A Special Turkey Day Hugh Jackman

Sexiest Man of the Year? Ka-dur! I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about People's choice for the SMotY, but after seeing Australia last night, I have no doubt. I lost count of the number of times that me and my three female friends swooned in that movie, but I can tell you that it was pretty much EVERY time he was on screen. Can you blame me?




Speaking of, here are the movies that are out on this wonderful Thanksgiving weekend:

Transporter 3 - Jason Statham is the new Sylvester Stallone/Jean Claude Van Dam/Jackie Chan. How is he all of these in one? See the movie and you'll find out. Don't expect a great plot line, though. The Transporters are simply action movies where they fill the 2 hours with as much action as possible (everything from car chases to explosions) and they have no room for a plot line.

Australia - This movie was beyond amazing! 2 hours and 40 minutes of pure awesome-ness! There are cute children, sexy/fine Hugh Jackman, hilarious Nicole Kidman, delightfully evil David Wenham, and a Mocha Missionary!! An island full of mocha children! Could anyone ask for more? But there was more! The plot lines (there are multiple) were all fantastic and kept you riveted throughout! Go see it.

Four Christmases - I haven't seen this goodie, but I intend to soon. It looks hilarious and the Reese Witherspoon/Vince Vaughn pair is new and interesting. Besides that, it's just going to be a funny movie.

Also, Bolt came out last week with Twilight, but no one really cares unless you have a small child. I do like that little hamster, though. Perhaps, I will partake.

Goodies!

Underrated movie of the post: Kate & Leopold. This movie is beyond cute, as are all Meg Ryan chick flicks. The difference between all of her others and this? For one, Hugh Jackman and his adorable-ness. And Breckin Meyer, Liev Schrieber, and Time Travel. What more could you want?

Movies to see: Australia, Four Christmases, Transporter 3, and Kate & Leopold.

Trailer of the post: You don't have to be a Trekkie to be excited for this movie.





Name 7 Hugh Jackman: Kate and Leopold, X-Men, Prestige, Van Helsing, Australia, Deception, Fountain.

Hugh Jackman was in Australia with Nicole Kidman who was in Eyes Wide Shut with Tom Cruise who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.

Quote Quiz #24 winner: Molly again with Two Weeks Notice. On a personal note, when I was trying to find the perfect quote for Hugh Grant last post, I found myself laughing at my computer as I read over them all. That dude is hilarious.

Hugh Grant and an Amazing Twilight Review!

While everyone has their own opinion of the Twilight movie, we all know that mine is the best. Contrary to popular belief (and what I said to everyone within earshot after the movie), my opinion of Twilight has been altered slightly. (Pause for shock and awe). Now don't be too shocked or full of awe because I've only flip-flopped on a few points and that is only after I have spoken to some very intelligent people down at U of A. Okay, here it goes:

My stance on Twilight on a whole was it was an atrocity: Flipped! At first I could not get past the over-acting and over-dramatized conversations between Edward and Bella. I previously compared it to a movie some Junior High kids made. When I vocalized this point to my afore-mentioned smart friends in Tucson, they pointed out that, originally, the books were supposed to be for teenagers/young adults (all those mothers and Mormon Mommies out there are just crazies). So I suppose I'm just ahead of my time or I just have a higher standard for movies (probably the latter). With this new enlightened viewpoint, I have since changed my opinion of the movie as a whole. I've lowered my expectations even more after the fact and I have decided it was good for what it was.

I will never spend money on Twilight again (in theaters or DVD): Flipped! After discovering that I was watching the movie with too high of expectations, I realized I'd like to see the movie again to see if my drastic discovery will drastically change my inner feelings of the movie. Also, since I collected the books, my OCD demands that I also collect the movies as they are released. I have a problem.

Robert Pattinson was a terrible Edward: Semi-flipped! The kid has his moments. There were a few scenes that I actually approved of and he looked pretty fine a couple of times.

My positions on the movies that have not and will not be budged:

Negatives... Sorry Molly/Kristina/Aunt Janette.
~ Robert Pattinson cannot act. All, I repeat, all of the overly dramatic scenes involved him. I actually looked forward to the scenes that he wasn't going to be in.
~ The "falling in love" was too rushed. I didn't believe it and the story left too many holes for my brain to fill in with stuff from the book like I do with Harry Potter.
~ The screenwriter cut out or cut short important scenes and focused instead on scenes that weren't vitally necessary.

