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:
