We spent the day indoors today and watched three different movies. Count ‘em! THREE different movies! What a way to spend a Sunday! Philippa was exhausted after her busy day of buying shoes yesterday, and my thighs were aching like an old woman’s hips after all my cycling, so we settled down on the sofa and indulged in some Home Cinema Heaven. I have to admit that “The Fault In Our Stars” wouldn’t have been my first choice, but Philippa was very keen, and it turned out to be much better than I expected. Shailene Woodley is such a terrific actress. If she doesn’t win an Oscar within the next 5 years I’ll shave my eyeballs and never watch films again. (I’m confident everyone will forget this pledge and I’ll never be held to it in the future…) Next we took a look at “Edge of Tomorrow” which was a bit of silly fun and very well plotted indeed for a mindless action sci-fi. And we ended our trifecta with a classic - the Woody Allen film “Annie Hall.” (I know a trifecta is a betting term and not applicable to film-watching, but it’s a nice sounding word and deserves more use, so bite me…) I’m really tempted to put something else on now and make it Four-In-One-Day, but I fear I’d fall asleep before the end of the first half-hour. It’s amazing how tiring it is watching seven hours worth of films!
