Take me to the mooooooooovies

So I like way too many movies. I mean, I don't think every movie is freaking awesome, but I am easily entertained. My standards are pretty low. I recently saw "The Ringer" and thought it was entertaining, i enjoyed it thoroughly. I also saw Syriana, which wasn't bad, I just found it hard to follow the storyline. But definitely over the course of the years, which include many a movie thanks to $4 movie night (hot damn!) I have probably liked a whopping 75-83% of the movies I've seen. With the quality hollywood is comingout with these days, i am thinking a true movie connisseur should enjoy anywhere from 25-41% of the movies they see. And you can increase the percentages by being more selective about what you go see. You can always wait to hear, read reviews, ask Siskel and Roepert. You know the game, me...
I am a movie whore.
I will see anything that looks decent, or some that I know will be bad, but for some reason I am drawn to an actor/actress or have sentimental connections to the storyline.

Some mistakes I've made in the past:
"Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" Thank you Topher Grace for being so damn funny in "That 70's Show" and so damn ridiculous in this movie

"The Dukes of Hazzard" I thought Jessica Simpson could singlehandledly make this movie worth, and while her scenes were slightly entertaining for guys, the movie was just horrible. One critic put it right "If you make a a movie off of a bad TV show, you are going to get a bad movie" Oops, I did it again!

"AVP" Ok, so I had seen neither any of the Alien movies or the predator movies. I heard the originals were both classics. However, I got so absorbed in the hype of this movie, and was really looking for a sweet action movie with some wicked cool special effects, I bought into it. AHHHHHHHHHHH Never again. I'll burn my eyes out. This movie was so ridiculous. People died before you even got to see their character develop. Damn!

The surprisingly good films:

Ok, so I haven't given this as much thought as the bad ones. But two films, both by the Farrelly brothers are surprisingly sweet. While somewhat crude in humor and taste, the heart of the story helps make the film better.

"Stuck on You" is one of my all time favorites. It's a great story, and just so completely ridiculous it makes me laugh.

"The Ringer" Not nearly as good as stuck on you, but definitely better than you expect. The first 20 minutes are so are pretty rough, so you gotta give it a chance, but by the end you really are cheering for everybody!

The Comedic Classics

I am a huge Adam Sandler fan! So, I'm a little biased. He had a phenomenal streak of hilarious to semi-hilarious movies that I don't think another actor has acheived. Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, and even some of his more recently stuff has been decent. But Happy Gilmore is on my top all-time funny list, it's definitely in my top two.

Will Ferrell is definitely a comedic genious and my role model. His stuff unfortunately tends to get dragged down by other cast members or just a bad script. He has schieved his pinnacle in The Anchorman and he played an awesome role as Frank the Tank in Old School, but he needs to get a couple more notches in his belt if he wants to compete with Sandler.

"Wedding Crashers" has achieved elite status. That movie gets better everytime i watch it. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson play off of each other so well in the movie, I start laughing before the jokes are even told! I can't wait too laugh. Pathetic? a little, but let me tell you, that movie is fantastic. If you haven't seen it atleast 3 times, you better catch up!

Odd-ball Comedy
Zoolander is also one of my favorites even though I know how ridiculously good looking it is. I mean ridicuously stupid it is. But come on any movie that involved a freak gasoline fight accident is pure comedic genius disguised under piles of shit!

More to come, i will be compiling a list of "All time greats" maybe 4-5 movies I consider must see! Ideally it will be none of the movies mentioned here.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good night
