Movies.. Movies.. Movies...

The last couple of nights, the Oxygen channel (yes, I'm gay) has been playing The Others, the Nicole Kidman supernatural thriller from 2001. I have always enjoyed this movie as the atmosphere and suspense were done so well that it sent chills without any gore whatsoever. Kidman is incredible and Fionnula Flanagan as the creepy Mrs. Mills should have been *at least* nominated for an Oscar.

As this is "Friday" for a lot of us, here's some questions to answer as I'm always on the lookout for movies to watch:

1. What is your favorite scary movie? Horror movie?
   
2. Your favorite comedy movie?
   
3. Action flick?
   
4. Romantic film?
   
5. Independent or quirky movie?
   
6. Guilty Pleasure?
   
7. The Movie You're Embarrassed to Admit You Like?

1. I love The Fog (1980) and Black Christmas (1974), but I admit that The Orphanage (2007) ranks up there as a fave scary movie.
   
2. I can watch The Birdcage and Steel Magnolias over and over again. Everyone in my family thinks the latter is depressing, but there are some truly TRULY funny lines in that movie.
   
3. Definitely Hot Fuzz
   
4. I'm not much of a romantic movie guy, but I love While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock.
   
5. Not sure I'd call it a favorite, but for some reason Lars and the Real Girl comes to mind for this one.
   
6. The Incredibles... Van Helsing and Underworld
   
7. A complete chick flick, but I adore Practical Magic.

My "favorites" fluctuate a lot, but at this very moment in my brain:

1. Scream still stands out for me as being one of the most original, genre-affecting "scary movies" out there.
2. There are so many... but Mean Girls never gets old.
3. Mission Impossible. Isn't that awful?
4. Serendipity. I can pretend it's about me and Jeremy Piven!
5. American Beauty.
6. Trick. It's gratuitous but sweet.
7. The Pirate Movie. OMG, it's delicious.

Why is The Incredibles a guilty pleasure? It's a great movie!

The "This Kiss" scene in Practical Magic is one of my favorite movie scenes EVER.

LOL.. I think I picked the Incredibles in a hurry. I think "Van Helsing" and "Underworld" are more appropriate.

And I just can watch Practical Magic over and over... I love the older aunts and how each generation seems to have one red head and one brunette as a set of sisters.

Sadly, with the state of his hairless chest, I have nearly given up on dear Jeremy Piven... Jeffrey Dean Morgan (http://z.about.com/d/movies/1/0/Y/X/Q/fredclausprem10.jpg) is currently courting me as my celebrity love.
