Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005)
About: After Cheryl Frasier and Stan Fields are kidnapped, Gracie goes undercover in Las Vegas to find them.
My Thoughts: Preferred the first and was originally annoyed that they broke up in this film but I didn't like them that much in the first film anyway. Apparently Sandra wanted this to be a buddy film instead of a rom-com and actually it made a nice change. I wish we had more (non rom) buddy films with women. As much as I love rom-coms there is such a thing as too much and a female BFF can be as important (if not more important) than a boyfriend/ girlfriend. This film was pretty hilarious and I loved the new chick. A fun watch.

21 Jump Street (2012)
About: A pair of underachieving cops are sent back to a local high school to blend in and bring down a synthetic drug ring.
My Thoughts: Started off hilarious, pretty much stayed that way till about the last half or third then it just became ridiculous. Bad ridiculous. Tatum needs to do more comedies though, I love him in comedies.

Flashdance (1983)
About: A Pittsburgh woman with two jobs as a welder and an exotic dancer wants to get into ballet school.
My Thoughts: Hated it. Hated 90% of the dancing as it didn't seem to go with the music (not that I know much about dancing). Dance at the end was awesome though.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)
About: Danny Ocean and his eleven accomplices plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously.
My Thoughts: Watching cause I noticed Scott Caan (from Hawaii Five-0) is in it. Also an awesome film. I love shows like Leverage and The A-Teamwhich this is similar to. Also lots of my fave actors. Clever and funny film. Plus eye candy.

Ocean’s Twelve (2004)
About: Daniel Ocean recruits one more team member so he can pull off three major European heists in this sequel to Ocean's 11.
My Thoughts: Just realized Ocean's Eleve was my 111th, Twelve my 112th and next is Thirteen for 113th. What are the chances. Anywho pretty much the same thoughts as for Eleven although as sequels usually go, not as great as the first. Although the running gag about Julia Roberts always makes me laugh.
