NYE in NYC

Noni is determined to have a good time at the party—you hear me, Natalie Portman?! But I digress...

Just as certain as death and taxes, while Kathy Griffin says something outrageous as the ball drops, best-NYE-movies lists pop up at the end of every year, with the usual suspects represented (and rightly so).



But every once in a while there's a curve ball, a new entrant that I had never heard of: In Search of a Midnight Kiss.

Although it reads a little douche-y in that navel-gazing hipster vein, reviews suggest otherwise. Plus, with NYC as the star attraction—the essence of romance—how bad could it be?



Flash forward to next year, hopefully the star-studded ensemble New Year's Eve won't be another one of Garry Marshall's cinematic turkeys. I won't miss it, if for no other reason than that the ever-elusive Michelle Pfeiffer has a role (and we know she doesn't grace movie screens very much anymore). [sigh]

Here's to a happy and entertaining 2011!
