The Avengers.  Paul and I both liked this one!  The plot was a little simplistic and it almost seemed like the heroes fought with each other more than they fought against the enemy, but lots of stuff blew up so . . . I think we can overlook the lack-of-substance part.  Also, I was surprised with how funny it was.  Mostly Iron Man.

The Muppets.  Since Paul and I really like The Big Bang Theory I think the best part of this movie was Jim Parsons' cameo where he sang "Am I a Man or am I a Muppet".  That song and a few others were kind of catchy, and of course I think Amy Adams is adorable, but mostly the movie was a dud.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.  Meh.  This was mostly weird.  Not bad necessarily, but it wasn't my favorite.

We Bought a Zoo.  Matt Damon.  I thought it was sad and cute.

Larry Crowne.  Yeah, it was okay.  Kind of weird, but with a nice message.  I was crocheting while it was on so I don't know if I can really give an accurate assessment.

And Star Wars (all the episodes) was on TV recently and Paul and I watched a few.  I know I've seen Episode I, II, and IV, but I can't be sure about any of the other ones.  At least, I wouldn't remember them if I saw them.  Paul was making fun of me because I kept asking who was who during Episode I.  He also pointed out that I really don't understand a lot of pop culture references to Star Wars since I barely know the characters.  Oh well, there are worse things.

Next week Paul is going to California with his class for 4 days so I'll be all alone.  I was thinking about borrowing Gilmore Girls from the library, but I can't decide which season, 1 or 2?  Any good chick flicks I should watch?

Do you like British dramas? BBC has tons of fantastic ones, like Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility. There's also a very fun Robin Hood series from the BBC. I get them all at my library, but I think they're probably all on netflix, too.

I liked the muppets, but I grew up on the muppets.

Also, you need to read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Really.
