Certified Movie Buff: Last Holiday

Hi guys. Since the holidays are fast approaching, I thought that I might as well share with you some of the holiday movies that I absolutely love. You might want to check 'em out if you're into having Christmas movie marathons.

My family and I are confessed movie buffs, and we have probably watched Last Holiday more than 20 times and not strictly during the Christmas season.

I probably love this flick so much because I'm a sucker for heart-wrenching films that make me pray for happy endings.

Last Holiday is a 2006 film starring Queen Latifah and LL Cool J. Queen Latifah plays the role of Georgia Byrd, a sales clerk/aspiring cook at the cooking ware of a department store who lived most of her life too timidly and safely. When a small accident leads her to have a CAT scan, everything goes haywire when Georgia finds out she has the Lampington's disease and has about three weeks to live.

With a new perspective, and a life deadline, Georgia takes on the risks to live her life to the fullest and the best ways she could, all while sending those around her in a reality check whirlwind of optimism and self-faith.

It's a fun story of Georgia's journey of this new road to self-discovery and the path she has never actually taken or looked at. It was great to see her transform and transcend into this whole new person who's willing to try everything in such a short amount of time. She just redefined "blowing" every penny she has.

What to check out: Georgia's funny self conversations with God, and her drop-dead gorgeous outfits like the one on the poster that she wore to eat out. Yes, to eat out.

Well, if you do have the time to watch a movie, do check this out. It's funny yet heart-warming, just perfect for the holidays. Cheerio!
