The holidays are a great time to watch movies (GOOD BLOGGING). For one thing, movies offer a break from spending time with your loved ones (enough already, loved ones, we get it! You love us!). For another thing, they are very rarely shown outdoors in the winter, and so they also offer a break from the crippling cold. I watched a bunch of movies over the break for both of these reasons. And also for the reason that I love watching movies! I only saw one movie in the theater, actually. That movie was called Sherlock Holmes, and it was great. Like, it was a little corny, and I am pretty sure I did all the green screen CGI backgrounds myself on my Nintendo DS Lite, but it was exactly what you wanted it to be. It was a romp! (P.S. I say romp now. I’m a person who will talk about a movie and say that it was a romp and mean it.) Also Robert Downey Jr.? More like Robert CHARMING Jr., right you guys?! But I also watched lots of movies on DVD (that’s right, I own a DVD player).
Here are the movies I watched, with a one word review of each:
- Being There Good
- For a Few Dollars More Great
- The Hurt Locker Great
- Vicky Christina Barcelona Bad
- Primer Good
- Harry Potter And the Half-Blood Prince Bad
- Tyson Good
- The Carter Great
Pretty cool. Anyway, I just wanted to make this a safe place for you guys to share what movies you saw over the break, new and old, and your thoughts about them. Remember, no one can hurt you in here. I don’t think. That may or may not be true. It might be entirely possible for someone to hurt you in here. BE CAREFUL!

Home Alone on Antique’s Roadshow VHS.
Up in the Air Great
Sherlock Holmes Deece
Yikes, I thought Sherlock Holmes was pretty stupid. That villain was terrible. He built a special machine that releases a toxic chemical that will kill everybody except for the few in his little club that drank the SPECIAL ANECDOTE? How does this make any sense? Scooby Doo himself would have been shaking his head at these dumb explanations.
Anecdotes are so delicious!
Oh no….my worst videogum nightmare just came true.
You didn’t drink the anecdote!
Nope I didn’t! I feel like that guy in Sherlock Holmes who gets rained on with secret poison/gasoline and tries to shoot the bad guy (in this case, the “bad guy” is my brain) but blows up instead while everybody else is drinking the anecdote. That’s basically me right now.
Don’t you get it? The anecdote made them oblivious to the poison!
Your points are valid. But I didn’t think about any of the logistics during the movie. It was fun and funny, and it looked great! Sometimes it’s okay to turn your brain off for 2 hours and just enjoy a movie.
Besides the delicious anecdote, I have to agree with you. Sherlock Holmes was pretty bad. My favourite part was how Robert Downy Jr. and Rachel McAdams were running away from the slow-motion explosion, and the very last second, they change their mind, and run into it? Hmmm…
Yeah, that part reminded me of Bad Boys II with the cars rolling down the freeway in slow motion only instead of SUVs, it was Robert Downey Jr. and Rachel McAdams. I also like how Jude Law only suffers a broken arm after that explosion, and is back in fighting form over the course of a day. Lucky guy!
You are a funny, understanding group of commenters and I appreciate that.
I literally fell asleep twice during the first half, and I was very well-rested. (Also, “anecdote” could have happened to anyone! Who ever has to write “antidote”?)
Seesh, I’m on a roll. I meant to reply to Lindsay’s comment.
Ghostbusters 1 and 2 are all I can remember. Awesome as always.
There was a lot of crap reality tv mixed in there as well. Did you know some people eat 33,000 calories a day? Fact.
while watching these on tv, i realized that i have never actually seen ghostbusters 1. i got really freaked out by the idea that i thought i had but hadnt actually, and turned it off. i returned when the more comforting and familiar ghostbusters 2 came on.
I watched The Usual Suspects (good) and 9. 9 was close, but the pacing was a disaster. I also watched Ghost Town (I’m still not sure why…) and saw Sherlock Holmes, and, yes, it was the romp of the holiday season. Good stuff.
Oh, and, of course, Avatar. Like I even need to mention that I saw Avatar. Everyone saw Avatar. And everyone made too big of a deal out of Avatar. It was very good, though.
Up – GREAT
Wall E – SUPER
Avatar – GOOD
The Soloist – GOOD
Body of Lies – LEO
Peter Pan (1953) – RACIST
The Princess and the Frog – PRINCESS FROG DADDY (her review)
I have a 2 1/2 year old for the record….Happy New Year!
