Evening Quickies
I enjoyed the audio book version of The Tale of Despereaux, which seems to have undergo a few changes in movie form, but the fact the latter would be a bit dark shouldn't have been a surprise. The book was rather dark too, from the runt of the litter being the only survivor beginning on. I do agree that ratings, for films of all ages, can be dubious things. See more here. "Elections have consequences." Finally, the games yesterday were closer than the final scores suggest -- a few key moments turning them around.
