My friends, Eb, Amanda, Maureen and I live in different counties so we decided to do a movie night each month about 2-3 years ago as a way of keeping in touch and hanging out since we’re usually not in each other’s areas often enough.

May movie night was this Saturday over Maureen’s house. She had “There Will Be Blood” and “The Royal Tenenbaums” as her movie picks.

I normally do not like period dramas so I was a little iffy about her first pick, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be. The actor who plays Eli definitely needed to win some kind of award because his performance was amazing! I think it deserved more praise than Daniel Day Lewis’…

I stopped paying attention to “The Royal Tenenbaums” because I was ready to go home. And it was more fun talking and catching up and also reminiscing with my friends. “There Will Be Blood” took all the energy from me. I’m more of a comedy, action or romantic-comedy person anyway…
