New Year? How about some movies?

Especially some that many of you may not have seen or heard of. Let me name some for you...

Little Miss Sunshine
A disfunctional family packs in a yellow Volkswagon van to ride to a young girl's dream pageant. But the trip turns out to be much more when the family comes together in an amazing movie.

Juno (In theatres now!)
A witty sixteen year old girl (Ellen Page) becomes pregnant from her best friend (Michael Cera), and it makes her rethink life and love. The movie's very funny, but also has it's serious and heart-felt moments which make one of the best movie's I've ever seen. Also, not to mention a nice soundtrack.

Lady in the Water
With twists and turns and an extremely deep story line, this movie offers much more than what you'd expect. While previews persude you to believe that it's a thriller, it's really more of a fantasy in a modern day world. There's maybe, at most, a couple of jumps that may make you pee yourself a little, it's really not that kind of movie. Plus, I think M. Night Shyamalan is an amazing writer/director. And if you've never seen The Village, it's time you should.

Stranger than Fiction
Will Ferrell plays a man who discovers a voice in his head may be much more. Will Ferrell (actually) plays a serious and very convincing role. This movie messes with your head and keeps you wanting more.

The Terminal
A foreign man (Tom Hanks) gets stuck in an JFK airport in New York after a war between his country and another's. He has to spend many nights in the airport, but he meets a woman played by Catherine Zeta-Jones who turns out to be a much needed companion during his stay. Catherine is a little oddly casted, but if you can get past that, it's a great movie.

So watch those. You'll be happy. At least you should be.

Happy New Year 2008!
