Loads of time off for Christmas and new years made for two things. One, me being lazy and not posting. Two, a ton of time to watch a ton of movies. Lets get started...

The Man - Starring Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy. The story of a vengeful overbearing cop (Jackson) and a nerdy salesmen (Levy) who's worlds collide when Levy is mistaken for a mob contact. Wow, I might be making this sound way better than it is. I had a couple of laughs but nothing worth bragging about. Don't bother with this one.

The Lake House - Starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock . A mysterious lake house connects these two who are able to instantly send letters to each other two years apart. Very good love story. I would definitely suggest this as a rental.

Jackass Number Two - Starring, well, all the guys from Jackass. I actually found number two to be a lot "better" than the first. Not much to describe here, if you have not seen Jackass well it's a bunch of guys that find ways to disgust each other, hurt themselves or one another and generally do stupid stuff. Not story, just funny.

The Holiday - Starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black. Story of two women (Diaz and Winslet) who have had enough of their part of the world and want to get away from their job and mostly the men in their lives so they exchange homes. Diaz goes to England, Winslet to California. Very entertaining, great movie, this is a must purchase. Check it out while it is still in the theater!

My Super Ex-Girlfriend - Starring Uma Thurman, Luke Wilson and Anna Faris. Thurman is well basically a ripoff of superwoman. Any way she dates Wilson, Wilson breaks it off . Thurman has her revenge as no "woman scorned" ever has, with super powers. Might be worth a rental for a few laughs but there aren't many.

Little Miss Sunshine - Super amazing cast, Greg Kinnear, Paul Dano, Toni Collette, Steve Carell and several guest appearances. This was an absolutely, crazy funny film. I suggest this to anyone and everyone. It follows a family as they travel across the US to enter their daughter in the Little Miss Sunshine beauty contest. That is all you need to know as the movie is worth every penny. Go and buy it right now.

Well, these last 3 post (5 movies) I am sure I will be made fun of for finally seeing. That's right, up until a few weeks ago I had never seen any of these movies all the way through. Bits and pieces on TV but never sat through them myself. Alright, I am prepared for the whipping.

Blade Runner - I am sure everyone has seen this if not hit the link and check out the huge list of stars. Anyway, my first time seeing this I am not all that impressed. True Ridley Scott did paint a grand vision of the future but the story didn't really keep me going much at all. I did enjoy it but not enough to recommend it to anyone. I will be watching it again to try and see what all the hype is about.

Airplane! - That's right, first time I ever saw it. Funny as hell. I still have the second one sitting here to watch. This is a definite purchase when I can find it. Leslie Nielsen is one of the funniest Canadians... one question though, has he always had grey hair?

and finally,

Rocky, Rocky II and Rocky III . I figured since the sixth one just came out it was time to catch up. I enjoyed the first three and can't wait to see the next three in the series. Hopefully I can catch up before Rocky Balboa leaves the theaters.

That's it for movies for now. I spent most of my holidays out in Victoria, BC, Canada and took a ton of amazing photo's. I will try and put a couple up this week.
