Think Groundhog Day without all the funny parts. Just lots of twists. Ultimately, a movie about redemption.

Best of the Trilogy. (the "prequels" just don't fit, sorry George)

Ted Knight's performance as Judge Smails is a pantheon-level comedic performance. 80% of the movie is funnier than any other movie ever, while the rest is a mess, like the pregnancy scare.

The pinnacle of Hitchcock's powers...you could spend your life dissecting this film.

We are a family of nerds. Think Geek allows us to display our nerdiness in ironic splendour.

Hard to find fault with this movie. Not usually a fan of biopic type films, but the acting, the style and the writing make King's Speech worth every minute.

This took to long to upload so I lost interest and now hate everything. I was paraphrasing.

An album that should be listened to more than one song at a time. Just sayin'

Personal fave new band out of Kingston, ON. Kind of a Radiohead feel, but jazzier. Intelligent lyrics and videos and they do it all themselves.

We've got this in Kingston, ON now! Serious fun (and not expensive).

Boss made me read this. I should have been more insulted. Surprisingly insightful book though. Covey helped me rewire my brain to get ahead of tasks rather than react to them. The book also teaches reflection, which I got so good at, I left the boss and job a year later.

Quite possibly the Stones second best album, and easily one of the best albums ever recorded.

Grew up on these. I had the privilege of being raised in Northern Ontario, where the blueberries are plentiful (and free) every summer. A good blueberry muffin these days transports me back deliciously to that wonderful time in my live.

I'm a crossword nerd. This movie made me feel better about that, and confirmed my belief in the awesomeness of Jon Stewart.

Fox always cuts the shows I like. I should know better than to ever watch Fox, but the fact that I do watch Fox is a pretty good indication of how poor my judgement is. See ya later Lie To Me!

I totally agree. These days I am very, very weary of getting into a serial drama during its first season. Just can't gamble with my own emotions like that.
