It’s Beginning…

… To look a lot like CHRISTMAS!

And it’s not even Thanksgiving yet! Normally this ‘pre-christmas’ celebrating is not something that I have any interest in partaking in. I like to put my decorations up after thanking, listen to my christmas music after thanksgiving, and I prefer being cheerful after thanksgiving as well. But… something has changed this year! And what else can I say aside form that face that i’m ready for the christmas season now!

It’s been a long year. There is no other way to put it and no way to sugarcoat the situation either (is this a situation?). I think that the thing that I enjoy most about the holidays is the mood. The feeling that everybody is happy, everybody is excited, and everybody is full of some sort of ‘warm-and-fuzzy’ bug! I can’t wait!

I started my holiday season by downloading Kelly Clarkson’s new christmas album, Wrapped In Red. I think that album came out in October technically .. but .. I was good and I at least waited until Halloween was over before I started listening.

On a side note.. this album is FANTASTIC! Probably not her best work ever, and probably not the best christmas album you will ever own, BUT it’s full of a lot of heart! You can tell that it wasn’t something that she just threw together in a rush (i’m thinking of YOU Jessica Simpson and your Happy Christmas album).

I’ve been looking at Christmas Sweaters (you know.. the REALLY ugly ones) and i’m actually looking forward to buying one to wear to all of those holiday parties that I never get invited to! lol. Anyway, I think that this may be the first year that my Christmas tree goes up before eating that delicious Thanksgiving day turkey and i’m not ashamed!

REVIEW: SINISTER

Genre: Horror, Mystery
Rating: R
Overall Rating: ♣ ♣ ♣ 

Found footage helps a true-crime author realize how and why a family was murdered in his new home, though his discoveries put his entire family in the path of a supernatural entity.

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this movie as much as I actually did. I’m not a big horror movie fan but this time of year I just can’t help but indulge myself in a good horror flick (or two). I had seen previous for this and though that it looked like it might be something a little different then the horribly cheesy movies that come out around this time of year.

The plot to the movie is interesting, VERY interesting. I’m realizing that as i’m typing this there really isn’t much that I can say without giving away the movie. So please, be prepared, there may be an accidental spoiler leak so please proceed with caution.

The story is about a one-hit-wonder true crime author that moves to a small town. The key thing is that the town is home to a brutal crime and a missing child. Not only does the man move his family to this small town be he moves them right into the house where the crime happened. The story unfolds as unusual things begin to happen to the family within the home. The story continues to evolve as the family deals with the house changing as well. I know.. sounds weird. Thats the point!

The author ends up unravelling more and more gut wrenching details about the crimes he came to write about as the story goes on and slowly he becomes lost in his own nightmare. The ending to this movie is great. It really ties everything together better than most. You are in no way left hanging. I rate this a 3 and a definite must see! CAUTION: nightmares are to be expected!
