Movie reviews

Brian and I went to see Nanny McPhee this past weekend and WE LOVED IT! It is such a treasure of a movie and we highly recommend it! Emma Thomspon (who also wrote the screenplay) and Colin Firth are great-we're a little partial because they are two of our favorite actors. Nanny McPhee is just one of those movies that takes you back to the innocence of childhood and the idea of believing in magic and fairy tales and the fun of being mischievious. Our experience was made even more enjoyable by all the little children in the audience (I am pretty sure we were the only ones there without children.) and especially these two adorable little boys (about 3 and 5 years old) who giggled and laughed the whole time.

We also rented The Last Samurai from Netflix and watched that this past week. A great movie also...a real tearjerker for me. Some beautiful imagery, writing, and the historical aspects were fascinating.

Has anyone else seen these movies? What did you think?
