Goonies

LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie :)

brings me back to my childhood when pops owned the video store :) Watched this up at the cabin last night after mom and pops went over to the trailer. i was surprised i was able to stay awake through it! My favorite part of this movie is right near the beginning when Chunk breaks the penis off the statute, then they glue it on upside down!

I also like the mouse trap like way of opening the gate for Chunk :) hehe so funny. great movie. if you haven't seen it in a while, it's a fun one to re-watch :)

haha. i thought Sean Astin would be the only one i could connect the dots with on this one... not so! Jonathan Ke Quan (Dana) was also in Encino Man! too funny.

Gone in 60 Seconds

i'm too lazy to find a dvd cover of this one, so i wont.

it took me a couple weeks to watch this one, 3 different attempts. It's a great movie, i just couldn't stay awake for any of it!

i really dont have much to say about it either. so there. i watched it though. I'll go ahead and connect the dots though. Scott Caan, he's also in Ocean's Eleven.

there. i wrote for this one. uuughhh

The Girl Next Door

Okay I watched this movie, and it's one i would have never bought had it not been in a 3 pack. It was one of the movies i didn't want... but 3 movies for $5, i am gonna buy it.
It's an okay movie... probably would have liked it better younger, but here i am 31 watching it, and not so ammused!
I think this may be the one movie that isn't connected to any other movie i have.. there is one guy that's hopefull, i am going to go to IMDB and check it out!!!!!! ohoh oh oh! he's in my next movie! Okay here it is... Timothy Olyphant, he's also in Gone In 60 Seconds!

Forrest Gump

My name is Forrest, Forrest Gump. Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're going to get. RUN FORREST RUN!
Some of the many quoteables in this movie :)
First time I saw this movie, was (i am pretty sure) my first date, with Kaleb. I remember being so nervous! long movie for a first date too :) golly. 1994 this came out!
Anyway a great movie, classic in fact. Even though i have it on DVD, I watch it whenever its on TV. have to! It's amazing how Forrest was a part of so many things in his life!
I totally forgot that in this movie Forrest had a baby boy! Haley Joel Osment, who's also in the Sixth Sense.

Fools Rush In

LOVE this movie :) it's one of my favorites to put in the DVD player to fall asleep to :)
I love Matthew Perry sooo much, he's so funny, so stinking cute! a movie about fate... a movie about realizing that fate is live in your life! and reading those signs!! Two people in line for the unisex bathroom meet, and this is where the fun begins! love love love this movie.
Someone in this movie, who is in what seems like HALF my movies is Siobhan Fallon. I NEVER knew her name till right now... but you know her. She plays Lanie in this movie, and she's the bus driver in Forrest Gump (my next movie!)

Finding Nemo

What a cute movie. not my favorite Pixar movie, but it's still beautiful, so many colors! It's been a long time since I have seen this one, years really. It was like watching a new movie again!
I thought i remembered liking Dori in this movie. When I watched it this past weekend, i was extremely annoyed by Dori! What can you do i guess!
Well, I'm going with Willem Dafoe who is the voice of Gil in this movie. He's also in Spiderman 2.

Final Destination

not sure what about this movie made me want to purchase it... wait. i am sure it had to do with three of the characters.. Devon Sawa...Kerr Smith...and Sean Scott. Kerr was in dawson's creek, so he was one of my faves. Devon was in a movie about a tornado... i think it was called 'night of the tornados' and of course Sean, he is from MN so you gotta love him!

this movie is weird and creepy and gory from the beginning! i think i've gone soft in the last 10 years, things that used to not bother me at all, i can't watch, close my eyes for now a days!

I don't think anyone but Sean William Scott is in any of my other movies... so we are going with him... he's also in Road Trip!

Fever Pitch

One of my favorite chick flicks! why? because there's a tall dark handsome and hilarious lead male (jimmy falon) and AND it includes my FAVORITE SPORT! BASEBALL! chick flick and baseball movie all in one. gotta love it. Not a big red sox fan, but it's better than a movie about the yankees i guess :)again another movie in boston, which i love as i said before. so fun being able to think "i've been there!"

