30 Day Movie Challenge: Day #28

Day 28. Movie With Your Favorite Hero

I’ve used some of my favorite heroes for other categories but here are some others that I really do love.

• Gru in Despicable Me (2010)–When a criminal mastermind uses a trio of orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme, he finds their love is profoundly changing him for the better. Starring the voices of Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig and Miranda Cosgrove. Besides just loving everything about this movie, Gru is one of my all-time favorite movie characters! He tries so hard to be a bad guy but he just has too big of a heart.

• Gracie Hart in Miss Congeniality (2000)–An FBI agent must go undercover in the Miss United States beauty pageant to prevent a group from bombing the event. Starring Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine and Benjamin Bratt. This movie is too freaking funny! Gracie Hart is a badass chick but in a really fun way. She’s just adorable!

• Slim in Enough (2002)–On the run from an abusive husband, a young mother begins to train herself to fight back. Starring Jennifer Lopez, Billy Campbell, Juliette Lewis and Noah Wyle. Here is a woman that doesn’t take any crap from anyone. She is so strong and really stands up for herself and her daughter.

• Forrest Gump in Forrest Gump (1994)–Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny eludes him. Starring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise and Sally Field. Even though he doesn’t always do things by thinking them through, Forrest has a great heart and always does things for others. He is an all around good guy.

• Erin Brockovich in Erin Brockovich (2000)–An unemployed single mother becomes a legal assistant and almost single-handedly brings down a California power company accused of polluting a city’s water supply. Directed for Steven Soderbergh. Starring Julia Roberts, Albert Finney and David Brisbin. The epitome of tough woman. She doesn’t let anyone tell her what to do. She stands for what is right even when no one else will.

30 Day Movie Challenge: Day #3

Day 3. Favorite Comedy

I can easily say that comedy is my favorite genre of film. As much as I think other genres create better quality movies, there is nothing like being completely entertained for a couple of hours.

• Wedding Crashers (2005)–John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, a pair of committed womanizers who sneak into weddings to take advantage of the romantic tinge in the air, find themselves at odds with one another when John meets and falls for Claire Cleary. Stars Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Rachel McAdams. I absolutely love this movie!! It is a favorite of my entire family…it’s always on our tv. I quote it all the time. “Mom! The meatloaf! Fuck!”

• Bridesmaids (2011)–Competition between the maid of honor and a bridesmaid, over who is the bride’s best friend, threatens to upend the life of an out-of-work pastry chef. Kristen Wiig writes and stars along side Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper and Melissa McCarthy. I love the girl power and I still can’t believe that it’s taken this long for people to see that women are funny.

• Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)–A group of misfits enter a Las Vegas dodgeball tournament in order to save their cherished local gym from the onslaught of a corporate health fitness chain. Stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Christine Taylor. Any combination of the guys in the frat pack (Vince, Ben, Will, Owen, Jack) is a formula for a funny movie.

• Get Smart (2008)–Maxwell Smart, analyst for the secret spy agency CONTROL, alongside the experienced Agent 99, must prevent KAOS, an enemy agency from Russia, from bringing disaster to America. Stars Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and Alan Arkin. There is a good amount of action yet there is comedy at every beat.

• Elf (2003)–After inadvertently wreaking havoc on the elf community due to his ungainly size, a man raised as an elf at the North Pole is sent to the U.S. in search of his true identity. Directed by Jon Favreau and stars Will Ferrell, James Caan and Bob Newhart. This is by far the best Christmas movie ever made but it doesn’t need to be the holiday season to watch this movie. Will Ferrell is one of the funniest actors.
