Movie reviews
While on break, I had the rare opportunity to catch up on a bunch of movies I have been meaning to see. Below, in no particular order, I attempt to summarize what to see/rent.Closer: Complex. Lots of relationship stuff. Good sex scenes. Jude Law is hot. Don't go with a boyfriend/girlfriend you have ever cheated on or one who suspects you are cheating. Will cause delusional bouts of paranoia and possibly lead to therapy on someone's part. Not a "feel good" kind of movie, but well-made and raises some interesting dynamics you rarely see on a movie screen. Grade: B+
The Princess Diaries 2 - Royal Engagement: I embarrassingly own the first installment of this on DVD, and I love that Mary Poppins is in this, but Julie Andrews is clearly hurting for money. This is one of the worst sequels ever. Why? I don't have enough room or time to list the reasons, but Raven from the Cosby Show is in it, is that enough information for you? Don't waste your money - watching this sequel will ruin even the first movie. Grade: D-
Meet the Fockers: Hilarious. Barbra Streisand is genius (and not just because I am Jewish and my people tend to love her). Ben Stiller is adorable. Teri Polo doesn't act for shit in this movie, and neither does Blythe Danner, despite being a phenomenal actress in other films. Robert DeNiro is one of my favorite actors ever, and still manages to be hot at the ripe old age of...well, ancient. Owen Wilson manages a cameo, but since I'm obsessed with him the cameo is not nearly as long as I'd have liked it to be. Certainly not an Oscar-contender, but well worth the movie ticket so you can laugh hysterically. Grade: A-
Napoleon Dynamite: Quirky. Similar to the style of "The Girl Next Door" (one of my favorites of this year), except for no one ever gets laid. Virtually no plot, but scene-to-scene, this movie is so funny. Napoleon is so cute, and I just want to go out with him and clue him into something, anything. The guy makes no eye contact, is a little socially awkward, and speaks in a monotonous voice. I have been known to like guys like this. I wish he would exist in real life; I'd date him. Grade: B
Unrelated: is anyone looking at the hit counter? It now says "666". This is creepy. Anyone up to hitting the blog? I don't want to be associated with Satan.

Hey, everyone matters - even you.
Hey Karen, I like the movie reviews. Nice variety. I think you should expand this and do a segment from the female perspective on adult films. Maybe review them? I think it would be good discussion.
Keep up the good work KA.
Thanks, Kyle. Appreciate ya.
You are one step ahead of me - I am open to reader ideas, so I am looking into your idea as we speak. Does Netflix have a "dirty" section?
I don't know about netflix. You could also review online porn and provide links to what you like. That would allow people to check it out easily.
