I have watched 2 movies as of late that were interesting. First is Doctor Jivago I think it was made a year after I was born. When I was a kid they played it on PBS every few years but I never saw it. Well I rented it and watched all 3 hours and 19 minutes of it, actually it has an intermission and stuff in it and I didn't watch that:-) It was alright, it had some gorgeous snow scenes in it. The story didn't strike me as passionately as it should have to justify adultery. But it was during the Russian Revolution, and it did make me very grateful to have lived in this time, where your spouse can't be drug off for years to fight and possibly be separated for the rest of our lives.
I went to see "Lars and the Real Girl" at the theater it was such a sweet movie. It was a little sad, it has funny stuff in it too. By the end it left you feeling good about people in general and realize that we just don't really know people and their personal struggles. I would recommend this movie and if it's to late to see it at the theater, then remember to rent it. It was good.

I saw Zivago when I was just a teenager, and could tell it was supposed to be intense by the music - but didn't get it at all, and was just mostly put off by the adultry. So I'm with you - great scenes of snow.
We just saw Dan in Real Life and really enjoyed it. Isn't it weird how movies keep coming in seeming pairs? Dan in Real Life, Lars and the Real Girl. Penguin movies, cooking movies (did you see no reservations? - one of the two chef movies that's come out in years, within months of the other one. Now, everybody from kids on up knows what a sous chef is. Diff between the movies? One has rats, the other doesn't.)
Thanks for the recommendation--the next time we get a babysitter (who knows when that could be) we'll go check out Lars.
