It struck me the other day, June 20th to be exact, that it was after 9pm and still light outside. I thought, hmm, it must be near the solstice. The solstice this year I believe was June 21st (but I could be wrong, I know its around there). Ellice just looked it up while I'm blogging and most of the time, including this year, it falls on the 21st. It struck me that we usually don't notice such changes that are so subtle until they are right upon us, and they are half over. Why this is important, I have no idea.
Since my last post, we have played two games in our softball tournament (won 1, lost 1, dble elimination), went to a picnic in Winchester, and of course....Movies!!!
Nancy Drew
A very charming, campy movie. I was a fan of the Hardy Boys books when I was little, (what preteen wasn't a fan of at least one or the other), and read a few Nancy Drews. So some fairly high expectations going in, but they pulled it off. I got what I expected from this movie, and perhaps was a little surprised. This one won't win any awards and probably won't be one I remember two years from now but entertaining; a welcome refresher in the middle of Blockbuster summer. **1/2
Evan Almighty
I expected another Bruce Almighty, and while I modestly enjoyed the first, this incarnation is far and away the better of the two. It was cleaner than the first and dare I say reverent? I know that some from the Church are concerned about this one and its treatment of God. While I won't get into the plot of the movie (spoilers are no fun), let's say that there is little if anything heretical about this movie. In fact, there is some provocative theology mixed in here. While its not quite Sunday School, this is a very positive movie and I recommend it for everyone. ***

Well I had better go see both then. :)
Ditto that!
It's good to hear that Evan Almighty wasn't anti-religious. I was worried about that.
