after a hard day of work, and a long night of shopping for (insert your name here)'s christmas present, i decided to relax at home with a girlie, feel-good movie. much to my surprise, i found that the movie was very bad and left me with a feeling i have known before. the feeling came from these movies (in no order):

--drowning mona. and the lesson learned from watching this movie:

NEVER let misty childress and neal barker rent a movie together.

that's right kids. i am taking names. misty and neal ruined one whole entire night of my then 6,935 days (that is a rough estimate).

sidenote: i laughed once in this whole movie. because they said M.I.A. which is how we always referred to my friend, zach.

--punch drunk love

apparently misty childress wasn't the problem with the choice of the above movie. because this movie came highly recommended by none other than neal barker. this is the movie that i went to see with the arm nudger. but believe it or not, this movie would have been bad, regardless of how sucky my boyfriend was. there was no lesson in this movie that shouldn't have been learned with drowning mona. my misery was from my own folly.

--armageddon

um, quick question: what else could go wrong in this movie? i mean seriously. you get blown off some rocket something or other and 10 minutes later, when your friends are still rubbing tears from their eyes, you come riding up on your space mobile. ridiculous.

redeeming quality: there is none. BUT, if i had written the movie, i would have had the little sheet slide they slid down on at the end, rip, and they would all die. that would have been a good ending. they cheated death so many times, and they die when they land on safe ground. ah. that would have been great.

--how to deal

the movie from last night. the girlie feel-good movie i so looked forward to watching. so, let me tell you the movie. parents get divorced. sister gets engaged the day her parents divorce is final. she has a fit. friends boyfriend dies. friend ends up being pregnant with dead boyfriends baby. she starts a friends-with-benefits "friendship." her mom catches them making out. grounds her. she has a fit. she sneaks out. they start to have sex. she gets up and leaves. he is mad that she won't have sex with him. she says she realized that that meant that she had really strong feelings for him and she was afraid he would leave. they have a wreck. he leaves her in the hospital. doesn't call for a week. she's mad. she sees him. she has a fit. sister's wedding is off. sister's wedding is on. friend has baby directly after the wedding. she gets back with "friend." the end. so, now i saved you all a dreadful 2 hours of drama and fits...and $3.98 that could be used for much better things like...well...anything would have been better.

things gained from this movie: besides the thoughts of, "i can't believe i watched that whole movie," i now have a girl crush on mandy moore. she wore skirts and converse the majority of the movie. what is cuter than that? not much i dare say. not much.
