MOVIES

Release Date | 2003

Watching movies whether it be on the sofa or in the theater is one of our favorite hobbies. Some of the movies we enjoy watching are the Lord of the rings, Star Wars, A Walk in the Clouds, and Indian Jones, to name a few. The TV show "Lost" which follows the lives of various individuals and groups of people, most importantly the survivors of the crash of a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney and Los Angeles, on a mysterious tropical island somewhere in the South Pacific, is an incredibly addictive series that at times left us lost - still a must watch. See some great links to Upcoming Movies, reviews and information on your favourtie actors and actresses with the Internet Movie Database.

The Vancouver sporting events that we usually attend take place at BC Place stadium or at General Montors place, now Rogers Arena.

Our favorite football teams are the BC Lions in the CFL and in the NFL Alex is loyal to the Cleveland Browns while Liliana roots for the Dallas Cowboys.
