I consider the first few previews of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty to be some of the best I've seen. The trailers call for you to join them on this epic adventure and as such this movie seemed to be right in my wheelhouse. So after missing it in theaters (not willingly) during the holidays last year, Jenn and I rented it this past weekend on Amazon.

We are officially hooked. Believe me both Jenn and I scoffed at the idea of watching New Girl. We'd seen clips of it. I'd even watched an episode or two on a flight but never thought I'd get this hooked. Around a month ago I caught a cold and was home from work and needing something to watch. I saw New Girl on Netflix and decided I'd give an episode a go. Eight episodes later Jenn got home from work and I re-watched all eight of those episodes with Jenn and the rest is history.

Most years I have little to no vacation days to take outside of our big trips. This year however we decided instead of doing two trips, to just do one big one which gave me a couple of free vacation days to sprinkle throughout the year. So I decided to take Good Friday off and enjoy the beautiful Spring here in Newport Beach.

I'm a giant Rocky fan. I've probably watched the movies a couple hundred times (no exaggeration). A couple of years back I even wrote a post ranking the six different Rocky movies. So when I saw the first trailer for Grudge Match I've got to be honest I was pretty concerned. The concept on its face sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen. Take two iconic actors who's arguably biggest roles in their career were as boxers and face them against each other in a movie not starring those two iconic characters. Doesn't sound great does it?

I remember when I first watched the original Anchorman. I really didn't like it at all. And then a year later I watched it again and could not stop laughing. That's a pretty common trend with Will Ferrell movies. I seem to never like the movie at first but the more I watch them the more I appreciate the comic genius. So its probably no surprise that I really didn't care for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. 

It's sort of a bittersweet day today. On one hand I'm happy to hear that Stephen Colbert got the Late Night job on CBS. On the other hand I'm sad, as The Colbert Report is a staple in the Szerlip household. Each night Jenn and I watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. It's a great lineup and one that has been a staple for us for the past couple of years. The combination of political satire and genuinely hilarious interviews has always kept us coming back for more.
