It seems that all I do on over holidays is watch movies. Perhaps it’s the only time of year that I have hours on end to do absolutely nothing. It felt good.<\/p>\n
Anyway, here’s the movies I saw and a 6-word or less review:<\/p>\n
The Hulk<\/em> – That ending made no sense I would have watched more if I could get the frickin’ DVD player to work in my laptop on the flight out. I got video, just no audio. I spent a lot of time on the plane out trying to figure out what was wrong, then a few hours more once I got to my parents’ house. After reinstalling every possible driver and rebooting 50 times, I figured out that playing audio requires an AC3 decoder. One is built into the lame WinDVD program that came with my laptop which I had uninstalled. I swore that Windows Media Player played them just fine before. I reinstalled WinDVD then figured out that I could just install AC3Filter<\/a> and now any DVD player worked. Grrr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It seems that all I do on over holidays is watch movies. Perhaps it’s the only time of year that I have hours on end to do absolutely nothing.

\nThe Dukes of Hazzard<\/em> – Missed the end, don’t care.
\nThe Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe<\/em> – Hello, Christian imagery!
\nFantastic Four<\/em> – Please don’t make a sequel
\nThe Incredibles<\/em> – Similar heroes as Fantastic Four
