Movies Worth Watching

So much junk out there - will not even bother to mention them. Here are some worth watching:

1. The Business of Being Born
Found this documentary absolutely fascinating. The stats are sobering - when did women stop trusting our own bodies? The film does wander a little, but is worth sticking with.

2. Religulous
Wow! Another eye opener in many ways. Kept waiting for lightening to strike as I watched it.

3. Harry Potter Series
We are watching our way through the series in order - about one a week, and loving it. There are moments of breathtaking creativity and imagination in these stories. If you have not read the books - what are you waiting for?

4. Valkyrie
How does one make this story so boring? Cannot begin to tell you how disappointed I was with it. When will Hollywood learn that simply having "sexy Nazis" is not enough? Tell the story in a compelling way. Cannot think of the last time I was rooting for Nazis in such a manner - how did they blow this?
