the list is long and distinguished

What a fantastic evening. Mike and I went to Tyler and Amy's for a Cinco de Mayo get-together, and we had a great time hanging out with them and another couple they're friends with and enjoying some awesome food. Yay for Mexican (and Jewish?) holidays! Also, yay for snuggly wiener dogs. The other couple brought their adorable doxie with them, and I stole him for, like, half the time we were there.

After we got home, Mike and I watched The Illusionist. Wow. It sounded interesting enough that it made it on our "to watch" list, but I had no idea how good it was going to be. The ending completely surprised me, although Mike had it nailed before it happened, and I thought that overall the movie was well done. I've liked Edward Norton since I saw him in American History X, and I think Jessica Biel is attractive now that she's not on Seventh Heaven anymore. The guy who played the prince looked and sounded familiar, and I couldn't figure out where I'd seen him before. I puzzled over that for the whole movie before giving in and looking him up on IMBD.com...turns out he played Kate Winslet's ex-boyfriend in The Holiday. It's a good thing I looked it up because I doubt I'd have figured that out on my own.
