Music and Movies

Whew, almost back to the present!

This weekend was Adam's band's fall concert. It went really well, I think, and the band sounded great. Matt and Steven happened to be down in KC, and got to hear it. Maybe he'll write up a review in his blog (hint, hint).

Also been seeing a ton of movies lately, after a long drought. Tis the season, I guess. Good Night and Good Luck: thoughtful and engrossing, so much so that I swore the theatre smelled like cigarette smoke afterwards. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Not quite as amazing as the third installation, but still very good, especially towards the end.

Tomorrow night I'm off to see a sneak preview of Rent, a film I've literally been waiting years for. All through my junior high and high school years, it was the show, the one everyone owned, memorized, and quoted at length. Kauffman kids should probably use Holy Grail for a comparison. And they got the original Broadway cast back together for the film. You could say I'm looking forward to it.

Coming soon: Chronicles of Narnia and Brokeback Mountain, not to mention Wicked in St Louis. "It's the most wonderful time of the year..."
