Weekend Wrapup

Kim and I had our annual Hockey Game Night with Andrew and Jenny and were fortunate enough to be treated to a barn-burner of a game. We left happy after the Sens won 6-5 in a game that went back and forth all night. The first period was a little slow as the teams tried to figure out what to do after their brawl last Thursday night when they last faced off, but the second and third periods were end to end with lots of action; fights, goals, and passes. Four out of five stars.

On Sunday Kim and I took in a movie by going to see The Number 23. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect except that the previews made it look like a mind thriller. We weren't disappointed.

The movie was intense with lots of thinking and guesswork that really made me enjoy it. I never knew what was going to happen next and for me that is a rare occurrence as I have a gift for sniffing out plot lines and twists before they happen. This time I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie. Both Kim and I gave it full marks and we'll probably add it to our collection.

I will warn you: this movie is not filled with car chases, fight scenes, cool CGI, or naked college freshmen. It is filled with thought-provoking concepts, great acting, and an enthralling story. Highly recommend it.
