yeah a mini vacation... or well.. Easter is upon us in Denmark and i got the first 3 day of as well.. so lucky me :) the plan for the days have been (and still is) to do this spring cleaning thing that so many people cling to.. going okay as long as i don't get to sit to long in front of Lenox.. Sims has been taking up a lot of time.. for no apparent reason.. have been watching a bit of Lost but even though it hasn't turned weird on me yet i am not really in the mood.. what i am in the mood for is teen movies... but since i watched a very good truckload of them it is getting hard to find good ones i haven't watched yet... anywho not the reason i'm writing this...
a while ago a friend and i was talking about these teen movies and he claimed that there has not been made any of note in the recent years.. i disagree but then again i go strange place to figure out what is up on the screen... and i don't trust IMDb ratings one bit.. i want to make my own impression instead of trusting what others think.. i still believe my friend is missing out sometimes because the ratings on the movie is bad...
anywho where was i.. oh yeah teen movies.. there is this thing of defining them though... when i think teen movies there is little with the definition that always ends up leaving me in a state of okay whatever now go away.. gonna try anyway... my main definition on teen movies has always been and probable always will be that it is movies for teens about teens.. there is a small group of movies for teens that isn't about teens, both laddish movies and chick flicks...
anyway once we got the whole for teens about teen in place there is in my opinion 3 subgroups: Teen chick, Laddish and the in between.
Why? well teen chick is kinda a given.. all over the top romance movies that are so sugar sweet or filled with stupid dramas that it could make you puke.. with the occasion of fun moments... BTW way don't get me wrong i love this kind of movies.. getting in an all sappy mood crawling into bed and just get my emotional roller coaster running... looove it..
The Laddish movies... well laddish movies is about boys being stupid boys doing all sort of stuff loaded with undertones of sexual nature... movies that in a comical spin walks the line and more often than not walks a nice distance over that line.. there are some good ones, there are the classical ones starting of with National Lampoons and crossing path with the whole American Pie deal. unfortunately there are even more bad ones that just fails at being funny and goes right to being gross and painful to watch.
then we are left with the in between. I have this one because there are movies especially in the later years that are in the main sense a chick flick but still has the laddish humor (yeah girls like humor too) and a overlaying theme that is to effect both sides of the fence.. an honorable mention would be Easy A. A movie i myself loved and that i have meet a lot of guys (who have watched it anyway) that loved it to because it has a lot of meaning.. though i'm not sure the younger generations always get that.. anywho...
so yeah the plan is that now we got the whole definition out of the way i am gonna watch some of these dang teen flickers so that my itch can be scratched... until next time tuddles
