Movies I'm sure I watched because I see where I paid for them on Movielink:
- Jerry Maguire (first 45 minutes -- liars, this is not a remake of The Apartment!)
- Ella Enchanted (cute)
- Connie and Carla (bleh)
- Cold Mountain (hmm)
- The Prince and Me (eh)
- The Whole Ten Yards (eh)
- Mystic River (hrm)
- Tiptoes (bleh)
- The Perfect Score (eh)
- The Company (bailed pretty quickly)
Because of the recent student teaching, I remember seeing:
- Spirited Away (neat -- borrowed DVD from teacher)
- Becket (very good)
- Macbeth (Polanski's version -- good head roll)
- The Sword in the Stone (only saw bits -- seemed kind of kooky/loud)
And in a fit of late night desperation in the used DVD section:
- Le Divorce (bleh)
- Scotland, PA (haven't watched, just trying to get the numbers up here)
Unfortunately, I don't have a list of books. Which may be my way of covering up that while student teaching I only read magazine articles and stuff from the Outlander series. Since student teaching I've read a few things, but what were they? American Gods, already noted in another post. The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot. (An adult-age novel that seems to be an equally inventive prequel to Boy Meets Girl.) Er, Haunted, by Meg Cabot. (I can always claim adolescent fiction is for professional development.)
I know I've read more, other than the book I finished the other day, which gets its own post, by the by. I mean, I'm now on my third batch of library books since last week -- surely they haven't all been going back almost-unread? (Like Candace Bushnell's Trading Up and several well-intentioned books on algebra.)
Yawn.
Update (17 Dec 04)
Oh yes, I did watch Shaun of the Dead (good stuff) and also read Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (good if you liked the first one and wanted more), come to think of it.
