Two movies in one weekend, somebody pinch me! On Saturday, Aaron and I got a rare 'date day', while Nana watched the kiddos. We had kept seeing advertisements for The Shallows and Aaron saw that it got good reviews, so we went to go see it. For reference, this is the 2nd movie we have seen in the theater since Chloe has been born, almost 2 years ago. We Love our movie nights (see The Finest Hours), but getting to the theater is a real treat.
I am a huge Blake Lively fan (closet Gossip Girl fan) , and was excited to see a movie that seemed a bit 'out there' for her. I love seeing actors break out from what you are used to seeing them in and they shine! And that she did. The story follows her experience visiting a new beach to surf when she ventures into the feeding ground a great white shark. The rest of the movie shows her pain, sadness and strength as she does all she can to stay alive. I enjoyed this movie and thought Blake Lively did a great job, especially since she was basically the Only person in the whole movie.
Disclaimer...the previews for this movie were crazy scary! I was seriously concerned, and Aaron was too he later told me, that we decided to see a movie that was going to turn into a horror flick. It was not :)
As always, the views expressed are my own.
