Wedding Yard!

To celebrate the start of the weekend, I went with a friend on Thursday to watch Wedding Crashers by Owen Wilson & Vince Vaughn. It was a good laugh but the humor was based solely on sexual content. I liked Vince more than Owen. Owen was too dopey to look sincere effectively, but then I didn’t go expecting great acting. The movie would be a great date movie (has enough lovey dovey content to please the love stricken female), where the men wouldn’t be bored senseless. It’s a movie where both women and men will laugh together. My verdict: Go see it only after you have seen all the other movies you want to see and have nothing else better to do. This is a definitely a movie you could see in a video!

On Saturday, I went to see The Longest Yard by Adam Sandler & Chris Rock. Now that was a GOOD movie (It was not as good as White Chicks of course). It makes you cry and then laugh, and laugh really loud too. I couldn’t stop my tears coming out at the beginning of the movie, when Adam crashed the Bentley Continental. It broke my heart to see that beauty smashed from all sides. It still pains me when I remember that scene. From that point on, however, I couldn’t stop laughing. Even at the most “somber” moments, as during the Caretaker’s (Chris) funeral, there was some humor. This movie might not be very popular with the dreamy eyed females, but the men will adore it. Though ladies, if you want to see some great bodies, you will also like this movie (I mean really some nice bodies!) My Verdict: Don’t miss it on the big screen!

I went to see The Longest Yard by myself. I was one of the people who thought “URGH how can I go to a movie alone” but I have reformed a year ago. If I didn’t have company, I wouldn’t go. When I did have company, I’d have to agree on a movie that we all want to watch, which sometimes means not the one I want. It was that simple and that frustrating. So a year ago, I gathered my courage (and yes I thought I need courage to see a movie alone), and went to the least popular theater and the least popular movie all by myself. I enjoyed it. Now every so often, I go and see a movie by myself. It’s very refreshing. Of course, friends and family think I’m a complete weirdo. Am I? I don’t think so. Why do we need someone with us while watching a movie? To tell them to shut up, maybe? Or to explain the plot to them (I really hate that!)? Or worse, get hurt by their jerking when they get surprised (Yes Hiba, I will never forget that!)?
Fantastic Four and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (with a huge chocolate bar in hand) are next on my agenda of movies to watch alone, as no one is interested in watching them any way!

After successfully getting over my fear of going to the movies alone, I’m planning next to learn how to go to restaurants and café’s all by myself and not order take out! This will be very hard, but I’ll try! Now where is that coworker I’m supposed to go lunch with this minute?
