Before I begin, I should give my Man Card to Seth because I know he would ask for it after reading this so here you go Seth.  *gives Man Card*  Don’t go too far because I will need that back in a bit.

So.

I love movies.  I love many movies and there only a few that I can honestly say that I don’t like.  White Chicks comes to mind, that movie was so stupid but it had it moments, no it was just stupid, sorry to those who liked it, not my humor I guess.  Where did this come from you might wonder?

Well insomnia has me awake again and I can’t sleep so I figured I will try to do something a little productive with my time so I am here to write about my love for movies.  Seeing as I gave up my Man Card early on, this is not going to be about shoot’em up, crashes and explosion type movies with ample tits and ass.  Even though I enjoy those movies and have seen many of them, I can’t ignore those other movies that I tend to end up watching at 3 o’clock in the morning.  Like this movie for instance.

I didn’t catch it from the beginning but it was interesting enough for me to keep watching and before you knew it, I am writing this blog as the credits roll.  Maybe it is that I watched that Martin Lawrence movie earlier, “Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins” and at the heart of that movie is a father and son relationship.  I miss my Dad.  Some days more than others and tonight, I just couldn’t help but be in a nostalgic mood.

My Father instilled in me a love for movies and something that I know has been passed on from him to me on down to my sons.  It is a game almost where we watch movies and I point out to them actors that they may recognize from other movies.  Now they are doing it for me.  We were watching the new Star Trek trailer and they both thought they recognized one of the actors from the new Wolverine movie that we got to see the other weekend.  I love that.  =)

Excuse me.  *punches Seth and takes back Man Card*  Sorry Milla Jovovich and the beginning of Resident Evil: Extinction just caught my eye.  =)  Damn is she hot.  Hey!  Ali Larter is in this one too.  LOL  *gives back Man card*

So as I was saying, I love movies and with my insomnia I find that there are some really great movies out there that don’t get the full Hype Machine Treatment and I guess that is okay because they become gems for me to find.  Like that movie I linked to earlier.  It is one of those Body Switch Comedies, you know’em you love them.  This one was a bit different.

It wasn’t exactly like the Jimmy Smits/Elen Barkin movie aptly named “Switch” but it was essentially the same.  Male in a female body but this one had both the male and female.  Boy and girl, neighbors, always at odds with each other happen to switch bodies and find love at the end.

What I enjoyed about it and all other boy meets girl movies is that no matter what situation the two people are put in, I know that it is scripted for a happy ending where the two that we know are meant to be together end up together.  Assholes and lady assholes get the shaft or their asses exposed in public, same ol same ol right?  Of course.  It was scripted that way.

I guess watching Roscoe Jenkins earlier just put me in a mood to want to enjoy a movie and get into it, to allow myself to be immersed and enjoy the characters for what they are meant to be.  They (The Jenkins Family) are just that, a Family.  I enjoyed the movie, I enjoyed the characters.  I love how I can watch a movie and then see the same actor in another movie.  Let’s see if you movie buffs can identify the actor that was in both “Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins” and “Resident Evil: Extinction” then for fun tie him to Kevin Bacon.  =)  He usually has some great supporting roles.

So I was in the mood to watch a movie and I was surprised at how easy it was for me to get immersed into what can be considered a chick flick.  C’mon, most boy meets girl movies are considered chick flicks and I do tend to watch them in the middle of the night when I feel like watching a movie.

I started this with a thought in mind but it really is just another opportunity for me to write.  I have been wanting to get into a routine of writing something everyday and for the most part I have been able to but I think I had meant that to be in one place for one purpose.  I would love to be called a novelist but I haven’t found my niche.

I can write comedy but I am not always the funniest person.  I know I can write romances but I don’t think I can keep it a romance novel.  I can write horror and at one time wrote what started out as a romance (short story) but ended up with a severed hand.  Maybe I can write all three, a romantic horror with comedic undertones.  *shrugs*

Hmm, that does sound interesting.  I guess I could write a novel that I know could be a movie.  A movie that I would want to watch with my buddies.  Or something that I can watch by myself in the middle of the night.  I think I have exhausted my creative juices for now so I will look now to take back what is mine.

Seth knowing what is coming tries to give back my Man Card but it is too late.  He winces as a fist flies through the air and hits him square in the arm.  =)  I wished Ashanti had more of a role in this movie that I am watching right now (RE: Extinction) but I guess I can easily put on a DVD and watch her performance in “John Tucker Must Die”.  No I can watch Ali Larter and Milla for a while and then maybe I will jump into some Resident Evil 5 for some Versus mode.
