It's been a movie kind of weekend. Yesterday I finally got to see Pirates of the Caribbean. Awesome! I'm glad that the cursed pirates were not always in icky-form because they were very scary and that was a huge reason that I didn't go see it in the theatre alone. lol. Very good action movie with lots of humor. :o)
My housemate has netflix and so gets new movies every week or so. Last night I watched an animated one that she'd heard was really good - The Triplets of Belleville. Very bizarre, yet very charming. I loved Bruno the dog, and the musical aspect to the film. There's next to no words, which was off-putting at first but fine by the end of the movie. Since there are no words, this really isn't a movie you can put on while you're doing something else, but it was enjoyable.
Then this morning I watched Walk the Line. Oh, most excellent. I actually didn't know that much about Johnny Cash's early career other than vague stuff, so it was new in that sense. Joaquin did an excellent job as Johnny (tiny quibble with not sounding exactly like him in the songs, but really, who would?! so that's okay) and Reese was AMAZING as June. Absolutely radiant. Lots of tears and laughter all around.
Today was also 'let's make chocolate dessert' day - made chocolate bombs and cracker candy. YUM, yum. Delicious.

I found it interesting. Another person on my f-list thought it was just ok.
