Monster House 3D

I took my 2 little ones to see Monster House 3D, at Castle Hill

See Monster House (PG) in 3D!

They loved it.

The SMH has a review

Monster House: a spooky story for kids.

Lots of 3D movies coming out too, which is interesting to note.

Footy Tipping Results : Round 22

The end of the season.

I got 4 right. Again, I let my tipping be based on how I wanted things to end, rather than reflecting reality. I was hopeful things could fall the Saints way. I was wrong

Week 22
Home Draw Away
Bulldogs (22.15 147) Bombers (18.17 125)
Tigers (12.13 85) Eagles (26.17 173)
Crows (23.14 152) Demons (14.10 94)
Lions (7.15 57) Saints (16.12 108)
Dockers (23.13 151) Power (9.18 72)
Swans (21.10 136) Blues (6.8 44)
Hawks (21.7 133) Cats (10.12 72)
Magpies (20.19 139) Kangaroos (10.11 71)

My tipping  has me with 108 correct tips for the season. I don't know how I've done in the tipping comp, but I am sure I didn't win.

The Saints have ended up 6th on the ladder and play an elimination final next week against Melbourne at the MCG.
