This was a pretty funny movie. It starred Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis as two opponents in a congressional race. It was full of hilarious profanity and stupid humor–right up my alley. There’s not really anything else you need to know.
My rating: 3.5/5
Besides the usual laundry, cooking and cleaning, I managed to accomplish a lot over the weekend. Since the weather wasn’t too bad, I went outside and did all of the stuff that was supposed to be done last month–finished winterizing the pond; did some yard and garden clean-up; and put some things away.
Indoors, I made my Christmas cards and worked on some wine bottle glasses for Everyone Drinks. I also watched a movie, “Sons of Anarchy” and “The Walking Dead”. I even read a little bit of “Doctor Sleep”.
And, I even snuck in a nap each day. We’ll call it a winner.
This was a interesting legal thriller. I knew nothing about this movie going into it (other than the fact that Matthew McConaughey played the main character, a lawyer) so I won’t spoil it for anyone by talking about the plot because how this movie comes together in the end is practically brilliant.
My rating: 4/5
You know how when your accessory mode of transportation won’t fit in your outbuilding? That’s the problem we encountered yesterday. Neither one of us gave a thought about the fit until it was time to pull the bike and sidecar into the shed. So, now my poor bike is going to be sitting in the driveway all winter. However, all is not lost. I found these motorcycle shelter things online and ordered one of them. This sidecar just keeps getting more and more expensive as time goes on. Hopefully I’ll actually be able to enjoy it next year.
This was an amusing film about the end times (aka the rapture/apocalypse) and how it affected a group of celebrities that were at a party at James Franco’s house. Given the subject matter, it bordered on the absurd a number of times (though I’m sure this was on purpose). I like my comedies to be rooted in reality a bit more than this one was, but it was entertaining enough.
My rating: 3/5
