The Trilogy Meter
I figured I would share this. This is a fairly accurate rating of several different movie trilogies, in my opinion.

Movie weekend
I decided to watch a few movies this week and catch up on some R&R. Nothing spectacular, but I downloaded way more movies than I could watch in one weekend. And I also came close to breaking my transfer cap on Rogers, which I will post about later. Here are the movies I watched this weekend:
Old School: older, but funny
Slumdog Millionaire: awesome story, just a tad overhyped though
Return to Paradise: older, but a decent movie
Seven Pounds: a bit long, a bit boring at times, but was entertaining overall
I think there was another movie in there somewhere, but I can’t remember. I also watched part of the second season of Life which doesn’t count as a movie.
