Movies Due Out Christmas Day 2008

After Christmas morning is over and all the gifts are open, the family can start to get antsy. The, "stir crazy" feeling starts to set in and you realize you've been in the house for the last two days cooking, entertaining and cleaning. Its time to grab the family and get out of the house for a few hours. But what to do?.

Consider going to the movies. I noticed a few interesting new movies due out Christmas day.

The Curios case of Benjamin Button

Based on a story by F Scott Fitzgerald, Benjamin Button, (played by Brad Pitt) is born with a rare disorder. He is born as an older man, and through out his life he ages backwards. It documents his less then ordinary life, and how he deals with it. Cate Blanchette stars in the film as Benjamin's love interest. It sounds like a unique story and already has been nominated for a golden globe award.

Marley and Me

This is a perfect movie for children. It is about a dog Named Marley who is big, mischievous and loveable. Who through his antics, brings his family closer together on Christmas. Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston star in this delightful movie.

Bedtime Stories

Another perfect children's film, this movie stars Adam Sandler. It is about a handyman with an otherwise boring life. However, he loves to tell his nieces and nephews bedtime stories. The fun begins when the stories start coming true. Keri Russell also stars in this film playing Adam's love interest.

This last film is actually due out December 26 2008. But I had to add it to the list as a "must see" movie. Out of all these movies, I am motivated to see this one first. I would like to hear more about these real life heroes who tried to stop the Holocaust.

Valkyrie

This film is based on a true story. It is about German officers in the middle of World war two and the Holocaust constructing a plan on how to kill Adolf Hitler, to cause an immediate stop to the war. The plan was named "Valkyrie". It was a term for the start of, trying to over throw the Nazi government. Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh and Bill nighy star in this film.

Have a great time Christmas day at the movies, and do not forget the popcorn!.
