Holidays Movie Marathon: Catching Up with 2010

And because our trip to Baguio was cancelled, I guess I'll be just staying in the comforts our home for the rest of this term break. Initially, I really don't know how I would be spending it. If I only had the money, I'd hit the bookstore and buy lots of Fiction / Fantasy Books: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel (6), The Spiderwick Chronicles (5), A Series of Unfortunate Events (13), The Lord of the Rings (3), and finally The Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero. Wow, I guess that's a lot and would even cover my reading list for the entirety of the next trimester. But then again, that's only IF I had the money. So, what to do? what to do?

Thanks to Team Kaladkarin (my new found friends from the EK trip I just had) I know now what I would be doing till January 5 comes. So Robbie posted this question in our mini facebook group: What is your TOP 5 MOVIES FOR 2010? And the truth is, I could only answer two. Yes. That's Toy Story 3 and How To Train Your Dragon. Well, aside from the fact that our family isn't a beach or resort goer every summer; we are also non regular movie goers. There has to be a great reason why we're watching a movie. Either one of us is celebrating  his or her birthday (How To Train Your Dragon), or the movie is just so great and excites us so much that my sister and I couldn't stop asking mom (Toy Story 3), OR the movie would give me an academic incentive (Wall Street). So what a better way to spend my term vacation by having a movie marathon and catch up with what happened in the movie scene of 2010.

First on my marathon list are the movies my Team Kaladkarin friends voted for:

Easy A

The Social Network

Despicable Me

Inception

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

And then I looked for a 2010 movie list to see what other titles might interest me, like movies I intended to watch but I never had the chance to cause I am so freakin busy in school or I am simply broke. LOL. So 7 more movies were added to my list:

The Last Airbender

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Theif

And another 6 as soon as good copies become available via the other way of getting movies. =P
