Monday Morning Musings

Movies we saw over the past week include Hancock with Will Smith, Charlize Theron, and Jason Bateman. It was pretty good with a surprising twist.

Then we watched Wanted with Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, and James McAvoy. Another good movie, and since much of it was filmed in Chicago, there were familiar places.

We also rented The X-Files: I Want to Believe and Space Chimps. X-Files might well signal the end of the franchise as the storyline seemed to flow that way.

Space Chimps was well loved by the 8-year-old, who watched it three times. I watched it twice. It was very cute. Jeff Daniels was incredible as Zartog.

The voice went so well with the character and you wouldn’t know it was Daniels by listening. It’s quite funny with enough on the adult level for adult viewing. I highly recommend it as a Christmas or Hannukah gift for the kids.

Yesterday I went to the store for cookie ingredients so I’ll be baking soon!
