Will Cook for Sex: A Guy's Guide to Cooking
$24.95
When I decided I wanted to learn how to cook to help me, not just eat healthier, but impress the woman I am dating, I searched out books and found this one. I think it was a good start to my cooking education. The recipes aren't too "out there" and difficult to put together. The text isn't insulting in any way. (I saw other cookbooks that really play up how inept men are in the kitchen. It's funny for the first couple of pages, but not so much when repeated.) I wasn't able to pick out three recipes from this book and, I think, master them quite quickly. I wish they would do a follow-up. And did my cooking impress my girl? I think my effort was more attractive to her than the actual food. :) I'm working on improving that!

Employee of the Month
$2.99
Meant to be a feel good, nice, nice, nice comedy, it oozes with cuteness and it should really improve the public image of employers such as B.J.'s, Sam's Club and CostCo. It's THAT cute. It's a heartwarming and, indeed, therapeutic viewing experience, watching these young, super-dedicated employees, competing for the employee of the month designation - and the winner gets the car and he could get the girl too.

There is no violence, there is lots of friendship and team work all-over, because both the good guys and the bad guys are team players. The bosses are a little bit demanding but fair and the few illegalities or immoral activities are so mild, they should make us laugh rather than outrage us. In the end, the good guy wins, of course and the not so good guy is humiliated and properly but not severely punished. We are led to believe that all the personal dramas the good guys were experiencing are solved or on their path toward solving and some of those who did not fall asleep or did not walk away might end the viewing with a little smile on their faces.

This shouldn't be on anyone's must-have movies shopping list but those interested to see what might be going behind the scenes inside those mysterious big-box shopping clubs that charge members annual fees for the privilege of being allowed to buy super-family-sized snack boxes and a discount may find the viewing experience tolerable.

My Best Friend's Girl (Unrated )
$19.98
I would have liked this movie a lot more had it not been for Jason Biggs. Its not that I have anything against him, its just that everytime I see him, all I see is Jim Levenstein, or the 'Pie f*****' from American Pie. He really is not that good an actor. Dane Cook, on the other hand, is hillarious! If you are a Dane Cook fan, then there is no reason why you shouldn't buy this move. if you however do not like Dane Cook, then this movie doesn't have a lot to offer you, as it is Dane who provides all the genuine laughs. Wasn't a great deal of chemistry between him and Kate Hudson, either accidentally or on purpose, she seemed a bit out of place in this movie. A couple of funny moments are lent by co stars Lizzy Caplan, and probably the biggest laugh of the movie from Alec Baldwin, in a scene with him and Dane Cook. Biggs actually does provide a good commentary track for the special features, and also includes 4 good featurettes. Buy it if you liked 'Good Luck Chuck'.
