Technically, I'm not supposed to buy DVDs in December

Because Christmas is around the corner. However, many of the DVDs I wanted wouldn't be out until well after my family buys my gifts. My wife and I watched the Simpsons soon after getting it, and I have to say... It was funnier than the last five seasons have been. I know I'm getting off-topic a bit, but the Simpsons was funniest when Conan O'Brian and his successor David X. Cohen were the head writers for the show. The movie was nowhere near as funny as some of those episodes, but it was pretty damn good.

I was most excited about Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween. I had heard good things, and I was curious to see his take on the story. I didn't expect to see quite so many recognizable (although rarely leading) actors such as Brad Dourif, William Forsythe, Sid Haig, Danny Trejo, Clint Howard, and Udo Kier to name a few. I also enjoyed the direction of the story, focusing more on who Michael Myers was, rather than having him be a (relatively) ambiguous killer. It was probably one of the best horror films I've seen in a while.

Superbad was SuperAwesome.
Not a movie for everyone, but it was pretty freaking hilarious.
