With school out, I've had plenty of time to "catch up" on things I would like to watch.

I have already said I started marathoning Chuck, having watched 7 episodes in one day and am so far 12 episodes in to season 2. I also borrowed a few DVDs from the school library:

Die Hard: A movie my friends said was the best Christmas action movie, and I couldn't agree more. Quite good.

(For the record, my favorite Christmas movie is The Santa Clause.)

Dead Poet's Society: It was really good. I did not expect the ending, and it was kind of a downer, but overall a really good movie.

Tonight I am watching Pan's Labyrinth (I hope it's not too creepy for me to finish) and unfortunately have to devote my full attention to that (as opposed to sorting bricks or working on my uncle's calendar Christmas present) because of the subtitles; later tonight comes A Knight's Tale (I've seen all but the half hour...ug. I remember liking it the first time, and now I know it has Alan Tudyk).

Edit: Pan's was indeed weird, but in a good way. In the end though I just have to ask what makes it such an acclaimed film. IMO there were too many storylines to follow, and what I felt was the central one around Ofelia did not have much substance. IDK, maybe it's just not for me.

Tomorrow my friends and I are watching Tron (again, in my case) in the afternoon before out midnight showing at the 3-story tall IMAX theater.
