Just as well I'm lazy

I'd had a few DVDs from Amazon lying around at home for most of December, not having got round to watching them. We got round to watching Sideways on Christmas Day - which is a nice film - but I had two other DVDs sitting there waiting: both of which are Chinese director Zhang Yimou films. I wasn't sure I was in the mood for more martial arts adventures, so I was getting to the point of just sending them back unviewed. However I never got round to taking them to the postbox: just as well I'm lazy. At a loose end yesterday evening, I bunged on The Road Home - and me, Helen and Sophie (Judy was otherwise engaged looking for a tooth which had fallen out earlier that evening) were transfixed for 86 minutes, slack-jawed with admiration at this beautiful and touching film. Usually Helen is critical of my DVD choices, but on this occasion she has vouchsafed a modicum of appreciation.
