Okay, I've narrowed my favorites down to a top three...
(In alphabetical order)
The Day After Tomorrow (SHUT THE **** UP! ! !)
I LIKE THIS MOVIE OKAY? I found it to be rather interesting: and when you really think about it, in some small way, it IS almost like a warning to us; Global Warming is indeed happening as we speak, I mean how cane you people NOT see the evidence? Our summers are getting even hotter and seeing a lot less rain, our winters are warming up and we're seeing a lot less snow, chunks of ice the size of the smallest states are breaking off from northern Canada and Greenland, thus mixing too much fresh water with salt water in the oceans, everything that happened in this movie could very well come true! Canada and the northern U.S. COULD very well start to flood, and this all could very well trigger a new ice age. Now you people always complain about how cold and freezing you are in no 60+ degree weather, so do you really want to live in a world of ice and snow, and temperatures so cold you could freeze instantly? I think not.
On a non-serious note though, I also found each little sub-plot in the story to be somewhat heartwarming in even the smallest degree.
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
In the words of Samuel L. Jackson, "I like comedies myself", and it's true, I do enjoy funny movies, and it's hard to find a movie that will actually just make me laugh so hard that I eventually either, start to cry, have an asthma attack, or wet myself... and folks, this movie did just that! This wasn't the kind of hilarity I got out of movie since the first time I saw Good Burger when I was a child; but now that I'm older, and understand somewhat mature, and sexually oriented jokes and double-entendras (sp?), I'm able to laugh at things that would more than likey never make sense to me as a little guy, and thus, resulting in me not liking a movie. I, myself, am quite partial to off-beat, off-the-wall, edgy humor, so this movie really offered that to me; not to mention I found that Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller's bad acting acting off of Christine Taylor who was playing just as straight as an arrow (except at the end, hee-hee-hee), and the wacky supporting cast just made the movie even funnier.
Elf
What can I say? I'm easily set into a holiday spirit no matter what time it is, and this movie really helps, in my opinion. It's a really cute, and original story too, and of course, Will Ferrell was just absolutely perfectly cast as Buddy the Elf, who realizes he never was an elf, but a human raised in the elf world; his innocence and naivety towards the human world as he travels to New York City to find his biological father Walter Hobbs (James Caan), who he ends up driving bezerk with the whole elf idea makes for some good mixed emotions: it's funny the way his elf mind makes him "chemically embalanced" as far as his new family and love-life are concerned, but at times, you do feel sorry for him when it seems like he never can do anything right. True to fashion though, in the end, Buddy saves Christmas when he enlistes the help of his "new brother" Michael (Daniel Tay), Walter, and his soon-to-be-girlfriend and wife Jovie (Zooey Deschanel) to get the rest of the world into true Christmas spirit so Santa's (Ed Asner) sleigh can fly once again without the help of a turbine engine.