Positives!! Yay!
~ Alice and Jasper were the greatest. They didn't have as big of roles as I would have liked, though. I know it supposed to be all about Edward and Bella, but I love Alice and Jasper more! Why couldn't Stephenie Meyer write about them?!
~ The normal kids (or muggles by Harry Potter standards) were hilarious. That Eric kid was awesome and who knew that Mike had a personality besides the annoying one that Meyer paints in the book?
~ Charlie had a personality and it was funny! That scene where he's cleaning the gun... hilarious!
~ James = so fine!
~ Victoria's ending that hints at New Moon was pretty cool, though full of holes. I'm going to point them out, even though I liked it: Edward can read minds up to 3 miles, why didn't he hear her? Alice would have seen her coming. She doesn't have self-control so she would have either attacked Edward and Bella right there or one of the hundreds of kids downstairs.
~ Jacob was awesome! Understandably, his part was a little short, but from what I could see Taylor Lautner has it down. Because he was barely in it, we aren't completely sure he can act amazingly, but we'll soon find out in New Moon (which has already been scheduled for production). Because of my crankiness-induced hatred of Edward in the movie, I actually slipped over to the Jacob side. This of course would never happen in real life, just in 2am-haven't-slept-well-in-weeks life.

I'd like to point out that there were more Positives than Negatives.

Movies out on DVD Tuesday:

Fred Claus - This movie came out in theaters over a year ago (November 7, 2007). Many a people were aggravated at the studio's refusal to release it on DVD until Christmastime the next year and I have to concur. Who cares? I'm sure you wouldn't have gotten as much money releasing it in February, but by releasing it a year later, people have forgotten whether or not they liked it. It's a lose-lose situation, but you lose slightly less if you just release it right away.

Hancock - This movie was pretty good. I would have said it was AWESOME, but it knocked itself down a few pegs when halfway through it turned into a drama. But the storyline was intriguing and Will Smith was hilarious.

Goodies!

Underrated movie of the post: Music & Lyrics. I'd forgotten how cute this movie is and how HILARIOUS Hugh Grant is in it. All of his sarcastic and witty comments made that movie. Also, for those of you who have seen Speed Racer, the lead singer Colin from PoP! is Young Rex Racer! That dude is fine!

Movies to see: Twilight (you should at least see it once), Hancock, Music & Lyrics.

Movie Trailer of the Post!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!!!!



Yay Harry Potter!!!! Can I just point out how AWESOME Ron Weasley is? He is the greatest!

Name 7 Hugh Grant: Music and Lyrics, Two Weeks Notice, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Bridget Jones’ Diary, About a Boy, Nine Weeks, Sense and Sensibility.

Hugh Grant was in Bridget Jones' Diary with Colin Firth who was in Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon: 2 steps.

Quote Quiz #23 winner: Molly with Anchorman. Although Ben Stiller's part is small and relatively insignificant compared to the rest of the film, he is apart of the funniest scene in said film and therefore awesome.

Quote Quiz #24: Name this Hugh Grant movie:
"And did you tell Billy you loved him? Did you say, 'Billy, I love you'?"

a. Nine Months
b. Two Weeks Notice
c. Bridget Jones' Diary
d. Love Actually

This Oughta Hold You Over

Due to Finals drawing near and a subsequent need to write multiple papers this weekend, I've decided to drive down to Tucson and attend a party. I didn't want to leave you loyal readers without anything to do over the weekend, so I've decided to leave you a few links to some SNL videos to watch over and over and over and over again. Enjoy.

Second song: sit behind the piano, put on a tiny hat, and sing the song, be intense, then you look at the...camera.

Say "hi" to your mother for me, okay?

Well I gotta be honest with ya, buddy, I've been thinkin about breakin that big beautiful nose of yours.

I feel like I want to punch you.

And if you only watch one of these, make it this last one. It's one of my all time favorites. Classic.

I drive a Dodge Stratus!

Ben Stiller

Movies out on DVD Tuesday:

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 - While I enjoyed the first movie back when I was a mere 17 years old, I realized while watching the second one how overly dramatic both films are. The second one is actually more dramatic which, I feel, is unnecessary. It had it's moments, though, and is worth watching at least once and, possibly, own far in the future when it's only $5.

Wall-E - This movie was cute! I really enjoyed Wall-E and Eve, but what I loved the most was all of the Earthlings who had gotten Extremely fat up in space. Everything was done for them and all they did was sit in hover-chairs! This movie is my dream come true.

