Day 11: Elf (2003)

Buddy: I thought metformin hcl 850 maybe we could make ginger bread houses, and eat cookie dough, and go ice skating, and maybe even hold hands!

Elf is a brilliant combination of Will Ferrell’s silly humor and the heartwarming Christmas spirit of the classics of my childhood.  It invokes a sense of family and warmth that I don’t think can be said about many other recent holiday movies.

Day 5: Winter Passing (2005)

Reese Holden: I just can’ t believe metformin hydrochloride tablets this is the same man who told his six-year-old daughter that Christmas was a Republican capitalistic conspiracy created by the Hallmark Corporation and that, if Jesus were alive today he’d be down in Nicaragua rallying the Sandinistas. Grace Away.

Winter Holidays and the films inspired by them, are always and always will be, about family. For me, the greatest of these stories are not the one where a family goes through some adventure together, but where a group of people go through an ordeal in order to become a family. Winter Passing is most certainly the latter.

My inner nerd *read: not really inner* just became enveloped by excitement by the new trailer for HBO’s adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones. I love the books and eagerly await the fifth, sixth, and seventh novels.

Here’s the first official poster for the upcoming Cowboys & Aliens. Looks freakin’ sweet. I haven’t read the graphic novel that this was adapted from but I’ve consistently been a fan of Favreau’s (Iron Man, Elf)  work, especially his more recent stuff.

Varsity is reporting that Leonardo DiCaprio has agreed to play Dr. Henry Howard Holmes in Devil in the White City.

The screenplay is based on the nonfiction novel of the same name by Erik Larson, telling the story of Holmes’ serial killings at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. White City takes a focus on the World’s Columbian Exposition at the Fair, and it’s architect Daniel Burnham, which was in celebration of the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ landing in North America.
