Hey, where's that chocolate cake?

Sorry, guys. I know that posting has been slow lately. I'm sure you've all been on the edge of your seats, anxiously wondering whether or not we are watching movies anymore, whether we will ever finish this project and fulfill this site's promise or abandon it to join myspace for a slow death in the internet wasteland of neglected media.

I'm not going to lie, it's been really tough lately. We knew that we would hit a speed bump when we got to the 2000s, but we underestimated just how high that bump would be.

"How tough Can it be," you may ask, "I mean, you're just watching movies, right?" I'm telling you, it's Really tough. Sure, we hit some rough patches before (Amos and Andrew? Trapped in Paradise? Zandalee?), but those movies always seemed to follow or precede other more interesting ones, or at least we had never heard of them so didn't know what we were getting into, or there was Judge Reinholt, or Something. Plus, we were in Sober April so even at the worst of times we would usually just shrug, crack open another root beer, and carry on.

However, Sober April is long gone, so when faced with this situation: "Hey, we both have the night off! What do you want to do? So and so is playing here, or we could go to so and so's party, or we could go hang out with so and so at bar xyz...or we could just stay in and knock out The Family Man?" ...well, yeah.

But, never fear, we finally watched it. Because we are not quitters! (And also maybe because it was the end of the month and we were broke--I rented it with change.)

And, you know, it wasn't too bad.

The Family Man (2000)

Tea Leoni is so weird looking. I think that's why she's surprisingly endearing in this movie. You find yourself almost thinking she's cute, and then she makes this face and you're like, whoa, she is Weird looking. Is she in anything else? I don't know. But anyway, for what it is, I think this is a cute movie. Kinda more one that you would watch on TV when you have a hangover than one that is actually worth renting, but definitely watchable. I don't know, maybe we're getting soft.

Don Cheadle is some kinda angel or something, which is pretty lolz. And the little girl is cute. Nic's pretty restrained, which is a slight letdown, but there's no baby-talking Dana Carvey, so you pick your battles I guess.

And, also it inexplicably spawned this incredibly bizarre youtube video (thanks, Jill!). so...uh...there's that.




Cory sez.. I'm not sure why I liked it, but I kinda had a good time with this. I do not suggest actually watching it.