Drew bugs me a bit in this movie cuz she snaggs a hottie with season tickets.. and has no love for the game. this reminds me of all the posers that are jumping on the twins band wagon because of the new stadium! i bet half the people at the games the last two days have not been to a game in years, they just wanted to go to say they've been! ugh.

anyway, baseball season starts monday! :) great movie to get me in the mood!

Random connecting the dots.... Marissa Winokur, she plays one of drews friends in this movie... she is also in Scary Movie!

I must end sharing a photo of me and my favorite baseball boy...this photo kinda reminds me of the picture in the movie poster above :)

Ferris Buellers's Day Off

now this is a great movie.. a CLASSIC if you will! i crack up every time i watch this movie. It's amazing what ferris does all in one day! I skipped school only two or three times back in the day... and it was a group effort... me and my buddies all had 'dentist appointments' at the same time... on three different occasions... we all got in our cars and headed out to the movies to catch the re-release of the Star Wars movies! what nerds. we never skip school, and when we do, we leave to see STAR WARS! does not get much nerdier than that.

if i were to skip school today, i'd do what ferris did, catch a baseball game at the new twinkies stadium :)

Alright, going with Matthew Broderick on this one... he's also the voice of the adult simba in the Lion King! :)

The Fast and the Furious

another STUPID movie. Why have i purchased such a plethora of dumb movies? it would be interesting to see the movie collection i would have going now had i had the same interests now as i did then...

these people can't act, and they are yelling their lines. like all of them. and they aren't mad in most of the scenes! i dont get what it was about this move that made me think, i will spend $14 on this!

watching it made me remember an old boyfriend though. Vin looks a lot like an ex of mine, justin... nice waste of 2 hours for me. haha. what a fun blog to read. sorry dudes.

So: connecting the dots.....Paul Walker...he also tried acting his way thru Joy Ride...

Encino Man

OMG. I haven't seen this one in forever either! This used to be a favorite of mine back in the day!! I remember Allison and I watching this over and over.... and quoting the movie constantly! WEEZIN THE JU-UICE!

Another movie that I look back at and think WTH!? I guess I really have grown up!! Thankfully I was busy updating my 365, so I the movie didn't have my undivided attention! I did laugh at a few places, but for the most part, it's pretty boring to go back and watch these days. I think this was my first High School movie that I saw where everyone breaks out in a random line dance... you know, one person goes out and starts a new dance, that no one knows, and suddenly the whole school breaks out in the dance like they've been doing it for years! EVS!

Sean Astin... i think this is the first movie I ever saw him in... he's also the crazy brother to Lucy in 50 first dates!

Employee of the Month

yahoooo! I bought this movie right after my obsession with Dane Cook started. Now you are probably wondering, how it was that I began obsessing over Dane?? It was a dream I had of him.. I hadn't seen any of his HBO things... nothing... I don't know how or why I had a dream of him. After the dream I went out and got the HBO movie... then this one. Dane is always good for a laugh... and it's kinda funny just because I have worked at Fleet Farm... it just cracks me up.
good movie to put you in a good mood, makes you laugh, that is for sure. and Jessica Simpson didn't do that bad of a job on this movie, which was surprising to me!
Anyway... connect the dots... la la la la... Andy Dick was in this movie, and he was in the movie i saw right before this "dude where's my car!"

Dude, Where's My Car?

