Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)
A TOTAL ABSOLUTE BLAST! PERFECT 10!
***MINOR SPOILERS***
Oh my god, where do I start? Lucy Lieu, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore, (mmmmmmmmm, drewwwwwwwwwll) return once again as the kick-assing angels! This movie had absolutely everything:
Action: The stunts in this movie will have you absolutely agog! totally over-the-top, but that's what makes em ohhhhhhhh so good!From the spectacular 15 minutes to the very last frame, it's pretty much nonstop. Most other commenters have said that they were way too unrealistic, but you know, I always thought the point of seeing a movie was to ESCAPE REALITY for a couple of hours, and this movie lets you do that in every way possible.
Villains: Demi Moore stars as the main villain in the movie, and oh my god, for a woman at 40, she looks not a day over 30.. hell, even 25 if you have a good imagination. ;) The other bad guy, Seamus O'Grady, is excellently executed by the GORGEOUS Justin Theroux, and he adds a chill down your spine, especially in one scene where he defies the laws of physics just like the T-1000 in T2... you'll see what I mean ;)
Comedy: I really could not help but laugh at all the sexual innuendos in this movie, and I don't usually enjoy Bernie Mac, but as Jimmy Bosely, he had me rolling in the aisle. The ever-classic John Cleese also stars as Alex's (Lucy Liu) father... he was a little more subdued than Bernie, but still a memorable performance IMO.
Special FX: Would this be an action movie without them? I think not! The best FX was easily during the motorcycle race, with some very nicely executed "Bullet Time" sequences.
Music: Oh wow... I couldn't believe how well the music was picked for each action scene... I was dancing in my seat to all the great rocking tunes such as Pink's "Feel Good Time" (easily the best track on the soundtrack,) Edwyn Collin's sultry "A Girl Like You", and an awesome remake of Sir John's "Saturday's Alright (For Fighting)" by Nickelback. This movie also provides some rocking classics, such as "U can't Touch This", "Rebel Rebel", "Livin' on a Prayer", "Any way You Want it", "Surfer Girl", "Working For The Weekend", and "Last Dance". Whoever was the sound director for this movie, thank you! Every single piece of music matched whatever was going on the screen excellently.
Sex Appeal: ummmm... where do I start? No, seriously, where do I start??? From the absolutely stunning Burlesque show at the "Treasure Chest" to seeing the angels in just about every skimpy outfit you can fathom, to seeing *both* Cam and Demi in absolutely saliva-inducing bikinis to the stunning Justin Theroux and Matt LeBlanc (yum!), you can't help but leave the theater with a dirty thought or two running around in your head... Ladies, if you take your man to this movie, you can almost guarantee some steamy hot lovin happening before the night is over... maybe even right there in the theater, hehe *eg*
Overall: Sure, just about every action scene isn't realistic in any way possible, but hey, if you want to see something real, save some money and stare out your window for a couple of hours instead of going to this movie. Otherwise, you are going to *love* it, I sure did!

Dude, Where's My Car? (2000)
SHIBBY!
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I loved this movie! Ashton Kutcher and Sean William Scott execute the stoner roles of Jesse and Chester excellently! I can't help but laugh all the way through this movie, an excellent way to waste a couple of hours! Best seen stoned on hash in order to appreciate the subtleness of a lot of the jokes, shibby! ;)

Breakfast of Champions (1999)
What the....?
Well, I don't know... I thought this movie was going to be funny, and for me, it wasn't, not by a long shot. This movie is very thought-provoking, and unfortunately, that's not what I was looking for when I rented this. It's got a decent storyline and it's very quirky, but DO NOT RENT THIS MOVIE IF YOU WANT TO LAUGH. I must admit i felt suckered in because the back of the box read like this was going to be a comedy.

The Other Sister (1999)
wow!!!!
I thought this was a very beautiful and touching film... I can't remember the last time a movie stirred up so many emotions in me all at the same time as this one did. And you know what? I really couldn't care less if this movie portrayed these type of people the "right" way or not (this *is* a fictional piece of work after all) because I saw the ideology behind the movie instead of just the movie itself.
What I took away with me from this film is that you shouldn't care about what anyone thinks about you, not your mom or your dad or your friends and relatives either, that you should just try and live for the things that you love and enjoy. The way that these two questioned almost everything that was happening to them and listened to their feelings more than their minds made me feel a lot better about the way I think and the way I feel. I love how they aren't burdened by the way they are, they just simply accept it, and I find that beautiful, absolutely uplifting! I've never seen a movie that made me laugh and cry at the same time as many times as this masterpiece did. "Don't be afraid to feel" would be the perfect tagline for this underrated film. Solid story, solid actors.
My favourite line of the whole movie? When Carla tells her mom "We can take care of each other!" Talk about tears! I'm definitely going to try to find this movie and buy it the next time I'm out and about.
By the way, in case you were curious, this was just written by a 24 year old straight male. (I'm not afraid of showing my "feminine side", whatever that means.)
Grade: A+
