I don't re-watch a lot of movies these days. I don't have a ton of time for it, I'd usually rather check out something I haven't seen before. But I do have a huge DVD collection for a reason, I usually buy anything that I think will be worth visiting again. I find that I can usually enjoy a movie more the 2nd time around, I'm not focused so much on story, I can take in the filmmaking more, appreciate the details. We finally invested in a widescreen TV, so I thought it'd be worth it to see some recent favorites again.

Black Sheep - This movie absolutely cracks me up. I still think it's the best horromedy since Shaun of the Dead. A friend of mine was visiting that hadn't yet experienced the magic.

Cashback - Same friend was over, we wanted something funny. Our significant others were off watching the Sex and the City movie, so I figured we could watch a dude movie and check out some fine naked women, while also enjoying a good film.

Into The Wild - The first movie we watched after getting the new TV. My wife hadn't seen it yet and wanted to watch something with beautiful photography, this fit the bill.

The Simpsons Movie - This was actually the 3rd time I'd seen this film, an extreme rarity outside of the movies my son watches over and over again. My wife hadn't seen it, we wanted something brainless before bed.

Juno - Both my wife and I saw this in the theater, but we felt like revisiting it. The over-the-top quirkiness didn't bother me as much this time around, I guess I've grown used to it, from seeing parts of it all over the place.

I saw this trailer and instantly knew I had to see the film. I could just tell it would be my-kind-of-movie; a little offbeat, funny, sexy and beautiful to watch. It took a while for the DVD to clear my queue, but it was well worth the wait.

Cashback is absolutely gorgeous from top to bottom. The photography is top-notch, the sets are beautiful, and the girls, and there are many, most of them nude, are just breathtaking. Guys will love this movie just for the perfect tits that fill this film; and I wouldn't have complained if that was the only thing in this film. But I genuinely enjoyed the many memorable characters, the well written screenplay and the inovative filmmaking. There are some wonderful little moments throughout the film, that only a filmmaker or film-buffs may catch. Is it a little pretentious? Yes. But I think good films by beginning filmmakers usually are. Because they're filled with what the filmmaker knows best, what they're comfortable with, so usually end up being about the director in some way.

It may be a little hard to find, but if you're interested in well made, off-the-beaten-path cinema, or even if you just want to watch some beautiful girls in varying states of undress, do yourself a favor and check out this film.
