    We went and saw the last Hobbit movie. Enjoyed it. Both Unbroken and The Imitation Game sound good. And I want to see Wild too.

    I can't wait to see Unbroken. But I wanted to read the book first. May not do that though because I think it would be so emotional. I tend to love the older Christmas movies like The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant and It's A Wonderful Life. Also, I love Downton Abbey. Even though I missed all of season 4.

    I have to catch up on Downton Abbey. It is much easier to rent the whole season.
    Happy Boxing Day!

    I do believe I may go to the movies today. My daughter wants to see the one with a fairy tale theme.

    I can't wait for Downton Abbey to start again. I 'm anxious to see how Mary's love ife plays out. Plus, I hope that Tom sees through that conniving teacher and gets her out of his life. I want to see him with somebody decent, kind and loving.

    We do dinner and a movie every New Year's Eve with friends and family and all have to agree on a movie which is pretty hard - this year's pick is Unbroken.

    I've spent December watching the Christmas movies on TV, but have to admit that I'm glad theyare almost over - romance overload I think. I haven't been to a theater to see a movie in years, although I would love to see Unbroken.
