This Christmas
As far as holiday fare goes, this one was decent. I had a hard time figuring out who all the characters were at first - there's a lot of kids in this family, plus in-laws, boyfriends, cousins, etc. Regina King is SMOKIN HOT in this movie and I'm totally psyched up to start an exercise routine now. Well, not now. After the holidays I mean. B+
Movies I Want to See
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead
I hear this is going to be the movie of the year
August Rush
I think it's the music part that appeals to me b/c it's certainly not Felicity
I'm such a sucker for dysfunctional family holiday movies
Lars and the Real Girl
I'm a big Ryan Gosling fan since I saw Half Nelson
Movies I'll Probably Rent
Bella
I'm not a hundred percent sure what it's about, but it won in Toronto.
Martian Child
I do love me some John Cusack
Assasination of Jesse James
This was supposed to be so good and I'm not sure if it ever even played here?
I'm Not There
Worth the rental fee just to see Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan
Movies I'd Rather Gnaw My Own Arm Off Than Sit Through
Beowulf
I think every macho movie fan like Big Daddy who goes to see this should be forced to read the epic poem first. "I'm here to kill your monster," I'm sure.
Fred Claus
Just...ugh.
Lions for Lambs
Because I'm still boycotting that crazy Tom Cruise

I am a HUGE Beowulf freak -- love the epic poem, own a couple of translations plus several books based on it, own a couple of different movie adaptations on DVD -- and I have NO DESIRE to see this Zemeckis piece of crap. I am insulted by the very COMMERCIALS for this thing. Ugh.
You're a freak. I can't believe you like Beowulf. My image of you is totally shot.
(not really...I just saw this as a great opportunity to quote B'fast club)
I am stopping by here via Grown Up Girlie. You have a very nice blog! I saw "This Christmas" over the weekend, as I too am a sucker for dysfunctional family Christmas movies. This one was pretty good and held my attention--although I agree at first I had trouble keeping track of who was who! So many kids!!
Aww, selling Beowulf short there! You should read that, then read Grendel. You'll have a new appreciation. Or you'll want to pick your eyes out of their sockets. Either way, time well spent.
