Seasons change, time to re-arrange...

Well, as you may have noticed, I have changed the blog around a little. I am using a new Blogger template (I think it looks pretty spiffy!), and I have added my lengthy link list to the column on the right of the blog. I have also added a few new sites and restaurants to my lists. Please leave a comment if there are any sites you think I should add. :)

"Deck the halls...." in 3D

The Misses and I saw "A Christmas Carol 3D" today and we both liked it very much. The animation was excellent and Jim Carrey was fabulous as well. I believe he was born for the part of Ebenezer Scrooge. The 3D effects were absolutely amazing as well. I would say the story has been done to death, even those that have never seen a version of this story know it well, but overall, the movie was awe inspiring and I truly believe everyone should go see it even if just to experience the 3D spectacle coupled with Carrey's awesome performance. I also believe you should leave the little kids at home for this one. Parts of this movie are scary, creepy, and even a little trippy, and the 3D effects just intensify these scenes. Remember, death, ghosts, and magic (for lack of a better term) are important themes of the Christmas Carol story, and the movie is rated PG, not G.
