The One With Napoleon

 

 

Tonight was the traditional Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It is always a fun day.

At school,  we were supposed to have our annual Turkey Trot. Alas, it got rained out. However, we did watch a movie in school - the Hunger Games. I forgot how good that was.

 After school, I got home and we went out to eat lunch. It was actually a flashback to the past - we hit The Outback Steakhouse for a pleasant respite.

Although we were all tired, we also brought back another old tradition - the day before Thanksgiving movie. We went out and saw Napoleon. Now, originally, I was not into seeing this movie. But, then I thought - quirky real life leader meets quirky actor. How could you not see that!

And needless to say, it did not disappoint. Sure, it was a bit of a wacky movie, but Joaquin Phoenix did a great job. He brought Napoleon to life in so many ways. It was a bit accentric...and a little bit over the top - but it was awesome.
