A good tv couple can make me giddy inside. These are not necessarily two people in a show that are actually in a relationship, but 2 people the writers make me want to see together so much that I yell at the tv every time they do some stupid thing that pushes them apart. I love the will-they-or-won’t they play, I love leaning towards the television every time it seems like they are going to kiss, and then, when they are together, they are so funny and sigh-worthy that I smile like an idiot. Eonline has been running a poll to determine TV’s best couple and a few of their top couples have made my list, but honestly, Ross and Rachel…come on folks, there are so many more tv characters with more personality and better dynamics than them (and I’m not just saying that because I find Jennifer Aniston incredibly boring). So, here are my favourite TV couples:
1. Mulder and Scully: The X-files:
2. Buffy and Angel: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
3. Booth and Brennan: Bones
4. Josh and Donna: The West Wing
5. Lee and Kara: Battlestar Galactica
6. Ned and Chuck: Pushing Daisies
7. Liz and Max: Roswell
8. Ziva and Tony: NCIS
9. Angela and Jordan: My So Called Life
10. Chuck and Sarah: Chuck
11. Logan and Veronica: Veronica Mars
12. Joey and Pacey: Dawson’s Creek
13. Eric and Sookie: True Blood
14. Rachel and Finn: Glee
15. Vaughn and Sidney: Alias
So, who are your favourite TV couples? And what makes you root for them?

Movies in 2010
There seem to be a lot of movies coming out this year that I'm pretty excited to see. By making a list, maybe I'll remember to watch for their actual release dates. So, here are the movies I want to watch this year - in no particular order.
When in Rome - cause I love Kristen Bell. That is the only reason
Eclipse - judge not lest ye be judged... it's alright, I would judge me too
Shutter Island
Iron Man 2
Toy Story 3
The Socerer's Apprentice - I don't like Nick Cage, but I do like that funny, skinny kid - and the brooms look cool in the preview
Legion
Priest - This one and the one above both have Paul Bettany. I think that's a good enough reason to watch them. The fact they are both supernatural, religious thrillers, is just an added bonus.
Letters to Juliet
Inception - from watching the previews, I have no idea what this movie is about; therefore, I am intrigued.
Burlesque - based entirely on casting. This may change once a preview comes out.
Top three movies
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - I have some reservations, but more hope.
The Runaways - I love their music. I think the casting may actually work. The costumes are obviously going to be awesome.
Alice in Wonderland - I'm excited for this movie like a twihard at a convention. Like excited enough to consider taking the day off work to make sure I can see it opening day. This is my all time favourite book and my favourite director, so I make no apologies
What movies are you looking forward to this year?

Rhonda's Favourite Movies
I go to the theatre far less often than I used to since we got a 46 inch TV. So even though I LOVE movies, I often wait until I can get them on DVD and watch them in the comfort of my own living room. This means that my favourite movies of this year may not have been released in 2009, but these are the best movies I watched in 2009:
1. Star Trek – This was a perfect movie in my opinion. The comedic timing, the one-liners, the action, John Cho…loved it all.
2. The Hangover – So, uproarious actually does describe this movie. And the Mike Tyson punch…awesome.
3. Whip It – So I love fringe sports and strong female characters and Ellen Page. I also loved the soundtrack.
4. 500 Days of Summer – Cute, slightly unconventional, Joseph Gordon Levitt is hot now…oops, did I actually write that.
5. The Watchmen – Not what everyone expected, but those were the people who hadn’t read the comic/graphic novel. I did think a lot of what was in the comic was missing, but I still loved the cinematography, the acting, and the characters.
6. Taken – This was an excellent action movie. ‘Nuff said
7. Fired Up – Pure fluff, but funny! And I love cheerleading.
8. Green Lantern: First Flight – This was a great animated movie. It was a great introduction to the Green Lantern world but still drew comic fans in with the action as well.
9. Wall-E – Loved everything about it!
10. Role Models – My gosh, I think I snorted I laughed so much at this movie and I love Paul Rudd.
11. P.S I Love you – Gerard Butler. Geoffrey Dean Morgan. Ireland. A tale about following your dreams and little adventures. This movie was sad and romantic and inspiring.
Tanya, our lists were more different than I thought…but I still see some similarities…
