How the Grinch Stole Christmas, a review by addicted2dvd

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Discover the Magic of the Mean One this holiday season! Oscar-winning director RON HOWARD and Oscar-winning producer BRIAN GRAZER bring Christams' best-loved grump to life with the help of the irrepressible JIM CARREY as The Grinch. The Grinch is a celebration of the holdiay spirit no home should be without! Why is The Grinch (Carrey) such a grouch? No one seems to know, until little Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen) takes matters into her own hands and turns both Whoville and The Grinch's world upside down, inside out... and funny side up in her search for the true meaning of Christmas.

My Thoughts:
I have watched this movie with my daughter Brittany every since it first came out at the theater. This is her favorite Christmas movie. I enjoy it as well... though I wouldn't call it a favorite of mine. But definitely a good movie for the holiday season.

Clerks II, a review by DJ Doena

Brian O'Halloran   ...    Dante
Jeff Anderson   ...    Randal
Jason Mewes   ...    Jay
Kevin Smith   ...    Silent Bob
Jennifer Schwalbach Smith   ...    Emma

Rosario Dawson   ...    Becky
Scott Mosier   ...    Concerned Father
Kevin Weisman   ...    Hobbit Lover

Synopsis: 10 years later. The Quick Stop has burned down and Dante and Randal are "working" in a Mooby's fast food restaurant. But not much longer. Dante will marry in a few months and he will move to Florida. Today is his last day. Randal plans to give him a going-away present in form of a "donkey show". But apart from that there hasn't been much change. Jay and Silent Bob are still selling drugs in front of the store and Dante still feels that he hasn't found his purpose in life yet.

My Opinion: A nice continuation of their story and when you watch both movies together you see the parallels they put into it much more clearly. And I really liked the addition of Rosario Dawson who was great as Becky. It was also great that Silent Bob who always had the one big speech per movie didn't know what to say this time: *theatrical pause* and then "I've got nothing.".

The movie posters were also hilarious:
