It's based on the novel by Ian McEwan and is Joe Wright's "follow-up" movie to "Pride and Prejudice." I think this is the movie that will establish Keira Knightley as a "serious" actress. James McAvoy is amazing as Robbie Turner -- a man who is always caught between two worlds and the actress playing Briony is intense with her freaky blue eyes. O_O
Now I want to find a copy of the book. ^_^

No trips to the cinema for Johann and Tin --
We were really looking forward to watching National Treasure: Book of Secrets but we still haven't seen it. ~sigh~
It's been a series of sickness in our house -- first, Seth and then, Johann ... (and now I have a tickle in my throat) ~sigh~
We did get to see Bee Movie last week. I enjoyed it but I thought Matthew Broderick's character was underused.
I just hope they don't pull out the movies on Wednesday.

The most FUN birthday present --
This is what we got in the mail --
It came with a note from my youngest brother, explaining that he had planned to send us 30 bags of chips (to mark our 30th birthday) -- different flavors but he could only fit 20 in the box.
It's INSANE! He even labeled them -- we were really bouncing as we inspected each bag.
Here are some of the unique flavors --
Steak!
Bacon and Eggs!
Tonkatsu!
Snow Cheese!
Bonito and Plum!
This is one of the reasons why he couldn't fit all 30 bags.
This is the collector's edition of Ged's War Chronicles -- the first project of Hayao Miyazaki's son.
Joy and Jubilation! ^_^
