DVDs out today:
Marley & Me - I still refuse to see this movie on the basis that it looks too much like the Beethoven movies and I never liked those. I know that's close-minded or whatever, but I'm a person that sticks to their convictions, crazy or not.
Seven Pounds - I would still like to see this movie, but I'm not rushing out to see it. I'll wait til it makes it's way up my Netflix queue.
Slumdog Millionaire - YAY!!! I already bought it! So have my parents (and that's saying something. My dad usually dislikes everything and they haven't bought a DVD in ages). This movie is BEYOND amazing! The story and the presentation of said story was brilliant. It really is no wonder this movie dominated the Oscars this year. It's actually a travesty that it didn't win more than 8. Also, I'm in love with Dev Patel. He's officially made it into my Husbands List.
G-widdily-dweedily-oodies. Yeah.
Underrated movie of the post: School of Rock. This movie was actually quite funny and it had a pretty awesome soundtrack. I mean, who didn't want a teacher like Jack Black? Play music rather than learn? Sign me up!
Movies to see: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (If you haven't seen it: You. Are. Ridiculous. But don't bother asking to borrow my copy. I'm not letting it out of my sight), School of Rock, and Seven Pounds.
Trailer of the post: Year One. First off, I love Michael Cera. Secondly, I love when movies have a main star or two and then a whole bunch of hilarious actors make little cameos (i.e. Paul Rudd and David Cross). Thirdly, enjoy.
Name 7 Jack Black: Saving Silverman, Orange County, Kung Fu Panda, Nacho Libre, Anchorman, School of Rock, Tropic Thunder.
Jack Black was in Saving Silverman with Steve Zahn who was in You've Got Mail with Tom Hanks who was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.
Quote Quiz #57 winner: Katie with War, Inc! I'm so proud. Everyone needs to see this movie. It's beyond hilarious. Me + Dark Comedies = Love.
Quote Quiz #58: Name this Jack Black movie:
"That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard! That's totally non-sequitary!"
a. Orange County
b. Saving Silverman
c. Be Kind Rewind
d. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
I know you're probably upset that I didn't tell you what my Husband List was. So I will write it here. Because I'm so sure you want to know. Haha.
My Husband List as of March 31, 2009
1. Rupert Grint
2. Garrett Hedlund
3. Dev Patel
4. Zachary Levi (Not Efron you freaks. You know who you are.)
5. Bruce Willis

John Cusack, Part Deux
Movies out today:
Monsters vs. Aliens - Yay pointless child's movie that makes you laugh til you cry! Plus it'll be fun with the all-star cast behind the voices. (Ex. Stephen Colbert, Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Laurie, Seth Rogan, Kiefer Sutherland, etc.)
Haunting in Connecticut - Completely NOT interested. Ghost movies are my list of things not to see. But it does have Reed from CSI:NY. Yay!
12 Rounds - I hate to admit it, but this movie actually looks okay. I mean, we all know John Cena can't act when he's outside of the WWE, but this plot line looks far better than the plot line for The Marine. Anything is better than that plot line.
"Don't you just love him?" goodies.
Underrated movie of the post: Grosse Point Blank. Because you don't normally see John Cusack as a hitman going to his High School Reunion. (Just that should make you want to see it, if you have interests in anything at all)
Movies to see: Grosse Point Blank, Monsters vs. Aliens, and, yes I'm going to put it on here, 12 Rounds (but don't quote me if it turns out to suck).
Trailer of the post: 2012. Here's the synopsis quoted directly from everyone's favorite movie site, IMDB, "An academic researcher leads a group of people in a fight to counteract the apocalyptic events that were predicted by the ancient Mayan calendar." Now here's the trailer:
Looks interesting, no? A little reminiscent of Day After Tomorrow, but John Cusack instead of Dennis Quaid. No hot boys to replace Jake Gyllanhaal, though. Too bad.
Name 7 John Cusack (part deux): Igor, Being John Malkovich, Pushing Tin, Grace is Gone, Serendipity, Con Air, America’s Sweethearts.
John Cusack was in Serendipity with Kate Beckinsale who was in Underworld with Michael Sheen who was in Frost/Nixon with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps AND I used Michael Sheen for the first time. Yay!
Quote Quiz #56 winner: No one and I am HIGHLY disappointed in both Katrina and Katie. I've forced you both to watch Cry-Baby! You should remember all the ridiculous-ness of that movie! Shame on you! SHAME ON YOU!!!!
Here's the scene. You may want to fast-forward through all the nasty kissing scenes. John Waters takes it to the extreme. Just wait til it loads and go to 3:20.
Quote Quiz #57: name this John Cusack movie:
"But the way I look at it is this: the day we can actually feel and hear all the suffering of mankind, that's the day when "The Christ" will come back! So we got that going for us."

b. Better Off Dead
c. War, Inc.

