Round 2: Entertainment from the Heart

Feb 11, 2015

For this week's Round 2, Terri and Catherine looked at entertainment related to Valentine's Day, which (warning to the unprepared) is coming up this weekend. Catherine gave a thumbs-up review to The Hundred-Foot Journey, with a couple of romances making it worthy Valentine's viewing. Catherine and Terri both gave a squeamish thumbs-down to the idea of seeing 50 Shades of Grey in a movie theater with people or really anywhere or even the trailers or the book or really, can we just scrub it out of our brains? On a sweeter note, Terri talked about the many adorable romances and friendshps on Parks and Recreation, and shared a list of her favorite love-themed episodes. And for those for whom Valentine's Day is a little melancholy, Terri recommended two gorgeous recordings to wallow in: a mash-up of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" and "Style" by Louisa Wendorff and Devin Dawson, which started life as a viral video and is now available on iTunes, and the sad ballad "Just Like It Sounds" on Dawson's SoundCloud page. What are you watching, reading, or listening to this Valentine's week?
