-Forgetting Sarah Marshall--I rented this one from my local library recently on the suggestion of my cousin and I loved it. FSM is another Judd Apatow vehicle and reunites a few actors from some of his previous films such as Jason Segal, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader, and Paul Rudd. This film has a great cast, interesting story, and Mila Kunis is undeniably one of the hottest women on the face of the earth. Fans of FSM should also note that this year's Get Him To The Greek is a pseudo-sequel/spin-off to FSM as it features Russell Brand as Aldous Snow again with Jonah Hill (also in FSM) as his assistant, Aaron Green.

-National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation--I know Christmas might still be a little more than three months away but I knew I had to have this DVD after my aunt, my cousin, and I were sitting around talking about the early National Lampoon Vacation movies the other night. Christmas Vacation is one of the biggest Thanksgiving traditions my family has. About an hour after dinner and just as we're all about to eat some pumpkin pie, my Uncle Harry pulls out his latest copy of Christmas Vacation (he got it on Bluray last year but he also owns the VHS and the DVD) and pops it in for the fam to watch. NLCV is a classic holiday tale of family, love, fantasy, betrayal, and ultimately redemption.

-Alien Vs. Predator--Though I'm not a huge fan of this film and I have nothing but contempt for its sequel I still wanted to buy it because I love the films that this film's titular characters have both been in and the film also makes me slightly nostalgic for the summer before I headed off to college for the first time which I personally think was one of the biggest mistakes of my life because now I'm almost $20,000 in debt to the U.S. Gov't and it advanced my hereditary balding from some of my more stressful collegiate experiences (Doing papers five hours before they're due, fucking roommates pissing me off, fucking teachers, argh!!!....etc, etc.). Anyway, AVP is an interesting take on both characters and it is a film that fans of both series had been waiting for (14 years for Predator fans and 7 years for Alien fans). The plot was kind of thin but the action and effects made up for the film's weak plot in the end.
