We are entering December

Well, we have made it past the Thanksgiving holidays, and now we are entering the Christmas season. We had some pretty good movies come out, I got to check out Blindside, which was excellent, if you have not checked it out, then go to the theater and see it. This week, I am going to try to go see Fantastic Mr. Fox.

As far as releases go this weekend, there isn't a whole lot of action, there is Armored, Everybody's Fine, and Brothers, and Up in the Air. Everybody's Fine looks like it might be decent, it has Robert De Niro who plays a father that has all his children cancel their plans to see him for Christmas, so he decides to go visit them. I guess we will see how it does. Next weekend, we see The Princess and the Frog, Invictus, and The Lovely Bones. Fans of classic Disney animation like Aladdin may want to see Princess and the Frog, Invictus looks like it should be a pretty good film, and Lovely Bones looks bizarre but could be good. The following weekend will have Avatar, Did You Hear About the Morgans?, and Nine. Then Christmas weekend we get the sequel to Alvin and the Chipmunks, Sherlock Holmes, It's Complicated, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. There will be plenty to choose from. I am mainly excited for Sherlock Holmes and Avatar.

Also, there will be plenty of Blu-Ray and DVD releases. Terminator Salvation came out today, and also Night at the Museum 2. Next week we will have Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and to let you know that I looked at the prices on www.bestbuy.com, and I saw that the DVD version with only the movie is $15.99, while the Blu-Ray version is only $16.99, and the Blu-Ray version also comes with a DVD copy of the movie, and also a digital copy. If you have a Blu-Ray player, and you are deciding between the DVD version or the Blu-Ray version of a movie, and the price difference between the two is only a buck, then go for the Blu-Ray version, especially for a price like that. I bought Terminator Salvation today online at bestbuy.com, and the Blu-Ray version was the same price as the DVD version, which was $15.99, so I got the Blu-Ray version. Also next weekend we get Julie and Julia. December 15 we get The Hangover and G-Force. December 22 we will see District 9, All About Steve, and 500 Days of Summer arrive in stores. Then on December 29, Blu-Ray and DVD versions of A Perfect Getaway, 9, and Paranormal Activity will be found on the shelves. Also, keep your eyes on the prices of these movies, you may get lucky and find rather good prices on Blu-Ray versions.

Last note for tonight, did any of you join the Black Friday fun. I did, and I got some pretty good deals. I got Spaceballs and Live Free or Die Hard on Blu-Ray for $8 each, and then Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Batman Begins for $13 each. Pretty solid deals, and I also got some other items that morning.

I'm looking forward to Sherlock Holmes--sure hope it's as good as it looks like it will be. I also think Avatar looks interesting.

I'm planing on seeing Invictus, Did You Hear About the Morgans, and Everything's Fine.
