It's the end of the year, and here I am with a stack of DVDs
and another challenge complete! I've really been racing the clock to get some
extra ones squeezed in at the end of this year, though this particular
challenge wasn't too difficult to get finished. Christmas is definitely the
time of year for kicking back with a movie or two, and there have been a lot on
TV lately as well!

had after Captain America:
The First Avenger.
