"This has been my best day of all time."

After being gone all day Saturday, we originally planned to at least watch two Sunday. Unfortunately, the Zodiac disc was screwed up and froze about an hour into it, so we will have to finish that one another day. So, technically we didn't get the full 7 movies this week. Oh, well - we will catch up!

The movie we did watch Sunday was Son of Rambow. I think this has been my favorite one so far. The main character was adorable, but I thought Will Poulter (Lee Carter) stole the movie. I will keep an eye out for that kid in other movies, for sure. He is so watchable and has that self-possessed thing a lot of British child actors have that I absolutely love. This was a very sweet movie, which we really needed after the string of difficult ones we have been watching. We found the the comedy in the stunts the kids pulled off while attempting to make the movie and drama provided by the glimpses into their seemingly opposite but similarly difficult family lives equally compelling.

This week's picks will hopefully be a bit lighter than last week's! B decided he wants to do some kind of "theme" weeks. He seems to think this will be "comedy" week, which should tell you a little bit about the mindset in our household. ;o)


  • Weirdsville
  • Baghead
  • Some Like it Hot
  • Humpday
  • Women in Trouble
  • Fantastic Mr. Fox

Edited to add: I totally jumped the gun on this. We still have Jesus Camp tonight. Oops! I felt so behind that I wanted to get those four posted and move forward. Oh, well, now we're ahead.
