Weekend Roundup with Richie Deschamps!

Greetings fans! Richie Deschamps here wishing you a Happy Friday! That's right, I go by Richie now. My mom called me Richie this morning and I thought it sounded rather sharp. Anyway, in the tradition of Friday, I thought I'd give my fans a rundown of the movies I'm going to be watching this weekend. Keep in mind, my allowance only allows me to see one movie in the theaters per weekend, the rest will come from my excellent collection of iPod videos! Without further ado...

1) Friday (1992) - Seriously guys, this flick is one of my favorites. I watch it just about every Friday after my shift is over at Dairy Queen. Sometimes I'll even watch it after lacrosse practice on Thursday because I'm so excited that it's almost Friday! The film is about rapper Ice T's adventures in a San Francisco "hood" with his friend and drug dealer Pokey (Chris Rock, left). Rock provides some of the film's best laughs, including the now classic lines, "You just got beat the f*ck up!" ... and a couple others I vaguely remember. Be sure to check out the equally amazing soundtrack including Ice T's own "Cop Murderer," Snoop Dogg's "Gin & Tonic," and of course, N.W.A's "Screw Tha Police!"

2) Fantastic Fours - Revenge of the Silver Surfer (2006) - I know what my fans out there are going to say. This movie is "too dark" for their taste. Well fellows, every now and then you want to enjoy a movie that's not targeted towards 12-year old boys, okay? From what I understand, the Fantastic Fours battle the notorious Silver Surfer and Galactica in an action-packed thrill ride from start to finish. All the Fantastic Fours from the original movie reprise their roles, even Michael Chicklet despite his busy shooting schedule on Showtime's The Wire. Well, my friend and sidekick here at Weakey, Chaz B., watched this last weekend and he just loved it. I'm sure I will too!

3) B-Movie (2007) - If there's any movie I'm gonna pay full price to see in the theater, it's this animated flick from funny-man Jerry Seinfeld. You may remember Seinfeld from TV's Everyone Loves Raymond in the late 80's. From what I understand, B-Movie follows the misadventures of a bee named Larry (quite possibly a reference to Larry David, star of Showtime's Curb Your Excitement), as he falls in love with a female bee played by Rene Zellweggerz. Hilarity ensues when Larry decides that humans shouldn't be getting honey for free, and takes them to court for years and years of theft. Sounds like comedy gold to me! Or should I say, comedy honey?

Well folks, my hands are tired from typing, but if you're into it, perhaps you could watch these 3 films and we can share our thoughts. I'm gonna be at my grandma's this weekend, but hopefully her IBM 486 is running!

Deschamps...out!!!

Rog.. I mean Richie. Just wanted to correct you on a couple things. Friday was released in 1992, not 1993 as you stated above. Everybody Love Roman was an 80's sitcom, and B-Movie was just released this year (2007 richie baby!!!) not 2006 as you clearly indicated above.
