That's a funny movie.

When you get in a committed relationship, and your girl likes chick flicks, you are sometimes forced to sit through it, even if you're not paying full attention. That is all we ask. Watching a chick flick with a chick is immune from man-card yanking. If it's a movie we like a lot, we'll watch it a lot in your presence and you will eventually learn the movie by osmosis. The Plan is flawless.

On the flip side, the same can be said about man stuff. I have been subjected to NASCAR for the past 10 years and I now can carry on an intelligible convo about it.

Thats true. Chick flicks always get me major brownie points, and she has to see "The Watchmen" with me now.

M*A*S*H ~ 9/10

It's long been my 'favourite' war film, although I loved the series, I always preferred the darker, edgier movie................at times it's quite cutting in it's views on the military, but at others, like the football game, it's just pure slap stick

Hotlips O'Houlihan: I wonder how such a degenerated person ever reached a position of authority in the Army Medical Corps.
Father Mulcahy: He was drafted.

Outlander - 8 of 10

I was a bit surprised, for a lower budget movie I thought they did a good job..

Red Sand - 5 of 10

It wasn't bad but it was slow.. It was one of those after it had finished, you wondered what else you could have been doing with the last 2 hours of your life.

Death Proof.........directed by Tarantino.....starring Kurt Russel.....7/10.
Good movie.....and Russel does a good job playing the "bad guy" imo

There may have been some exception but that was removed when it was noted that he actually paid attention and liked the movie.
He would only be immune if he was forced to watch a chick flick but was actually dreaming of Jessica Alba in a bikini being tackled by Keeley Hazell into a vat of jello. He didn't and hench his man card is revoked.

Something-something with Dick & Jane. Had Jim Carrey... was actually a lot funnier than I had anticipated.

I mentioned this a few pages back after I had watched the first half of it.

Long Way 'Round -- 9/10

After watching the full 6-hours I give it a big This was a really good documentary type film, documenting Ewen McGregor and his lesser-known actor-buddy from the UK and their attempt to ride motorcycles from London to NYC the "long way 'round" through Europe, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, (quick plane ride) Alaska, Canada and the U.S. (yes I know Alaska is part of the U.S.).

Anyways, it was just an amazing look at a HUGE part of our world that doesn't get travelled to very much. . ..for good reason. Even on all-terrain heavy-duty motorcycles they could barely pass large areas of these countries.

Their exploits trying to traverse the "Road of Bones" in far Eastern Russia are just extraordinary, as is their experiences in Kazakhstan and Mongolia. You wouldn't believe it if you didn't see it with your own eyes. What was really wonderful was seeing how they were welcomed again and again in a most generous fashion my people who had no idea who they were.

I highly recommend this for anyone that likes either a great adventure story, geography, social studies or motorcycles. . .for me I like all those topics so it was tremendous.

Hee hee... Mrs Jim? Nice to see you.

She's right, Jim. Sorry dude, when you voluntarily watch a chick movie and like it, man card gone.
