2001 - 2010
It being 2010, and me being a big sci-fi geek, I figured I would have to watch the film 2010 at some point. :o) I got it out of the library, and realized that I had a copy of 2001 that was in a boxed set I bought in the fall and hadn't watched yet, so I decided to make it a double bill.

The Silmarillion
This week we've been working our way through the Lord of the Rings again. I absolutely love those movies (even, dare I say it, more than the books), but haven't watched them in the past few years. Most importantly, it was the first time I'd seen them since reading the Silmarillion, Tolkien's history of the First Age of Middle-Earth ( Read more... )
