The Santa Claus


Tim Allen's proformace as St. Nick is great and its a great story that make you love christmas. One of my favorites every year and Judge Reinhold just adds to the joy.

Its a Wonderful Life


I have seen this movie many times over the years, but only in parts and have never been overly impressed. So I decided to truly watch it. I sadly admit I still didn't enjoy it. However being a film lover I do see its greatness and do respect that is a true classic with an everlasting message.

Book Review:Skipping Christmas-By John Grisham


I thought a book about not having Christmas would be depressing. But in writing Skipping Christmas Grisham shows it can't really be done or that at least skipping it is a bigger pain then just having Christmas. Good for a few laughs.

Book Review:Tuesdays With Morrie-By Mitch Albom


Everyone should read this book. Tuesdays with Morrie should be required reading for every adult. Morrie is a man dying of ALS and his student(Albom) visits him after many years. While listening to Morrie we truly see that life is a gift.

Ratatouille


The best movie I've seen in a while. Such wonderful animation and a great cast. I will be watching this again and again. I'll bet so many want pet rats after this movie.


10/10

Fred Claus


I enjoyed this movie. Being a holiday movie, I think its overlooked that it has a really great cast. It was pretty widely panned but it was fun to watch and lets face it fun was all it was meant to be.

The Princess Bride


A great movie of adventure and love. Twenty year later its still fun to watch. I still think the book is a bit better but every time I see the movie I like it more.


8/10

Music & Lyrics


This was an ok movie. The story was predictable, but very watchable. Always like Drew Barrymore and as much as I don't like him Hugh Grant always draws my attention.

The Holiday


This movie was really good. Maybe a bit to much Cameron Diaz(but I liked her a lot.) A great cast of Jack Black, great to see him in a more mature role. Jude law was even pretty good and I always love Kate Winslet.

Veronica Mars-The Complete Second Season


Veronica Mars is just a great great show. Its not just another teen drama. I will admit the season long mystery of the bus crash was not as good as the Lilly Kane murder of the first season, but the ending was totally worth the wait.


10/10

Friday Night Lights-The First Season


I had heard nothing but good things about this show, but still wasn't sure I wanted to watch it. I found for under $20 and could not pass it up.


I would not say was addictive, but it is very well done and it does draw you in. It protraits small town life very well.


10/10

Starter for 10


This a good movie. The characters are very watchable. Just like life sometimes you like them sometimes you don't but you care about them. The movie shows we all make mistakes but its not the end of the world.

Blades of Glory


I could hardly believe it but this was a great movie. When I saw previews I said, "So stupid" I was so wrong. Its a great story.

Bus Stop


I did not enjoy this movie. All the characters just bugged the hell out of me.

Pump up the Volume


Whatever happen to Christian Slater? He had such promise back in the day. Pump up the Volume showed that promise. As a pirate radio DJ he was so cool. Being a free thinking bucking the establisment. Every guy wanted to be him, every girl wanted to be with him. I am a 80-90's mood right now and may just have to put this in Blockbuster Queue.


9/10

Se7en


Se7en is very good. Freeman, Pitt and Spacey give three of the best proformaces I've ever seen. The story is fast-paced and tense with an ending that will blow your mind.
