Not only did we stay in last night, but we didn't even pay attention to the time until about 11:58 when my wife looked at her phone and said its almost time. Our New Year 2012 was a train wreck, sick kids and all, so this year we were determined to get through with zero issues. Mission Accomplished.
Instead of even pretending like we knew how to have fun, we watched two movies: Pitch Perfect and Bourne Legacy. Both movies were actually pretty good and probably worth the 5 bucks I dropped on them.
Pitch Perfect is kind of weird and features an unnatural amount of singing, but the singing is actually integral to the plot so its not really a musical. There are just enough funny bits scattered in between the harmony to make it enjoyable, and I think the wife really liked it.
Bourne Legacy breaks pretty much my cardinal rule with movies, messing with the back story of a prequel movie to make a sequel work. Besides that heinous action, the movie is pretty good. Lots of shooting, ass whooping, and car chases to keep you happy. Its by far the weakest of the Bourne series, and they pretty much jumped the shark by ditching the main character and creating a side story, but they will probably make 8 more of these and I will probably watch all 8.
