Evelyn and I haven't gotten dressed this whole weekend. We put up the Christmas tree downstairs and we've been listening to Christmas music (She & Him Holiday station on Pandora is pretty good) and playing with all the Christmas toys and decorations. It's been a good weekend, actually.When Evelyn woke up from her nap today, I didn't feel like watching another episode of Dora the Explorer, so I compromised: Kung Fu Panda Holiday. This is now the third holiday short I've watched in the last week Read more [...]

Lincoln could've been the best movie of the year. How can a movie directed by the greatest director alive with the greatest actor of his time playing the greatest president in US history be bad? Well... it can and it can't.

I was hoping for a good WWII story, but I got a satirical, at times confusing, story of a man who lives his lifetime out of order, and eventually ends up on a different planet.

It seems weird having my first movie post be about two short kid's movies, but I guess that's just how it goes sometimes...Since I made a trip to the landfill, in which I fell down trying to pull out a king-sized mattress out of the back of my new truck (I bought Keith's old truck), and was getting home later than usual for dinner, Sam ordered Chinese. She also suggested the three of us eat dinner in our newly rearranged basement while we watch something on Netflix Instant. Since it is the holiday Read more [...]

My friend Alec is a genius. He texted me and said in order to get ready for The Hobbit he's going to watch the chapters of the dvds of The Lord of the Rings trilogy in reverse, starting with Return of the King, naturally. Brilliant! Read more [...]
