To open this totally fabulous Mean Girls Week, I think it’s just appropriate that we start with a review of the Mean Girls DVD. Yes, I got weird looks when I bought it. No, I’m not gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I’m just an admirer of this often misjudged modern classic based on a self-help book for parents with no narrative whatsoever. Also, I have a thing for hot girls in pink.
It’s the last day of DVD Week and I’ve decided to make it special. So far, I’ve featured movies on DVD. It’s time to unleash the first TV show on this stupid blog series. Ladies and gents, Heroes Season 1!
…
Stupid crickets. Anyhoo, I have longed to watch episodes of the first season of Heroes as a single cohesive unit for months, and thanks to my former girlfriend (a topic for another time), I’ll long no more.
People said it shouldn’t be done. They said it would ruin the TV show. They said it’s going to suck like hell. I say SHUT UP, NERDS! The Simpsons Movie is just what it is: a movie done, Simpsons style! OK, that didn’t make sense, so let’s just talk about it here, the fourth and penultimate chapter of DVD Week.
So far on DVD Week, we’ve seen a wall-crawling super-hero and swashbuckling bloody pirates. Today, the spotlight goes to a rat who wants to be a chef in Paris. Ratatouille is brought to us by my favorite creative tandems, Pixar and Brad frickin’ Bird. The Incredibles is still superior, but this baby is a close second.
It’s the second swashbuckling day of DVD Week, and today, it’s all about the third movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise: At World’s End. I actually lost interest in the franchise when I heard the reviews on Dead Man’s Chest. I didn’t see it when it hit theaters. Same thing with At World’s End, but when I heard about Chow Yun Fat joining the cast in the third installment, I thought there will be some Kung Fu pirate action involved, but sadly, there were none. =(
