This week’s movie is being reviewed by none other than G! WOOT WOOT!

So here ya have it ladies (and some gents):

***********
“Don’t stop the fight. Where ever you go, Verena, don’t give up! I’m counting on you!” I don’t think anyone could have said it better than Miss McVane. Although, my favourite quote from the entire movie is that oh so priceless “Up your ziggy with a wah wah brush.” Sadly, that does not exactly capture the essence of the movie too well, but it’s funny! Say it to someone some time. All you have to do is go up to the person and be like, “*insert name here*, up your ziggy with a wah wah brush!” Then run like hell in the opposite direction. No? OK. But do it.

Yes, so, back to the actual movie…Hmm. See, I have this kind of thing with movie reviews. I like to read one, but still be able to watch the movie and not know everything that’s going to happen. No, that is not an excuse to be lazy and slack on the review. Those of you you have seen Strike, I applaud you and suggest you go watch it again, just because. Those of you who haven’t seen it, (hopefully it’s still not a large number of you ) go see it! It’s one heck of a girl power movie. Set in 1963 at Miss Godard’s School for Girls, Strike follows the antics of five of the students and their attempts to stop the merger of their school with St. Ambrose, an all boys school, while along the way, dealing with their own struggles . Whether they be with sex, self-image, friendship, or fighting for more from their life, the total perv male teacher and going against the status quo to just be themselves. So grab your canned ravioli, take off the little white gloves and…Enjoy the movie!

I give this movie three out of four cans of ravioli. The girls had backbone (standing up to the perverted male teacher/school monitors/the major protest at the end), they had wit (which was delivered perfectly by the ladies), the pranks were amazingly devious(ipecac during a choir concert to name one) and the movie had a perfect balance between serious issues and humour. The girls were tough, yet still had vulnerable sides (weight issues, afraid of boys, boy crazy, etc) and they were realistic. I could easily associate each of the girls with a lot of my female friends and I didn’t even have to think about it. That’s something that can rarely be said by me and probably a lot of you ladies in regards to characters that are teenage girls. Especially with the unrealistic way some teens are portrayed these days * cough * you know which shows I’m talking about * cough *. Last, but certainly not least, the one-liners are genius. They should be hung over a mantle, or bronzed, or something. Oh, so good.

I’m not really sure why the rating was made with cans of ravioli….but it made me hungry. So… Imma go make me some Chef Boyardee and sit down to watch this movie after G totally convinced me, what about you peeps? =]

Tell us what you thought of the movie! Or…. tell me what the heck a wah wah brush is O_O

Big thanks to G for stepping up to the plate on this movie! Anyone have any suggestions for the next movie and review? Let us know!
