Thor

On Friday night, I enjoyed a night out for dinner and a movie. I know I'm not one to hit the movie theaters...but hey, it was definitely a nice change.

Dinner was absolutely fantastic. I don't remember what the place was called...or where it was exactly...but I had the most incredible baby back ribs. They were probably the best I've had in quite awhile. I mean, these ribs were literally fall-off the bone tender...and the sauce had a nice tangy but sweet flavor. Oooh...so good. And along with the ribs, I also enjoyed an amazingly nice apple coleslaw and a slice of cornbread. Oh man, it was so good. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Anyway, after dinner, we went to go see Thor. Now, considering all the hype around the movie (big blockbuster, bad critic reviews, my friends and their mixed reviews, etc.), I didn't know what to expect. But you know what? I was pleasantly surprised. Granted, it's not going to win an Academy Award or anything...but to start off my summer movie season, it was pretty solid. The storyline was pretty good, the characters had good development and there was plenty of action to keep me entertained.

Now, I'm not too familiar with Thor. All I know is that he's the God of Thunder...I wish the movie went into a little more detail about his character and what kind of power(s) he 's actually capable of. But in the movie, he just basically walked around with his hammer and manly chest...and things just sorta happened. He didn't really seem to have any special super powers of his own. But again, overall, I liked the movie more than I thought I would. Maybe having low-to-no expectations going into the movie helped. :-/

But yeah, that's about it. There are a whole crapload of movies that are coming out within the next month or so that look really cool and I'm super excited to check 'em out. Sooo here's to the start of my summer movie season.
