9. Kissing A Fool
10. Sorority Row (2009)
I had some issues getting connected to the internet this morning so I figured I'd squeeze in some movies while waiting for Verizon to get their shit together and fix my connection. Here's what I watched...
Kissing A Fool stars Jason Lee, David Scwhimmer and Mili Avital as the inhabitants of a love triangle. Schwimmer and Lee have been best friends since childhood. Schwimmer is a sportscaster and Lee is a writer. Avital is Lee's editor. Lee decides to set Schwimmer and Avital up despite the fact that he is already developing feelings for her himself. This is a decent enough flick. It's nothing spectacular. It's the type of movie that you can see once and be all set with. Once you know how it ends, it's really not worth re-watching honestly. This came out in 1998 at the height of Friends-mania so it is interesting to watch Schwimmer playing a character that is essentially the complete opposite of his character on the show. I'm a pretty big Jason Lee fan thanks to his work in the Kevin Smith movies. He's pretty solid here, as always.
Sorority Row (2009) is a remake of the 1983 film The House on Sorority Row. Lots of eye candy here with Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Leah Pipes, Margo Harshman and Audrina Partridge starring. The story here has been done countless times in the past. What starts off as a harmless prank winds up leading to a death and a terrible decision to try and cover it up. This movie would have fared a lot better at the box office back in the late 90s when everyone who was on a WB or UPN show was popping up in horror flicks and making big money doing so. This one hit about 10 years too late for that trend. I wanted to catch it at the theater and it was in and out in the blink of an eye with a total domestic gross of under $12 million. Overall, the movie was just alright. I'm a huge fan of the slasher sub-genre and this one is just your typical slasher flick consisting of good looking people getting undressed and good looking people dying in fairly gruesome ways. Nothing worth screaming about.
If you're interested in seeing it, Sorority Row hits Blu-ray and dvd on February 23rd.

I still really want to see "Sorority Row." The original is one of my favorite slashers, even though it's pretty terrible.
I've never seen the original. I intend to check it out one of these days though.
