Quickie Movie Reviews

Yesterday we all went to see Balls of Fury, the silly comedy about ping pong. It was silly, all right, but better than I'd expected and an all right time at the movies. Saturday night we spent the evening at the annual block party, talking with a few neighbors until 10 or 11 at night. Cleo's friend Sarah and our niece Andrea spent the night, and so did Iris's friend Ruby.

Today Cleo was off with zoo pals. I worked in the yard then went with Iris and Amy to see Once. A nice little movie about an Irish busker and an immigrant he meets. A sort-of love story that was enjoyable, if not particularly stunning. Not much of a plot, a lot of very nice songs and a good job at capturing a certain something. Made in Dublin, the movie had locations I recognized from our trip there in 1999.
