Christmas Cleaning

Because I've been hibernating since Christmas, I thought that I should move around a bit and get my blood flowing again, so I decided to finally fulfill a promise I made to my brother a year ago: organize his DVD collection.

So about five days ago, I gathered all of his DVDs strewn around the house and dumped it in his cramped and dusty bedroom. That actually added more dust and I almost lost my nose for sneezing so often. I was just planning on alphabetizing them, but man, the dust. Seriously. It's as if I was excavating in an archaeological site or something. So I decided to wipe each one clean. (I'm only rarely able to throw off my laziness and actually do something semi-useful so this is kind of a big thing. My mom looked so proud when she saw me actually moving.)

It looked like heaven rained DVDs in my brother's room for a couple of days when I was listing everything down and alphabetizing them. I thought of arranging them by genres, but because of lack of space (and I didn't know how to classify the others and was too lazy to research each and every one of those), it seemed better just to alphabetize them.

So there. After two days of inhaling dust, I finally finished my task.

What does this have to do with anything?

Well, my brother and I have been having nightly DVD marathons lately (which will end in about four days because I have to get back to school...sucks) and we've seen some good, some okay, and some movies that made us regret throwing an hour and a half of our lives away. I kind of want to record the ones I have seen (because he buys these things in bulk, like five to ten at a time, and I used to watch every new one, because he doesn't) so that I can cancel them off my to-watch list, and also so that I won't watch the crappy ones again. Haha. And my brother sometimes asks me which ones are good.

Well, that's the whole point of this thing. I'm no professional critic or anything. There are some movies I really love that critics bash to death (most of these are brain-dead movies but they're so much fun to watch, especially when I don't want to be analyzing stuff). So don't expect constructive criticisms or stuff like that. I'm just gonna say what I think of the movie.

Well, enough of this. On to the flicks!
