one day - I was asked the other day if I could go anywhere where would it be, and the answer had to be my spiritual home of Dufton, but if I could go anywhere on a foreign holiday, it would be maybe to Iceland, if that's where I could see the lights - I've not really read up on where the best place to go might be. Just has a quick internet look whilst seeking a picture - am going to have to start saving!!) As it was all to do with photography, it felt atmospheric with its lighting and colours, but also the plot was heartwarming and funny in places, and I really enjoyed the soundtrack.
And then to overload my senses, we watched the much awaited Sherlock, which I enjoyed (tho had to hide for some parts, I don't do tension). And THEN we watched Before Midnight on DVD, which has kept me crying long after the film was over - there was, as with the previous 2 linked films, some great observations on gender, and lots on love and loss. A man died in a car accident yesterday in my town, and the fear of loss overwhelms me at times.
Today there is a bit of work, and we'll see if we can re-arrange the walk that was postponed from yesterday - arranging it with family has sadly proved too tricky :( Tomorrow is an early start at work so no late night for me tonight, tho am looking forwards to a catch up with friends this evening. So the year has started reasonably, making effort to be with people and do stuff rather than slob at home. Hurrah. Hope you're happy with how 2014 has begun for you too.
