As I mentioned, Craig was out of town last weekend. Normally when he's out of town (which is not very often), I gorge my brain on Chick Flicks. Last time he was gone, I fully intended to watch "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Sex and the City." Instead, I found "An Affair to Remember" on one of the movie channels, and was sucked in by Cary Grant. (sigh... The man was sexy. The dark hair. The accent. Always played characters with a little bit of arrogant charm.)
This past weekend, two movies kept me up way too late. Neither of which could be classified as a chick flick. The first one was "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." We saw the movie in the theater on a date night. At the time I thought it was pretty funny. It's been in rotation on HBO since spring... and everytime I watch that movie it gets funnier. It's just a hoot! Extremely naughty, so if you haven't seen it and decide to watch, know that it's "naughty/raunchy" humor, but still quite funny. I mean, the lyrics to the songs alone are enough to induce fits of giggles if you think about them. And Russell Brand and Jonah Hill darn near steal the movie. And the guy from "30 Rock." There's just so much to love about this movie. Whenever it's on, I usually stop and watch it till the end. (as long as Alex is safely tucked away in bed... he's WAY to young for that!)
The other movie I get sucked into is "Wedding Crashers." I love this movie. I think Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are so hilarious. And I love Rachel McAdam. I think she is beautiful. There are so many great funny people in this movie too. Isla Fisher is great as the zany sister, Gloria. Christopher Walken and Jane Seymour are also fantastic as the parents. Wilson and Vaughn play so well off each other. I had every intention of going to bed early Sunday night... but this movie came on right after I put Alex to bed. I listened to it while doing the dishes, watched while folding the laundry, kept telling myself, "I'll just watch till the next commercial." Next thing I knew it was 11PM!!! On a work/school night!
What are the movies that make you stop your channel surfing and watch?

I love Wedding Crashers (and Vince Vaughn! I am getting sucked into a lot of late-night TV while I feed the baby.
OMG! You watched two hilarious movies. I love love love Wedding Crashers. Could watch Vince Vaughn all day long.
Were you a fan of Hangover? I have to admit that I went back to see it in the theater for a second time. Haven't done that since.... TOP GUN!
So nice to find a fellow movie lover. I do movie reviews on my blog whenever we go (which is as often as we can). I just panned Fame.
I found your blog from Twinfatuations' blog roll.
I thought Forgetting SM was really funny too. Ah, Cary Grant. ANY movie with him sucks me in...I adore Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.
Wedding Crashers gets me every time. You lock it up!!!!
Wedding Crashers is one of my all time fave comedies!! Love it :) The Hangover was good too! Have you seen The Proposal? Another really good one........
