Summer movies

I've now had the pleasure of seeing both Shrek 2 and Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban. I was a bit worried about the first; there was so much advertising and toys, etc. before it actually came out that I thought it was a marketing scam, but it turned out to be a pretty funny and enjoyable movie, if somewhat predictable. It's definitely one I'll want to get on DVD. There were a lot of fine point details and I'm sure I missed some with only one viewing.

The Harry Potter film was also rather predictable, but only because I had read the book. I found it to be a quite enjoyable and well put together film even though it left out quite a bit from the book. I assume more and more will be left out of each following movie as each new book is longer than the last. Still, the main points of the story were fairly well captured and it was an engaging tale.

I seeded a bit of clover last week and again Saturday night. I have a several small plants sprouting here and there and hope to have more soon. If all goes well, I may never have to mow my lawn again. ;-)
