Must Have DVD's for the Holiday Season

Movies make great Christmas presents. My family always loves when one of us receives movies as gifts, because then we sit around for the next few days,staying in warm from the cold, and watch movies in our PJ's and eat leftovers while we listen to my Mom bitch from the kitchen about how nobody helped her clean up wrapping paper and tinsel.

Some of the must-have DVD's out this month:

JULIE & JULIA: Love this movie, ordered it on Amazon.com right away, and cried when I finished reading the book. Amy Adams is fantastic in this movie, Meryl Streep is phenomenal (as always) and Stanley Tucci is so damn cute as her adoring husband, I'd give him a kiss on the cheek. (Okay, well maybe only after a few shots of Patron.)My sister-in-law loved the movie, and it will make you hungry, so be prepared to gain ten more pounds when you run out and buy the Julia Child cookbooks.



THE HANGOVER: Needless to say, I laughed until my abs were sore, and was all alone in the movie theatre (well, me and about one hundred strangers, anyway.) This movie will have you in stitches. You shouldn't watch it with the little ones (my family's very liberal and not into censorship, but we still wouldn't let kids under 12 or 13 watch it.) The guys in this film are absolutely hysterical, and you will wanna pop in the DVD over and over again. Makes a great gift for the guys on your list, too.



THE UGLY TRUTH: Buy it for all the single ladies in your life, the ones who are lookin for love in all the wrong places, the ones who practically sleep in the self-help and relationships aisle at Border's Books and Music. Hell, buy it and let your whole family watch and laugh their happy asses off the day after Christmas. Gerard Butler? Is strangely attractive in this movie, even when he acts like a douchebag.



Whatever movies you and yours watch this holiday season, I hope they bring you fits of laughter, lots to bond over, and that you can make many happy memories to remember for Christmases to come. That's what Christmas is all about.
