Every year we have what's called the NakedJen Film Festival, and Murphy-willing, this year will be no exception. ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
This is how it works. On Christmas Day you go to a lot of movies. ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
It doesn't matter where you are. It's called the NJFF because NakedJen invented and perfected it, and spred the good word like Johnny Appleseed with the apples. If you ever get a chance to do the NJFF with NakedJen, I say go for it. She's a wonderful person to go to the movies with. And she was my choice for Blogger of the Year in 2007. Hard to go wrong with that combo! ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Anyway, given that it's December 23, it's now time to start considering which movies we will see at this year's FF in NYC. ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
In no special order... ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
1. Black Swan. Sounds sexy and intriguing and Natalie Portman is a fine actress. ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)

2. True Grit. A Coen Brothers movie with Jeff Bridges. Say no more. Must-see. Every year there's one of these. Sometimes they are disappointing. Last year it was Sherlock Holmes. Totally boring. A few years back, Sweeney Todd. I'm going to say True Grit is the Big Hope for the blockbuster of NJFF 2010. ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
3. Tron. It's always good to have a schlock scifi movie as an option. I don't seriously think this will make the cut, but you never know.

4. King's Speech. This has the makings of a truly boring movie. I used to joke, when imitating British speech (I'm good with accents) that I'm speaking with marbles in my mouth -- and in this movie (I hear) they actually do speak with marbles in their mouth. ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
5. Somewhere. Okay Sophia Coppola is an automatic. Lost In Translation was a masterpiece. If Somewhere is 1/150th as good it's a must-see. Only problem is it's playing in just one theater in Manhattan, and it's waaaaaay uptown. ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
6. Rabbit Hole. Nicole Kidman. I could watch her in a shitty movie, and have many times. This one doesn't sound like much fun, but I'm in. xoxox ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Those are the movies I'm thinking about for this year!
