Alan Rickman as the Blue Caterpillar? AWESOME. And they used 3D not just in Underland? Hmmm, that's an odd choice. Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat? Alan Rickman as the Blue Caterpillar? AWESOME.

I was looking at the numbers for Chicago and New York since they are probably the closest to Toronto ... the order changes slightly but generally includes Milk The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Rachel Getting Married Doubt The Wrestler Slumdog Millionaire Twilight I have seen two of these. (And two of the others are on the Zip list.) As soon as you cross into New Jersey, though, the numbers are totally different. Interesting. That is interesting!

Awesome. Also, "inexplicably tattooed Paul Bettany" is a hilarious thing. “I could summarize THE ENTIRE FILM and still not spoil anything.”

Awesome.

Also, “inexplicably tattooed Paul Bettany” is a hilarious thing.

Finally. I enjoy your categories. I especially agree with your "other favorites" list, and the one right above it. I haven't seen A Serious Man yet, but the rest, I loved! I really can't believe I haven't seen Hurt Locker yet. This week, hopefully! And I'm scared to see Precious, although I should.

I am still bitter that my dad rejected "Young Victoria" for our Christmas Eve movie - for no reason that I could understand, since he loves that sort of movie. Not that I can't see it on my own, but I feel like it would have been a great choice. Also, I have heard only good things about "Up in the Air" from people I trust, and I am very excited to eventually get around to seeing it. :D (I am finally catching up on my google reader - nothing like end of the year posts halfway into January!)
