Ratatouille

It’s an animated movie about a rat who wants to be a chef. Absolutely amazing!

Farthing

A murder mystery set in an alternate history where Britain made peace with Nazi Germany and the US never entered the war, this is a good, fun novel.

Indiana Jones

We watched the first three movies again before watching the latest Indiana Jones movie and enjoyed all of them.

Iron Man

Iron Man is a decent superhero movie, worth watching, though it’s no Spider Man or Batman Begins.

The Departed

It is a Martin Scorsese crime movie. What more can I say to get you to watch it?

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The Kid was frightened at some of the fight scenes but was otherwise engrossed in this movie.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I expected to love this movie, but I didn’t like it at all.

Old Man’s War

This first novel by John Scalzi is a gripping story of a 75 year old who joins the colonial army to help humans colonize space.

National Treasure

This is a treasure hunt movie involving the Declaration of Independence. I rate it 4/10.

The Battle of Algiers

It’s a classic and seems strangely poignant these days when we are all reading about insurgencies and counterinsurgency.