Tropic Thunder - While I recently went out on a limb and announced that Role Models was the funniest film of the year, this movie comes in at a close second followed right behind by Pineapple Express. This movie is worth owning, immediately.

Twilight is due out this Friday, which is a mere 48 hours away, and while I am among the many who is excited for the movie (against my better judgement, I assure you), I am very close friends with someone who is NOT excited about the movie. Yes, I know a few females who disliked either the books, the movie or both! I know this is astounding, but I'm not lying. I will not reveal their names for fear that a mob of mad Mormon mothers will hunt them down (Katrina Winn, Erin Knudsen, and Diana McNeely), but I will enlighten the rest of my readers to a point that was brought to my attention.

You all know my stance on the stupid faces that Edward makes in all of the previews and pictures advertising Twilight, but I was given a YouTube video to search for in relation to said faces only to find that the similarity is striking. But I'll let you be the judge. Here's a picture of a stupid Edward face:



And here is the video in question:




Scary isn't it? They're practically the same person/animal!

Goodies!

Underrated movie of the post: Zoolander. I have heard many a silly friend tell me that they did not care for this movie. How this could possibly be, I do not know, but I have lost some respect for said friends. I know that not everyone can have the same tastes in movies as I do, but that doesn't mean I don't think they're wrong to the fullest extent of the word. This movie is hilarious on so many levels that I'm thinking only a select few are able to understand all of them. Perhaps those unable need to open their eyes a little wider next time.

Movies to see: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, Wall-E, Tropic Thunder, Zoolander, and Twilight on Friday!

Random thought of the post: Spike TV is going to be showing a Steven Segal marathon for Thanksgiving. Not only is this not related to the Pilgrims at all, it is wholly unnecessary and should be against the law. It's criminal negligence to allow that much of Steven Segal on TV in one day. Disgusting.

Name 7 Ben Stiller: Along Came Polly, Anchorman, Meet the Parents, Tropic Thunder, Starsky and Hutch, Madagascar, Mystery Men.

Ben Stiller was in Along Came Polly with Jennifer Aniston who was in Picture Perfect with Kevin Bacon: 2 steps.

Quote Quiz #22 winner: Katie! I haven't seen Bed of Roses yet, but from this quote and Christian Slater, I intend to and soon.

This One's For You, Katie.

I made a reference to one Katie Hesser alluding to the SNL Digital Short "The Chronic(What?)cles of Narnia" and she had no idea to what I was referring to. This is obviously a travesty so I'm doing a special weekend post to illuminate my dear friend. I hope you all enjoy.

I tried to embed the video, but my computer was having issues, so here's the link. Hopefully it all works out.

Mr. Pibb + Red Vines = Crazy Delicious!

Christian Slater, We Knew Ye Well.

Unfortunately, Entertainment Weekly has reported that NBC is cancelling My Own Worst Enemy. While this show wasn't the greatest TV show on the planet, it was Christian Slater's triumphant return into the world! The last big thing he was in was Bobby in 2006, but not even I knew that he was in that movie so the last big movie he was known for was Broken Arrow and I don't even know if anyone else knows about that movie beside me. It's a sad day regardless. Anyone who doesn't recognize the awesome-ness of Christian Slater is a fool.

Movie out today: Quantum of Solace. Previously on Casino Royale, it was way long, but pretty cool. This week on Quantum of Solace, it wasn't as long and still pretty cool. What have we learned? You don't need to have a movie be 3+ hours to make it good. Keep that in mind, James Bond people, for next time.

TV update: Grey's Anatomy is torturing me and all the other Denny Lovers out there. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is by far the best thing that Grey's Anatomy had and they killed him off for ratings! Now they are realizing their mistake and trying to bring back his ghost or whatever! All this is doing is angering the Karev Lovers and making the Denny Lovers cry every time he opens his mouth and spews out the most romantic things ever and know that it can't last because HE'S DEAD! So stop messing with everyone, stupid Grey's Anatomy.

Despite this, I still LOVE Jeffrey Dean Morgan and am VERY excited about the new movie in March of next year: The Watchmen. I know he's the bad guy, but I don't care. Sean Bean was the bad guy in The Hitcher, but that didn't stop me from cheering him on as he killed helpless strangers. Yeah...



Goodies!

