Friday Night at the Movies – Freakanomics

Tonight The Girl and I are going to watch Freakanomics. It’s based on the best selling book by the same title. Basically, an economist attempts to answer what motivates people to make everyday decisions. He uses statistics to explain life’s most basic mysteries, like crime rates, poverty, etc.

The book got such great reviews, that I thought the movie might be a cool overview.

Amazon Prime Members can watch Freakanomics for free HERE.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it.

Happy Friday,

Mavis

Lucy the vegetable thief has discovered she likes French Breakfast radishes. What a stinker! Rain is in the forecast for the next 6 out of 7 days. Lately it’s just been raining at night, which is awesome, because I don’t have to water, but I’m hoping to do a little more garden clean up this weekend {mostly pulling weeds}. So a clear sky would be nice. We’ll see.

Friday Night at the Movies – Gandhi

Tonight The Girl and I are taking a step away from our standard food documentary to check out Gandhi. The documentary is a biography of Gandhi’s life. It attempts to re-enact his life, so it watches more like a movie than a documentary.

I remember watching this a long time ago and feeling moved by the man Gandhi was, so I am excited to watch it with my daughter to get her take on it.

Amazon Prime Members can watch Gandhi for free.

Happy Friday,

Mavis
