In addition to watching the races on Saturday (Cassie was 3rd for her team and 33rd overall) and Sunday, we ate venison, played Scrabble, entertained the cats, and we watched movies of course.
The Town was much better than I expected. Director Ben Affleck has a confidence with his material. He balanced the crime caper action elements with some very interesting character development.
Coincidentally, Gone Baby Gone, another Affleck film which starred his younger brother Casey, was also in our NetFlix queue. I'd seen it before but Cassie hadn't. It's very strong, unflinching stuff, but it's cleverly plotted and has an interesting pace.
We needed something a little lighter so we picked Penelope, a 2006 comedy starring Cristina Ricci, from the Watch Instantly queue. It was whimsical and visually striking but the story was a little shy of being completely engaging.
