Going The Distance staring Drew Barrymore (Erin) and Justin Long (Garrett) is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. I laughed from start to finish. It was not only hysterical, it was romantic.

This movie is about long distance relationships. Which we all know rarely works. That was the theme of the romance part of romantic comedy. The comedy part definitely stands out. Not only were the two main characters Erin (Barrymore) and Garrett (Long) extremely funny but the supporting cast may have surpassed their humor. Of course Drew & Justin also had to carry the romance part of the movie.

Garrett's room mate Dan played by Charlie Day was hysterical. Dan and their friend Box played by Jason Sudeikis provided most of the comedy in this film. These two men were no less than spectacular with the humor that they added to this movie. Christina Applegate who played Erin's older sister also added to the fun in this film. She looks great and did a great job in adding a lot of humor to the film.

If I even think about this film I start to laugh. If you are into comedy then you must see this film. The comedy definitely out weighs the romance in this movie. However the romance is still there and who can play it better than Drew Barrymore.

Just go see this movie. It is definately worth the money.

I just now watched the movie "Ghost of Girlfriends Past". It stars Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner. It was a good movie and had a lot of funny parts. The story line was not origional as I have seen that senario a few times. However Matthew McConaughey can stand on screen with an empty background and talk to himself and most women would watch it for hours. He is one of the most gorgeous men on the face of the earth.

Jennifer Garner was very good in the movie also. I am sure a lot of men watch the movie for her. Just do not tell that to your date. I think the the chemistry between them was not as good as Matthew and Kate Hudson. I guess that goes to show you can't pick other peoples significant others.

The plot was like the old Scrooge where Conner Mead (McConaughey) is a huge playboy without considering the women's feelings. He is such a horn dog. Anyway when he goes to his brothers wedding and starts to mess everything up his dead uncle comes to pay him a visit and proceeds to tell him he will be visited by three ghosts.

Of course the first is the ghost of girlfriends past, the second is the ghost of the present, and the third is the ghost of the future. It is a heartwarming but very funny story.

It has something for everyone. Matthew McConaughy for the ladies, Jennifer Garner for the men and love & humor for both. There were times I laughed outloud.

Now that is the kind of love story I like. Mostly laughs and only a few tears. I would recomend this as a stay at home movie date.

There are alot of funny parts in this movie but the overall my impression was just ok. Robin Williams and John Travolta are both very good and funny actors. I liked the movie but the storyline was a little weak. Wild Hogs was a much better movie and John Travolta's character was much better in that than in Old Dogs.

To tell a little about the movie, Robin Williams who plays Dan and John Travolta who plays Charlie are best friends and business partners. They are on the verge of thier biggest deal ever that would bring them the success that they have been working for. Dan (Williams)is the more serious of the two and pines over a brief relationship that he had with Vicki, played by Kelly Preston, seven years earlier.

Vicki (Preston) is going to jail for a couple of weeks for an activest crime. Before she goes to jail, she tells Charlie that he is the father of her twins. One boy and one girl. Her best friend was going to watch the children while Vicki was in jail but was injured inadvertently by Charlie. Charlie then has to take the children for the time that Vicki is in jail.

As I said there are some very funny parts to this movie. The best part is when they broke into the zoo. That is shown on most clips on TV but there is more to it. It is kind of a romatic comedy but more comedy than romance. Plus it is really hard to see Kelly Preston and Robin Williams together when everyone knows she is really married to John Travolta.

I think the movie is worth seeing. You will laugh out loud. Seth Green who plays Ralph White has some pretty funny parts too. He has a great supporting role in this movie. All in all I would say seeing this movie would be a good date.

"Men Who Stare At Goats" is a comedy about a secret group of men in the military that are called the psychic spies. The movie stars George Clooney as Lyn Cassidy who is the most phychic of all the spies. Ewan McGregor plays a reporter named Bob Wilton who goes to Iraq, after his wife leaves him, to get the story on these spies.

This movie is funny. Bob Wilton meets up with Lyn in Irac and the adventure begins. This movie is actually funnier than I thought it would be. I acutally laughed outloud a few times. Jeff Bridges who plays Bill and Kevin Spacey who plays Larry Hooper are a great supporting cast and did a great job in this movie.

Go see "Men Who Stare at Goats" if you want a good laugh. You will not regret it. It is a funny movie and will keep you entertained the whole time you are in the theatre.

It is always sad to lose such an important person in the entertainment industry. Patrick Swayze was great at romantic movies. Ghost was such a great movie about love. And what can you say about Dirty Dancing, Patrick will be truly missed. He has done a variety of movies but he was great at romance. Good looking and from what I hear, just a all around great guy. We should all be greatful for what he has brought into our lives through his movies, interviews, and tv shows that he has been on. He is truly a great entertainer.

Although he led a life tht most people dream about, it was a life that was cut short. Our hearts go out to his wife and family. He will truly be missed.

Goodbye Patrick, we love you.
