out of five

There has been eating and drinking and merrymaking in spades, the holidays are going swimmingly. What is it about this season that makes it okay to have sugar cookies, butter horns, and hot tea for breakfast? Whatever it is, I like it. Here are some films we’ve watched lately, starred out of five:

There was no consensus at all on Munich, the mister insisted that I tell you. We watched it with my family and we were split well down the middle: half of us thought it was brave and balanced, the other half thought it was boring and biased. The four-star rating above represents the right half, of course.

At the moment, I am warmly ensconced in Jonathan Franzen’s embrace: The Corrections is an impeccable book, I commend it to you without reservation.

I’m with you on the 4 stars on Munich – had to get it in there. And thanks for the recommendation on The Corrections, it has been sitting on my shelf for at least a couple of years, I will definitely crack the spine soon.

I’ve heard lots of good things about Munich! I guess I need to go see it. Isn’t The Corrections a great book? I loved it!

Ah, thank you for reminding me that I have that book on my shelf and no godly reason for not having read it yet. Have a happy new year!
