MOVIE MARATHON 2008!

Well another year has come and gone and with that brought the traditional New Years celebratory events; staying up way too late, playing games, eating way too much, new years resolutions and of course the annual Movie Marathon. Many of you may be aware of the Annual Movie Marathon, if not, you may now consider yourself informed. Several people braved the event. Be mindful this is in fact a marathon and not for the weak, so don't feel bad if you couldn't make it through the whole day...it takes some people years of training. Anyway I will be adding on reviews to the blog in due time, but just wanted to give a quick overview of the event. All in all, not a bad year, I would say 4/6 is not too shabby.

The Water Horse: ***
Juno: ****
Charlie Wilson's War: ***
Atonement: * (if even that)
The Great Debaters: ***1/2
Sweeney Todd: **

I'm getting to it Fats.

You can't call me "Fats", that is reserved for Mike and myself.

hey why don't you two quit snickering.

What were your thoughts on Juno and the message it sends to highschool girls?

Again I thought it was very endearing, the movie itself is presented as through the eyes of a teenager, thats where the humor comes into play. Nevertheless the consequences are still very real and painful. I thought it was a good balance.
