Revolutionary Road

200px-Revolutionary_road

Last night we watched Revolutionary Road (2008,R).  From ScreenIt!:

A 1950s era couple must contend with their unhappy marriage as well as unexpected developments that threaten to derail the wife's plan to save their relationship and make them happy.

I couldn’t help thinking of Mad Men with DiCaprio’s character feeling like a slightly-more-hip Pete Campbell.  Also, somehow the dysfunctional families and mood of this film somehow reminded of those in Ang Lee’s The Ice Storm.

I give it 4 out of 5.

Nerf Gun Battle Christmas Evening

The boys had a kids vs. adults dart gun battle Christmas evening in the grandparents’ basement.  This is a common activity at Grandma/Grandpa B’s house, but this time was unusual because I participated too.  Each round you were out if you took two hits.  Here are some photos and a video:
