Couch Potato Day

By the power vested in me, I declare this day as Jane’s Couch Potato Day. There are great movies lining up and waiting to be shared with my friend - the couch.

In line with this, I post here Moviefone’s 50 Best Movies of 2008.

I put x to the movies I haven’t watch yet or don’t have interest to waste my time with; The check means I already submerged myself into it or just liked it so-so.)

50. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (x - not my type of flick)
49. Burn After Reading (x - heard Brad Pitt acts like an idiot in this movie)
48. Mamma Mia (check – it’s exclamation point!)

Wait wait wait, why is it that Changeling and Twilight are not on this list? These are great movies! Changeling made me cry. I love Angelina Jolie (who doesn’t, anyway?) and in it, I love her more. Twilight, well, needless to say, it possesses my heart.
