Some of them.
World's Greatest Dad with Robin Williams - I was looking for something to make me laugh till I peed. No such luck. Bleak. Cynical. And as they say - Dark. Where the comedy was in this I am yet to discover.
Twilight. Both of them. The children and I watched the first one so many times that we would have noticed if they rearranged one of the trees in the pine forest. We went to see the second one at a movie theatre in Alpine, Texas. Can you believe there are still places in the US where the tix are $4? The second movie - New Moon - was only acceptable because of the teenage girls in the audience whistling and screaming anytime the teenage stars took off their shirts - the boy teenage stars that is.
Julie and Julia. Well, I guess that this critic has to whisper that she found the movie interesting to the eye but just not that engaging. I feel asleep on my first two attempts to watch it.
The Road. Incredible that a movie about the end of everything could be so profound, lovely and not at all depressing. Maybe after having seen so many hobos and hobo gangs in US cities during the last few months the whole premise isn't that unbelievable. The acting was amazing.
The full Avatar series. Not a movie but one of my favorite tv shows. We had never seen the 1st season so only now getting to it. Love it.
And lots more.
And I even read a few books including:
Running with Scissors. Nothing to say about that one. You have to read it yourself.
Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. Enjoyable but too hard to put down when you have lots of things to do. Annoying to feel that something has that kind of power over you. Don't authors know that I am a busy woman.
Trinidad Noir. Still reading and having fun with this one. I love short stories AND I love mysteries, crime books and suspense. And I can put down the book and get to my important chores.
Rand-McNally Atlas. I now know this one by heart. Even the minor roads. Don't believe me? Give me a pop quiz.