"Dude, you got a tattoo" "Sweet, so did you" "Dude, what does mine say?" "Sweet! What does mine say?" "Dude! What does mine say?" "SWEET! what does MINE SAY?" "DUDE! WHAT DOES MINE SAY?" "SWEET! WHAT DOES MINE SAY"
muhahaha, I forgot how silly this movie is... I haven't seen it in a very long time, i think it was good that Jason and I were drinking while watching this movie, Not sure I could have made it thru the movie without a little substance to make it a little funnier! hahahahahaha. These guys lose their car after a night of partying... I lose my car after 15 minutes in target... Isn't it fun getting older???
So again, after watching a movie i haven't seen in a while, all these random people pop up in it that i didn't remember were in it the last time I watched. Lets go with Jennifer Garner! She was I think Jesse's (Ashton) girlfriend in this movie. She was also my girl in 13 going on 30!

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo

This movie is soooooo stupid. ridiculous even! Why i own it is beyond me. I did go thru a time in my life that i loved rob schneider.... i think it has something to do with Adam Sandler for some goofy reason.

It is funny going back and watching these movies i haven't seen in years because i notice people in the movie who are famous now, but weren't so much back then... That's how i am connecting the dots for this one... Amy Phoehler! She was in Baby Mama! :)

The Devil Wears Parada

I read this book before seeing the movie... and as per usual.... The book is much better. I did like the movie too. I bought this a while back, then left it at an ex's house for his sister in law to watch...then never saw him again... I ended up buying it at target again because it was on sale for like $3!

I haven't seen it in a long time... since I watched the "entourage" series... i was excited to recognize the boyfriend of anne in this movie, it was Vince!! such a cutie!

Connecting the dots... Anne Hataway was in Bride Wars :)

The Departed

This is a movie that i HATED the first time i saw it... I liked it a little better this time.... it still way too long for its own good... but i liked it much better. what a cast of all stars!!

Love Leo, LOVE Matt.... and Jack isn't so bad himself!

I hate the end just as much as i did the first time watching it... but the movie in whole was much better!

Lets go with... Matty Damon... he was also in Bourne Identity!

The Dark Knight

I originally saw this in theaters with my buddy jason pema. geez that seems like forever ago. and the movie still gets to me!! I bought it on dvd a while back, it was a pretty good deal...and hadn't watched it since i bought it!
I am annoyed by batmans voice. whats up with that?!?! Could they make him more annoying to listen to???
of course you can't talk about this movie without talking Heath Ledger... he creeped me out the whole movie... looks creepy, sounds creepy.... overall creep factor is pretty high. I think that thing he does with his mouth and tongue is what is creepiest... dont even know how to explain it!
I was thinking i was going to have to go with Heath for this movie...when i came up with this match instead....Cillian Murphy. He's Johnathan Crane in this move (Scarecrow) .. he's also in Red Eye. another creepy guy!

He's Just Not That Into You

Another movie out of order...
had a fun PJ party last weekend where we drank champagne and watched girly movies! woohoo! This is one of the movies we watched. It's a cute movie... love all the actors that are in it! There are so many stories intertwined in it too, such a great way to tell a story. I was rootin for the bartender the whole time. Love the Mac boy :)
Connecting the dots... We are gonna take Ginnifer Goodwin... she's also in WIN A DATE WITH TAD HAMILTON! :) looove her in both movies! She's such a quirky girl!
Again since i waited so long to go ahead and blog about this, i have forgotten much of the movie....
I am back on track now, working on movies that start with the letter D!

Dane Cook:Vicious Circle

Why I have this movie filed where I do is beyond me. Not by movie name..nor by last name... entirely by first name.
This is my funny man mr Dane Cook... this guy makes me laugh... its probably the 10th time i have seen it, and it still makes me laugh just as much as the first time around... If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. My favorite part is when he talks about the atheist dude who sneezes on him... dane says "God bless you" and things go down hill from there... up to the point where the dude that sneezed on him was ground up from a ficus tree, pounded into paper and the bible is printed on it. muhahahahaha
Well there is only one guy to choose from (other than Jaaa khhhe)... Dane Cook. Also in Good Luck Chuck.

