40 Year Old Virgin

40 Year Old Virgin

The 40 Year Old Virgin is one of those films that reminds you of simpler times– when guys were pretty gross but still pathetically likable. … I guess. …. Can you tell I’m single? One of Judd Apatow’s first big forays into directing (though Freaks 

Elf

Elf

A film by Jon Favreau, Elf has become a holiday staple in American households. I have to be honest– I was not initially a fan (I’m a bit of a Christmas movie snob). But I’m now happy to say that I’m no longer a cotton 

Howl’s Moving Castle

Howl’s Moving Castle

I’ve been wanting to tackle Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki for a long while, and luckily my fave in the collection– Howl’s Moving Castle– is a bit simpler culinarily speaking its companions. Don’t worry, I’ll get to Spirited Away eventually. Based on a fantasy novel

Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine is one of those films that you’re thrilled exists– a wonderful family dramedy that is so well written and so well acted that it leaves you with hope for the film industry. The movie opens with a relatively dark montage. Mom Sheryl 

The Family Stone

The Family Stone

The Family Stone is one of those movies that I have to watch every year– usually late at night with no one around to see me ugly cry. It’s tradition. At the outset of my first viewing experience, I honestly didn’t have high expectations. Yet
