Well,

I was pleasantly surprised with both of these films.

DWP -- surprisingly good character development for such a hyped movie. They could have gone for the cheap laughs, but instead they made it a real human interest story. I really actually watching it. Meryl Streeps character was so understated as to be sublimely entertaining.

Monster House -- Fun, mindless entertainment, and longer than I would have expected for this kind of feature. The CG characters were created with much love, and imbued with some really neat character tics and flaws. I almost wanted to scream at the chubby kid, he was so annoying. They really captured the essence of youth in the primary characters too.

I'd recommend both of these mainline films for a fun evening alone, or with a friend.

I thought we'd already established we both thought you were cute? 

I couldn't actually get into the devil wears prada I thought it was rubbish however I dont really like "chick" flicks. Any movies with out guns, fast cars killing I dont actually like Im not one of those men who will watch a romantic movie because they bore me. Dirty Dancing or Die Hard? Ummmm DIE HARD!

Yep, those are good.  I've seen and enjoyed both of them.

Dirty Dancing bored the hell out of me. But speaking of Brucie boy. Did you know that he is a right wing, conservative supporter?  Hmmm?  he can kiss my skinny white a**!  I boycott all movies that he is in, including Pulp Fiction, which is a classic. But I make an exception for 'The Fifth Element,' because it also stars Milla Jovovich.  Meowwrrrrrr!

I personally don't judge a film on it's genre, more on it's quality. Chick flick, shoot 'em up, whatever. I'm more interested in being entertained by good dialogue and character development. Rush Hour was a stunt-filled, violent, over-the-top, shoot 'em up, but Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan were really entertaining, so it was funny, and interesting to watch.

Then you have a film like Gone In 60 Seconds. Who the hell believes that a woman like Angelina Jolie is going to fall for what's his face? The Ghost-Rider guy. He's a putz. He's a good character actor, but he is no action flick hero. He is just not believable in those roles.
The acting and dialogue in that movie were horrendous. 'Eleanor,' the 'Chip Foose' Mustang, was the real star of the movie. But it sucked. A.J. should be ashamed of herself, for agreeing to do that flick.

I'm a chick and I love romantic movies and thrillers and action movies.
I'll admit I prefer rewatching chick flicks than action movies though.

Though I agree Gone in 60 second sucks ass except for the cars.

Series like Lost, I just adore. I'm a Kate wannabe  and its not just because
she's with Sawyer... Well, its not JUST because of that.
