Movies, Crushes, Obsessions.... I'm a weirdo!

I have to be honest, these aren't even the beginning of all the movies I watch.  These are merely the ones I feel I must comment on.  I mean, I watched "27 Dresses", however that movie requires no commentary.  It was cute, but I mean c'mon within the first five minutes I figured out the plot line (some what). Where is the fun in that??  And I'm not even worthy enough to review "Juno".  All I can say is that it is FANTASTIC and I love it and Ellen Page 4-eva.... (kidding!) forever. LOL.

I've watched "Dirty Dancing" 30 or 40 times in the past 6 weeks because it's conveniently on COMCAST On Demand (even though I do own the movie.... yes, I know I make no sense).  I'm a creature of habit.  It's a good stand by for boredom, especially due to the fact that I have a bit of insomnia and nothing good is ever on past 1am.  I find Jennifer Grey extremely hott in this movie.  Oh man, the scene when she and Penny are practicing together for "the big show at the Sheldrake" HI? I die.

Some of my other favorite stand-bys  kind of follow a pattern (you'll see).....

1. "Mystic Pizza" (Julia Roberts, Lily Taylor, Annabeth Gish )

2. "Shag" (Annabeth Gish, Bridget Fonda, Phoebe Cates ... oh and a small appearance by my                            queen Carrie Hamilton (RIP) ) 

3. "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" ( Phoebe Cates, Jennifer Jason Leigh)

4. "Drop Dead Fred" (Phoebe Cates)

5. "Grease 2" (Michelle Pfeiffer, Lorna Luft)

6. "Single White Female" (Bridget Fonda, Jennifer Jason Leigh)

...... Read carefully or not because you'll see the pattern!!

I first must profess that these have been my obsession movies since I was little!!!  Hmmm.... Gay much??? I think so!!  My brother hated me until I got my own VCR because I made him watch each and every one.  I'm pretty sure "Girl For All Seasons"  from "Grease 2" was a favorite of his =)   

On another note a movie I loved but always fast forwarded because I solely loved the dancing and the song, "Gloria", by the late Laura Branigan was "Flashdance".  I had this on permanent rental from my local video store.  I was all set with the sex and the welding, but I loved all the dancing, again and the sad ice skating scene that included the song "Gloria".  I actually had the record of the soundtrack ( and "Fame", "Grease", "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"( with Dolly and Burt Reynolds) , tons of show tunes, and "Fast Times At Ridgemont High").  I killed that record on my Fisher Price big Kid record player!!!  I had this "Get In Shape Girl" matching off the shoulder sweat shirty shirt, swaetbands, and leg warmers in lavender.  I thought I was BADASS.   I will say I saw "Flashdance" when I was 6 (a little inappropriate for a child but hey..), but I was so into all the dancing parts.  I watched the last scene at the prestigious dance school like a million times (later in life come to find out that in was not Jennifer Beals, but a double!!!).  My own dancing teacher dressed just like Jennifer Beals during the early to mid eighties.  I was obsessed with her.  Now when I see her it's just plain    awkward    =(                                               

So ... I watched "The Golden Compass"... so what?!?!

"The Golden Compass"-

Ok. It was a long freakin movie, however, I liked it (in a non-conventional way).  I liked the Narnia movie too, though.  I read all "The Chronicles Of  Narnia" books when I was younger, but I hated the cartoon version they had out.  So, I never went to the movies to see it.  I hate really long movies that I know children will be at.  I know if I'm 28 and I get antsy and fidget....  a kid definitely will.  Nicole Kidman's non-moving, botoxed to the high heavens, face was really scary!!!! I loved the little girl, Liira, and the fact that she is going to be the hero.  The ending was such a "Back to the Future II" ending.... you know it led you right to the next step... than BOOM... to be continued.  UGH... I hate that!!!! Suspense is a bitch.  I'm an instant gratification kinda person in these cases.  Now, I have to wait for the sequel .. whenever that will be.  I like movies that stimulate the imagination here and there.   I'm still not over Nicole Kidman's face, man.  Botox is stupid for actors.  Isn't the emotion supposed to show in your face??? Hello?? I really like her too, but the no wrinkle forehead is creepy.  Jeez.... what ever happened to growing old gracefully?  Guess that idea has been shot to shit!
