The Good Shepherd
Meh. The Good Shepherd was too long and slow and there wasn't really anything great about it. A thriller/drama without many thrills or much drama. If you've got 3 hours to kill and it's on TV it's worth a watch, but I'm not sure I can recommend paying money to see it.

Blood Diamond
Much better movie than I thought it was going to be, despite all the praise it received. Djimon Hounsou was fantastic and Leonardo DiCaprio was good (but better in The Departed than this.)

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Had Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in my collection for a long time and finally got a chance to sit and watch it. Great movie, really funny and a great story that wasn't predictable. Narration from Robert Downey, Jr. was really entertaining, just a great performance.

World Trade Center
Not nearly as good as United 93 but probably a more watchable movie. United 93 was just tough to sit through. Not the best movie ever made or anything, but a great tribute to the police and firemen who lost their lives on 9/11.

Super Bowl XLI
Not a big fan of either the Indianapolis Colts of Chicago Bears but since former Longhorns Cedric Benson and Nathan Vasher are on the Bears I'll be rooting for them tonight to bring a world championship back home to Austin.

Children of Men
Good movie with an anticlimactic ending. Probably a little overrated too which meant I went into the film with too high expectations and ended up disappointed. Supposedly a great technical film and some amazing camera work and direction, but that doesn't mean too much to me when I was bored for long stretches during the movie. I've got to stop reading reviews or talking to co-workers about movies before I see them.

The Pursuit of Happyness
Good movie and even better performance by Will Smith and and his son Jaden Smith. Not quite as heart wrenching as I thought it would be (maybe I knew too much about the back story) but definitely a great story about a father doing whatever it takes to take care of his son.

Sugar Bowl - Notre Dame vs LSU
Notre Dame is hanging in longer than I thought they would but it seems like LSU is starting to pull away again. I'm not sure about these BCS games being on Fox, Terry Bradshaw is doing an okay job in the booth but it's still kind of awkward. Did the games start so late last year? It was 10pm before the second half even started. Way too late for kids to stay up and watch and learn to love college football.

Little Miss Sunshine
Funny movie. Several laugh out loud moments and a story about a very dysfunctional family that you actually grow to care about.
Worst part of the whole thing was the actual pageant at the end. Just kind of creepy and unsettling, not very funny.

Love Actually
One of our favorite movies to watch together and Christina's favorite Christmas movie. Great romantic comedy.