Underrated movie of the Post: Broken Arrow. This movie is awesome not just because of Christian Slater, but because it also stars John Travolta and the desert and, above all, BIG EXPLOSIONS! Classic.

Movies to see: Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Broken Arrow.

Name 7 Christian Slater: Broken Arrow, Bobby, Austin Powers 1, Windtalkers, Bed of Roses, Hollowman 2, and Alone in the Dark.

Christian Slater was in Broken Arrow with John Travolta who was in Hairspray with Queen Latifah who was in Beauty Shop with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.

Quote Quiz #21 winner: Katie! I haven't yet seen The Final Cut, but I intend to eventually. I very much like Robin Williams.

Quote Quiz #22: Name this Christian Slater movie.
"I noticed the other morning you didn't order any breakfast. I wasn't sure if that was because you weren't a breakfast eater... or because you thought I was gonna kill you."

a. Bed of Roses
b. Bobby
c. Broken Arrow
d. Hollowman 2

Jesus and some random stuff

For those of you who don't know me, when I say Jesus I mean Jim Caviezel who played Jesus in the movie Passion of the Christ. And while I have yet to see this movie, he will always be Jesus (plus it's always worth the reaction on people's faces when I shout "Hey look! Jesus!" while watching movies/TV).

Yesterday was a lovely new record. Katrina, Katie Hesser and I watched a total of five movies...in a row. That's over 10 hours of sitting on my butt, mocking whichever actor is on the screen, and swooning over Paul Rudd. I did however educate them on the finer points of the movies: The Boondock Saints, Saved!, Willow, Clueless and The Perfect Score.

Another flawless transition, Bryan Greenberg, one of the stars of The Perfect Score, came out with a CD in 2007. While I normally frown upon actors trying their hand at singing, I'm infatuated enough with Mr. Greenberg that I have overlooked this fact and purchased his CD. Luckily enough it is Alternative which happens to be my music choice currently. Needless to say, I'm listening to it right now and love it.

Keeping in line with The Perfect Score, Chris Evans, resident heartthrob of such movies as London and the Fantastic Four fame, is starring in a new movie by the name of Push. What is this gem about, you ask? Why it is pretty much the show Heroes only with a hotter actor and a cooler bad guy. Enjoy.



Back to a few paragraphs ago, according to IMDB, there is a sequel to The Boondock Saints in the works, scheduled to come out sometime next year. While I'm sure this movie is going to be amazing (especially with the twins coming back, Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus), I'm sincerely worried about all these prolonged sequels to things (i.e. Die Hard 4, Indiana Jones 4 and possibly 5) coming out years after the last one. While this can sometimes be a good thing seeing as they took all those years to come up with adequate script, I'm starting to fear that Hollywood is running out of ideas for new movies. Scary thought. What would I do without movies to comment on? Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my worst nightmare. Haha.

Last and most certainly not least, last night around midnight I received a text informing me that my dear friend Kay Gray and her fiancee Nate had not checked in from their hiking trip. I spent most of the night tossing and turning as I waited for more information. I'm very pleased to say that as of 11am this morning they have been found and are in otherwise perfect condition. I will be giving Kay a good thrashing for having everyone worried about her, but I would just like to thank my good friend Jim Caviezel for rescuing them with his troop off...Giraffes!



Holy Goodies, Batman...I mean, Jesus!

Underrated movie of the post: G.I. Jane. This movie came out all of eleven years ago and I only recently watched it for the first time. I must admit that it is a very powerful movie and Mrs. Kutcher gives an amazing performance. The best part? Jesus was there training to be a Navy Seal along with her and Viggo Mortenson!

Movies to see: G.I. Jane and Hellboy 2 came out on DVD today. Rent away!

Random observance: Have you noticed that Twilight actors are showing up all over prime time television? Here's a list:
Sarah Clarke (Renee) - The Cleaner on August 26
Billy Burke (Charlie) - Fringe on November 11
Taylor Lautner (Jacob) - My Own Worst Enemy as a reoccurring role
Kellan Lutz (Emmett) - 90210 as a reoccurring role
Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) - The Cleaner on September 30
Jose Zuniga (Mr. Molina) - CSI: Miami on September 22
Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria) - CSI: Las Vegas on November 6
Edi Gathegi (Laurant) - Life on Mars on November 6
Elizabeth Reaser (Esme) - The Ex List as the star
Naturally each show has a preview for Twilight during the commercials. Odd way to promote a movie, but maybe these people are just testing the television waters to see if they have a fallback career if the movies doesn't do well. Who knows?

