Last night, Harvard came over and brought the DVD for "The Count of Monte Cristo," a movie based on the book by Alexandre Dumas. An excellent movie I must say. John thinks it's the best movie of all time. I wouldn't say it was THAT good, but I really enjoyed watching it. It was full of adventure and was pretty funny, too. Another notable feature is that the girl's character in the movie is quite honorable and upstanding. Here's a quote from the movie:
Edmond: So what are you doing?
Pirate: I wish to bury one of my men alive because he stole some gold for himself on our last expedition, but the others wish that I show mercy. Yet I cannot show mercy or I will lose all control of the crew. I know. You will fight him in a knife fight. If he wins, I'll let him go free. If you win then you'll join us with a life of cutthroats and pirates.
Edmond: But what if I don't want to be a pirate or a cutthroat.
Pirate: Then we slit you throat and are done with you.
Edmond: I think that the life of a pirate is the one for me.
 If you haven't seen this movie, I would totally recommend watching it.
