I Love You, Man
This movie was filled with the wonderful charm and comedy of a great romantic comedy, and yet still had the draw for the guys in this goofing no holes barred exploration of the guy friend relationship. When this movie came out in theaters there was little bad that could be said about it, because it fulfilled all the basic needs of a movie, it was fun, it completely entertaining and while the ending might have been predictable, by then you really didn’t care. Paul Rudd and Jason Segal pulled off brilliant performances that was only aided by a very witty script and direction. If you did not catch this one in theaters, don’t miss out on it now. And if you did, well it’s even better the second…or third time around.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Film Collection
This box set has every cheesy, corny crazy moment you could possibly want as it includes all four of the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies. These movies were always a fun and wild ride, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III was one of my favorite movies when I was younger. To look at them now, they’re funny in an entirely new way, but still offer a very fun time.
17 Again
Let the cliches roll, if the plotline for this movie sounds scarily like 13 Going on 30 and Freaky Friday, but with a guy you’d be right (perhaps a reverse Big?). The even stranger thing, the movie was never made for guys anyway. With Zac Efron taking off his shirt as much as could be realistically allowed, the movie is just filled with gratuitous Zac Efron for the ladies. This isn’t to say that is an entirely bad thing, after all Elvis got away with it, but if you’re not a teenage girl, it’s unlikely you’ll find much to be impressed about with this one.
Alien Trespass
As a kid my father would always force me to suffer through the terrible special effects and cheesy scripts of the old fashioned 1950’s sci-fi movies. Alien Trespass is a modern version playing homage to the “greatness” of those films. While today I can appreciate them more, I still cannot watch them without a MST3000 commentary. This movie though has a few familiar faces and the special effects are a bit better. Expect the cheesy script and ridiculous plot line, but when all that comes together it’s a fun and silly movie, done up like a terrifying scifi thriller.
The Crypt
This movie is probably one for all the zombie fans even though these are closer to the undead race you’d find in WoW. For this movie six people decide to descend into the catacombs to steal from depression-era remains – but in a big twist the undead are guarding the remains and the six would-be thieves have to fight to stay alive. Predictable, but good for a scare or two.
