The Day After Yesterday

I really had no idea until now that Dec. 26 was a vacation day for a bunch of people. Even though the malls were packed full of carnivorous shoppers, many other places were surprisingly closed. Even the best restaurant in Sedalia took a holiday tonight. How do I know? Because I was unable to eat there tonight!

Instead this evening I settled on a couple of great flicks that I have already seen: Millions and Dawn of the Dead (the remake). Both are top notch and worth second viewings.

There isn’t much along the lines of new information as even many web sites failed to post today. However, I did see that King Kong came out on top in the box office just barely beating Narnia. Sure it is up in the 100 millions at this point, but it isn’t kicking ass and taking names like everyone said it would. I suppose since January is launchpad for some of the years worst films (with the exception of expanding 2005 critically acclaimed films), Kong will probably dominate. I just hope it doesn’t pull a Titanic and stick around for a few months. That is one good way to make me sick of a mint movie.
