Christmas break is not just about eating a lot of good food and spending time with family and friends. For me, it's also about reading all the books and watching all the movies I don't have time to read/watch during the semester.
Top of the list: How to Train Your Dragon has to be one of my new favorite animated movies. Gorgeous music by John Powell (Bourne trilogy, Shrek, I Am Sam), adorable dragons, and none-too-shabby writing.
Also watched or re-watched:
A Few Good Men
Cinderella
Half-Nelson
And watching or re-watching
Nine
Arsenic and Old Lace
Rachel Getting Married
Black Swan
Also reading or re-reading
Grapes of Wrath
Mrs. Dalloway
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
Eurydice
Our Town
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
Unaccustomed Earth
And somewhere in there, I'll be celebrating Christmas and writing a thesis prospectus.
Details...
