Awhile ago I picked out my favorite chick movies to watch and review, but being the the only girl living in boyland, I get to watch a lot more Dude Movies than Chick Flicks 😉 I thought it would be fun to share and review a few of my favorite Dude Movies. Some are scary, one is funny,and one is Thade’s very favorite 🙂

First off is an awesome suggestion from my brother Rob 🙂 Rob told me that he wanted a movie called Sunshine starring Cillian Murphy for his birthday, so I checked out the trailer online and I couldn’t wait to see this movie. It is a story of 8 Scientists sent to space with the hopes of re-starting our dying Sun, the trailer was absolutely chilling. I ordered one dvd for Rob and one for James too. Early warning this is one scary movie, but it is also an incredibly sad film. It is directed by Danny Boyle who has directed a few of my other favorite movies: Trainspotting and 28 Days Later, and he did an amazing job with Sunshine! I highly recommend this one, if you like your movies on the scary side, but this one is NOT FOR KIDS!!!

Secondly we have one of my favorites that I can watch one thousand times, Shaun of the Dead. This one is a little scary, but a completely hilarious zombie flick. It stars Simon Pegg as the slacker Shaun who is trying to save the world from zombies, and it is really funny, even the zombies are funny. If you watch Shaun of the Dead go on ahead and rent Hot Fuzz (also awesome) and have a Simon Pegg movie night.

Lastly we have Thade’s favorite movie Transformers directed by Michael Bay starring Shia LaBeouf. At first I didn’t know what to think about this one, I didn’t know too much about Transformers, but after seeing the first Decepticon transformation I was sold! This is one high energy, amazingly filmed, seamless CGI movie. Watching the Autobots and Decepticons transform will blow you away, and make you wish that you watched the Transformers animated series in the 80s! I really loved this film, which is good because it is on loop in Thade’s room.

Do you have a favorite Dude Movie to share?
