Ten for 2010: Couples that Won’t Make It

Ten movie metformin hcl 500 mg side effects couples from 2010 that probably broke up after the movie

When the end credits roll on a happy ending we naturally assume our characters go on to live long, fulfilling lives together. But what if they don’t? Love is an enigma that puzzles us all, and for these unlucky few, it was just not meant to be.

Day 25: It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)

Day 25: It’ s A metformin hydrochloride 1000 mg side effects Wonderful Life (1946)

Clarence: You’ve been given a great gift, George: A chance to see what the world would be like without you.

For the past 24 days we’ve looked back on Christmas and holiday movies that in short make us feel good. Die Hard definitely makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Eli feels the same about Bad Santa. James loves Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Connor has newfound love for Finland’s version of a Christmas Story. Kelsy loves her musicals and White Christmas. Alex loves Elf. The point being, everyone has their favorite, and everyone feels that way for a very specific reason. But seldom do you find a film that is so universally agreed upon and so timeless.

Remade Right: Disney’s Tarzan

Tarzan is considered the last film of the Disney Renaissance. The house that Walt built had a good run from 1988 to 1999, starting with that movie about that little mermaid (I believe it was called “Escapades of a Sea Ginger”) and ending with well, Tarzan. It is considered to be the end of the Renaissance because once you make a film with a Phil Collins soundtrack, there’s nowhere to go but down. Disney knew they ought to go out on top, so they did.

Day 24: A Christmas Story

Day 24: A Christmas Story (1983)
& Christmas Story (2007, Finland)

“Would you look at that? Would you look at THAT? It’s a leg!”

A Christmas Story is one of the countless family classics I could never be bothered to watch when I was a kid. I was always much too busy repeat viewing Godzilla Raids Again and Destroy All Monsters. Having never seen it, I had no idea what it was about and suspected nothing when I ordered a movie with the same title from the holiday movies section of Time Warner Cable’s On Demand service. Thing is, this Christmas Story was actually a completely different film, that translated into its native Finnish, is called Joulutarina.

Day 23: Christmas Vacation

Day 23: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)

“Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I’d like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where’s the Tylenol?”

Day 22: White Christmas

Day 22: White Christmas (1954)

White Christmas is grip-my-heart, this-musical-is-just-the-right-amount-of-cheesy fabulous. It starts during WWII where Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) are putting on a show to honor their awesome general. “White Christmas” is sung, men being manly and not showing emotions happens, and then they’re under attack. Phil then saves Bob’s life, giving Phil leverage to make his way into Bob’s one-man performance show back at home.
