Nice review, Drew! Although I must point something out, just for fairness's sake. If I recall, I gave you Center Stage first  You didn't have to give me a good movie.... Very amusing review, though! (I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really getting a kick out of this genderclash week.) |

I think all of the reviews this week -- especially that Runaway Bride one -- have been terrific. Seriously, kudos to the staff for pulling together to make this theme week happen. Even though it appears the girls got off scott-free, and the guys had to suffer so mercilessly.

Of course, it could just be that really manly movies have more universal appeal that really girly movies. In which case, we win.

An excellent theme week!
But, yeah, the ladies won. Where's all the extreme guy movies?
They give you Now and Then, you give them Bloodsport! They bring Center Stage, you bring Over the Top! That's the Chicago way.
Or something.
But "nekkidswayzebutt" tips the scales. Go females!

To be fair, I DID pick a much better movie for Nancy (Quigley Down Under, mwahahahaaaa), but she claims she couldn't find it anywhere. So Waterworld was my backup. I think she should still do Quigley. What do you guys think?  |

I think everyone should have to do Quigley. It could be like a Mutant initiation.
"I killed the Comanches, but little bitty's just fine, he's just, he's just fine..."
Personally, I DO think manly movies have more universal appeal, but maybe that's because I hate the Hollywood version of how romances should go and I love to watch things blow up. I also love to mock Harlequin romance covers.
I mean, seriously. There are people who pay money for books with titles like "In the Spaniard's Bed" and "Her Baby Affair." I'll bet they own every Meg Ryan movie ever made plus all those lame old Goldie Hawn ones where she shrieks and flails around a lot.
To be strictly fair, SOMEONE is also buying the Mac Bolan novels...

Why do you mock them, if your bedroom's bookshelves are full of them? Or do you not remember some of the initial pictures you sent of yourself to MRFH when you applied? It was like you were against a sea of lilac and lavender tomes, for pete's sake. |

Quigley Down Under, or as I like to call, Selleck Vs Rickman in the Manliest Facial Hair Fight to the Death. I seem to remember there being something else in way of story, but make no mistake, this is what the true meaning of the movie is.
I'm with Shalen, everyone should have to review it.

This week on Mutant Reviewers:
In which Justin attempts to give Shalen a heart attack.
Next week:
In which Shalen figures out too late that he was kidding, already having mailed him her Doc Savage collection with a sarcastic note and an infectious dose of smallpox.
