  1. I really like your mix of classics like Treasure of Sierra Madre and modern movies. I still want to see Star Trek: Into Darkness and Iron Man 3. We actually stopped watching Les Miserables after the "Master of the House" song... I really want to see what happens with Javert and Jean ValJean though, so we'll probably get the clean version. :)

    1. Yes - I try to mix it up, and can always expand out of my comfort zone a little more. About Le Mis - you should read my MTC teacher's blog post about it. I don't know why you decided to quit watching it, but perhaps some of the reasons she mentions in her post might seem applicable. It is one of the greatest Atonement stories I know of, but it certainly isn't all pretty!
