Week 6

Comedy: John Tucker Must Die (2006)
This is about 3 girls who’ve been played and burned by the school’s biggest hotshot and are now out for revenge. Normally, this isn’t my kind of film but for some reason I find this one hilarious! The story’s funny, the music’s good, and the girls are great!

Romance: Love Actually (2003)
This film follows a handful of different stories about love that are all connected by the people involved and all try to explain the different aspects of love. This is a great film; it’s a very good story, the cast is amazing, and it always makes me smile.
NOTE: My favorite story is the one with Colin Firth.

Kid Appropriate: Lilo and Stitch (2002)
This is a film about how a little alien helps two Hawaiian sisters form a family again. This movie is cute, funny, and the overall film fits in perfectly with the other Disney classics like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King (although it is not a musical).

Guy Appropriate: Domino (2005)
A film based on the real women Domino Harvey, the daughter of an English actor who became a bounty hunter in LA. This movie is a fast paced, sharp edged, tough story that I love; it’s funny and dark and a great film.

Must See…STAND UP ACT: Ellen DeGeneres Here and Now (2003)
Ellen’s stand up show she taped the same year she made her big come back to comedy by starting her talk show and staring in Finding Nemo. This hour long stand up act is hilarious! Ellen is my favorite comedian and what I love about her act is it doesn’t poke fun at anyone in particular but rather makes fun of the things we do every day and after you see it, whenever you do something she was talking about, it makes you laugh.

Coming Soon: Definitely, Maybe
Released: February 14, 2008*
This film is about a father who tells his daughter the story of the three love interests in his life and the girl is trying to figure out which one is her mother. This looks sweet and I like the two leads: Abigail Breslin and Ryan Reynolds.

Don’t Bother: Unfaithful (2002)
This film is about a woman who carries on an affair with a young foreign man while lying to her husband and her son about her actions. This was horrible! The story was crap, the acting was fine but it was basically porn film that they were able to get down to an R rating.