The Soloist? More like the SO-SOloist. I thought that the plot was too short to make a movie out of it, and it kind of ended abruptly.
I watched Peter Pan as well with some friends and we all had the same reaction as you…it has been years since I have seen that movie and I forgot how blatantly racist Disney use to be.
Sherlock Homes: Fun
Nine: So-so
Up in the Air: Bummer
Oh god I HATED VICKI CRISTINA BARCELONA. Seriously I was *this close* to nominating it for WMOAT. Do you see how close that is??
Thank you, Gabe, for having this opinion that is also my opinion.
Night at the Museum 2 – cute
Julie & Julia – cuter
Get on the Bus – preacherrific!
Polyester – great
The Crossing Guard – awful
Kids in the Hall Season 3 – oh yeah
Whoops! Well, as long as I’m here, VCB was indeed terrible.
Notion seconded. It was bad. So. Very. Bad.
Doctor Parnassus – Posthumous
Mean Girls: The source of so many pop culture references!
The Office, Season One: Everyone’s hair was so bad!
did any else wonder, 20 minutes into the 30 minute boxing scene dropped in the middle of sherlock holmes, how exactly it was advancing the plot? don’t get me wrong – it might have been my favorite part of the movie. but wow, that went on for a while.
Fantastic Mr. Fox – Fantastic
I almost went to see The Hurt Locker and then I saw on IMDB that it was directed by the same lady who did Point Break, and let’s face it, you can’t bottle lightning twice.
Kathryn Bigelow is my God.
Fantastic Mr Fox – Fantastic
Serenity – Epic
Zombieland – LMFAO (That’s a five word review, so disqualified)
Ferris Bueler – Riot
“What the Hell Abe?” – My catch phrase of the decade courtesy of Primer.
The Hangover – great
Star Trek – great
I Love You, Man – good
Up in the Air – meh
Charlie Bartlett – okay
“Being There” is one of my all-time favourites.
“Up in the Air” was insufferable.
Up in the Air. Ugh. Being employed and having no responsibilities is hard!
I gave Zombieland 2 out of 4 meh’s.
Movie trailers that preceded Up in the Air – yikes.
American Pie 2 – Depressing nostalgia.
District 9 – Fun
Inglorious Basterds – Delicious
Friday – HIGHDay
Sherlock Holmes: Eh, first half was slow and boring, but once it picked up it delivered. Really don’t like Jude Law though.
Up in the Air: Great. Really enjoyed it. Don’t really know what other people’s complaints were about it.
Should be seeing Hurt Locker as soon as I can get it on netflix. Very excited.
Last Year at Marienbad = Bad (but pretty!)
Avatar = Good
Daytrippers = Disappointing
Il Divo = BEST
Gomorrah = BEST
It’s Gary Shandling’s Show = Great
You didn’t watch Il Divo and Gomorrah over the holidays, you liar! #maritalsquabblesonvideogum
Avatar- Oculariffic
Sherlock Holmes- Fun
District 9- Great
Rounders- Classic
The Hangover- LOLz
Arrested Development Season 1- Terrific
I watched Primer right before Christmas. I’m a sucker for movies that are confuse you just enough to make me want to watch them multiple times. Its definitely now one of my favs (reminded me of the first time I saw Donnie Darko).
Sherlock Holmes = Great
Avatar = Great Visually (story was meh)
Rambo = WTF
Star Trek 2 = Great
Star Trek 3 = Bad
Star Trek 4 = Good
The Hangover = TBS, very funny
Taken = Stupidly Good
The Princess & the Frog = Anti-nostalgia
Inglourious Basterds = Amazazing
Avatar = Pretty.
Fight Club = Awesome
Funny People = Puke.
Nine = Meh.
Sherlock Holmes = Great
Blood: The Last Vampire = Huh?
Orphan = Creepy
The Goods = Dumb.
Food, Inc. = Vegetarian-maker.
The Hurt Locker = Favorite.
I feel like I saw too many movies. Not having a job gives you awesome/depressing free time.
mmm, for me the princess and the frog was pretty nostalgic. it had a lot of easter eggs for new orleanians in it. shreveport! best joke.
Well, I was trying to narrow my thoughts of the movie down to one word. Yeah, it’s nostalgic in that way, it just wasn’t as “fun” or memorable for me as the ones I remember seeing when I was growing up.
