  MOVIES Today I have decided to talk about movies. Alright, I have decided to talk about going to the movies, as well as to list some of the best movies of all time. First off, going to the movies. I have been to the movies quite a bit recently. I have been privy to films such as "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton," "Ella Enchanted," "The Girl Next Door," and "Jersey Girl" in the past couple of weeks.
Now first off, I did not choose all of these films. I think if I had a choice I would have skipped the "Ella Enchanted," but since I didn't really I went. Now I don't like to go to the movies unless I think that I will really enjoy the film. I don't like spending $15.50 on two tickets, plus the 8 bucks it costs for the popcorn and drink. It really makes the movie going experience difficult because, if you don't like the film, your out a the cost it takes to fill up the car with gas. Now with the movies I have seen the past couple of weeks, some have been really good while others were okay.
None of the films has really sucked or made me feel like I totally wasted my money. "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" which comes out on DVD today, was actually a decent little movie. I suppose I enjoyed it because I look almost exactly like Topher Grace, and his character was a dead ringer for me. All in all it was a typical romantic comedy, but it did have some actual funny parts. "Jersey Girl" was an excellent film. It may not be the feel good hit of the year, but Kevin Smith put together an great script and cast that made you feel for each of the characters in the story.
Hell, I hate Jennifer Lopez, but I even felt bad when her character died in the beginning. "Ella Enchanted" was a cute little movie in the vein of the Princess Bride. It even featured Cary Elwes as the villain. I don't know if it was worth the $15.50, but my fiance' loved it, and the chick from "The Princess Diaries" was really quite hot. As for "The Girl Next Door," it was probably the worst of the four films. It had some funny parts, but it dragged on and was full of the dick and fart jokes that I am not huge on. Plus, why does a movie about a porn star moving in next door have more male nudity than female? My sister went with us to see that and she loved the film. Not because of the male nudity ,not because of the story or jokes, but because of a blue Volkswagen convertible Beetle that was featured throughout the film.
Worth $15.50? Not really. Would I watch it again? Maybe if it was on HBO and there was nothing else on. Still, I don't regret seeing it. I did laugh, even if it wasn't that hard. It just kind of sucks that the theater companies, lead by Clear Channel's Regal Cinemas, try to rape you with the prices to see a movie. It leads people including myself to for-go the movie theater experience and to take a chance on video or DVD. If you can rent a movie for 4 bucks, why pay $15.50. You just have to wait a little bit longer.
An example, last year I kind of wanted to see the film "The Rundown" with the Rock in it. I wasn't sure about how I would like it, so I waited until it came out on DVD in March. I picked it up at Target because it was fairly cheap and I am sure glad I did. It was a great movie. I just kind of wish I had seen it in the theater now. Now for some of the Best Movies (in my opinion) of All Time: 1.
Rear Window (Quite possibly Hitchcock's best and most underrated film) 2. Citizen Kane (A little long, but damn is it good) 3. Young Frankenstein (Gene Wilder's Hamlet. Plus you get Frau Blueker, neeheeeh) 4. Casablanca (Here's looking at you kid. ) 5. Dogma (A hilarious take on the whole religious scene by the master Kevin Smith) 6.

It is the best of the Three) 10.Jaws (Who knew sharks were so scary? ) Honorable Mention goes to: 12 Angry Men (Another Classic) Worst Movies of All time (In My Opinion) 1.
