The Big Year

I wish I had time to write an in-depth review, full of witty, insightful comments, but with the crush of papers to grade and power outages to recover from, it'll have to suffice that The Big Year is one of the sweetest, most enjoyable movies I've seen in a long, long while. It's worth every penny I overpaid to the crappy theater here (no sidebar note about that for now-- saving that rant for another day, I guess).

Take your favorite person and just watch this movie. There will only be about 6 of you in the theater, so don't be embarrassed to bust out laughing all by yourself a couple of times. You won't cry or anything, but you might just feel like the universe isn't all about mortgage bubbles and occupying enemy territory.

Nice work, Steve, Jack, Owen, et al.

Ok, now there are 3 movies that I need to get out and see. Actually, 2 of the movies I've waited to long and now they are out on video but I can't find them at a red box. AARRGGHH! So, I guess I had better see this one in the theater or I won't get to see it at all.

What are the other two movies? I'm interested to see what you're interested in.
