Sometimes you just need a distraction. And often (for me), that comes in the form of a not-so good movie. What can I say? I’m just trying to pass the time when I watch some movies.
No magic crabs. Poster FAIL.
Simply Irresistible I think Sarah Michelle Geller’s in this one. The basic summation? Magic crabs (the animal–get your mind out of the gutter) turn a bad cook into the owner of a highly successful restaurant owner after the death of her mother who always knew how to add just the right ingredients (much like how I became the number one meth dealer in my neighborhood after MY mother died, leaving me with no talent for meth-making). Throw in a weird, awkward love story. But mostly don’t forget the magic crabs.
Sabrina, the Teenage Witch Or really, it’s any Sabrina movie that doesn’t involve Audrey Hepburn. When I was about 8, these movies were DA BOMB! But then I grew up. Now I’ll watch them for nostalgia’s sake. Or if I’m bored. The TV show? I still watch that with some mild interest. Though it varies as to whether I prefer the older or newer shows. That means high school or college. The show definitely jumped the shark after she left college.
Dante’s Peak This movie really doesn’t suck, and it’s actually quite factual in the way it depicts how a volcano erupts. But the whole sulfur/acid lake scene just scares the life out of me. Which means it looses like 30 points on my scale. I’m a big fan of The Golden Girls, so it kind of makes me think that Sophia is sacrificing herself for Phil’s kids. A. Sophia is my favorite. B. Why would she sacrifice herself for Phil’s kids? They’re Phil’s kids.
Someone Like You This is a new movie to my collection, as I just watched it on Hulu this weekend. The plus side? Hugh Jackman! I also enjoyed the whole cow theory angle. That was good, until you threw the rest of the story in with it. Which means Ashley Judd falls in love with Greg Kinnear. Boy breaks up with Girl. Girl can’t get over him. Boy wants Girl back. Girl considers going back (does, for like a date or two). Girl finally realizes Boy is crap. Girl falls in love with Hugh Jackman.
Yes, I just posted a shirtless Hugh Jackman on my blog.
Get Over It I’ll admit it–I used to love this movie. Now, it’s just OK. Except for the scene where the faeries dance. That’s still awesome. What can I say? It’s fun to be a fairy.
