Having found our lost Netflix DVDs, we returned them and got 2 new ones! (What a concept!) We actually watched these 2 - An Education and A Serious Man.
Neither one blew my socks off, but I really enjoyed An Education. I LOVED the main character - she was a fantastic balance of smart, yet naive teen. Well played!
A Serious Man, while I didn't hate it, I is probably my least favorite Cohen Bros film yet. I had more appreciation for it after watching the extras, including and interview with the Brothers Cohen. I found myself getting repeatedly disgusted at the lead character for his passivity.
I wonder how long this round of movie watching will go? When our new BluRay player arrives, will it change? What happens when we get the monitor cord to hook up the mac to the new office TV? Will I never leave the house? It's a frightening thought.