Johnny Depp + More!
DVD out last Saturday:
Twilight - I've decided that since they are probably going to make the rest of the books into movies that I will wait to buy the DVDs when they come out with the collection (as I am going to do with the Pirates movies). That is IF I want them by then because I definitely don't want it now.
DVDs out Tuesday:
Bolt - Although that little hamster in his ball looks funny, I am wholly not interested.
Quantum of Solace - This movie was a pretty big deal last summer, but I found it about as interesting as the first. Thankfully, it was shorter. It was okay, just not fantastic.
Beautiful, beautiful goodies.
Underrated movie of the post: Once Upon a Time in Mexico. This movie was a pretty good action flick, but the best part was Johnny Depp's character. He is a twisted FBI agent who is beyond hilarious. If you decide to see it for any reason, he should be that reason.
Movies to see: Once Upon a Time in Mexico and every other Johnny Depp movie available and nothing else.
Random information of the post: My "Old Man Crush" Bruce Willis was married this weekend to a woman almost half his age. She a model and, of course, a total babe, but I can't help being more than a little upset seeing as how much I love him. I guess it was truly never meant to be. Alas.
Trailer of the post: Public Enemies. This movie looks great. Any movie with Johnny Depp is going to be good simply because he's in it and he doesn't choose crappy movies.
Name 7 Johnny Depp: Sleepy Hollow, Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, Secret Window.
Johnny Depp was in Ed Wood with Sarah Jessica Parker who was in Footloose with Kevin Bacon: 2 steps.
Quote Quiz #55 winner: Katie with Sunshine! I'm proud of you for not falling for my little trick even though it was very clever of me.
Quote Quiz #56: Name this Hottie...I mean Johnny Depp movie:
"It's not sexy! Electricity makes me insane!"
a. Ed Wood
b. Once Upon a Time in Mexico
c. Ninth Gate
d. Cry-Baby

Mark Strong
Movies out today:
Duplicity - Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are retired spies or something(?) and they decide to steal lots of money from Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson or something(?). Whatever.
I Love You, Man - Going to see this tonight! I'm so freaking excited. Paul Rudd is the greatest and my love for Jason Segal is growing as well (hopefully we won't have to see his junk in this movie like in Forgetting Sarah Marshall). This movie is going to be awesome.
Knowing - I actually want to see this movie pretty badly. I am very intrigued by the story line and I really like Rose Byrne (from Troy. She's the lucky one who got to lie next to Brad Pitt while he was naked). Those "whisper people" look pretty freaky though...
Some Strong Goodies
Don't remember who Mark Strong is? Here's a picture. I'm sure you'll recognize him. He's been in everything.
Underrated movie of the post: Sunshine. This movie was actually pretty great for the most part. I really loved the story and the awesome scenes from space. It got a little weird at the end, but all in all it was cool. Plus, Chris Evans is in it as the snarky, good looking one. Nice.
Movies to see: Knowing, I Love You Man, and Sunshine.
Trailer of the post: The Young Victoria. What's this? A period piece that doesn't star Keira Knightley? I like pretty much all the actors in this movie and I'm intrigued by a film about a Queen that isn't Queen Elizabeth. I don't know much about Victoria and know more than enough about Elizabeth. So, in conclusion, I want to see it.
Name 7 Mark Strong: Body of Lies, Stardust, RocknRolla, Tristen and Isolde, Sunshine, Babylon A.D, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.
Mark Strong was in Body of Lies with Leonardo DiCaprio who was in The Departed with Jack Nicholson who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.
Quote Quiz #54 winner: Katrina with Smart People! Listen, Katrina, you really need to start writing more than just the answer in your comments. Write maybe your process of how you came up with the answer. Whether it's "I've seen this one!" or "It can't be a or b". Just take a look at Katie's posts. She's very good at it. I just need a little more from you to know you're not a big cheater! haha.
Quote Quiz #55: Name this Mark Strong movie:
"At the end of time, a moment will come when just one man remains. Then the moment will pass. Man will be gone. There will be nothing to show that we were ever here... but stardust."
a. Stardust
b. Babylon A.D.
c. Sunshine
d. Body of Lies