Sherlock Holmes – RDJ-tastic
Nine – Most-unnecessary-addition-of-Kate-Hudson-ever (totally one word)
Moon – Awesome
The Brothers Bloom – Charming
Inglorious Basterds – Tarantino-y and Glorious
All of Coupling – Oh, Jeffrey.
I also watched this terrible movie called Skinwalkers. My friend has Comcast and the on demand services has a bunch of awful (but free!) horror movies. We always watch one when I visit him.
Up in the Air–great
Home Alone–CLASSIC
The Hangover–still amazing
He’s Just Not That Into You–made me hate my own gender. strong, STRONG contender for the next round of WMOAT.
I support this HJNTIY nomination. So anti-female. Can’t believe it was penned as “truth for da ladiesss”
riiight? that main female character, UGH. “be completely psycho and stalkerish and the exact opposite of what any sane person would want! YOU WILL GET YOUR MAN!!!!”
Up In The Air Downer
The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans Crazy
The Messenger Good
The Lovely Bones Underrated
Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire Exceptional
My Son My Son What Have Ye Done = Werner Herzog + David Lynch had a baby
Avatar = Delightful and migraine-inducing
The Cove = Pretty good
Sherlock Holmes = McDreamy
Broken Embraces = Only okay but only okay Almodovar films are still 19 times better than most films so whatever
OH and I almost forgot “Sita Sings the Blues”, probably the only completely independently made animated feature put into theatres this year? And made by a lady! Trippy and beautiful. You can watch it for free online too – http://www.sitasingstheblues.com/
sherlock homes: meh
the princess and the frog: LOVE!
the dark side: eeek
in the name of the father: good
crips and bloods: made in america: great
notes on a scandal: good
trading places: magnificent
i was fortunate enough to get a VHS copy of ‘Robot in the Family’ as a gift. sadly, it is not on DVD yet, which is the only thing standing in its way of winning it’s rightful place as the worst movie of all time. has anyone else seen this? truly an amazing work in the field of crap.
Primer melted my brain into fluid on the first watching. I had to reference some online diagrams just to get it semi-straight. It seems to be one of the few intelligent time-travel movies. (I remember you having a very big problem with time-travel movies, Gabe.)
I can’t even remember how many times my dad and I had to rewind and rewatch bits of Primer to try and get it straight. Crazy mindfuck! And summed up pretty well in this xkcd comic.
Thank you! Finally the perfect visual depiction of my post-”Primer” brain.
Fantastic Mr. Fox: Okay
Synecdoche, New York: GREAT
The Friends of Eddie Coyle: Great
Rules of the Game: Underwhelming (but probably great in its day?)
Up: Great
Precious ? Mo?licious
The Blind Side – Precious
Zombieland – Hilarious American Shaun of The Dead and I want a fucking twinkie.
District 9 – KICKASS
Extract ? Intriguing plus Kristin Wiig
New Moon ? OMGZ!!!LOL!!!
(500) Days of Summer – Different cute
The Lovely Bones – YAAAAAAAWWN
Jennifer’s Body ? Smells like Thai Food
The Invention of Lying – Funny in the beginning, then dragged on and on
Skins ? Season 1 ? YIKES (in a good way)
Almost forgot:
Surrogates – BLAH
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs – Kidz Bop Cute
omg I thought I was the only person in existence to have watched Skins over Christmas break. That first season is the shit, the second season is not as great as the first, and the third season as a whole is okay, but the main character is so goddamned amazing that everything with her in it is my favorite ever.
let the right one in: pretty good
brick: noirtastic
lost in austen: estro-genial
invictus: i need to find that poem online and post it somewhere on my desk to help motivate me to kick my last semester of school’s ASS.
Up — awesome
Avatar — mixed (el stupido script and story, breath taking CGI)
And, for some reason, a lot of British sitcoms: Black Books, Green Wing, The IT Crowd….a snap shot of what’s in store for US television.
Zombie Honeymoon: Irish
Brain Twisters (1991): lolwut?
UP: Dogs?
I tired to go and see Avatar in glorious IMAX 3D (even though I wasn’t all that interested) but instead got trapped in a car in snow for five hours with friends who I have not spoken a word to since. 2010 had better be bloody good.
