Felt like we got the penthouse suite even though we didn't get the penthouse suite. The Grand America felt like I had my own private mansion for a weekend. We must have just timed it right. It wasn't too busy, we felt like everyone had our needs in mind, and our stay turned out to be the perfect little weekend getaway. Wish we could have stayed longer.

These folks know what they are doing. They've been rated the #1 ski resort in North America for the last 3 years. People approach this place with the highest of expectations and they leave super satisfied. Ski lessons where perfect, the number of runs (even for beginners) is outstanding, and the surroundings are 110% breathtaking.

How can a mix of Dances with Wolves, The Smurfs, and some amazing CGI come together to form awesomeness? Mix them all together with a fanciful Sci-fi plot, throw in Sigorney Weaver and serve with some 3D glasses. Not saying that this is the best film ever, but it does deserve some kudos. This flick is a ton of fun.

How hard could it be to create the most popular sweet pork style salad now days? Didn't think I was asking for too much. Barbacoa didn't deliver. Don't think I'll be giving them a second chance.

It has finally been done. A clever romantic comedy from the vantage point of the male. This production is fresh, original, and a delight to watch. Love the split screen of expectation/reality. How many times has something like that played through your head?

So this is a musical, but it isn't really a musical, but there is plenty of music in it, and what in the world are sectionals? This show is a ton of fun. The satirical writing is full of whit and plenty of non-PC comments. Each of the characters is likeable even when you're not supposed to like them. Rachel, dressing with the fashion sense of a grandma and a toddler... Awesome.

When Conan hosted the Late Show he was good. When he took over on the Tonight Show he was better. When he refused to conform to NBC's ridiculous scheduling plans he was brilliant. When he closed his brief tenure as host, he did so with 100% class.
