alixtiiMy 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.

I've req'd BSG from the library. In just 120 days, it will be mine. For two weeks. Other than that, perhaps I should consume the media I already own.