Avatar: The Worst
Fantastic Mr. Fox: CuteFun
Up in the Air: Great
Chicken Hawk: Funny
Funny People:
The nearest movie theater is four hours away by boat because Alaska, but Netflix:
District 9 = great, but I’d read way too much about it
Hangover = great, but I need to stop reading about movies and spoilering everything for myself
Twin Peaks Season 1 = not a movie, great
Black Adder Seasons 3&4 = cunning plan
The Lady Vanishes = this Alfred Hitchcork guy has got potential! one to watch
The Hangover – fun!
Avatar – forced into it, liked the visuals even though it looked like a fancy rave
Noone Would Tell – Lifetime garbage, but starring Fred Savage and DJ from “Full House” so…awesome?
Revolutionary Road – surprisingly good
He’s Just Not That Into You – worst movie ever. misogynistic at best.
Home Alone 1 & 2 – best!
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation – fantastic, as always
Star Wars original trilogy – doesn’t need a review, it’s fucking Star Wars
Bye Bye Birdie – woof! great movie, gender inequalities abound!
Nine – overrated. Cotillard and Daniel Day Lewis were great, but I think I can sum it up: FERGIE WAS IN IT.
hours upon hours of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations – just delightful
If you think Fred Savage is great, you should watch him and Amy Adams in The Last Run…Mind-blowing Fred Savage soft porn. It is terrible. I can’t believe the movie exists. I can’t even remember how I stumbled on it…HBO? Possible TWMOAT nominee?
IMDB: When a young accountant [Fred Savage] is devastated after discovering his inspiringly beautiful girlfriend [Amy Adams] is cheating on him, his best friend [Steven Pasquale], who’s engaged to a girl he doesn’t love, convinces him to go on a “run” and sleep with as many women as he can to get over his heart break.
Brilliant!
Netflix instant queue is now updated. Thanks for the tip! Also, “inspiringly beautiful” is now my romantic thing of all time. shortly behind ronnie saying he and sammie sweetheart “smooshed.”
Let me know how it goes! Mostly so I know that I didn’t randomly dream this movie up. IMDB can never be trusted.
I don’t want to sound all book-snob-literature-is-a-higher-artform-no-adaptation-ever-lives-up-to-its-source-material because so not true, but seriously, Yate’s book is a zillion times better than Mendes’ movie. I wanted so badly to love the film because the book is utterly devestating and brilliant but the film fell flat for me.
Paranormal Activity: Probably only scary for a wuss like me.
9 (the Elijah Wood one): Not horrible but it has a lame ending.
Jennifer’s Body: Funny/campy with a slight Veronica Mars reunion.
Moon: So so good.
Hot Fuzz: Edited for Comedy Central. =(
Serenity: Edited for SyFy. =(
District 9: Still great the 4th time.
Revolutionary Road: Bleakest comedy ever? Seriously, it made me laugh a lot, maybe that makes me a bad person but their argument scenes were hilarious. On the other hand, home abortion is not funny at all.
Fantastic Mr. Fox: OMFGYES
Nine: I should have bought shares in fishnets stock before shooting on this film began..tasic?
Barton Fink: HELLIMAGERY-TASTIC
(500) Days of Summer: 500 minutes of moodily lit Zooey Deschanel. (in a good way)
Alice (1987 Czech version) – Weird
Celluloid Closet – Interesting
Slither – Stupid
Elephant Man – Good
Palindromes – Decent
Humpday – Funny
The Hangover – Good
The Nines – Huh?
The Ten – Yawn
Paul Blart – Streaming on Netflix. Curiosity killed the cat. Bad as I thought it would be.
Oh, and Avatar – Pretty. But I saw it late at night, and I’m an old man, so I slept through some of it.
First of all, I really liked Vicky Christina Barcelona. Really, only, because of Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem.
Edgeplay: A Film About The Runaways Decent doc. Sad sad sad sad sad sad.
Up In The Air Great.
Avatar Sold out?
The Hangover It doesn’t say anywhere on the box that Grandmas won’t like it very much.
