A weekend of watching

A cold weekend. So I watched many things; mostly DVDs from the library. I watched the second season of "The Tudors". Better than the first season, but still not very good. And still historically inaccurate. Watched the recent movie "Brideshead Revisited" and was delighted to have saved money by NOT seeing it in the theatre. (Snore.)
Treated myself to "Slumdog Millionaire" at the theatre. Truly, one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. But don't be fooled by the hype and taglines into thinking this is the feel-good movie of the year. It's violent and depressing through most of the film. Amazing screenplay (certainly Oscar worthy) that pulls everything together. 9 out of 10. See it!!
