Movies!

So one of my goals for 101 in 1001 is to watch 101 new (to me) movies. I've watched a load since coming to America! The first was on the airplane. "The Time Travelers Wife". Maybe it was because I was on a plane for so long, or because I was tired and couldn't sleep but I didn't really enjoy the movie. I thought the ending was kind of stupid. I didn't have any trouble following the storyline, I wasn't confused I just wasn't terribly interested. Next...hmmm, I watched a performance of La Boehme but I don't know if that counts as a movie since it was a taped stage production...and I slept through a good half of it (my jet lag this trip has been horrendous!) I saw both "Sherlock Holmes" and "Avatar" in the theater and was well pleased with both. While visiting in Redding I had the misfortune to watch "Return of the Outlaw" a Lions Gate miserable failure at western and the pleasure of "Julie and Julia". Also in Redding I watched the unpredictably predictable "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" and for New Years Eve the comedy (I use the word loosely) "Hangover" Then while visiting my Aunt in L.A. I enjoyed "Kate&Leopold" for the first time.
While I have collected many new books that I'm sure I'll be adding to my list the only one I've finished is "Outlander" a lovely historical romance brick. A woman falls through a time portal and has to cope finding love along the way. Very enchanting but not for the feint hearted, what with copious bloody fight and doctoring scenes and realistic descriptions of what life like back in the day.
