13 going on 30 (2004)

oh how school gets you out of the loop... or well just out of everybody's loop.... must say that movies has rolled over the screen way quickly but with not much memory of them.. does not really matter cause its been mostly my movie shelf that's been on the menu so not only can i watch them all again at some point when desired but also has they been watch a lot already... you know if you like it you buy it and that are the words i live by.. so yeah i love my movies ;)

anywho...13 going on 30... well think this is the girly version of Big with Tom Hanks.. and by that i mean we have our average unpopular teenage girl holding her 13th birthday and after a little thing with mean girls at her party she wishes very deeply to be 30.. and boom we have a 13 year old Jenna waking up in a 30 year old body.. not only that it is more like skipping time so body have lived 17 years with all the weird mistakes and choices that comes with that.. 13 year old Jenna however does not remember anything... making a really awkward morning with a naked man in the apartment and running around town in her negligee. And now to the fun part... finding out what she really wanted so she can go back to being well 13.

overly predictable sappy sweetness check, way to cute Jennifer Garner playing a 13 year old.. check... me totally embracing my girly side.. well double ehm maybe triple check that....

dont think there is that much else to say.. okay i admit it i'm terrible at reviewing chick flicks.. might be because im not that willing to admit that i love watching them buggers.. :) and the thing with chick flicks is they have to be predictable.. it has to be sappy and so sweet you almost gag.. why... well i think it might be a girly need for something romantic that we all know doesn't really exists in the real world.. it is a place to get lost in dreams....

A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song (2011)

uh one more Cinderella story...

and this time Cinderella wanna be a star... singing her lungs out.. oh and one stepsister has been switched into a brother.. and a annoying one of the kind.. loving step mom is kinda hating on even her own kids.. stepsister has a very bad singing voice and for some reason we decide to do some lip singing in a competition under force but well yeah....

okay so i kinda love music and the humor is a lot better in this one... and demon spawn is so sweet when you look past the trouble he is making XD .. And it is just hilarious that the auditions are hold in the toilet..oh yeah and the bestie of our Cinderella is basically insane.. in a lovely way...

yes i like this one more than the first.. it is like the step siblings are more human in this one... like they don't hate as much... well like not at all.. but the needs just seems to come before family bonds... well for some at least...

A Cinderella Story (2006)

sooo yeah i am gonna put this one in the teen category and yes this is a chick flick like big time..




well A Cinderella Story is just what the title says it is.. Sam is a modern Cinderella living with her stepmom who is well mean and lazy and her 2 stepsisters who are well less bright than most... Sam has meet the prince charming online and is to meet him at the school Halloween dance... and then we just play along with the normal story line of Cinderella.. well..

what do i think of this movie.. what do i think hmmm... well it is modern Cinderella... it is just that.. it is funny and it is girly.. and sweet and well think that is it....

sry for the short one on this.. but it is not really a movie that can have a lot of things said about it... it is a girly movie.. if you like this stuff then knock yourself out if not.. probably best to stay clear of this one..

40 days and 40 nights (2002)

Where are all the manly movies.. seriously it's been all chick flicks so far... :|

anyway 40 days and 40 nights is about this guy Matt who after a lot of encounters with the fairer sex and this feeling of utter emptiness inside decides that it would be a awesome idea to go into celibacy for 40 days straight. And if this is not a pretty much impossible task on its own here we go and ad Erica, the nice hot girl from the laundry mat, that Matt of cause falls in love with... 

look i know that age wise this is a little off since it is about post college people meaning adults.. however this one has a special place with me because well i was 15 when this one came out.. and yes i have watched it a lot when i was younger.. it was actually a long time since i last saw it though and there was some scenes i had completely forgotten about. Anywho i do love the theme that it portraits because to me no normal person could ever live in absolute celibacy. People would go insane which Matt actually does in the movie.. not insane insane but insane enough (boy that sounded a little crazy) I even discuss this theme every now and then (i don't discuss that often though) that it is just wrong for the Catholic churches to ask this of their priest and in my opinion this celibacy thing might be at fault for some of the cases surfacing over the years about priest because it is about generally suppressing a huge part of what a human is.. anyway the movie is a great chick flick and it has good humor.. and a lot of cruel people not believing Matt can do this... 

