Babies

Friday night we rented the documentary Babies, and although I was a little skeptical at first it turned out to be really good. Usually I like to watch movies to escape whatever reality I'm currently living in and I was worried that spending two hours watching a movie about babies would sort of erase any free time I was experiencing without my own. But it was funny and fascinating to see the similarities and differences between how babies are raised around the world. I'm not sure if I entirely buy into the premise that they aren't trying to make any sort of statement with the film but I guess with any good art you can kind of do your own interpreting. I would highly recommend the film. As does our cat Stormy.

He has honestly never watched a movie or tv in the two years we've had him but he watched for nearly two whole hours. Maybe it was the numerous cats in the movie or maybe he was terrified that we'd suddenly added to our brood. I'm not sure but I think he breathed a sigh of relief when we turned it off and they all disappeared. I mean he's a patient kitty but there's a limit people!