Zodiac Long/Great.
i left my house to see it’s complicated, but i wore slippers to the theater. it was pretty good if you like crappy movies. i mean obviously its dumb and many parts are insufferable, but let me tell you about the experience of seeing a movie amongst the middle aged. they talk through everything and are adorable. there was one scene involving marijuana use while cooking. the couple behind me were so so so concerned that meryl streep was going to hurt herself. it was a lighthearted montage of baking accompanied by “you really shouldn’t do that while cooking! oh! ah! i hope she doesn’t cut herself!” that would have been a weird turn for a nancy meyers film. meryl streep gets high and cuts off her hand while baking
“It’s Complicated” with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin was terrible.*
* Unless you are in Amsterdam with Dutch subtitles so everyone laughs (rarely) at different times while superhigh because you cracked your tooth somehow on NYE.
Also, 500 Days of Summer, X-Men Origins, Public Enemies, and The Informant were also pretty bad!
You take that back about Harry Potter, Gabe. You take that back now.
anyone see a serious man? its amazing… the coen brothers redeemed their misstep of burn after reading with this one for sure.
the last 60 seconds was a definite “ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh WHOA” for me. nice job, boys. you went there.
I honestly can’t remember if I actually liked Sherlock Holmes as a movie or if I was just lost in the dreaminess that is RDJ.
Choke – Good
500 Days of Summer – Good
Y Tu Mama Tambien – Great
Bug – Gross
All About My Mother – Great
I’ll Be Home For Christmas – JTTerrible
Seems like a lot of folk saw The Hangover this holdiay season.
Well, me too! The Hangover- I see why frat boys love Zack G. and I fully support them.
The best movie I watched was Trapped starring Charlize Theron, Kevin Bacon, Courtney Love and a Fanning (not sure which one). This was Lifetime programming at its finest. So Kevin Bacon and Courtney Love kidnap Charlize Theron’s little girl. They’ve done this four times before and the kidnappers always get their money. No one gets caught and no one has died — so far! Except this time, the kid has asthma. Whaaaaa?!!! So Kevin Bacon arranges for Charlize Theron to give the little girl her medicine. Which means everything should be good, right? NO! Charlize Theron freaks out and tries to chop Kevin Bacon’s penis off. Then her husband, who’s an anesthesiologist, finds out the reason Kevin Bacon and Courtney Love are doing this is because they blame him for killing their daughter in surgery, which isn’t true! So the doctor, who happens to know how to fly a plane and also owns one, makes Courtney Love show him where the kidnappers are keeping his daughter. He catches up with them on the highway and crashes the airplane into a semi truck, a camper and about 15 other cars. Then there?s a shoot out, and Kevin Bacon gets killed. All to save their little girl, who was going to live anyway if they would have just waited a few more hours. Talk about a waste of time! Thanks for ruining my New Year, Charlize Theron!!!
the one thing I remember about that movie is how Charlize Theron’s husband has a really thick Scottish accent, so whenever he tried to say “asthma”, i LOLed all the way to the bank.
Being sick since Christmas sucks… I’m behind on everything. Gonna have to indulge in a movie orgy once I’m better and finally check out this Did You Hear About The Morgans? that everyone’s been talking about.
Watched a few films, but the only one I can remember now is Timecrimes. Woah. It had smarts oozing out of every pore and paradoxes to boot. Oh them Spaniards, always with the time-bending multiple-plot strands…
I didn’t watch a whole lot of movies this holiday– perhaps I could give you a one-word review of each of the 38 episodes of Law and Order: SVU I watched?
The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (batshit [in a great way])
Muppet Christmas Carol (classic)
Andrei Rublev (loooooong [but great!])
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (masterpiece)
my favorite is when he surprises the old rich lady and her nurse by hiding behind the door, and he’s just randomly running an electric razor across his cheek. at that point the movie went from “enjoyable curiosity” to “genuinely great” for me.
oh, also watched “The Baader-Meinhof Complex”, which was meh. Interesting, and good cinematography and editing, but the characters were all really unlikable (even for terrorists, jeez!) and it was waaaaaay too long. it felt even longer than “Andrei Rublev”, which is 3 hours and 27 minutes long, by the way.
Tarkovskey, Dominik and Herzog – oh my! Be still my film nerd heart.
Primer! The first time I watched it, I accidentally bumped the remote 3/4 of the way through and skipped to the last scene. I have seen it about four times since then, and it still makes about the same amount of sense as it did the first time.
/decided against being a physics major
I spent more time catching up on TV rather than films, mainly a Jeeves & Wooster (it’s great, guys) marathon and a Doctor Who rewatch of all 4 series in preperation for the finale (SHAKING AND CRYING) .
