November 28, 2007

I love these Spirit noms… I saw “I’m Not There” and have been working on my review so that’ll be up soon. I kinda hope Sarah Silverman doesn’t host this year, I think everyone’s getting a little tired of her… Zach Galifianakis perhaps?

A Better Guide for the 25 Days of Christmas

November 26, 2007

Every year there are many TV channels that try to bring you 25 days of Christmas movies. Many of them are repeated and get really old. I’ve made a list of 25 movies that can be watched in order to create the best Christmas ever. This way you won’t have to watch that certain “classic” [...]

I read parts of the “Persepolis” graphic novel and was completely in love with its fusion of comedy and drama.

Sometimes there is nothing better than a nice warm and inspirational comedy during the fall months to bring us away from our hectic lives.
