Two movies

Well, now that my Dissertation draft is turned in, we've actually rented a movie or two:

Mama Mia: I liked it, despite fully intending to not like it. Even if you're a grumpy old grouch like me, you should go rent it: an 88% chance that you'll be grinning and singing along, despite yourself.

The Holiday (2006): Pretty good, if you like Romantic Comedies (which we do). (Basic plot: one woman dumps a boyfriend for cheating on her, and another one gets frustrated over an ex-lover. They swap houses for a ''get away from it all'' two weeks: L.A. mansion vs. small English cottage.) Although I found the Cameron Diaz-Jude Law romance more plausible than the Kate Winslet-Jack Black hook-up (which seemed rather abrupt, to me.)