Cruel Intentions

This is one I recently bought to replace my VHS copy... I haven't seen it in years...probably since I got my DVD player!! Anyway, I still think this is quite a weird movie, as the two main characters are brother and sister... maybe only by marriage but still weird to have them after each other. I wonder too, if this is where reese and ryan met...or if they were married/together before this movie.... i am sure it wouldn't take too much looking into to figure it out, but i am to lazy to do so right now!
I am going to go with joshua jackson in this movie... he's also in Skulls!
What a great pace i have going now... way ahead of schedule!

Coyote Ugly

What a fun movie! I the boy in this movie is so stinking cute, i can hardly handle it! About a girl moving from jersey to NYC to peruse her music writing career... Her apartment is robbed, and she has to find a j o b. she is at a cafe ordering pie when she sees the coyote girls counting their earnings from the night...and she goes for it, gets the job.
Her pops is none to thrilled about it when he finds out... .her dad is played by John Goodman who is also in Monsters INC!

Coach Carter

I have watched this movie one other time, right when I bought it! It's a great movie, just not one you watch over and over and over again...
It's your typical kids with an attitude... and a new coach that comes in and has to 'earn' the respect of the team... and boy does he ever. he whoops those boys right into shape!
I laughed... skillz from OTH is totally in this movie, and has the same basketball/cross tattoo he has in the show... i wasn't sure if he had it before OTH or what... well...maybe OTH started before this movie came out...
So i was nervous about who i was going to pick that's in another movie... till i saw one of the basketball players mother... Octavia Spencer. She's also in Win A Date With Tad Hamilton!

Charlies Angels Full Throttle

Okay... when I started watching Charlies Angels 2, I was thinking "i remember watching this in the theaters" I remembered going back to the apartment in IGH and doing my own angels moves! i loved it! Then...as the movie continued, i realized that no, that was the first Charlies Angels! This second one I made an ex boyfriend buy me so i had something to do while he and his band practiced...
Anyway, this movie has great effects... some that are pretty lame and bad looking...but for the most part it's pretty cool. a lot of really lame corny jokes which make me laugh! Great soundtrack too...love pretty much every song they have going on!
Well since turning on this movie, it sounds like Hawaii is in the clear, and missed the major Tsunami they were thinking that would happen.
Okay there are so many people i can connect to this movie, but I am going with Bosley...Bernie Mac. He's also in "guess who"

Cast Away

Second movie today: Cast Away. Another great movie that I own, and don't often watch. It is still amazing to me that Tom was able to do so much of this movie on his own! What a great actor.
Sorry, it's hard to type my stuff about this movie right now because I have CNN on right now... they are covering the tsunami that is currently making it's way to Hawaii.
I have a few insureds who go out to Hawaii every winter...they have homes out there, so my thoughts are kinda wrapped up in them right now...
I will quick connect the dots.... Helen Hunt is in this movie... she's also in the movie Twister (one of the movies i purchased recently and screwed up my countdown!)
Also, you can see i have started adding a photo...in case you need to know what movie i am talking about!

CARS

I forgot how much I loved this movie! I am saying at mom and dad's this weekend, dog sitting... i wish I would have put this on down stairs on the big tv instead of this small one.... the graphics are amazing in this movie! So funny too to hear the announcers from NASCAR calling the races in this cartoon!
Disney/Pixar does a good job of making this an adult movie as much as a kid's movie... two of the parts i laugh out loud about is in the beginning when these two twin cars "flash" lightning mc queen and he's all in awe of their headlights. so funny. Also later on mc queen sees a 'pinstripe' on Sally...he says something, she's embarrassed. this is Cars' equivalent of a tramp stamp. so funny!
this is one of many movies i see this weekend... i have 11 with me... we will see how many i get thru!
the end credits helped me with connecting the dots... could have done it myself, but i will take their queue. John Ratzenberger was lightning mc queen's mack truck in this movie... he's also the Pig in Toy Story :)

Carpool Guy

What a stupid movie... this one was given to me by a friend who won it... i think she won like 4 copies or something...
its about a dude that gets annoyed with his long drive to work and decides to pick up a bum so that he can ride in the carpool lane.
the one thing about this movie, it has a bunch of young and restless... so thats neat. i am pretty sure that NO ONE in this movie is in any other movie of mine. However. Corbin Bernsen is in this show.... he also happens to be in one of my favorite shows "psych" which i own on DVD..so THERE!
well i did good this weekend... knocked off 6 dang movies! WHAAAA!

