A rare movie night at the theater. The Blind Side was good. Even rarer is that me and my wife both liked it.

It's worth reading up a bit on modern South African history (apartheid, forced relocations, etc.) before watching to get some background on what's being allegorically represented in the film, if you're not familiar with it....

The Christmas classics... Home Alone 1 & 2 , and A Christmas Story . Picked up Journey to the Center of the Earth on Blu-ray for hubby for Christmas. I did miss the 3D effects - I think it's the BEST 3D movie OF ALL TIME, but it's still a GREAT movie even without it!
