The Week in Entertainment

Film: Captain Abu Ra'ed, a wonderful, sweet, and sad Jordanian movie.

DVD: Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen.

TV: Psych, not one of the best episodes, in fact rather forgettable. Warehouse 13 took a good notion and lost momentum. Seriously - Myka's whole storyline was tritely predictable, even her own memory of the event included her ordering her dead partner not to do what he did. Leverage had some very nice character moments in it. City of Ember, a very good adaptation of the book, which I love. Adam & Steve, a sweet little boy-meets-boy movie with a kickin' gay two-step dance-off at the end. Plus one of the all-time great lines: "I'm tired of fighting you and the whole world just so I can have something as radical and subversive as a fucking boyfriend. Fuck you, Steve: I may be damaged goods but I am goods nonetheless."

Read: Three Cups of Tea, about Greg Mortenson's school building (that is building schools) in Pakistan. It was a fast and engaging read - very interesting. Started Why Evolution Is True, which I've heard good things about, and so far, so good.
