M & M Day

No, I'm not talking about chocolate candies that "melt in your mouth, not in your hand". Instead, I am referring to a day that began with breakfast and then a massage and movie.

Denise had the day off today, so we decided to spend the day together. After picking her up at home, we headed off for breakfast after running a few errands.

From there, we went to our favorite massage place near the Northridge Fashion Center. We were both aching. She was aching from her boxing workouts and I was aching from my martial arts workouts and dismantling and lugging the old bed out to the dumpster. That thing was heavy and awkward.

Following the massage, we then went to the Northridge Fashion Square's theaters to see the new Leonardo DiCaprio flick, The Revenant.

According to Wikipdedia:

The Revenant is a 2015 American frontier revenge film directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Written by Iñárritu and Mark L. Smith, based in part on Michael Punke's The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge, the film is inspired by the experiences of frontiersman and fur trapper Hugh Glass. Set in 1823 Montana and South Dakota, the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Glass, and co-stars Tom Hardy, Will Poulter, and Domhnall Gleeson.

The film was nicely shot with beautiful scenery (shot in the U.S., Canada and Argentina). It had lots of blood, snow, rivers and pine forests (I felt almost compelled to ask out loud, "Where's the RV park?"). It was rather long (156 minutes). My grade: A.

And, no, DiCaprio's character does not get raped by a grizzly bear.
