Movies & Shows

In between:
  • visiting with BB & Nicole
  • the wedding
  • visiting with Mr. & Mrs. Drang, and
  • Thanksgiving supper with the family
Mr. J & I managed to squeeze in 3 movies and a number of Arrested Development episodes and the first episode of Bionic Woman.

First, SUPERBAD. Go see it. It's hilarious. Well, at least for the first hour or so. The humour tapered off near the middle, and didn't really come back. At least not at the level it was in the beginning. But it definitely made me & Mr. J laugh out loud.

Secondly, Stardust. A romantic, fairy tale love story. I think I had way too many descriptors in that last sentence, but I don't care. It was a wonderful movie. I was full of 'aahhhhs' and smiles as soon as it ended. Mr. J liked it, but my brother thought it was full of 'cheese.' It was great. I've become a mushy romantic, and I love it.

Thirdly, Fracture. This court drama with Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling was interesting. Anthony's character plays games with the justice system, and ends up getting away with murdering his wife. Although it was based on US law, it was interesting to be able to point out all the inconsistencies and half-truths regarding the law and investigation, being that I just finished with my jury duty.

As for Arrested Development, it's still good. Even though this is my 3rd time through the first disc. But this time I got to watch it with my sweetie, who appears to find it just as entertaining as I.

Bionic Woman looks good, so I think I will start watching it. I think I have another episode to catch up on before tomorrow night.
