We have started a new tradition at our house. Each Saturday night, one of us picks a movie and we all watch it together. Now, we have four different takes on the movie that we can talk to death. At our house, we all have very strong opinions. It also gives us an opportunity to see a movie we may not have ever watched otherwise. Have fun trying to figure out who picked which movie. Movie night!

Fargo. Have you seen it? I’ve put off doing this update on the movies that we’ve been watching for months now. Why? Because what can I say about this movie that has not been said already. Seriously. Let’s use all of the adjectives: outstanding, amazing, funny, terrible – in a good way – incredible, fascinating, witty, brilliant, intelligent, original….
It’s all of those things and more. If you’ve never seen this movie, you need to go watch it tonight. To quote from the iconic words of the late, great Roger Ebert “one of the best films I’ve ever seen.” I couldn’t agree more.
Everything about this movie is unparalleled. The writing, the acting, the directing, the editing, the music….. ALL of it.
Don’t wait! I promise that you won’t regret it. If you are going to watch something on your TV, this movie is well worth the 98 minutes of your life.
