A Best Picture Oscar Nominee: JoJo Rabbit
Each year, Jenny and I try to see every movie nominated for “Best Picture.” This year, we have seen six of the nine films nominated and this one stood out (more to come). JoJo Rabbit is a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy named JoJo whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother is hiding a young Jewish girl in their attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler, JoJo must confront his blind nationalism. It’s weirdly interesting!
A Really Good Novel: The Dry by Jane Harper
After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke’s steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now more than one person knows they didn’t tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead.
A Really Good Show from Masterpiece Theatre: Jamestown
From the same folks that brought us Downton Abbey. Set in 17th-century Virginia, this drama series follows the lives of the first settlers in the English colony of Jamestown. Alice, Verity and Jocelyn arrive ready to marry three men in the colony who have paid for the women’s transition to the New World. But upon their arrival, they quickly recognize the power struggles within the community, which reach all the way up to the new governor and his staff.

A Quote from Frederick Keonig
“We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”
