'No, they're trying to fly that tank'

Oh Internet...I do want to keep this blog up to date, I really do! It's just...that...well...I'm lazy! Its that simple. I'm going to watch a movie so fantastic that I practically want to stop strangers on the street late at night to detail how Marion Cotillard is the Grace Kelly of our generation or just so horrible that I want to yell the ending when I exit the movie theater (yes, fellow theatre-goer-in-line-for-the-next-showing, I'm that bitch! mouahaha!). But by the time I get to my computer, its more like 'Okay, blogging...is that a new episode of Secret Diary of a Call Girl?'

Basically, I always ALWAYS have an opinion about the movies I watch...just can't seem to get them down on virtual paper fast enough. Maybe I would be more proactive with this whole thing if I had an Iphone...anybody feel like making me a present? Yeah, didn't think so! Until good ol' Santa comes around, here is a four-pack to keep you happy!

The A-Team (dir. Joe Carnahan)

- Why its SO much fun to watch: Tanks fly, stuff blows up (and we all know how much I love that!), Patrick Wilson playing a smug bastard, Sharlto Copley getting some much deserved space in the spotlight, general non-stop action featuring kick ass actors pulling off stunts so insane they make you giddy.

- Why plot holes don't matter: Stuff. Blows. Up. This is where the marvel of this movie lies, just one good old grade A (team! ha!) summer movie. Besides, Jessica Biel as a top ranking military officer named CHARISSA? The story is not even believable from the start!

Bottom line: See it! Before the weather cools down!

Fatal Attraction (dir. Adrian Lyne)

- Hello, 1987 called, it wants its movie back?: Okay yes, this movie was out in theaters when I was still in diapers, but I don't care. I DON'T CARE! As I sat on my couch one lovely Sunday morning, eating chocolate croissants with my roomate and watching this timeless thriller, I though: 'this classic is too good for 'Saturday Night Thrillers on A&E'! It should be watched regurlary because its simple genius does not diminish with every viewing.

- Why its genius is simple: the movie's plot is linear and not burdened with numbers of plot twists and prefers to rely on atmosphere (gloomy settings and musical cues such as the wonderful 'Madame Butterfly') and the actors, Michael Douglas, for whom we manage to feel sympathy for, despite some douchiness on his part, and Glenn Close, whose performance probably still haunts some people's nightmares.

Bottom line: Every one on the planet should see this movie when they turn 18: Don't fuck around or it's going to come back, bite you in the ass and then boil your bunny (boo!).

Inception (dir. Christopher Nolan)

- *Lack of words to describe the movie's brilliant awesomeness*: Christopher Nolan...the many architectural and complex levels of the dream world...Stuff...blowing up...AND creating beautiful imagery...Insane acting that takes your breathe away....*huge smile of contentment*

- Why this movie is a MUST: Because Christopher Nolan has finished what he started when he made Memento and delivered a 21st-century masterpiece, equally human drama and mind-blowing-yet-not-so-extravagant-that-I-kinda-believe-it science-fiction, wrapped up in a scenery made of live-action paintings. And stuff blows up. Dude!

Bottom line: If it isn't done already, get your ass up and see it now. Or see it this winter, when Warners Bros. reissues the film in theaters during their big Oscar push for it (like there is any doubt this will happen!!).

Chloe (dir. Atom Egoyan)

-What the Who? Two brownie points if you know what movie I am referring to. While it is somewhat under the radar, Egoyan's latest opus about a woman who, convinced her husband is cheating on her, hires a young and mysterious escort to test his fidelity is worth a see, simply because it doesn't go down the usual cliché road. Also, Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried give understated yet hauting performances which make this Fatal Attraction-esque movie even more believable.

Bottom line: Not one to miss if you are a fan of Egoyan's work (this girl is...I'm still haunted by Ararat...)

And that's it for now! As always, I promise to try to come back more often and let you know what I think, even if you don't care to hear it. Maybe this time, I'll keep my.....ouh! Is that a new episode of Entourage??
