The MTV Movie Awards are on tonight and I think for the first time in a long time, I’m genuinely excited to tune in to see who wins. Usually, I’m only about major movie awards so I can see the beautiful gowns and semi-awkward interviews, but with a host whom I absolutely adore (Aziz Ansari) and a ton of special guests and presenters (uhhhhh…I guess Jersey Shore sorta counts), this may be one of the most interesting MTV Movie Awards yet.

Here are just a few things I’m looking forward to.

Two words: Tom Cruise.
He’s been making airwaves with his cameos as the potty-mouth, take-no-prisoners executive producer Les Grossman (who first showed up from the superbly funny movie Tropic Thunder). I only hope he’ll come up on stage with his big hands, jump on a couch, gyrate across the stage (in his undies?) and then continue to bitch everyone in the audience out. Classic Tom and classic Les.

The adorable, self-deprecating host, Aziz Ansari.
The MTV Movie Awards usually has pretty good taste with their choices of hosts who are normally pretty funny and likeable. But seriously, who doesn’t love funny men and even more so, funny Indian men. Yah, Aziz isn’t your typical Hollywood hunk, but he’s super endearing. I want him. Yum.

The prolific return of Sandra Bullock.
If ya’ll haven’t picked up my love and respect for Ms. Sandy, I don’t know where you’ve been (or what you’ve got stored up in that place where your heart is supposed to be). She’s going to make her first debut appearance ever since her cheating, lying scum of a husband, Jesse James, cheated on her with multiple women. It’s saying a lot about Sandy by her showing up to the MTV Movie Awards. She’ll be accepting MTV’S Generation Award, which is similar to the Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Ten bucks she gets a standing ovation. Read More »

Not gonna lie – I’m not a fan of war movies.  Granted, depending on my mood, I might be persuaded to sit down and watch a couple bloody hours of awesomeness.  Most often, a boy toy convinces me to watch one and I do all I can to spend the entire time making-out with him rather than actually watching to movie.

Now that I’ve laid that down, in honor of Memorial Day I’d like to give special attention to those movies that actually made me stop the tongue dance and watch the action (on the screen…not under the blanket).  Here’s my (very uninformed) list of the 10 greatest war movies:

The Patriot: Lots of blood and guts, but the costumes make this movie a hit for me.  Plus, Heath Ledger is pretty awesome as an innocent boy who just wants to fight for the country he thought we should have.  Thanks, fictional homie.

Schindler’s List: This is  a must see on any movie list and should probably be your first reference for war movies.  Aside from the incredible performances and intricate plot, I’m lovin’ the black and white effect in this one.  And Liam Neeson?  Very yummy in his day.

The Big Red One: I saw this one while going through a Star Wars phase (…which may or may not still be going on), since it stars a young Mark Hamill [Luke Skywalker]  as a member of a famous heroic band of men.  It’s gritty, bloody, and emotionally satisfying.

Gone With the Wind: I’m gonna include this one because it shows the other side of the war – the home front.  It’s a masterpiece, from the incredible acting to the sweeping score.  I very much enjoy the costumes in this one as well (there might be a trend here…).

Tropic Thunder: So maybe this movie isn’t actually about a war, so much as a movie about a bunch of guys trying to make a movie about a war.  At any rate, there were guns and blood, so it counts.  Plus, it was funny and if you can make a war movie funny then you’ve got some talent, my friend.

I am sorry.

As it seems, I am currently suffering from a WICKED case of PMS. I have never really fallen victim to this monthly debacle, but in the last 24 hours I have felt overwhelmingly compelled to freak out on nearly everyone I have come into contact with, and, well, have.

For that, I’d like to make amends.

My dear, sweet boyfriend:

Sorry for freaking out on you after you felt compelled to repeat – verbatim – nearly the entire dialog from “Tropic Thunder.” I know you enjoyed the movie, and in a sick way enjoyed how irritated it made me for you to continue doing it, but that was no excuse to smack you on the arm with the blunt force of a car crash then scream at you like a fire-breathing dragon. It was mortifying to see you look so terrified of me.

Waitress at the Goose:

I understand how it can be working in food service; I have been there too, sister. With that in mind, I am sorry for being a total bitch after finding out we were merely 4 minutes late to order food last night. Sure, my eye rolling and walking out of the restaurant without a comment to you was rude, but, in my defense, I had just spent 2 hours watching “Tropic Thunder” and was famished. If I didn’t eat something soon, I was going to lose it and my poor boyfriend was going to be my target practice. I’m sorry for being so rude. In hindsight hanging around, having a few pitchers and enjoying the quick buzz may have been exactly what I needed. Read More »