Bride Wars

What a cute little bride movie this is... I love both Ann and Kate in this movie. The first time I saw this movie i was a little nervous about watching it... wedding movies always make me sad for some stupid reason!

One big reason i LOVE this movie is because one of my favorite boys is in this movie...Bryan Greenberg.... llooooveee that boy. he was in the first couple seasons of One Tree Hill. and then he was in that tv show on abc...something about October... Love him. wish he was in more movies!

I love the different tricks these girls play on each other... my fave is the blue hair :) hehe

Candice Bergen is in this movie as the wedding planner..... she's also the mother of Patrick Dempsey in Sweet Home Alabama!

Definitely, Maybe

Another one out of order, but crossed off the list!

Such a cute movie... i could watch this one over and over again :) Aaron and i didn't make a drinking game out of this one.... the Tad Hamilton movie helped us in getting enough alcohol in us :)

I love watching movies that take place in a city i have been to..this one NYC :) i love seeing places i have been in real life...i saw the TGI Friday's that Edna and i went to right when we got into NYC... $14.99 for a HALF a quesadilla!! rip off! but delightful :)

wow... knocking a bunch of movies off my list !! YEAAAY! seen 22 already this year!!! on my 23rd right now before nascar comes on! yeeaay

Okay... so lets connect the dots here... We will go with the friend that Will falls in love with, miss april.. Isla Fisher. She's the crazy girl in Wedding Crashers!!!!!

Win A Date With Tad Hamilton

Okay so we are a bit out of order tonight...buttttt... I had Aaron over tonight for drinks and chick flicks.... He had not seen this one, so it HAD TO HAPPEN.

why do i love this movie so? let me count the ways.... i love that they call him tad hamilton. not tad. tad hamilton. hilarious. this made it easy to make a drinking game out of this movie! i love topher grace... he's awesome, and so sweet in this movie. best scene in the movie? the wood chopping scene when the boys rip off their shirts to chop them some wood. awesome. or should i say 'shakadooo'

since i love me some topher grace....we will use him...he's also in 'in good company'

Bring It On

a CHEER movie! gotta love it :)

Its not so much that i love the movie, but i LOVE jesse bradford... he's so stinking cute in this movie...the way he talks out of the corner of his mouth.... maybe thats how he really talks?? idk. Its fun watching too b/c i was a cheer leader back in the day. i wish we had boys on our squad to throw us around like they do in this movie! I totally forgot about the spirit stick until digging this movie... totally forgot that it can't touch the ground!! hehe... i remember getting the spirit stick back at cheer camp!!

we are going with kirsten dunst cus i am pretty sure no one else in this movie is in any other! she's also in the spiderman movies!! :)

Bourne Identity

Just finished watching Bourne Identity. glad i didn't buy the trilogy. so didn't want to watch this one... it was on, and i was doing a bunch of other things around the house :) hehehehe... the only thing that draws me to this movie is my love, matt damon. he's a hottie. haha. watched back to back movies affleck and then damon! damon has always been my favorite of the two :)

Connect the dots.... julia styles is in this move... obviously she was in '10 things i hate about you' also :)

Bounce

what a sad movie. bitter sweet really. I fell asleep for 10 to 20 min of this movie, must have needed a nap.. probably would have slept straight thru it had dan not called.

Its been a while since i had seen this movie.. probably because its so sad! this movie has one of my favorite lines ever in it though..

