Comedy with Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling, Julliane Moore, Emma Stone,.... and others (Kevin Bacon, Josh Groban,...)! Don't want to give away too much. Will say... this is a definite first date movie! Do go see this one when you get a chance. For more details on the storyline, checkout the link to IMDB.
Web log that provides periodic reviews of movies using a new rating system in 2024. Formerly, movies were rated as a "first-date" movie and/or "first-rate movie rental". In 2022 and 2023, we rated movies on a Beer basis. See details in the sidebar below. Beginning 2024, we now use a simpler rating system - Thumbs Up/Down!

"Dance Flick"
... spoof of dance movies brought to you by the Wayans Brothers. Funny moments that poke fun at a number of dance movies. Consider it light-hearted humor that will have some laughing and other cringing at the sexual/racial innuendos... but that is the norm from a Wayans' movie.
Hold as a first date movie.... but if you like the Wayans Brothers and the "In Living Color" humor, then do check it out!
"Sniper Reloaded"
... another movie in the Sniper Franchise. Billy Zane is back as the experienced "spook". This time he is there to help Master Gunnery Sergeant Beckett's son who is a Marine Sergeant stationed in the Congo on a UN peace-keeping mission. Somehow there is a run in with a rogue sniper that kills Sergeant Beckett's squad, setting the plot for a showdown later!
Hold as a first date movie. Consider it a "B" Movie and don't expose a potential long-term relationship to this movie, else risk a second date that will never happen.
"Harry Potter" - Final Episode...
Final episode in the Harry Potter Franchise.... if you are a fan and your potential significant other is one also, then fine for a first date movie. Else, stray away and choose a different movie.

"Beastly"
Modernized version of "Beauty and the Beast" story with Vanessa Hudgens as the Beauty and Alex Petyfer as the Beast. Alex is a handsome High School "In Crowd" guy who is cursed by a "Witch" played by one of the Olson Twins! Vanessa is the Beauty who can break the curse.
Not a bad movie, liked how they made modernized it. Safe first date movie!

"Season of the Witch"
... movie with Nicholas Cage as a Crusader who rescinds his vow to fight heresy after killing a women and children. Somehow he is pulled into a mission to save the world from the Black Plague brought on by Satan. Good storyline, just missing something to make it hit.... regardless, not a bad one to rent. Won't rate it as a first date movie but will suggest to watch it on a rainy day when nothing else is available.

"No Strings Attached"
Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman in a movie about "friends with benefits". Only problem, they fall for one another. Not a bad movie... ending was expected. Would hold on choosing as a first date movie. Else, not a bad one to rent for a rainy day.