Name 7 Jesus: Passion of the Christ, The Count of Monte Cristo, Deja Vu, G.I. Jane, Angel Eyes, High Crimes, Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius.

Jesus was in G.I. Jane with Demi Moore who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon: 2 steps.

Quote Quiz #20 winner: Molly again with Forgetting Sarah Marshall! She's on a roll here, ladies, you'd better watch out!

Since 20 is a multiple of 10, I figure I'd start informing you guys of who is winning in the Quote Quiz race: Molly is winning with a total of 7 with Katie Hesser close behind at 6. Katrina started late and hasn't put reading my blog into her daily routine so we'll give her a break. She has been right most of the time, though, so you other girls better hope she doesn't get her act together. Haha.

Quote Quiz #21: What Jesus movie is this from?
"It's for the greater good, Alan. Your life will mean something. I promise."

a. Deja Vu
b. The Passion of the Christ
c. Angel Eyes
d. The Final Cut

Paul Rudd!

How awesome is Paul Rudd? Rhetorical question because it is known far and wide that he's the most awesome dude ever surpassing all other awesome dudes. I just watched him on The Daily Show last night and he did this awesome dance. It was beyond beautiful. The man is the greatest.





I always wanted something special to be my first video posted on a blog and I'm glad that I've found it. You can expect many more after this.

Movies out today:

Role Models - Paul Rudd, Seann William Scott and yet another Elizabeth Banks movie (her second in two weeks. She's all over the place!). But I think the real reason everyone will be seeing this is for that crazy kid from That's So Raven (Bobb'e J. Thompson) and McLovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). And Paul Rudd!

Madagascar 2 - I have to admit that the first Madagascar was worth the money and the time it took me to convince my younger cousin Dakota to go with me (taking a small child to a kiddy movie makes you seem less ridiculous than by yourself). But, alas, she's grown up now so it looks like I'll either go see it with someone my own age or hijack Katrina's little sister. Watch out Angelina!

Soul Men - Bernie Mac's last film. While I like him a lot and miss his funniness, I don't think I'll venture out to see this one. Unfortunately it doesn't look my cup of tea, but maybe someday.

DVD's that came out on Tuesday:

Get Smart - While I thought this movie was mildly funny, I have since lost interest. If you haven't seen it, do, but I highly doubt I will ever strive to own it in the near future. Maybe someday when it's on sale for $3.

Henry Poole is Here - This movie I wanted to see in theaters, but no one else did so since I'm a crazy and won't go see movies by myself, I missed out. However, I will be putting it on my Netflix list because who doesn't love Luke Wilson? Rhetorical, everyone loves him!

Goodies!

Underrated movie of the post: Knocked Up. It has been a while since this movie has been in theaters and while it was popular then, hardly anyone talks about it now. This movie though has a lot going for it along with crude and disgusting humor. Mainly, Paul Rudd and Seth Rogan, but other than him it's just funny in how dysfunctional it is. Also, for all of you people out there who dislike crude humor, there is a PG-13 version. Good luck finding it though. Try Suncoast.

Movies to see: Role Models, Madagascar 1 & 2, Get Smart, Henry Poole is Here, and Knocked Up.

Name 7 Paul Rudd: Clueless, Anchorman, 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Role Models, I Could Never Be Your Woman, The Object of My Affection.

Paul Rudd was in Night at the Museum with Kim Raver who was in 24 with Kiefer Sutherland who was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps AND a Kiefer Sutherland reference for Katrina. Bonus Points!

Movie Collection Update! - I've added Incredible Hulk (Edward Norton version), Goonies, Willow and Music and Lyrics. That puts me up to an even 160! Jealous? Haha.

Quote Quiz #18 AND #19 winner: Molly! You've made a spectacular come back. #18 was Sahara, a classic book and movie, and #19 was A Love Song for Bobby Long. Something I haven't seen, but intend to asap. Yay Gabriel Macht.

Quote Quiz #20: What Paul Rudd movie is this from?
"When life gives you lemons, just say 'F*ck the lemons,' and bail."

a. Anchorman
b. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
c. Knocked Up
d. Clueless

Gabriel Macht

So it's only been a few days since my last post, but something awesome has taken place that I couldn't wait to inform you, my dear public. The Twilight Original Motion Picture Soundtrack has hit stores as of yesterday and there are two tracks that feature the singing stylings of one Mr. Robert Pattinson. Yes, Cedric Diggory is apparently stepping out of the closet as a singer. The best part? I've heard it and... it's not so good. In fact, it's boring and he slurs his words so you really have no idea what the heck he's singing about. Don't believe me? YouTube.


