The Big Year Coming to Blu-ray & DVD Jan
31 2012 Movie Film Bird Watching Competition Comedy
The Biggest Year Ever Is What These
Outdoormen Are Seeking
Well the lovable comedy guys are back some
more adorable than ever. I'm talking about the
classic Steve Martin, Jack Black & Owen Wilson
who are making 2012 rock with The Big Year,
which comes to Blu-ray and Dvd on January
31st,2012 which is right around the corner.
I was sent a screener copy of this dvd to
watch and it was a nice treat to have. This
whimsical presentation is based on competitive
bird watching which is not something you see
very often in film land. It's actually a
family movie that is cleaned up enough
surprisingly for the kiddo's to enjoy to with
mom and dad. I was honestly shocked as
everything I've seen Jack Black in before this
was on the filthier comedy side.
It's an improvement on his part and I hope he
keeps it up for future movie making topics.
Whomever spots the most species of birds in
North America in a single year will be the
winner. The twist is there is no prize money
to be awarded. Seeing these 3 play out this
secretive competition is funny because of
their facial expressions and voices they use.
Of course, it has to be funny with these 3 in
tow. The honor system really? How many people
do you know that could pass that? I'm guessing
not too many but that's what they are supposed
to do to accomplish their missions and win
this no prize contest. The movie reminds me
of my favorite childhood tv watching days of
The Andy Griffith Show and perhaps Leave It To
Beaver, where the honor system was all the
rage. It's nice to see a thrown back relaxed
type of movie for a change where everything is
simple and the little things in life mean more
to you. It's also great that there are no
awkward sex scenes.
Everything becomes part of the challenge as
they each try to out-do the other in this
special event of fowl watching lover's. There
are some actual bird collector facts thrown in
here and there so they did do some homework
for this to come off so natural. It's great
to have it cleaned up and the camera work is
great with tons of beautiful countryside
scenes. The area's they traveled were
amazingly picturesque locations and if you
like to see sprawling country views you'll
like this. So get yourself ready to get this
fun comedy next week for the first time it
will be available thanks to 20th Century Fox.

features available for this film.
Now if I could have my biggest year for 2012,
I would wish to meet a celebrity or go
somewhere where there are celebrity's hanging
out at least! My favorite choice of course
would be my all time #1 fave of heart throb
George Clooney, but I doubt that is ever going
to happen. Here I am in little old
Indianapolis about to have the biggest game of
the year right here Super Bowl NFL 46 only a
few days away and I'm not invited to any Super
Bowl Parties yet that any celebrity's would be
attending. It's just too bad that would be so
much fun to see some of them. I'm only ten
minutes away from Downtown Indy where dozens
of activities will be underway so you never
know what might happen
afterall a girl can dream about the life and
excitement of celebrities,right?
Maybe I'll go hang out at that new fangled
ride downtown the Zip Line and see if some
celebs show up for that next week. It looks
pretty awesome at 100 feet up in the air. I'd
never have the nerve to ride that thing but
both of my sons say they want too and are
planning on heading down there to participate
in it. No Fowl Play involved.
What would you want to happen for 2012 to be
your Biggest Year?
