One of the things I did to stop me from overdoing it during this fortnight off college was to raid the DVD library at college and bring home some easy-watching films.
Last week I watched The Family Stone, which was definitely easy-watching, standard rom-com with Christmas theme and amusing mishaps with the inlaws.
Today I watched something in a different league altogether: Waitress. It was a real slow burner, dwelling on character development, with a very simple plot. The lead actress, Keri Russell, was sensational, so good at delivering outrageous lines in a dead pan manner. The lead actor was Nathan Fillion. The Sci-fi geeks among us might remember him as Mal in Firefly. It was also all about pie. Mmmmmm Pie.
