My Switch-Up

I've just recently seen the two movies of interest that were released today: House Bunny and Death Race.


Death Race is a movie made for dudes. There is simply no eloquent or witty way to say it. It is a guy's movie. There is fights, cars, racing, scantily clad women who can be described as voluptuous, blood, and gore. In no way is this movie made for women, but the writers were nice enough to throw us chicks a bone. There are a few moments that tug at the heart strings of the poor women who were dragged to this movie. They revolve around a cute father/daughter story. Other than that, ladies, this isn't something that you and your girlfriends will want to run out to see. Unless you're like me and enjoy the blood and explosions just as much as the guys sitting around you, but there are very few of us.


House Bunny is on the extreme other end of the spectrum where dudes will groan as their ladies pull them along. Although, this isn't as bad because there are half-naked chicks (which is apparently reason enough to sit through an hour and a half movie) and comedy. The movie itself is actually quite cute and very hilarious. Go see this movie. You won't regret it, whether you're a dude or a chick.


In one of my very first blogs I ranted about the difference between Widescreen format and Fullscreen. Much to my surprise quite a few of the DVDs in my collection were Fullscreen (I had purchased them long before I knew what I was doing). This obviously wouldn't do, so I took it upon myself to sell these Fullscreens back to my store and purchasing the Widescreen versions. However, I wasn't able to replace all of them and had to settle for my favorites and resolve to replace the rest at a later time. Needless to say, I'm now short a few DVDs, but I have also gone off and bought some that were completely new to my collection! Here's how it breaks down:


Movies I Haven't Replaced Yet: Be Cool, Billy Madison, Blue Crush, Bruce Almighty, Chasing Liberty, Dogma, Just Like Heaven, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Phantom of the Opera, RENT, Rundown, Wimbledon, Win A Date With Tad Hamilton, Without A Paddle.

Movies I Have Added Instead: The Forgotten, Scorpion King (It came in a 3 pack with the Mummy Movies which had to be replaced), Tomb Raider 1 & 2, Simply Irresistible and last, but most certainly NOT least Newsies!

So my count has gone down from 142 to 134, but don't you worry, I'll be back up before the week is out (I'm quitting my job and want to use my employee discount as much as I can before I can't anymore! Haha).

Goodies!

Underrated movie of the post: Super Mario Bros. I absolutely love this movie. I went searching for it at my work today, but, alas, we were sold out! Bummer. But I will get it because no collection is complete unless you have this gem. Who doesn't love the Mario games? Well the movie is just as awesome. If, by some horrible atrocity, you have yet to see this movie, run out and get it somehow. You need to!

Movies to see: Death Race, House Bunny, Super Mario Bros.

Name 7 Matt Damon: Ocean's movies, Bourne movies, Dogma, Good Will Hunting, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, The Departed, The Good Shepherd.

Anna Faris was in House Bunny with Colin Hanks who was in Untraceable with Diane Lane who was in Must Love Dogs with John Cusack who was in Anastasia with Meg Ryan who was in In The Cut with Kevin Bacon: 5 steps.

A new goodie I'm adding to the line-up is a Quote Quiz and I've decided to add it because of my wonderful cousin Molly who is my inspiration in all that is blogging : ) So the way it goes is whoever posts the title of the movie that goes with the quote first is the winner! (This could also be construed as just making sure people read my blog, but I don't really care. It'll be fun so it's a win-win for me haha). For the first one, I'll start out easy:

"Oh man, I can't feel my toes... I don't have any toes!... I need a hug."
