Week in Review: November 12 - 17

Birthdays:  Only one birthday this week, Princes Charles, who is 64 this year.

Movies - We had a Daniel Craig theme this week, with a back-to-back of his James Bond movies, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall.  I loved them all, but my favourite of the bunch was Casino and my least favourite Quantum.  To celebrate the conclusion of our Bond marathon I also did up a note discussing all the movies.  I'm sure I'll do the non-Eon films, Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again, but I'm going to take a bit of a Bond break for now.

Books - This week we did the third Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. My biggest critique of this one was about the title, so yeah.  Actually, if I think about it, I have a lot of critiques about Hermione in this one, but that's a whole other story.

TV - TV show of the week was the third season of the absolutely awesome Downton Abbey.  I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more.  I'm already anxiously waiting for the Christmas special and season 4.

Recommendations - Because we missed a bit, I tried to just quickly cover a bunch of movies that have been released, either to threatre or DVD lately.  The ones that I'm most looking forward to are Wreck-It RalphLincoln, and Anna Karenina, but the previously mentioned Skyfall was also recommended.

Next Week - Up next week is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Wreck-it-Ralph, and the third season of Face Off.  I'm not sure about any other movies, we'll see.

Requests -Any requests? Let me know!