100 Girls (2000)

heads up i might be slightly grumpy today... not the movies fault i just had the misjudgment yesterday that i was young and up for drinking until 4 am... i am not :| definitely not.. however i had fun and now that i manged to make myself make breakfast it is going a bit better.. bacon can save anyone.. but i am proberbly gonna end up watching just a few movies today while lying in bed and eating bacon (seriously not trying to make you jelly here...)

so a 100 girls... please don't let the title fool you this is a chick flick.. big one... a lot of half naked girls in it though.. that would be a plus to some..

anywho 100 girls is about this boy Matthew who one night after a party ends up with a girl in an elevator during a blackout... they have according to him the most wonderful sex of his life (also his first i think) but he doesn't know her name or what she looks like either except her breast fit in a champagne glass.. (not making it up really) oh and she leaves him a pair of underwear... now Matthew is a bright kid apparently so he makes up these different maintenance problem so that he can come and fix them day after day leaving him a chance to prior through the girls stuff to find the matching bra... kinda like a Cinderella thing but with underwear.. after a while he befriends a lot of the girls and gains a lot of knowledge on how girls are like

this one has always been a favorite of mine.. think it is the deal with me being closet romantic and... well there is a lot of half naked girls and i just don't mind looking XD.. i do really like the concept of the guy not just trying to find the girl but actually trying to get girls and why there is so much trouble with boys and girls to get along.. so basically i'm saying it is a little deeper than most boy-trying-to-get-the-girl-romantic-chick-flick-thingy....

i have learnt that there should be a follow up called 100 women or Girl Fever.. but never really gotten around to watch it... i might but i have read my share about it to know it is probably gonna disappoint me....

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

This is like the ultimate Teen Chick Flick... i mean.. I even forced my sister to watch this back when we was younger... it i
s a classic and even i know that Heath Ledger is a cutie...

ah the story of the Straford sisters... Kat and Bianca is sisters very different sisters... Kat is outspoken and not really into being nice to anyone.. Bianca on the other hand likes to be the center of attention. So why are we onto their story? well the Straford sisters are not allowed to date.. or well Kat is but she is not really into that stuff being as she is... Bianca is not thrilled by this since she really wants date. Daddy dearest comes up with the idea that Bianca can date when Kat does.. and here comes New guy into the picture. New guy Cameron is hopelessly in love with Bianca so he comes up with the plan of getting someone to date Kat so he can date Bianca... tadada Bad boy (played by Heath) comes in...

Like i said this is a classic and any girl ought to watch.. i mean it.. there is just so many bright moments in this one and yes i enter rollercoaster land on this one to.. i rarely admit it but i am such a girly girl sometime.. like come on my favorite romantic movie is 6 days and 7 nights.. anywho.. this is a funny and sweet movie and i have been recommending it for years...

oh wow this is the third post today and i'm already watching a new one.. someone got bitten by the movie muncher bug

When Harry tries to marry (2011)

so i'm back.. pff work is hard to get use to after being sick for 2 weeks... anywho.. movies
so 670 movies is on the list ( yeah i know a movie has sneaked in... however it is one who hasn't premiered in dk yet) ... so tired as i am and after feeling the torture of having to wait for a new castle episode i choose to go overboard in the romantics... lucky for me the first page of the list offers just such a thing :)

When Harry tries to marry is about Harry (duh!) an young Indian-american guy who has wished for an arranged marriage since he was a kid using statistics as an argument. therefor he calls a guy in India shortly before he is graduating to make le guy arrange a marriage for him. Le guy finds a girl Nita and now the wedding preparations starts... only Harry got a new american friend that turns out to complicate things... a lot!

as expected this was and overly sweet and quite predictable... and as the closeted romantic that i apparently am i just looooooved it... (oh dear i'm showing my girlishness) it is so sweet and yet hilarious so well.. (i kinda lost my wind here.. that darn YouTube with your videos and stuff)

bum bum bum... oh yeah if your are into have a fun night with a romantically movie to snuggle under the blanket to this is definitely a winner.. but at the same time.. i don't think a lot of guys would love this movie.. it is most certainly a chick flick... :P

think i got all burned out now.. oh well until next time :)

Even Cowgirls get the Blues (1993)

So this movie is apparently based on a book. I didn't know that. Honestly I found this movie because IMDb told me Heather Graham was in it and I have made it somewhat my mission to watch all her movies (same goes for a few other actresses) Anyway Heather doesn't show much in this movie (quite disappointing) on the other hand we get to see a young Uma Thurman... that was, well different... actually not a bad thing.

However the movie isn't all that good.. bad is more the term. Something about a young girl with abnormal large thumps hitch hiking the country, being a model.. meeting cowgirls and i think joins their fight for uhm birds? :S I got lost somewhere around Uma kissing a girl and then moments later kissing a old Chinese-Indian guy...

As much as I love weird movies where you have to think things over a few times before it starts making sense, I most say I GOT REALLY REALLY LOST! That is never a good thing.. like ever. I get the humor in the beginning i even get the finding yourself wanting to be normal thing going on. But something must have gone wrong when turning this book (which i haven't read and it could therefor be just as weird and confusing even though i doubt that) into the movie.. like i just don't get the whole cowgirl fight thing.

I am not sure if I need to watch it again or if it is just a lost cause. As I don't know the book I can't even tell if you as someone who do will get disappointed or thrilled about this movie.. All I can say is that I didn't get the movie and found it weird and boring. With this note I hand the choice over to you... However.. if ANY guys reads this post.. RUN as fast as you can to find something manly to watch because I'm quite sure this is a feministic chick-flick