Buddy (ben) says to Abby (gweneth) "Your company. The pleasure of your company. I want your input on video rentals. I stand there for hours, I can't pick anything out. I want someone to say goodnight to, a last call of the day. I don't have a last call of the day. Do you?"

i am so happy to have found my last call... my someone to say good night to :)

uhhh lets go with one of Abby's kids in this movie... his name is Scott in the movie, Alex D Linz... he was also in One Fine Day... love that movie :) yeaay!

Black Sheep

A Chris Farley and David Spade classic. LOVE this movie... in the movie Chris' brother is running for Governor of Washington state. the whole movie is Chris pretty much ruining his brothers chances at winning the race... My favorite part of this movie is when Chris and David are in the cop car and get high off nitrous oxide... they start pronouncing things all goofy... ROAD rooooaaaaddd... so stinking funny.

I could go many places with connect the dots on this one, but lets just go for Chris Farley... he's also in Wayne's World.. he's a security guard in that movie... funny enough he dresses like a security guard in this movie to get back stage...

okay.. for sure one more movie tonight...

Black Hawk Down

Quite honestly, this movie was just on in the background whilst i worked on the baby quilt today.. i think i bought this movie back when i had a major thing for mr josh hartnett.... at one point i had every movie joshy ever did.... and i believe that's why i have this movie... cuz other than that, not sure i would have ever gone to see it let alone purchase it...

As far as connecting my movies, i am going with Ewen Bremner... him along with Joshy were both in Pearl Harbor.. thats a movie i am looking forward to...

i will probably get in another 2 movies tonight :) yeaay!

Billy Madison

I AM SLACKING HERE!! So better watch a couple today... just saw Billy Madison, probably my favorite Adam Sandler movie... so dumb its hilarious. I can quote this movie from beginning to end... stop looking at me swaaaan.... you can stay home and help me shave my aaarrrmmm pits... no milk will ever be our milk..... soooo hot want to touch the hiney... C O R are you going to the mall today that's what i am asking.... erik's pregnant, he's gonna be a soccer player, he is he iiiiissss! YOU BLEW IT!!!

okay. so you get the idea. i can quote the movie :)

connecting the dots, we are going with steve buscemi... he's in a bunch of my movies too... a bunch of adam sandlers movies even...we will go backwards in my movie collection to Armageddon! he always plays a really good crazy guy...

i really screwed up my counting system last week... bought 4 more movies. 2 to replace movies i have on VHS, and 2 that i just wanted... so yeah... thats just 4 more i have to fit in!!

Big Daddy

Just watched a fave, Big Daddy! haha. I went from Baby Mama to Big Daddy! :)
I just recently bought this on DVD. I have had the VHS for years... I dont think i've seen it on dvd till today.
Adam Sandler plays a guy who decides he's going to adopt a boy who shows up on his doorstep (roommate's kid). He does this to prove to his girlfriend and father that he has something good going on in his life. Hilarity ensues. Laying the news paper down for accidents... milk on the ground... puke... you know whatever. so funny!
okay Adam has those three guys that he has in all his movies in this one too... but i am going to go ahead with Leslie Mann. She plays the fiance to Adam's roommate in this movie.. She's also in Knocked Up...
13 down 136 to go....

Baby Mama

this movie is sooooooo stupid. so stupid i laugh out loud :)

its pretty funny. only the second time i have seen it... i bought it as one of the four for $20.

i love that they play American Idol, and they sound just about as bad as I do when I play!

I really need to go ahead and do these reviews right after watching the movie. two days later does not work so well :)

We are going with Dax Shepard in this movie... he's also in "employee of the month"

12 down 137 to go.

Armageddon

Watched Armageddon this week... I finished watching it at night, and I was in bed, so hadn't updated this yet!

This was one of my favorite movies back when it came out. I had a poster of ben affleck in his astronaut suit! Lots of big names in this movie... My fave part is when they sing 'leaving on a jet plane' to liv taylor's character... they sound so good, hahaha.

since there are so many people in this movie that are in others, this should be easy.... i am going to go with Owen Wilson... hes in a few of my movies, but i am going with You, Me and Dupree! thats still quite a bit away... really, its the last movie i will watch!!

