we watched the most interesting movie last night. it was called everything is illuminated and it is the story of a young man who travels to the ukraine to meet the woman who helped his grandpa escape from the nazis. it was done in the style of the wes anderson movies, which jeremy loves and me not so much (bottle rocket, the life aquatic with steve zissou, royal tennnebaums, rushmore, etc). this movie though i liked. the family he stays with is made up of a grouchy old man who reminds me of the grandpa in little miss sunshine and a young man about his age who reminds of a not as much perverted borat type character (his speech patterns and things... sounds like he is using a thesaurus as he talks because the words mean the right thing but dont. if that makes any sense. like joey on friends when he wrote the letter for chandler and monica to adopt the baby and used the thesaurus on every word.). anyways, the plot was intersting and we loved it. check it out.
we also watched the queen on monday. another film we both enjoyed. it wasnt at all what i expected but i loved it. helen mirren is like my new hero. this movie mostly centered on what the queen and the prime minister did and felt and said just before, during and after princess diana's death. interesting backstage look into the royal life.
i finished the newest harry potter book (and the deathly hallows). i started in sunday at the beach and couldnt stop. i finished it last night. i love these books. some people may find them childish and some may find them satanic (both things i do not agree with). i cant really go into detail because i dont want to ruin it for anyone. but it was great. the ending was perfect - just exactly how i expected it to end. you should read this book (but read the rest first!)
