Movies... gad, I'm so sick of popcorn

OK, let me just preface all of this by saying that my tastes in movies covers a wide range. I love comedy, drama, thrillers and foreign/subtitled films. I like guy and chick flicks- and if you can get a chick flick where they blow stuff up... well, I'm just tickled pink. Yeah, I can be a meat head like that sometimes. ;)

Knocked Up... lets just say that I have a very twisted sense of humor. Bordering on gross and obscene. I loved this movie- NEED I SAY MORE. Yeah, this is where the meat head theory comes in to play. This movie reminded me of the good old days when I'd go watch my hubby play softball on base in Oakland, back when we were in the Navy. Sometimes I was the one of the few chicks there so you can imagine. Yup, just me and the guys hanging out. Good times. If you don't mind the typical single guy humor and can hang with the fella's like the best of them, you'll like this movie. If crude humor turns you off, don't see it.

Live Free Or Die Hard? EXACTLY... tha's what I'm talkin' about! I love Bruce Willis and have for a very long time (think teen crush on a very suave David Addison on Moonlighting... YUM!), and for me this Die Hard movie didn't disappoint. Believe it or not, I didn't find the plot of this movie as far fetched as previous Die Hard's- but I ain't saying the action wasn't there. This film 'tis very good.

Transformers? The nostalgia was bearable ;)You might think that the concept is cheesy being that it is based on an 80's cartoon, but this movie kicked butt! Animation- mind blowing and so realistic. Action- Yes, yes and yes! Story line- very humorous and the creators did a very good job sticking to the original cartoon story line IMHO.

Have you guys taken your ankle biters to see Ratatouille yet? It's very cute! A lot of kids movies these days are lack luster when comes down to content, but I have to admit this one is pretty good.

My husband found this wallpaper at the official site and asked me to take out the huge logo and words at the bottom... and I did :P Here is the original:

Here is a smaller version, so you can see what it looks like w/o the lettering:

This video is, like- totally awesome!

I watched Music & Lyrics last night... I love me some Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore! This movie was pretty formulaic, but the beginning set the tone for the movie- the beginning being this video , pretty funny. I about died when the movie started and i saw this:

Pop Goes My Heart (and yes, this is actually Hugh Grant dancing and singing in this video, *snort*)


This brings back so many memories, I can't tell you! This video makes me think of the days when synthesizers were popular and the videos were very cheesy like: Tears For Fears, Duran Duran, Wham, and AHA. ( see my Thursday Thirteen above for links to actual videos)

All these songs/videos I loved. *cringe* I can just picture myself in my slouch socks and scrunchied, permed pony tail placed high on my head, high waisted pleat front shorts and my shirt tucked in to reveal the perfect amount of blousing. *gasp* One or more of those items of clothing might have had stripes or a black and white checked pattern, including possibly my over sized Claire's Boutique earrings and ginourmous bangle bracelet.

One word... Bershon.

Anyway, this movie was very cute. I really liked it... but I enjoyed reminiscing even more. ;)

BTW, if you want to see a good Drew Barrymore movie, you should check out My Date With Drew.

I saw this movie about a year ago and loved it. It's a true story about a young guy who just wants one date with Drew... it warm, funny, and very heartfelt. I loved this movie, and you can see from the film that Drew isn't an act. She's the real deal. If you like that sort of thing check it out! I rented it through Netflix. :D You can watch the trailer here.