11 down 138 to go!!!!!!!!!

Anger Management

the second of my Adam Sandler movies :) i like this one, its funny! I haven't seen it in some time, so it made me laugh all over again!
my favorite part is the when he goes and confronts the guy who dropped his pants in elementary school... and now hes a monk. and jack pulls out a gun...squirt gun that is!! heheh
i watched it before bed last night, so i am having problems writing a review on a movie from last night!
Adam has all sorts of people in his movies that are in his other movies.. we are going with Jack Nicholson here though.. he's in a movie i am not excited about watching again... the departed. hated that damn movie and its coming.
10 down, 139 to go!

American Pie 2

HOLY POTATOES! Fun movie. not as good as the first, which is normally the case... I have the original AmPie on VHS, which is why you dont see a review for it...
It's cool they had all the same players in this one as the first... the next had like 3 of the main characters... lame. Great movie...don't remember the last time I saw it, and not sure why because i enjoy it! Boys living up life between freshman and sophomore year at a beach house. Wish I had the chance to have done it when I was their age!
Michelle Flarity... love that girl. Back when the movie came out everyone said that I reminded them of her... Someone even gave me a "one time at band camp" tee shirt..still have it :) Back then I thought it was the stories or something.... but today, people tell me i look a lot like Alyson Hannigan... I get it a lot actually!
Love the soundtrack to this one too!
connecting the dots... stiffler! have to pick him b/c he's from MN! Seann William Scott is in a couple of my movies, but we are gonna go with Dude Where's My Car! heheeh...
nine down, 140 to go!

Adventureland

This movie was nothing but lame. not impressed at all. I bought this movie at blockbuster...they were 4 for $20 I think. It was the last of the four movies i picked... and I wish i would have picked another. based out of the 80s its about a kid and his summer job after he graduates from college, before heading to NYC for grad school. The only thing good about this movie was Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader. their characters were the only thing that made me laugh.

oh, another thing that helped me thru this movie, ryan reynolds. he's pretty damn easy on the eyes!! Which brings me to my connecting the dots portion of the blog.. I have a bunch of movies with Ryan in... we will go with definitely, maybe... i have 22 movies to watch to get to that one...such a cute movie, can't wait!

eight down, 141 to go...

Adventures in Babysitting

Okay so i just wiped out my whole being ahead of schedule.... Didn't watch one movie last week.. So I am starting out early here, watching Adventures in Babysitting. One of my favorite movies growing up... Should have watched this before going out for my birthday on 80's night... this could have helped me decide what to wear!

Funny going back and watching this movie, I saw something kind of funny... at the beginning when Sarah finds out Chris is babysitting her, she tells her brother Brad (who has a massive crush on Chris).... when she tells him, he is busy pouring a pot full of noodles into a strainer... on the cupboard! too funny...

Favorite quote #1. Chris "Don't f*ck with the babysitter"

Favorite quote #2. Brenda:"I don't have cash" Hot dog vendor: "then I don't have a wiener"

Favorite scene: When the crew sings "babysitting blues" (imagine that, another musical moment in a movie that is my fave part!)

and now, i want to start to connect the dots of my movies... so I chose one character in this movie that is another one of my movies... Chris' boyfriend Mike played by Bradley Whitford... he is also in my favorite Adam Sandler movie "Billy Madison"

seven down 142 to go...

50 first dates

One of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. Takes place in Hawaii, so it is a beautiful move to start out with. Then Henry (Adam) meets Lucy (Drew Barrymore) who has brain damage, and no short term memory. Henry spends the rest of the movie making Lucy fall in love with him on a daily basis. Super cute chick flick. if you haven't seen it, you should!

with being sick yesterday I got a good jump on this resolution... I am ahead of schedule at this point, but still have many more to go....

six down 143 to go...