Click on any one of the videos on this webpage and listen for yourself. I just hope he doesn't decide to hide that pretty face of his in a sound studio somewhere. We love you Rob, but you need to stick to reading scripts and not lyrics.

Gabriel (Macht) Goodies!

Complimentary photo (for those of you who are unawares of the beauty)



I've been a GM fan since the wonder that was American Outlaws. While everyone was drooling over Colin Farrell as Jesse James, I was more interested in his hot brother, Frank. Not only is he good looking, coming up in the new film The Spirit by my personal hero Frank Miller, and virtually unknown, he's married to Jacinda Barrett! I love Hollywood couples who don't make the news. That means there's hope for the rest of us. I suggest you partake in some GM. It may save your life.

Name 7 Gabriel Macht and Jacinda Barrett movies:
GM: American Outlaws, Because I Said So, Bad Company, Simply Irresistible
JB: School for Scoundrels, Last Kiss, Poseidon

Gabriel Macht was in Because I Said So with Diane Keaton who was in Something's Got to Give with Jack Nicholson who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.

I'm going to give you guys another chance on the Quote Quiz #18, but here's #19 too.

Quote Quiz #19: Name this Gabriel Macht movie:
"We die only once, and for such a long time."
a. Because I Said So
b. American Outlaws
c. A Love Song for Bobby Long
d. The Good Shepard

Matthew McConaughey

I'm back from the North with a new outlook on life. That outlook's name is Dazed and Confused. This movie is beyond awesome. I always knew it would be but was never presented with the opportunity to see it until Saturday and it was as glorious as I thought it would be if not more. On top of the hilarious plotline and script, the actors themselves were great. All I can say is, this one is going to join my collection and soon.

Other movies viewed this weekend:

RocknRolla - Just as I thought, this movie was amazing and priceless. I'm also willing to go see it again because, as with unintelligible British accents, I'm sure I missed a few gems. Besides, I would pay seven more dollars to see Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton's dance scene again. Easily the best part of the film.

Zack and Miri - The movie was funny as I thought it would be until about halfway through when it does a backflip and becomes a romantic comedy. It wasn't too bad once you recovered from the shock, but Michael (Molly's boy-toy) wasn't too pleased in being tricked. Which I suppose did make it better. Haha.

Chaos - Another Jason Statham movie that wasn't released in theaters here in the US. However, the plot is much more intricate than his usual "beat the crap out of people" movie. Also stars Ryan Phillippe and Wesley Snipes. All three give their standard performance: Jason's the badass with no boundaries, Ryan's the mumbling sidekick, and Wesley is the comical killer.

Goodies! (Disclaimer: I've already exhausted my Matthew McConaughey goodies so bear with me as I try to connect him to other people)

Underrated movie of the post: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Despite the corniness of this movie, it is actually quite funny. The premise is a little dopey, but it's all pulled together in the end. Hudson and McConaughey were so good together that they reunited in Fool's Gold. Although I'm not so sure that is a good example, but you get what I'm saying.

Movies to see: Zack and Miri, Dazed and Confused, and RocknRolla.

Name 7 actors in Dazed and Confused and corresponding movies:
Jeremy London - Out Cold
Rory Cochrane - Empire Records
Ben Affleck - Daredevil
Milla Jovovich - Fifth Element
Joey Lauren Adams - Big Daddy
Parker Posey - Blade Trinity
Adam Goldberg - How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Anthony Rapp was in Road Trip with Amy Smart who was in Crank with Jason Statham who was in Italian Job with Charlize Theron who was in Trapped with Kevin Bacon: 4 steps.

Quote Quiz #16 winner: No one. Even though Katrina technically guessed right verbally the other day, it wasn't written down so it doesn't count. It was Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. See it.

Quote Quiz #17 winner: Katie! It was League of Extraordinary Gentleman. I was trying to throw you off with the Bond reference earlier, but no one was tricked. Well done.

Quote Quiz #18: Name this Matthew McConaughey movie.
"I hope you don't throw like a girl!"

a. Failure to Launch
b. Fool's Gold
c. Dazed and Confused
d. Sahara
