In the tradition of taking the fun out of things by scheduling them each week we have a movie night.
The kids watch a movie that they want and then when they go to bed my Wife and I watch one as well.
We have been working our way through the Top 100 movies list from IMDB for the last 12 months or so and the other night we hit number 48, Gladiator.
Gladiator was the first DVD I ever bought and it is the only movie I can remember taking my Dad to see at the cinema.
So far in this list we have seen all sorts of things, from modern big budget movies to old black and white subtitled Japanese films! Its been interesting to say the least!
The current list is HERE, it will be different to the one we are working off as ratings change over time but still worth doing :)

Lots of stuff
So this is a bit random... I know it's been 10 days since I last posted, even I started missing myself.
Anyway a few random thoughts/things....
I know this is almost turning into a board game blog but we are spending lots of family time playing them recently. We picked up Pandemic and lost (Sorry world) and today our other expansion for Castle Panic turned up and we will give that a shot tomorrow night. We have a few more games ordered for upcoming birthdays and have a list of titles that we are looking, if only they were a bit cheaper :)
Another round of the V8's has been and gone and I must congratulate V8 Supercars on their progress. They have managed to turn me from someone who used to attend all of the local race meetings, into someone who made sure they always watched the race coverage on TV live and now into someone who grabs a delayed coverage and watches it by pressing the 30 second skip button all the way through. Who knows where I will go from here!
What else do I have to say? Hmmmm
The little monitors are growing up and I'll probably do a post about them and put up some photos soon. Oh I had an awesome customer the other day as well... but that's all I'm going to say about that :D
Castle Panic 15 - 3 :)
Wizards Tower 2 - 4 :(
Pandemic 0 - 1 :(
