This morning I am watching the Hornets Nuggets game, hoping the Hornets can get it together and win! There are so many movies we still want to see, but they take a backseat to Basketball for now. I will try to not get sucked into the NFL draft today.

The list:
Slumdog Millionaire
Gran Torino (I am going to try to rent this today)
Revolutionary Road
The Wrestler
Defiance
State of Play
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Il Divo
Wendy and Lucy
The Reader (I want to see this one, I am going to try to fit it in this weekend.)

I have been listening to NPR's coverage of Detroit over the last few days and am inspired to take a deeper look at the city depicted in the arts. Did you know the original script for Gran Torino took place in Minneapolis and Clint Eastwood switched it to Detroit? The move was for a tax break and symbolism. Go Pistons!