Dennis Quaid
A very anti-climatic DVD release this week:
Punisher: War Zone - This movie didn't even have Thomas Jane like the original! Who wants to see a sequel without the original actor? I mean, I can understand Batman and such, but if it's a lesser known movie then you should definitely stick to what you had. I didn't even know the original did that well to deserve a sequel. Needless to say, I haven't seen this one and I don't really plan on it. The original is pretty good action/senseless-violence flick, though, so I would recommend it to anyone who's into the same stuff I am.
A Big Smile of Goodies
Underrated movie of the post: Day After Tomorrow. This movie is pretty awesome. It was released a few years before Global Warming and Al Gore became really popular. The special effects are pretty cool and the acting isn't half bad. The best part? Jake Gyllanhaal of course. He's so pretty.
Movies to see: Punisher (the original) and Day After Tomorrow.
Trailer of the post: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. While I was more into Barbies when it came to dolls (I mean, action figures...right...) and Scooby Doo when it came to cartoons, I am most definitely going to see this movie because of all the great actors (Dennis Quaid), the not-so-good-but-rather-good-looking actors (Channing Tatum), and the wonderful combo of great-acting-AND-good-looking actors (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).
Name 7 Dennis Quaid: Day After Tomorrow, Vantage Point, The Rookie, Parent Trap, Smart People, Flight of the Phoenix, Playing By Heart.
Dennis Quaid was in Flight of the Phoenix with Hugh Laurie who was in more than 5 episodes of "House, M.D." with Jennifer Morrison who was in Stir of Echoes with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.
Quote Quiz #53 winner: No one! It was Doom; an okay movie, lots of action/gore. I liked it.

Dah-wayne "The Rock" Johnson
Movies out today:
Last House on the Left - While many people I know are outspoken against this movie, I've decided to give it a shot. I know that the original involved a woman seducing a man and biting off his downstairs, but I'm going to see the new one anyway. I thought it was scary, but now it just looks cool. Not that I think biting off someone's downstairs is a good thing...
Miss March - This movie looks dumb. It doesn't even have any hunky men to draw me in. Just Hugh Hefner who is beyond icky.
Race to Witch Mountain - I really wanna see this movie. I love Dah-wayne Johnson. "The Rock Obama" = Priceless. Also, is it just me or is anyone else slightly attracted to that little blond boy? I looked, he's not even 17. That's wrong on so many levels. But seriously, when he is just standing there as that car slams into him? Come on! Anyone?
If you smmmmeeeeelllllll what the Goodies are cookin'
Underrated movie of the post: Be Cool. This is the sequel to Get Shorty, but I saw Be Cool and I'm glad I did because seeing Get Shorty might have thrown me off. Be Cool is infinitely better than Get Shorty, probably just a generational thing because there are more "hip" actors in Be Cool, but I don't care. Need more proof? The Rock is a flaming homosexual and Vince Vaughn is the ultimate "wigger". It's amazing, go see it.
Movies to see: Last House on the Left, Race to Witch Mountain, and Be Cool (don't even bother with Get Shorty).
Trailer of the post: Planet 51. I honestly don't know what this movie is going to be about, but it looks humorous regardless. I like the concept as well.
Name 7 Dah-wayne Johnson: Rundown, Game Plan, Mummy Returns, Scorpion King, Be Cool, Get Smart, Southland Tales.
The Rock was in Southland Tales with J.Tim. (Justin Timberlake) who was in Alpha Dog with Bruce Willis who was in 12 Monkeys with Brad Pitt who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon: 4 steps. (I know it's a long one, but it got pretty much all my favorite actors in one go. Yay me.)
Quote Quiz #52 winner: K-to the-T Hesser with Prime! I knew it was a tricksy one and I managed to throw off Katrina. Huzzah!

Meryl Streep
It's a big DVD load this week:
Batman Anthology: Batman = Love.
Cadillac Records: All I know is Adrian Brody and Beyonce were in this movie. It's a period piece from the fifties, I believe, about a record company? Dunno.
Milk: Personally, I'm not interested. I know there is a huge cast and it won a lot of Oscars, but it's still just a government-ish movie and I can't stand (or understand) politics. Plus, I learned my lesson when it comes to movies with man-on-man action (Brokeback Mountain).
Pinocchio: It's back out of the Disney Vault. Not a big fan of it so I don't really care, but others do so I'm including it.
Rachel Getting Married: I'm (again) not a big fan of Anne Hathaway, but I really want to see this one just because she (apparently) did so well in it. I don't even know what it's about, so this is the perfect example of how TV and Hollywood are controlling my life.
Role Models: This movie is AMAZING!!!! I'm going to buy it as soon as I have money again (which should be soon! Huzzah!)
Transporter 3: See above.
Here are some Dancing Goodies! Young and sweet only seventeen!
Underrated movie of the post: The Hours. This movie was an intense drama, but it was really, REALLY good. No wonder Nicole Kidman won an Oscar (I think...). And it has Julianne Moore! Love them all.
Movies to see: Role Models, Transporter 3, Rachel Getting Married, The Hours.
Trailer of the post: Julie & Julia. Okay, I lied. The fact is, I'm tired, and I assumed there would be a trailer for this movie, but, alas, I was mistaken. So instead of trying to change my Meryl Streep topic to something else, I've decided to stick with it.
Julie & Julia stars Amy Adams as Julie Powell, a woman who decides to take Julia Child's (Streep) cookbook and make 524 recipes in 365 days. It's based off a book and, even though there's no trailer, you can imagine how funny and scatterbrained it's going to be. Apparently, Amy Adams is going to be channelling the spirit of Meryl Streep as she tries frantically to complete her challenge. Looks cute. Here's a few pictures since I was so lame in the trailer department.
Name 7 Meryl Streep: Mamma Mia!, The Hours, The Devil Wears Prada, Lemony Snickett’s, Sophie’s Choice, Dangerous Liaisons, Doubt.
Meryl Streep was in The Hours 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 #51 winner: Kristina with Snatch! Apparently she knows this movie like the back of her hand as well. So she has Snatch on one hand and all Vin Diesel movies on the other. Weird hands...
Quote Quiz #52: Name this Meryl Streep movie:

b. Prime

Jason Statham
Movie out today:
The Watchmen: I went to see the midnight showing for this movie and I have to say it was pretty great. I mean, it was L-O-N-G (so don't drink any liquids for a few hours beforehand if you have an absurdly small bladder like me) and a little talk-y, but I was able to keep up with what was going on so no worries. The acting was good, the action was great, and it kept me guessing. The worst part? There wasn't much offered in the looks department. I mean, Jeffrey Dean Morgan was there and everything, but only barely and he was a dirty pervert making it difficult for me to love him as usual. Oddly enough, though, I was very attracted to Billy Crudup, but only as Dr. Manhattan. He just isn't as good looking unless he's blue and glowing. Oh and watch out for the blue penis. Yeah, blue penis.
High Speed Goodies.
Underrated movie of the post: What movie isn't underrated? I'm going to have to go with Death Race. This movie was awesome! It is one of those stupid, pointless movies that is only good for the action and good looking men.
Movies to see: Death Race and Watchmen.
Trailer of the post: Crank 2: High Voltage. "A stupid, pointless movie that is only good for action" sequel?!?! Heaven does exist!
Name 7 Jason Statham: Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Italian Job, Transporter, In the Name of the King, Bank Job, Chaos, Death Race.
Jason Statham is in Italian Job with Charlize Theron who was in Trapped with Kevin Bacon: 2 steps.
Quote Quiz #50 winner: Technically no one guessed Tomb Raider 2. Molly guessed either A or B, but she stuck with A. So no one wins. Bummer. Aw heck, I'm giving Molly half a point! But don't make a habit of guessing multiple answers! I'm just in a fantastic mood today because it's SPRING BREAK!!!

Gerard Butler = Sexy, Sexy Man
Movies out on DVD today:
Australia - This movie may have been long, but it was well worth it. Each time you thought it was over, it would pick back up with a brand new plot line. Usually I'm adverse to such things, but it was like watching 3 connected short stories so it was all good. The best part was all the beautiful shots of Australian landscapes (and constant Hugh Jackman wasn't bad either).
Beverly Hills Chihuahua - My parents told me they want to see this... I'm not so okay with this. But they have few chances to pick movies so I have to give them something every now and again.
THESE ARE GOODIES!!!
Underrated movie of the post: Nim's Island. This movie was actually pretty cute. Abigail Breslin is growing up to be a lovely actress (who doesn't have her name plastered all over the tabloids) and Jodie Foster is a hair-brained writer (remind you of anyone?). But the real prize is Gerard Butler who played a nerdy dad AND a sexy adventurer. Want to know how this could be? Watch it!
Movies to see: Australia (just don't drink anything for a few hours beforehand. I made that mistake and had to pee through the last hour), Beverly Hills Chihuahua (if your parents force you), and Nim's Island.
Trailer of the post: The Ugly Truth. What's this? Katherine Heigl playing a semi-annoying female coupled with a good looking male who annoys her? Hm... I may have seen this one... *ahem* Knocked Up 27 Dresses *ahem*
Name 7 Gerard Butler: Phantom of the Opera, Nim’s Island, P.S. I Love You, Dear Frankie, 300, Tomb Raider 2, Reign of Fire.
Gerard Butler was in Phantom of the Opera with Emmy Rossum who was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon: 2 steps.
Quote Quiz #49 winner: Katrina again. I'm pretty sure she's a cheater, Molly and Katie. I have no way to catch her on it. Sorry. You'll just have to step it up and guess before her. Haha.
Quote Quiz #50: Name this Gerard Butler movie:
"I started thinking. I was tired of doing things somebody else's way, and it was always going be somebody else's way."
a. RocknRolla
b. Tomb Raider 2
c. Reign of Fire
d. Dear Frankie