Sherlock Holmes was actually the only film I saw all holiday! And it was great! Yeah bits of plot we’re kinda “what, really?”, but RDJ was RDJ-rific obvs, and minority opinion alert: Jude Law was fantastic! (hated Rachel McAdams though, kinda hope they replace her or do without in the event of another film)
(Actually, I lied. I also saw The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and it was expectedly Gilliam-y!)
I did the Doctor Who marathon too! I had a bad case of the
and my mom said I was pathetic D:
A Single Man – SO great! Beautiful!
Nine – So disappointing. Basically a watered-down rehash of 8 1/2 with dull music.
The Hangover – Pretty good.
Once Upon a Time in the West – Great.
And because I’m an art school student with a six-week-long break and a really easy job, I have a lot of time to watch more movies.
Anatomy of a Murder – better than I expected (and Lee Remick: WOWZA)
Rear Window – Still great!
The Perfect Getaway – predictable pablum (and what was with that 20 minute flashback sequence?)
Distrcit 9 – even more awesome on Blu-Ray
Funny People – not as bad as expected, but growing very tired of Seth Rogen and pals
Avatar – yay!
Julie & Julia – liked the half I expected to like
The Browning Version – very good!
House of the Devil – loved it until the very end
Gone With the Wind – stunning on Blu-Ray and my first time all the way through in one sitting. Now I understand.
A bunch of Twilight Zone episodes – my memories of them were much better
Avatar – Sweet
I Love You, Man – Thomas Lennon, love him!
Ghostbusters – Zool
UP! – Wonderful
Episode after episode of Heathcliff – awesome (although not a movie)
Stepbrothers – Hilarious
Gone Baby Gone – Unsettling
A Very Sunny Christmas – Overdone
The Nightmare Before Christmas – Classic
Up In the Air was the only film I saw over the break but it was oh so good. Heartbreaking, though.
Also, yay, Gabe for disliking Vicky Christina Barcelona! I made it about 30 minutes in before I said “This is just Woody Allen directing his sexual fantasy. Again.”
just like “whatever works”. “You know, like sleeping with my adopted daughter: whatever works!”
His fantasy also seems to be about being reaaaaally misogynistic as well. Or was that just me?
Avatar- Awesome, especially in 3D
Up In The Air- Great. I really liked the end.
An Education- Also excellent. Though I felt the end was too abrupt.
District 9 – the best movie I’ve seen all year
An Education – I’m in love with Carrie Mulligan
500 Days of Summer – I’m in man-love with JGL
Lovely Bones – pontetial WMOAT candidate
The Hangover – Good
District 9 – Fantastic
The Invention of Lying – So-so.
I sucked at watching movies this holiday season:
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation: just as i remember it
A Christmas Story: my first time watching it…not as good as NLCV in my opinion
Best in Show: great
and i almost talked my mother into watching the Devil Wears Prada because I bought it for her last christmas and she never opened it. but she did ask for it, it wasn’t just a shitty gift. but i think that movie might become the “fruitcake” of our family, being constantly re-gifted and never “enjoyed”.
Princess and the Frog: Great
Sherlock Homles: Got out of it what I expected, which was mindless fun
Stardust: Enjoyable
Serenity: Always good
Lord of the Rings Trilogy: YES!
West Side Story: Good story, music, and dancing…just a great musical
Dexter (season 3): I have to catch up on this show still but it continues to be such a consistent and enjoyable show and each season has a great plot through out it.
I mostly just watched my dog rip the place where the eye should be on one of those stuffing free toys, pull out the furry sack that contained the squeaker, rip a hole in that sack and chew on the squeaker until I was like, ?Hey! That?s enough! you could choke on that!? but then he was bummed. So, I replaced the squeaker and sewed up the holes and it was basically rinse and repeat for a week.
I have a TV?this was just better. Also it was icy outside? I did watch Alien and Aliens a couple times. They were on TCM. The end.
Bright Star – achingly beautiful
In The Loop – second the AV Club contention that it is our generation’s “Dr. Strangelove”.
Full Disclosure: I actually saw both these movies about a month ago and not over Christmas but nobody has mentioned either of these yet and they are fantastic and should be watched over and over again.
I rewatched Being John Malkovich. Don’t you love when you forget how amazing a movie is, and when you watch it again, you get to relive the AWESOMENESS? I do.
