Ten Best Picture nominees… Really? What do you think?
When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced it’s doubling the number of Best Picture nominees to ten, my first thought was “gawd, that means the Oscars will…
Food, Inc.
Go see this movie. But be forewarned, it could quite possibly alter the way you and your family eat. This is a well-done documentary about the Food Industry in America.…
Nine
I think musicals by their very nature are chick flicks, and "9" is a great one. I saw it on Broadway when it came out in 1982 with Raul Julia…
Chick Flick rules the Weekend
This weekend, a chick flick took over the top spot at the box office for the first time since... when was the last big chick flick? I think it says…
The Proposal
The Proposal is the kind of movie you can take your mother to. In fact, I did, and we both enjoyed it. A pretty standard romantic comedy, it was a…
The Hangover
Is “The Hangover” a chick flick by standard definition? Certainly not. Did this chick laugh her ass off? Hell yes. Just because it’s a “guy” comedy about a bachelor party…
The Road Home 我的父亲母亲 (1989)
"The Road Home" is a fantastic chick flick, a 3 hankie love story set in a small village in north China sometime during the Cultural Revolution though you'd never know…

He’s Just Not That Into You
Sorry but I just wasn’t that into this movie. I really wanted to be. I even bought it the day it came out on DVD to take with me on…
Up
Up is a glorious, sweet film – another brilliant work from Pixar. I laughed, I cried. No, seriously, I teared up during the opening sequence that portrays the life-long love…
Happy Go Lucky
We've all had those people in our lives that seem to be unnaturally happy. For those of us who aren't like that, it can be very hard to take sometimes.…
Australia
I kind of wanted to see it when it was in the theaters, but it didn't stay around that long and I missed it. Glad I saved the 9 bucks.…
Star Trek
I'm a little late to the party, but I finally saw the new "Star Trek" movie over the weekend. My expectations were probably a tad too high going in based…
Twilight: New Moon
Since Mainsteam Chick mentioned it, I thought I should upload the trailer to the only real big chick flick of the year. Is this really all there is? I am…
The Chickflix of Summer
Where are the chick flicks in the summer? Why did summer become the place of big action/adventure films for boys and little else? When I went to see Star Trek,…
