Two more movies

  1. The Lego Movie: an enjoyable, fast-paced anti-conformity romp.  Who would have thought that a movie in which everything is made of Legos could be this much fun.  I found myself humming "Everything is Awesome" all next day.  A nice little twist at the end.  2.5 stars, recommended for all.
  2. Odd Thomas:  I believe I am current on the books, which are "oddly" engaging.  This movie captures the spirit of the character of Odd Thomas, and makes me wonder if I really read the first book.  Also 2.5 stars, good but not great, not suitable for the youngest among us but recommended for teens on up.
