CHICK FLICKS
The Oscars are tonight, also known as The Super Bowl For Chicks. This year's movies are so typically "academy" type movies I wonder if the ratings will be severely anemic. Lots of movies the academy sorts love but people who love real movies like Fight Club, Caddyshack and Night Of The Living Dead couldn't care less about.
HOWEVER...I must admit the only movie I saw that's up for anything is "Atonement". Wife wanted to see it. On the way to the theater she clued me in on what it was about. Then I find out it is a 'period piece'. A 'period piece' is a movie that human beings who have periods enjoy. But then I watched it. I gotta tell ya, it was pretty damn amazing. I mean it is no T-2, but what is? For what it was, it was incredibly well done. Some war thrown in for the guys. And Keira Knightley, for as thin as she is, is surprisingly bangable. Got me wondering how many other movies out there are chick flicks but aren't half bad?

Decent Chick Flicks:
-Jersey Girl. A movie where J.Lo dies in the first 20 minutes can never be bad.
-Return to Me. Worth it, really, for Carol O'Connor and Robert Loggia
-Now You Know. Dirty guy homor, heart of a chick flick.

Whenever Steel Magnolias comes up all I can think of is when they cut the Armadillo cake and it is blood red inside. What guy couldn't appreciate that blood red cake.
Kate & Leopold - Time travel, and when a crowd is watching a structure going up near the beginning someone is actually able to call it an erection with a straight face.
Luckily my wife is more of a SciFi fan than a chick flick fan.

Amelie. Of course, I liked The Da Vinci Code, so I might just have a thing for Audrey Tautou
