1. Friday the 13th: Part IV - A spastic Crispin Glover dancing like a crazy person to some mullet rock. Awesome. Also, a young Corey Feldman who plays an annoying kid and somehow manages to survive. Gah!
2. Friday the 13th: Part VII - Jason battles a girl with telekinesis. That’s right, just like Carrie. Marks the first appearance of Jason stuntman favorite, Kane Hodder
3. The Evil Dead - A bunch of dumb overprivileged kids who go to the woods to smoke pot and have sex accidentally awaken an ancient evil living in the woods. They all die. Good one.
4. Sense and Sensibility - that scene where Emma Thompson looks at Hugh Grant and says something like, “You’re not married?” and he says, “No” and she starts crying? Gets me every time.
5. Day of the Dead - Zombies have taken over the world. A group of scientists are living in an underground bunker trying to find a cure, while fighting with a bunch of jingoistic, blood-thirsty military guys who are supposed to protect them, but just want to go out there and blow the zombies up. Awesome.
6. Night of the Living Dead (1991) - Bunch of angry, scared folks are holing up in a cabin on top of a cemetery, hiding from zombies. One of the best horror film remakes, if not the best, I have ever seen. Tony Todd as Ben was just divine.
7. Zoolander - “How can you expect children to learn how to read, if they can’t even fit inside the building?!?”
8. Aliens - A rare improvement from the original. Lt. Ellen Ripley survives the first film only to be forced back to the frontlines because the stupid Company wants to capture the creatures to study them. Hilarity and death ensue. “They mostly come out at night. Mostly.”
9. Wives and Daughters - a Masterpiece Theater mini-series based on the book by Elizabeth Gaskell. Molly Gibson lives with her dad, a doctor, and is in love with the son of Squire Hamley. All is good until Dr. Gibson marries a woman who is well-meaning, if not a slightly self-absorbed social climber AND a meddler. She also has a daughter named Cynthia, who is beautiful and kind, but shallow and prone to temptation. Good drama.
10. Equilibrium - I can’t help it. It’s a terrible movie, but Christian Bale looks so good in it, especially when he’s hacking people with a sword in his nice white suit, or mowing them down with a semi-automatic.
11. Half Baked - “Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke. And that’s an addiction, man. You ever suck dick for marijuana ? Huh? Boo this man!”
12. Carrie - An awkward, gawky girl with an overly-religious mother is bullied by her classmates (”Plug it up! Plug it up!”), awakening her latent telekinetic powers and giving her the means to LOCK UP ALL THE KIDS IN HER CLASS IN THE GYM DURING THE PROM AND SET THEM ON FIRE!
13. The Shawshank Redemption - Have you ever turned on the TV at two o’clock in the morning and not seen it on some channel?

[Or as she is lovingly called in the blogosphere, “Dr. Sunken Tits“]

Wow. This thing is about 10 kinds of wrong. Let me count the ways:

1) Mary Jane Watson has enormous knockers.
2) Mary Jane Watson is wearing a skin-tight belly shirt designed to show off said knockers and her oh-so-flat belly
3) Mary Jane Watson is wearing a pretty pink thong
4) Mary Jane Watson is wearing extremely low-rise jeans that shows off that pretty pink thong
5) … low rise jeans with holes on it AND a braided belt
6) Mary Jane Watson is washing Peter Parker’s Spidey uniform by hand on some kind of antique table probably given to them as a wedding present by Aunt May
7) Mary Jane Watson has enormous knockers, a tiny waist, skinny legs, and an extra-ordinarily long torso. How can her spine support all that weight? Homegirl needs a back brace.
8) Mary Jane Watson looks like a washed-up adult film star taking testosterone therapy and has been around the block… a few thousand times.
9) Mary Jane Watson is washing Peter Parker’s Spidey uniform… by hand and doing some weird Yoga pose at the same time. That’s multi-tasking.
10) Mary Jane Watson is barefoot AND washing Peter Parker’s Spidey uniform by hand.

It feels kind of wrong to be crushing on a guy who’s the same age as my baby sister, but damn, this boy looks good. I started thinking he’s hot when he played CuteDean on Gilmore Girls, Rory’s first boyfriend. But then Rory cheated on him with that boy from Heroes and CuteDean retaliated by marrying some skanky girl, but he and Rory were still in love and Rory started having an illicit affair with a married man… and then CuteDean left the show and became SexyAssSam, the brother of SmolderingHotDean on Supernatural.

Damn, now I’m starting to see the appeal of all those menage books. *runs off to write idea*

Grade: A-

Readers of this blog know I have no objectivity when it comes to P.C. Cast. NONE. I love that woman. I am a P.C. Cast fan girl. I will read anything she writes. What I like most about Cast’s books— and I do find very little of it in other romances— is the sisterhood, the coming together of women, the “hey girlfriend” stuff. In a lot of the romances I’ve been reading lately, the friends are always shoved to the background (or relegated to annoying “matchmaker” duties) once the girl meets the hero, but this particular book is really about two girlfriends growing together as people as well as finding their own true loves. That said, even though I enjoyed the hell out of this latest contribution to the Goddess Summoning series, there were some parts that made my eyes glaze over a little bit or roll to the back of my head. You see, there are two romances in this book and I just wasn’t that interested in the second one. Who wants to read about two incredibly gorgeous people falling in love? Give me the one about the guy with the gimp leg! Oh, and because one of the heroines of this story is the Goddess of Love, the deux ex machina gets a lot of mileage. Why wouldn’t it? The literal translation is “god from the machine”. Heh.

Warning: here there be spoilerz.

While watching this, I was yelling “Way to go, Paula! Way to go!” (That reminds me, how come the skank never gets the man? Skanks need love, too. Man, I ought to write a romance where the skank gets her man.)

Anyway, I got bored and went to the kitchen to get some orange juice. When I returned, it was still playing. Damn, that song is gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of the day now.
