stapsreads1. Toy Story 3
Full disclosure: the first time I saw Toy Story was 17th August 2010. The first time I saw Toy Story 2 was 18th August 2010. I can't claim, therefore, that this destroyed or validated or did anything much to my childhood. Nor did it make me cry - not quite, anyway. But it was a lot of fun. Will watch again. (My sister-in-law has one of the disturbing strawberry-scented bears. Wahrgarbl.)
2. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
My father-in-law, half-Polish, claims that the word 'Polish' could easily replace 'Greek' in this, but for me it was uncomfortably reminiscent of my own, huge, but otherwise boringly English, family. Perhaps all happy families are alike.
Anyway, I enjoyed this, in a switch-your-brain-off kind of way. I loved the way that Toula got up and did things for herself. It was a pity that there wasn't any real kind of conflict, and the chap just let things happen, but still. A good one for times of little brain.
