Despite this for 2010, I am going to attempt to cut my movies to only 100.
Comments are open, What do you think did I miss any good gems that I should see?
Yes once again the post with a really long esoteric name is a movie reviw post for the following 3 movies I have seen (at least once) over the past week.
Lets start with the biggest New Moon the continuation of the Twilight Saga. I never left a theatre before so wanting to read a book then with this most epic cliff hanger of an ending. The first movie introduces the love story, where the second explains the relationship between the native’s haterid towards the vampires and introduces the senero to be portrade in the final two incarnations, and then stop abruptly that the story is not complete, and disappointment that you must wait for the next one.
The next movie is “I hope they serve beer in hell” for such a long title this is one of the best comedies fo the year, based off a true story, up along the same genre as the Hangover. It crosses elements between Weading Crashers and The Hangover. This is most definately a must see.
The last movie is the Fourth Kind. This is a really bad movie a slight thriller based of a (possibly) true story about abductions across Alaska. It blew, not worth even renting.
At long last I have finally arrived in Victoria. Five hours on a plane is really long much longer that I had really imagined. During the longest lag of the journey I got to see “My Sister’s Keeper” for the first time. I found it to be really an enjoyable movie, in the respect that you did not know who to feel sad for. Then it throws a huge twist that make the plot even more intriguing.
Upon first impression of Victoria is that it has an appearance of a fairy tile that has come to life especially now that its the holidays and the lights of colour in and on everything.
I’m going to start today’s post with the fact that I have joined a gym. My friend Andrea finally convinced me to join Nubody’s. I bought the membership on Thursday and finally went yesterday. Despite feeling a little sore and tired today, I actually feel better. Despite the fact that I have a lot of weight that I should lose, I am actually quite hesitant to set goals/benchmarks at this point. It has been since 2002 since I last regularly worked-out in a gym. The most exercise I have done recently is walking to work from missing the bus. Which according to Google Maps is 3.4 km which should take continue reading…
At the point of the original post I had not seen some of the nominees. I have since seen The Reader and Slumdog Millionaire.
Here is my new list.

What is there to say about the movie Australia. This movie is definately on the caliber of movie with Cassablanca. This movie has aspects of almost every gents of movie it’s a comedy, drama, romance, war, western, nature, comming of age, family, real life type movie.
Even more remarkable than the fantastic acting in the moving is the calm hart-pounding score that carries you seamlessly through the story.
This movie is written in the three act style but all three acts have their own three acts it is truly a must see. Rating: 
Breast Men R 
Kinda dull but based on real life events, with a porno-elements in a tastefull manner. CEFM.ca Rating: Rating:
Outsourced PG-13 This movie is a hoot and very ironic of you have ever woorked for an outsourced company, or are an outsourcer. But is the story of people understanding outher different cultures to help find themselves. CEFM.ca Rating: Rating:
Bolt PG Definatly worth seeing in Real 3D. This is one of the first movies in 3D that I was not pissed off. Usually 3D movie do things to show off the 3D that takes away from the storytelling. But no Bolt bolt uses it to tell a story of a dog who it lost both literally and metaphorically who stuggle to find his way home (and himself.) Meanhile the cat is also learning it’s true nature without being boring. A good movie for the whole family. CEFM.ca Rating: Rating:
This is definately not the type of movie i typically go to but I really loved this movie. I expecially liked the way the movie tied itself together so well. Also the fact of the way she trusted thim despite the fact of hime being a monster. I really live how the villian type can be a hero without seeming too good. CEFM.ca Rating: Rating:
Four Christmases PG-13 This was an amazing good movie. Definatly a romantic comedy that will toy with your emotions. These two are a perfect chemistry for each other. CEFM.ca Rating: Rating:
It’s been a while since I did a movie review here, and I have seen many in the past few weeks that I want to share.
Mamma Mia!
Not to take away from the stage version but the movie did not quite live up to my expectations. The transitions from spoken to song was very abrupt and did not flow very well. Rating: 
The Dark Night
I really quite enjoyed this movie that a movie can keep you on the edge of your seat for over 2 hours then make you laugh, cry, and keep wondering what is going to happen. Rating:
Wanted
This movie is very unique. I really love Morgan Freeman in movies. He has got to be one of the greatest voices on film. Rating:
Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3D
This is the fist RealD movie I have seen, this movie was very interesting. The only issue I had was with the 3d there were so many bad edits just to show off the 3D that just was unnecessary. If you are calling it RealD keep it real, don’t fake it. Rating:
