Looking for something to do during those long winter nights. Make some popcorn and enjoy these movies:

Staring Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams, Amy Adams and Hank Azaria, Night at the Musem: Battle of the Smithsonian recieved mixed reviews from critics at the time of its relase. It was not only criticized for an excessive use of spcial effects but some of the acting was also picked apart (with the exception of Amy Adams and Hank Azaria).
Nevertherless, the film enjoyed public sucess. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian’s revues surpased those of the first Night at the Museumand it won the award for best comedy and the teen choice awards.
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is a good light hearted movie to watch comfortably on your couch during the long winter nights.

Angels & Demons, directed by Ron Howard and staring Tom Hanks (as Robert Langdon) and Ewan McGregor is the movie version of Dan Brown’s novel by the same name, Angels and DemonsFor the films Angels & Demons is the sequel to The Da Vinci Code, even though it is the opposite for the books. The movie recieved mixed reviews from critics and fans, but still enjoyed great success. it was the top grossing film of the year till the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Just like The Da Vinci Code Angels & Demons also enjoyed its share of contraversy due to its religious subject matter.
Packed with Action, beautiful images of Rome and Vatican City, non-stop intrigue and mystery, Angels & Demons will keep your eyes fixed on the screen till the end.

Julie & Julia juxstaposes the story of Julia Child during her early years as a chef and the story of Julie Powell who aims to cook every Julia Child recipie during the course of a year. The Comedy-drama directed by Nora Ephron, stars Meryl Streep and Amy Adams and was official released for theaters on July 30, 2009.
Julie & Julia was based on two different sources. The movie combined Julia Child’s autobiography, My Life in France as well as a blog written by Julie Powel that was later re-worked and published as a book, Julie/ Julia Project : 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Kitchen: How One Girl Risked Her Marriage, Her Job and Her Sanity to Master the Art of Living. The blog documented Julie Powell’s experiences cooking all of Julia Child’s recepies. Julie & Julia becomes the first motion picture to be based on a blog.
Julie & Julia recieved good reviews and opened at number 2 behind G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
A great movie to curl up with and it might just inspire to start baking… great for the holiday season.
