So it’s Valentine’s Day. The first commercially created corporate holiday that demands you purchase goods of flowers, candy, cards and chocolates to prove your love for your significant other. But this year Valentine’s falls upon a Monday of a brand new week, so in true lazyman fashion, they’ll be a lot more couples making themselves a fancy dinner and plopping their butts in front of the tube for a nice, romantic movie. And it’s the one day a year where as a guy you really can’t object if your lady wants to go in the route of the dreaded “Chick Flick.” But instead of imagining a two hour death sentence, there are actually a handful of chick flicks out there that, dare I say, do not suck. If you choose carefully, you might get away with not only pleasing your missus, but not being completely bored and shouting “Are you fucking kidding me – that would never happen!”

Los Angeles, CA (AP) The big news out of Hollywood this morning are reports that the owners of the Sex in the City franchise are in the beginning stages of producing a prequel to the wildly successful television show and movies. The plot supposedly has us being introduced to a younger version of Carrie when she first moves to NYC. It's not so shocking that the producers are attempting to draw the last few remaining drops of blood from this estrogen filled stone, but what is shocking is the announcement that the prequel will be directed by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame. The Lord of the Rings was set to produce its own prequel movie, and in an unprecedented move, Jackson will attempt to release the film as a blockbuster combination prequel, something that has never been seen in the industry before.
"It was a no-brainer once we realized how easily we could use the CGI Golum to play the young Carrie Bradshaw", said Jackson. "The remarkable similarities between the facial features, expressions and unhealthy desire for material objects fit so perfectly that it would have almost been more crazy not to do it"
