Movies Watched--2013-2014
I am pulling this list together from multiple places for multiple reasons. If I ever have a wrong take on a movie or you want to propose an alternate viewpoint, PLEASE do. I'm watching these in a vacuum (aka missing discussion/classroom discussion, even occasionally). Also, Please don't mistake any "snarky-ness" that sneaks in for my total opinion of a picture. I am looking at multiple aspects of a picture. Even if I don't care for a movie, often I notice how well written it was, or the great camera shots, or what they've chosen to do with the music that works well (etc.). Nor does negative comments about a picture automatically mean I didn't enjoy myself, or that positive comments mean there was nothing to critique. Note: To see more of my movie reactions/reviews than what I have posted here, see http://stilldeepwater.blogspot.com/

Another trial for Henry is the fact that his son, Prince Hal, keeps company with the older, reprobate drunkard Sir John Falstaff. Though the prince is his friend he is not above playing cruel jests on Falstaff, robbing him in disguise and returning his money after Falstaff has given an exaggerated account of his bravery in the hold-up.
