<p>In addition to movies and books ‘I just don’t get’ (Babel, History Boys) …I’ve been pleasantly surprised lately by a few for which I had little to no expectations.</p>

<p>The most recent one for me was the movie “Breach”. Pretty darned good! Figured I wouldn’t hate it because I love Chris Cooper; but was a little ambivalent because of the casting of ‘Pouty Lips’ Philippe. But I was…‘pleasantly surprised’ by how well this story was told. </p>

<p>How about it…anyone else care to steer us toward a good movie or book that we might not check out otherwise?</p>

<p>I love this sweet little show on the learning channel, tlc…called “I have nothing to wear”- a reality show, but no contests, just sweet talented people with sweet clients and its light and fun</p>

<p>I also love Shrek sure we have seen it, but it is refreshing </p>

<p>Enjoyed Breach</p>

<p>and didn’t think I would like the movie The Hours, but did</p>

<p>As for books, hmmmm, What If, a book about history and What if scenarios</p>
