Movie Night

Every fortnight or so my best friends and I have a movie night. It started a year ago, and for some strange reason its stuck. The way movie night works is that each of us takes it in turn to choose a movie that all of us have to watch in the cinema. It can be great or it can be awful, depending on who's doing the choosing, and can I just say men have the worst taste in movies. Everytime I watch a rubbish movie, its on Tobi or Michael's turn. Michael is single handedly trying to watch all the action movies ever created, including all the sequals, so on his turn we have watched, Rocky 20 or whatever number they are on now, the bourne identity 3 (which actually wasn't that bad), die hard 4, and at the moment he's anxiously waiting for Rambo 70 to come out in London, so he can drag us to go and watch it.

Tobi on the other hand likes gross out 'comedies', and I use the word comedy in the loosest sense of the word, because these things are just not funny. Please, I ask you, what's funny about fart jokes, falling down, being inappropriate, Adam Sandler?? Cos I don't get it, but Tobi does, so on his turn, we have been subjected to Click, all those dumb Will Farrell movies about ice skating, motor car driving and bull fighting- for all I know, as I never pay attention, its' just Mr Farrell in the same movie over and over again, the sports are interchangeable. The worst one recently was goodbye chuck -an apt title we thought, as we walked out midway through the movie- even he had to agree on this one. Why can't guys like deep and meaningful movies??

Ronke likes cartoons and so recently she's taken us to see the Simpsons movie, Ratatouille and Shrek 3 (which was rubbish), talking animals are her thing, so Disney was created for her, you should see her break down during finding Nemo, and I didn't know her then, but she told me that when (spoiler alert) Mufasa died in the Lion King she was depressed for a week - to each their own, I guess
As for me, hmm, I loooooooove romantic comedies, but there hasn't been a good romantic comedy out there in ages. I'm talking about movies like When Harry met Sally - ( I came over here because I couldn't wait another minute to tell you that I love you- sounds awful when I write it, but you should hear the line said), While you were sleeping, When a man loves a Woman, The cutting edge- I'm talking about movies like that. There are no movies like that in the cinema anymore, so on my turn, we've been to see No Reservations, Atonement, Things we lost in the fire.....now I accept that none of these are particularly good movies, but hey I'm hampered by the choices that there are out there.
Movie night is always on a week night, cos on the weekend, people might have dates - other people - not me.....ok, that's a different blog.....
Anyways, why am I blogging about this, because tommorrow is movie night and its my turn, have no idea what to pick - looking at the options, it would seem to be between Cloverfield and I am Legend (which are Michael movies) or Over her dead body - which is billed as a romantic comedy but has awful reviews. Has anyone out there in blog world watched any of these? What do you guys think???
