3 movies all with sad endings

For our first Xmas in here (our city) we did not have any fancy plans. We just went to see 3 movies (1 with a few friends on Xmas Eve and the other 2 on Xmas day just together) and had dinner on Xmas Eve with our friends. Every single of the movies we watched ended with tears - what was wrong with this Xmas? Why did Hollywood premiere these tragic movies on Xmas day????

1. Seven Pounds: two things I learned from this movie - the lifespan of a Great Dane is only around 7 years, and everyday we take our health for granted, never realizing that we are actually quite fortunate to live a healthy life every day.

2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - it sucks to outlive someone you love and it's better to live forward instead of backward. But Brad Pitt is really hot.

3. Marley & Me - I liked the book better, the movie was not funny enough and sorry Jen, you are not funny and have no chemistry with Owen Wilson :( By the way, both V and I met John Grogan at a Borders book signing in Lenox three years ago. I have the photos for proof! :P

Every one of these movie really made me think about health and life this weekend.
