Movies to have your soul smiling and laughing

 I have not been writing much lately, and I like to blame it on the fact that my keyboard hates my fingers.  I can be typing along and the keyboard will make random keys stick or place the shift key where the enter should be.  It is infuriating.  So much so, I hate to use the damn thing.

However, there are times when I really want to share, to give in to the temptation and somehow manage to confuse the keyboard as to whose fingers are pounding away.

Before Christmas I came down with a cold that transformed itself into bronchitis.  Sent home from work, twice, I finally went to the doctor, received "drugs" and was told to rest, sleep, drink fluids and get well.  Oh, and to have a Merry Christmas. :)

What is one to do when confined to bed, alone?

Netflix and On Demand Movies, life savers they truly were.  And my taste is all over the map.  Just think 24 hours a day of not sleeping due to coughing and hacking.

It seems like I watched hundreds these past ten days.  And considering the plethora of holiday and Christmas movies, etc.  it was amazing that I could find anything else.  Some movies I have watched twice: Stage Beauty, Bran Nue Dae, Legion, The Mechanic, Lars and the Real Girl, Cedar Rapids, Hereafter, The Young Victoria, What Doesn't Kill You, and the Dr. Who Christmas Special - The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe.


Some it pained to watch once due to the raw emotions on the screen  ; The Road, Edge of Darkness.

My two favorite during this period had to do with transformational love in two different settings.  Check out  Joshua  and Nativity!

Finally, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
