Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, and it was quite good. Looking forward to seeing the conclusion since we never read the books — just too many of them. In the "better late than never" category, we checked out
Torchwood, a Dr. Who spin-off, which has just started its fourth season and moved from its original UK setting to the US. It's weird, but we enjoyed our introduction to the series.
