New movie Tuesday

Lots of good ones out today, probably because December is a good DVD month because of CHRISTMAS (in case you didn't know it's coming up). The big release is "District 9" which I saw in the theaters but don't seem to have a review up. Maybe I'll rent it and give a review. Also out is "(500) Days of Summer," an indie rom-com that was well received at lots of film festivals last winter. I went with "Extract," a Mike Judge ("Office Space") comedy that looks pretty funny, and stars Jason Bateman and Mila Kunis. I'll try to have a review up soon, but it will be a busy holiday week, so please excuse me in advance.

The theaters have some good ones out too. Playing in Ronan right now is "Avatar," a futuristic CGI-filmed James Cameron monster. I'll try to see that soon; it will continue playing there this week and next. "2012" and "Planet 51" are playing in Polson, but new ones are on the way. "Sherlock Holmes," which looks excellent and stars Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr., comes out this weekend, as does "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel." Lots to see. I'll try to have reviews and recommendations up soon. And don't forget to contribute to our holiday/Christmas discussion about our favorite movies during the holidays. Poll votes are coming in, so vote before the New Year! Have a great Christmas, and enjoy some good movies with family and friends.

Christmas/Holiday Movies

With Christmas just around the corner, I though I'd get your thoughts on your favorite holiday movies. Feel free to write in the comments here, or check out the new poll to your left.

"Elf" has become a staple of the holidays, and "It's A Wonderful Life" is always a classic. "Home Alone" is underrated and a great film that I watched non-stop as a kid, and "Bad Santa" is an awesome flick for the adults. "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" is a movie all can relate to and "A Christmas Story" might be the most played movie on TV around the holidays. These are just a few, and some of my favorites. What are yours? I'd love to get a good discussion going. Happy holidays and happy watching!
