Movies and shows

We are slowly catching up on some movies we have wanted to see.  Last week it was "Philomina" in the theater and two nights ago it was "The Life of Pi".  Both were extremely well done with good messages which I always love.  The Life of Pi was full of incredible special effects that kept us asking, "how do they DO that??"   A couple weeks ago we got tickets to see a live performance of Mama Mia at the Univ. of AZ.  What a fun time with all the great Abba music.  It's just hard to not sing along.   I finished a good book, called Lionel and Charlotte, by Stanley Weintraub.  These two were part of the Jewish Rothschild family, or I should say, dynasty during the 1800s.  Very interesting as a family how devoted they were to each other.  Marrying outside the family was very rare and frowned upon.
