3 Down, 17 to Go

Roger Ebert posted his picks for the 20 best films of 2008. Of the 20, I've seen only 3: "Iron Man," which I loved (review here); "Frozen River," which I also loved (review here); and "The Dark Knight," which I didn't love (review here). I've added nearly all of the others to my Netflix queue, which is growing even more quickly than before due to Steph's later bedtime—we can't start watching anything of questionable appropriateness until she's in bed, and by then we're getting tired too. I currently have 395 movies in my queue. No, that is not a typo. We'll have to try to make a major dent in that list next summer when Steph is at sleepaway camp for 7 weeks!

I'm sure I've seen NONE of them. I did get Iron Man for my younger daughter for Christmas, so maybe I'll get to watch it before she takes it back to college.

I watched far too many movies this past week while my son was recuperating. We did see Ironman and also loved it!

Thanks for linking to your reviews. My 4-year-old has been asking for "Ironman," as of course all of the merchandise is marketed at kids his age and up. However, I sensed that the movie (which I haven't seen) would be WAY too much for him and your review confirmed it.

Oh we've watched a lot of movies in this cold weather already. We've been taking advantage of the free redbox codes from momadvice http://www.momadvice.com/blog/ My sleep is suffering! :)
