if the pizza doesn't come...

No new movies this week but here are a few favorites revisited last week.

...we will eat byong-sun.
Kicking and Screaming starring Will Ferrell and Robert Duvall
This movie is an underrated Will Ferrell classic. It was probably overlooked by many Ferrell fans because it is PG and technically a kids movie. But don't be fooled by the simple soccer dad premise. If you watch closely you will catch all kinds of great sarcastic funny things. One of the funniest running gags is a feud between Robert Duvall and his neighbor...Mike Ditka. Oh yes my friends. The Mike Ditka as himself. It's worth a watch for that reason alone.

I can carry you
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King you know who's in it
I am an unashamed Lord of the Rings fan. I think it's about time that we returned to a simpler time, 5 years ago to be exact when the last of the LOTR trilogy was released. You should know the story and if you don't, next time you are sick go and rent all of the films and watch them back to back as you are skipping work/school, if you have seen them invest in the extended versions because they are awesome and well worth the few extra dollars. My favorite part about this and the other two movies is that when watching the characters one isn't distracted by the other parts they have played, they are Frodo, Samwise, Gandalf, Legolas and Aragorn.
Sigh. I seriously love these movies.
