Last night, I saw two great movies.
The first, Little Miss Sunshine, made me laugh so hard that it crossed my mind that I should have brought my inhaler. This was only the fourth movie that I've seen in the theater in the past year, and numbers two and three weren't all awesome, so my perception might be skewed. But I don't think so. My parents watched MrMan, and Sam and I got to go out together, just the two of us. Earlier in the day, I was thinking that we probably needed such an opportunity and was wondering if my parents would be willing to babysit. And just then, my mom called from work, suggesting that maybe Sam and I would like to go to a movie in the evening. Great!
The second movie didn't make me laugh so hard. In fact, it made me tear up a bit. With sadness, but also with hope, and with amazement that the world we live in has 11-year-olds like Kalypso Homan, who made this movie about life in New Orleans one year after the storm*. I highly recommend setting aside 35 minutes and watching it.
*It is also available on YouTube.
