Little Fockers

Not really a Christmas movie. But, still fun to watch with friends when you're home for the holidays. Ben Stiller and Robert DeNiro are hilarious together. Whoever cast the first movie was a genius! I liked this film almost as much as the first one - the second one was just OK. And, I loved all the Chicago scenes in this one- shout out to Lincoln Park! My only complaint would be Jessica Alba's character. She just annoyed me. Rating: You'll find it in everyone's DVD collection 10 years from now. See it on the big screen now anyway.

Day 16 - Bottle Rocket

A fun, quirky little comedy. I love Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson, especially when they write scripts (Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums) because I get to see their crazy genius brains at work. This was their first collaboration and Wes Anderson's directorial debut. The story is incredibly ridiculous and hilarious. Luke, Owen, and the always known but never seen older Wilson Brother, Andrew, are fun to watch. Not just because they're gorgeous (cause they are), but they have this ease about them, like they're not acting at all. I wonder if they have a 75 year life plan, too. Rating - If you're like me, and didn't know about this film when it came out 15 years ago, get on hulu and watch it now.