27 dresses

I love this movie. super cute, I love Katherine Heigl. I don't have anywhere close to 27 dresses in my closet, only two. five if you count my prom dresses. I am happy though, I think they would all mesh together if I did were in many more...

My favorite part of this movie is hands down when Jane and Kevin sing 'benny and the jets' at the hick bar! too funny. also interesting that my favorite parts of these movies all have to do with singing or dancing...

aaah counting cards. This is the 2nd time I have seen this movie, and I still don't have a clue how to count cards. Not that they flat out teach it, but from what they say, I just don't get it...

A group of kids from MIT are in a group that goes out to Vegas, to count cards and make some money. Ben, who is in his final year at MIT is trying his best to get a scholarship to Harvard Med School. As a back up plan he joins this group of kids to make the $300,000 he needs for Med School. He gets it, and then some... and then gets greedy and their ring leader (played by Kevin Spacey) turns against them and calls them in. BUSTED. While Ben is out trying to get the money back that he lost his Pof goes to Ben's dorm and takes all $315,000 that he'd made. I won't give away the ending if you haven't seen it, but its a great movie. Even though I still can't count cards.

I have watched 3 movies today... time to get back to Ally McBeal :)

13 going on 30

AUH, what a cute movie. Love this one. I am pretty sure I hadn't seen this movie when I purchased it... It is one that I have in my travel DVD thingy, so it's one i'd watch over and over...

I love the soundtrack to this... Songs from the 80's, you can't go wrong!

Thirty Flirty and Thriving! It's a story about a girl (Jenna) who isn't having the best time at age 13, and wishes herself right to age 30. She wakes up as a 30 year old, thinking she's still 13. Rather cheesy, but it makes for a fun movie. My favorite part is the dance scene! Jenna is at a work party that is bombing, and decides to take things into her own hands.... She breaks out in the Thriller line dance...soon everyone, including her former bff Matty.

This movie introduced me to that very handsome man, Mark Ruffalo.. LOVE HIM!

Which reminds me.... I was going to say this in my first post about 8 mile... I am pretty sure every movie I own can be connected to another by the actors in it... I wish I had the time to connect them all, but I have enough on my plate!

10 Things I Hate About You

Stayed home sick today...thought I would get a movie or two in :) first up today, 10 Things... came out in 1999... I didn't see it then, but probably a couple years later while living with Cassie in IGH. She had it on VHS and told me I had to see it. It was love at first sight...totally fell for Heath Ledger!

It is a cute little High School movie, not much to it other than a boy, who wants to date a girl who can't go out unless her sister dates... Boy gets another boy to bribe another boy to take out girls sister. of course sister finds out the boy that takes her out (whom she's fallen for) was paid to take her out and is devastated. she then reads a poem "10 things i hate about you" and reveals she still loves him. tah-dah! of course in the end they all are happily with their boys.

my FAVE part of the movie is when Heath sings "cant take my eye's off you" to sister in the middle of soccer practice! so cute.

hope you can follow this, sister, boy, boy, girl, sister thing... :) hehe

8 Mile

So I watched my first movie... it took me 2 nights to finish, got most of the way through 8 Mile the other night before I fell asleep...

This is one of those movies I bought long ago, and hadn't seen the movies before the purchase. I haven't seen it probably since the day I bought it!! Anyway, I loved Em at the time, and here he was in this movie... Brittany Murphy is also in it, random that she's in the first movie I watch and she just passed a week or two ago. So young!

The movie is decent.. all about 'B Rabbit' and his struggles to become a rapper i guess... best scene is the last one in the movie where he gets onstage and takes down 3 others from some rapping contest the shelter is having... the part that makes me laugh is when Rabbit and his buddy is fixing the car Rabbits mom gave him for his birthday... and they start making up new words to "sweet home alabama"

I pretty much think that i won't be watching this again, unless i make another goofy resolution like this one...

one down. 148 to go.
