14 Days of Romance Marathon


What with February 14th (Valentine's Day) quickly coming upon us... this year I thought I would take this opportunity to watch 14 days of Romantic Movies and Valentine's Day Episodes of TV Series. So starting TOMORROW (2/06/11) I will begin this marathon! Movie wise I plan to concentrate mostly on Romantic Comedies... but any romance movies will be allowed. So for the next two weeks I will be watching people fall in love till I am ready to puke!

Going by what DVD Profiles says I have with the Genre of Romance I should have about 100 movies I can choose from. Many of which I have never seen before... so hope the ones I haven't has the correct Genre on it!

I also have 30 Valentine Day episodes of TV Series I can watch through-out the marathon as well.

Hopefully I will get a nice amount watched over the next couple weeks!

Plot:
Who knew that when he ordered the special, he'd get the dish of his life? David Duchovny ("The 'X'-Files") and Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting) ignite sparks in this "warm-hearted winner" (Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview) about a widower and a waitress who meet and fall in love. Featuring an incredible all-star cast, this hilarious romantic comedy delivers a lot of laughs, tears and joys that will make your spirits soar.

It took a lot of coaxing to get Bob (Duchovny), a recently widowed architect, to go on a blind date at a quirky Irish-Italian eatery. Once there, he's smitten instantly...not with his date, but with the sharp-witted waitress, Grace (Driver). With unsolicited help from Grace's match-making Grandfather (Carroll O'Connor), Bob asks her out. And as their relationship blossoms, everything seems to be going great, until an unbelievable truth is revealed...one that could easily break both of their hearts for good.

My Thoughts:
This one has some good cast in it... so I was looking forward to checking it out. But what I didn't realize until I was a good half way through the movie is that this is a movie I caught a very small part of years ago at a relative's house but never knew what it was. They had it on cable when I went and it drew me in pretty quick... but we left shortly after we got there... and I never found out what it was. So not only was this a good movie... it is one I been wanting to see for several years now.

I found this one to be a great story... very moving and fun at the same time. I like how they showed it as the heart being much more then a muscle that pumps blood. That there is something there... something special... something recognizable. This is one I definitely recommend... if you haven't seen this movie before... give it a chance.

My Rating: 4/5

Thanks Chris

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I saw on cable not all that long ago... along with it's two sequels. And at that time I enjoyed every minute of it. Watching it for the second time today I enjoyed it just as much as the first. I really like the character of Cassandra Nightingale (The Good Witch) and the lovely Catherine Bell did a wonderful job in the role. I couldn't imagine anyone doing it better. If there is anything I didn't care for though... it would be that the ending felt like it was settled a little quickly and easily. But that didn't really take away from the movie for me.

After watching it the first time on Cable I was quick to see if these movies were on DVD. I was thrilled to find this one and ordered it on the next order I made. But unfortunately the two sequels have not been released yet. Hopefully they will be before too long. Also unfortunate is the fact that this DVD release has no extras what so ever.

My Rating: 4/5

Episode Watched:
My Bloody Valentine
Stupid Cupid On Valentines Day, the brothers are out for cherub blood when the laughing love god goes rogue, causing sweethearts to die - and kill - for love. But then a man perishes from a Twinkie gorge-athon and the guys realize something more is going on.


My Thoughts:
This is a good episode as usual (I always did like this show)... Though it did kinda forget it was a Valentine's day episode about half way through. But what they did do with the Valentine's Day theme was fun... I especially got a laugh on how they did the cupid.

My Rating: 4/5

Caught Chloe on Blu from the library last night. It's kind of romantic, in a sexy sleezy dirty way.
