So, inspired by Alice I've decided to start a World Stamp Collection too. But I'm using a very old stamp book that I found in an antique store, so some of the countries don't exist any more, in which case I'm looking for either old stamps from that country OR that country's modern counterpart - e.g. Abyssinia --> Ethiopia. In these cases the modern country is (in brackets). ^^

• Pitch Perfect - 5/5 - this was hilarious and great and fun and yes the first film I saw in 2013 gets a 5/5
• Melinda and Melinda - 3/5 - not exactly high on plot but the actors (Chloë Sevigny in particular) are a joy to watch

• Manhattan - 4/5 - so beautifully shot and poignant AND funny (Diane Keaton I love you so)
• Les Misérables - 5/5 oh my. beautiful.
• The Iron Lady - 3/5 okay this was quite interesting but I didn't have that much sympathy for the older Margaret and I would have liked to see more about her intentions as a young woman and rise to power... it all seemed quite over-simplified but ...
