Leap Day Post

It's been cold, wet, snowy and disgusting outside lately, which has caused me to spend my time watching entirely too many movies and old episodes on tv shows. Here are my movie and telvision reviews:

Atonement - Amazing story with a touching ending.
Writer Briony Tallis, as a 13-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister's (Keira Knightley) lover (James McAvoy) of a crime he did not commit.

August Rush - A touching movie with fairy tale elements, where an orphaned musical prodigy uses his gift as a clue to finding his birth parents. I am a sucker for happy endings. My favorite character would have to be the little girl in the church choir. She has an amazing voice and "Raise It Up!" should have won the Oscar for best song.

Michael Clayton - I thought the movie moved too slow and I couldn't really get into it.

Jumper - Very entertaining, but the plot was a little "jumpy".

Battlestar Galactica - Matt and I have been slowly watching all 3 seasons of Battlestar Gallactica over the past couple of months and I am addicted. However, the character Starbuck is really annoying and every time she's put in danger I wish they would kill off the character. My favorite character would have to be Sharron, it's nice to see a her being accepted my humans even though she's a cylon. I can't wait for new episodes in April.

Lost - Could this show get any more confusing, every episode brings more unanswered questions. I really want to know who the Oceanic 6 are and why does Kate have a son named Aaron?!? Despite my confusion, I still can't wait for Thursday nights!
