Chick Flick Central

While I am still a 10-year-old boy in many senses, chick-flicks still never get old! Yesterday I re-watched Bridget Jones Diary, then continued on my path to feel-good cheesyness and watched 100 Girls, and then tonight came Love and Other Disasters.



Miss Jones.. it's great to see a romantic-comedy that embraces the negatives of a woman, shows her attempting to improve herself, failing, and a wonderful movie-perfect man who claims to like her "just the way she is." Shyeah right! But we all love them! We all have our dumb movie fantasies about what we wish men were like.. unfortunately, in reality, they are all little boys, many with commitment problems!

So, like i said, I am Obsessed with cutsy, cudly type films, but every once in awhile they should have a film that does not involve man and woman interacting in any way! Yes, they have action and horror, but firstly, everyone knows horror films are just a tactless way to get a guy to put their arm around a gal and comfort her, and secondly.. action stories always have a hot chick treated like an object.

Okay, so to market most movies there has to be some lovey-dovey aspect, 100 Girls did a wonderful job of portraying this 'must-have love in all films' into a fight of the sexes. They defended and bashed down both genders, which was hilarious to watch, and had tons of points I agreed with on both ends. But the ending was WAY too corney, even for me!

Carrying on... Britney Murphey stars in a british rom-com, and Gweneth Paltrow and sexy Mr. Bloom turn up at the end. Great cast for this genre.. and a lovely movie! Filled with homosexuality - the idea that all the perfect men are gay........ so true!

Anyways, I have had quite the fantasizing weekend, and its going to carry on! Next up on my list is Serendipity, which will fulfill my new obsession with John Cusack!
