NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE (2001)

I wasn't expect it to be, but NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE is funny as fuck.  I laughed so hard I actually had to rewind it a bunch of time to catch the stuff I missed.  What's even stranger is even though it's 12 years old, it's barely even dated.  Most of the jokes are still funny and the various cultural references are still relevant.  Bizarre.

Two of the coolest kids at John Hughes High School make a bet that the one, Jake, can't turn the biggest "shitbomb" in school into the prom queen.  Difficulty level: even though she's obviously extremely hot she hides it beneath glasses, a ponytail and wears overalls with paint speckles on it.  That's the main story, but there's tons of other things going on.  Nerds trying to get laid, football player haunted by past memories, the prom, sister wanting to bang brother, The most Beautiful Thing I've Ever Seen, naked chicks, tons of smaller jokes, Lacey Chabert as a girl who's so hot that people freeze in place whenever she's around, an blind albino hippie chick that plays guitar, cheerleaders who bring it.

Honestly, the only two things that I would change about the film (besides more nudity) would be to remove those terrible cover songs and replace them with the originals.  Does anybody really want to hear Good Charlotte doing "If You Leave"?

WARGAMES (1983)

You remember WARGAMES.  It's the one about the high school computer nerd who breaks into a government supercomputer thinking that it's a video game company and inadvertently nearly starts WWIII.  I'm pretty sure the chances of something like this playing out in real life are about zero point zero, but it's still a fun movie.  Watching it now, it's dated as hell, but looking at all those ancient ass computers just adds to the charm of the film.

Uhh, well. I'm not sure what else to say.  Topless Matthew Broderick, quick pace, entire population of Earth hinged on a computer learning a lesson, attractive Ally Sheedy, nerds yelling, hotwiring a payphone, Galaga, Global Thermonuclear War, military general versus computer nerds, 80's fashions, DEFCON 1, a gigantic door, uncooked corn. 

I'm sure by this point in your life you've already seen WARGAMES, but if not you should check it out.  Simple, but fun movie.
