Happy New Year Guam!!

It's midnight in Guam!!

Happy New Year To All My Friends & Family ~

MOVIE TUESDAY: Seven Pounds

Since tomorrow is New Years Eve, have plans, so I
won't be able to do a movie night on Wednesday.

So it had to be a Tuesday movie night instead. But
ofcourse ... this was another treat from "A" ... and
I got to see "Seven Pounds" ~

I kinda feel mixed about this. Will Smith's acting was
great ... but the story ... well ... I thought it was
"alright" ~ from watching the trailers, i knew it was
about Will Smith and 7 strangers. But what was it
SEVEN POUNDS of what!?!?

** SPOILER ALERT **
in the beginning of the movie Will Smill calls 911
to report his suicide. then it goes on a flashback
within a flashback. He's a rich guy, an accident
happens, he pretends to be an IRS, he meets people,
he donates his organs, he commits suicide, and his
heart goes to Rosario Dawson.

MOVIE SATURDAY: Gran Torino

Since Wednesday was Christmas Eve, I didn't get to
go to the movies. And I've been feeling crappy
with this awful cold that I didn't really feel
like going out at all these last few days.

However, my friend "A" decided to give me a treat
of a free movie ... GRAND TORINO ... how could I
say NO ~

I must say .. this is an excellent, excellent movie!
When you see the "vintage clint eastwood" trailers, ads,
it is all true. You will not be disappointed. I might
actually buy the DVD.

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: Nothing Like The Holidays

I was really hoping to see "Australia" today, but it
started somewhat early in the afternoon, and the later
show was too late. Really wanted to see the matinee
but couldnt get out of work early.

The only movie left was "Nothing Like The Holidays".

I thought that this was a sweet movie. But I don't
think I'll be adding it to my DVD collection.

2009 Golden Globes Nominations

My Thoughts On The Golden Globes Nominations:

Its another year of awards ... i try to watch
everything nominated, but i just dont' have that
much time on my hands ~

I have yet to see any of the "Best Picture" nominees,
so I can't say who i think should win ~

I really think MAMMA MIA will win for "Best Musical" ~

I think I'll see what movie wins in the "Best Foreign Film"
then I'll watch it to see if it wins the Oscar.

Heath Ledger SHOULD win for "Best Supporting Actor" ~

BOLT should win for "Best Animated Film"

I have not watched any films in the "Best Screenplay"
category ... which is just SAD, SAD, SAD!

The TELEVISION category:
All I can say is the America Ferrera & Neil Patrick Harris
should win ~

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: Four Christmases

The only reason I wanted to watch this movie was
because Reese Witherspoon was in the movie. I'm
not big on Vince Vaughn.

Anyways, the movie had its funny scenes, however
I could have waited until it got on DVD to rent,
not to keep.

The Tales Of Beedle The Bard

I just got an early Christmas Gift from one of my friends
at work. During one Christmas, he got me the Harry Potter books
when he was my Secret Santa. Today ... he got me JK Rowlings
new book "The Tales Of Beedle The Bard" ~ which just
came out yesterday ~ What a great friend!

Cant wait for The Deathly Hallows to come out in paperback
to complete my collection!!

* No pressure "R" *

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: Twilight

I finally finished the book yesterday, so I wanted to
watch the movie while everything was still fresh in
my mind.

I really enjoyed the movie, but I still like the
Harry Potter series much better.

There are things that I wish they included or didnt
change from what is in the book ~ but I guess everything
worked out fine.

It's December!

This year I plan on sending out REAL Christmas cards ~
and not do any of the e-card giving. I actually LOVE
opening my mail box and finding cards in them.

I think the only "problem" cards I'm going to have
is for my brothers. How many cards to they make of
"To My Brother & His Family" ???

Since I have 5 ~ i hope i don't have to send the same
one. And i don't want to send out the generic assorted
cards to them.

There will probably be a bunch of people that I have
to buy the assorted box cards for ~ i know its easier
for e-cards ~ but i want the "real thing" ~
