Since I haven’t seen a movie in a long time that is worthy of writing a review for,  I thought I’d make a list of my Top 5 Movie Kisses.  They really aren’t in any particular order, but you can probably guess my absolute favorite:

1.  The Notebook–Ok, if you hadn’t guessed by now, what took you so long??  This kiss is my absolute favorite.  Actually, I love every kiss from this movie, but this one is the best.  How can it not be?  There is really no comparison when it comes to this kiss. 

2.  Serendipity- A cute movie, a sweet kiss, and of course, John Cusack (again in some sort of precipitation).

3.  Gone With the Wind–A classic kiss!  I just watched it on youtube and I love how Scarlett’s all “Fiddledeedee” and Rhett’s all “None of the fools you’ve known have kissed you like this—have they? ”  I just love the way he takes hold of the situation and puts her in her place.  Not that I’m about men putting women in places, but it works in this scene.

4.  Titanic-The color of the sky, the costumes, LEO!!!  This is a truly magical kiss. 

 5.  Sixteen Candles–Ahh, Jake Ryan.  Didn’t every girl who grew up in the 80’s want to kiss Jake Ryan.  Gosh was he was dreamy.    Anyway, this is a great kiss:

So, what famous movie kiss do you think should be added to this list?

With the summer blockbuster season quickly approaching, I thought it would be fun to make a list of the 13 movies that I’m most excited about that will be coming soon to theaters.   Unless I win the lottery, I probably wil only see one or two of them, but that is ok.  

My Most Anticipated Movies of 2008:

1.  Wanted–I’m really not much of an action movie lover, but then I saw the trailer (see pic below of James McAvoy) and guess what??!!  I’m there.  This may be worth the $10 a ticket and $20 snacks.   The only thing that may ruin it is watching him kissing all over Angelina.  But I’ll have to just put up with it.

2. Hancock–As many times as I’ve seen this trailer, I still crack up every time I see Will Smith throw that whale back in the ocean.  Having Jason Bateman in it doesn’t hurt either.  This should be FUNNY!

3. Sex and the City–I hope this one lives up to the hype.  It will be hard to match the greatness of the show, but I think it will be good.  They just better give Big and Carrie a happy ending. 

4.  The Accidental Husband–I’m a sucker for a good romantic comedy.  With the leading men being Denny Duquette and Mr. Darcy, what’s not to love??

5.  The Happening–I’ve loved just about everything that M. Night Shyamalan has done (with the exception of the terrible Lady in the Water–that was unwatchable).  Summer isn’t the same without a disaster movie, so I’m really looking forward to this one!

6  Chronicles of Narnia-Prince Caspian–The first one was surprisingly good.  I say surprisingly because I don’t typically like the fantasy genre.  I hope the second one is just as great.   I will miss seeing Mr. Tumnus/James McAvoy  (I’d break my hobbit rule for him) though.                                Still Cute:

7.  Kung Fu Panda–My kids are really excited about this one and it does look kind of funny. 

8.  Revolutionary Road–Unless this one gets horrible reviews I’m there.  This is the closest I’m going to get to a sequel to Titanic.  I think Leo and Kate are very talented on their own, but I love them together!

9.  Eagle Eye–I’m putting this Shia film on my list instead of the Indiana Jones movie and I’m sure that sounds pretty insane.  I’m just not a huge fan of the other Indy movies or Harrison Ford, so I’m excited for this one more.  Shia is back working again with “Disturbia” director D.J. Caruso playing a young slacker whose twin brother has died mysteriously. Rachel (Monaghan) finds that her child is missing, and soon the two strangers realize that they have been framed as terrorists. Forced to become members of a cell that has plans to carry out a political assassination, they must work together to extricate themselves while being led by a mysterious voice.

10.  The Time Traveler’s Wife–This is the only movie on this list that I can say for sure that I will be seeing in the theater.  I really liked the book and am so curious how they are going to make it into a movie.  Plus, I’ll pretty much see anything Rachel McAdams makes.  Love her!!

11.  Zak and Miri Make a Porno–I hesitated putting this one on the list, but I’m guessing with Seth Rogan and Kevin Smith behind it that it should be amusing.  Plus, I’m curious to see how funny Jason Mewes (Jay of the Jay and Silent Bob movies) is now that he has supposedly cleaned up his act. 

12.  Curious Case Of Benjamin Buttons–This one is directed by David Fincher who did Zodiac (which I loved).  It stars Brad Pitt as a the title character.  He begins the story as an old man, then begins physically aging in reverse.  It’s based on a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald.  Sounds intriguing.

13.   Mamma Mia–I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t seen the musical on stage yet.  But I hadn’t seen Chicago and I loved the movie.  Sometime I think it is better to see the movie first because I’m sure that seeing it on stage is always better, so it is probably a disappointment to see the movie afterward.  Kinda like reading the book and then seeing the movie.  This one looks really good.  (Two new Colin Firth movies–yay!!)  Here’s the trailer in case you haven’t seen it yet:

 So which movie (on my list or otherwise) are you most excited about?  Leave your answer in my comments section.
