Just wanted to update you all on the movies I've seen since my last post since I do have a recommendation as I thought I would...

Frost/Nixon - Great movie. Although I cannot believe it is rated R. I double-checked Mom and it is. Just silly. There is nothing objectionable in the movie in my opinion. Probably just one too many F-words. But it really was good. As Ron Howard (the director) said himself, it really makes you feel empathy for Nixon - not sympathy, empathy. It helps you see what was going on with him. I now want to see the real interviews!

Slumdog Millionaire - Also rated R, which I don't really understand. It was, however, much more serious than I expected it to be. I would definitely recommend it. It is very well made and the way they tell the story is very compelling.

The Reader - Definitely rated R. Not for the faint-hearted, for sure. But excellent performance by Kate Winslet and the German boy whose name I don't know. She will likely get an Oscar nomination for this role.

Also, the chicken & broccoli turned out really well. I actually just had some leftovers for lunch! Thanks again for the recipe.

This is gonna be a great week for me - tomorrow is the inauguration and Adam will be on American Idol, Wednesday is the LOST season premiere, Thursday I start school and see all my friends again and the Oscar nominations come out and Friday I have off - no work or school! Here's hoping your weeks are all as good! :)
