"I'm sure she meets him in the evening, beaver first."

I went to see Bridesmaids with a bunch of my hunnies on Tuesday. I had heard quite a few people remark that the movie was unusually funny. So we squished into the PACKED movie theater (on like the first sunny day in forever!) to check it out.
Let me just detour here for a second to say, WHEN YOU SPEND LIKE TWENTY DOLLARS ON A POPCORN AND TWO DRINKS YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET WHATEVER FUCKING CANDY YOU WANT NOT JUST THE TOP ROW. THE TOP ROW CONSISTS OF THE SHITTIEST OF THE BUNCH, AERO BITES, ROLO BITES AND SMARTIES. Gena and I were like "yeah bitch, gimme those rolo bites, I guess..." I wanted some fucking sour patch kids or something!
I digress,
I'm going to put it really simple here so that there's no confusion; Bridesmaids was fucking hilarious. I feel like I just might spend another million dollars and buy another bag of barf bites just to watch it again. This movie is a chick flick in the sense that it has an all female cast, but it has set the bar of what a chick flick should be, A bunch of female actresses fucking killing it.  Kristen Wiig, you have my heart.

I def relate to Enid from Ghost World...awkward, directionless and sarcastic.

Day 14 – A movie that no one would expect you to love

I hate this question, I'm not so stodgey in my tastes that anyone would ever be like *gasp!* YOU like that movie?!?!?"

I don't think enough people know about my undying love of Terminator 2 though...

The Hustler

Chinatown

Bonnie and Clyde


Day 11 – A movie that changed your opinion about something

Lost in Translation made me think that Japan maybe isn't the last place on earth I would want to travel. Good hustle Sofia.





Day 12 – A movie that you hate

I'll admit Rob Zombie has an interesting aesthetic and I like the sort of vintagy psycho billy feel of his movies but this film makes my skin crawl. The violence seems like a senseless free for all. 

Day 09 – A movie with the best soundtrack

 WHIP IT!




and MARIE ANTOINETTE


                           

Day 08 – A movie that you’ve seen countless times

My father and I watched Blade Runner almost monthly as I was growing up. It became one of my favorite movies as well. Ridley Scott is a genius ( I also love Legend ). The plot, acting, set and costumes are all there for me. I love the mix of futuristic and 1940s film noir in this movie. Gah, I simply just adore it.

Honorable mention goes to Tank Girl. I spent much of my adolescence watching and re-watching it. I also bought all the comics like a dorky fan girl.

Day 07 – The most surprising plot twist or ending

I'm not gonna lie, I really just want to say SAW and I watched that movie like years after everyone else did and when that dude got up off the floor I was like " Aww helllll no!". Also the end of the Usual Suspects. Fight Club is an obvious choice. I liked the end of Book of Eli. The Departed did not end how I expected it to. American Psycho. Oh man there are just so many...

 My definitive choice HAS to be......

OLD BOY 


*Thanks to Adam Bush for the many suggestions to help me answer this tricky quandary.
**I was surprised as shit at the end of Scream.  

Day 06 – Favorite made for TV movie

I remember they made a Made For TV Movie of "Runaway: Diary of a Street Kid" I generally don't watch Made for TV Movies because I never have cable. I also remember a movie called "White Lies" with Sarah Polley that was pretty stellar when I was like 13. It was about Nazi Youth gang stuff, I believe it was before American History X.

catchin up

Day 03 – A movie that makes you really happy
                     "What do you thrash?"
                     "Whaddaya got?!"

Day 04 – A movie that makes you sad

Young wife mum of two discovers she is dieing of a terminal disease. Decides not to tell anyone and makes a list of things she needs to do before she dies. Hrtbrking.

Husband has to put his wife in a home because she has Alzheimer's and she essentially asks him to let her forget him. Hrtbrking X 34290348 

I didn't even like this movie but I had just gotten a puppy and Sarah and I bawled like BABIES. 

Day 05 – Favorite love story in a movie
Ima include my Streisand collection of hrtbrkers in here.
They were the 500 Days of Summer (This is NOT a love story) love stories of yesteryear. I think it's more realistic when shit doesn't work out, don't you?

The Most Underrated Movie

I guess I would have to pick Secretary. It's one of my absolute favorite movies and next to no one has seen it. Honorable mention goes to: United States of Leeland, The Fabulous Stains, The Proposition and Mysterious Skin.

Best movie you saw in the last year

No matter what movie I pick, I'm gonna wanna go "no wait!" in five minutes anyhow. I'm going with Blue Valentine. The acting in this was just amazing and the story was completely real and heartbreaking. Bonus points for Michelle's tap dance to Ryan's ukulele filled croonings.
