Netflix!

My brother and I have been, since Christmas, sharng a Netflix account.

*

Battlestar Galactica (The Miniseries, and Season 1 Disc 1)

Very slow-paced, and alternating between bits which are extremely will-to-powery (Roslin!) and those which aren't. Mostly, I've spent most of the time lusting after Specialist Cally. I mean, seriously.



Will definitely keep watching, if only for Specialist Cally. ETA: And BSG is totally Harry Potter in space.

*

Big Love (Season 1 Disc 1)

It's like a freaky Veronica Mars AU. Not really my thing, although of course Tina Majorino is teh awesome, but there's enough to keep me interested.

*

Arrested Developement (Season 1 Discs 1+2)

A wonderful tale about a boy in love with his cousin. Wait, what do you mean there are other plotlines?

*

The DaVinci Code

Better movie than for which it seemed to be given credit. Audrey Tatou's and Ian McKellan's performances were of course excellent. Taking anything out of a Dan Brown novel seriously is a little silly, but I respect the intent. The foolishness from Holy Blood, Holy Grail--which in the novel never struck me as anything more than a convenient McGuffin--was certainly taken far too seriously. And the vibes of anti-Catholicism I never got from the book did suddenly seem to be present. Still, I mostly liked it.

Over the Hedge

William Shatner and Avril Lavigne make the most adorablest father/daughter pair ever. Maybe even more than Keith/Veronica.

Looking at the pictures you've posted? I think I see your point. (Though *moreso* once I've seen actual episodes!) [livejournal.com profile] carla_scribbles has been telling me pretty much daily how much I will love Roslin, so... I'm very excited. (I wish I weren't so miserly or I'd actually *own* the show. Sigh.)
