The Avengers: I guess I forgot to write about this movie, I really liked it, much more than any of the other Avenger movies, it was nice to have the background though and to be able to put some things together. It was fun to see that the diva attitudes come together. Recommend it.

From Up on Poppy Hill: I've really been excited to see this latest Miyazaki movie, it's not as fantastical as the average Miyazaki movie but it was really good. It is helpful to have background knowledge of Japan in the time period, which one of the friends I watching with was able to provide (history majors are pretty useful to have around).

Schultze Gets the Blues: I had high hopes for this movie, a German polka man retires and discovers zydeco. As I watched it though I found myself thinking back to when I watched Waking Ned Divine, it was a nice, sweet story but the pacing and filming style are radically different from what I'm used to. I probably wouldn't watch it again but it was a nice show.  Oh, ps, this is a German movie if I didn't mention that before. Note: I was both shocked and unimpressed by the use of the "N" word in this movie at one point.
