Give it up for Craig and Ryan, the winners of last week's Movie Quiz! Both of them had 8 out of 10 correct answers, earning them an iTune of their choice. (Kinda funny - both Craig and Ryan had the same correct answers and guessed the same movie for one they didn't know! Great minds and all that...)
Here are the answers from last week's quiz:
1. Mystery Men
2. The Sandlot
3. Sixteen Candles
4. Good Will Hunting
5. Baseketball
6. Spy Game
7. The Waterboy
8. An American Werewolf in London
9. Diner
10. It's Pat The Movie (both Ryan and Craig guessed Hairspray)
From our DVD collection, here's this week's quiz... I give you a little blurb from the back of the DVD case, you tell me the movie. This week, 6 out of 10 or better gets you an iTune...answers to comments or email, you know the drill. Good luck!
1. It's 1781 and Antonio Salieri is the competent court composer to Emperor Joseph II.
2. The plan was flawless. The execution was perfect. Charlie Croker pulled off the crime of a lifetime. The one thing that he didn't plan on was being double-crossed. Now he wants more than the job's payoff...he wants payback.
3. Restored to life after sustaining mortal wounds, [the sexiest action hero ever] now lives only for death as the world's most lethal assasin. But her latest assignment will force her to make a fateful decision in the ultimate battle between good and evil!
4. The touching story of a boy born without an immune system, Todd Lubich is forced to spend his life confined inside a germ-free environment.
5. When a blackout knocks out an elevator in a college girl's dorm, Matthew and a mystery girl connect carnally and emotionally. But he's left in the dark as to her true identity. He's got 100 suspects, and a slew of hilarious schemes to worm his way into the hearts and panty drawers of each and every one of them!
6. Shane Falco is a washed-out All-American QB who guides a team of misfits assembled by veteran coach Jimmy McGinty to replace striking pro players. A motor-mouth receiver, a merciless linebacker, a nicotine-wired kicker and more line up alongside Falco for a drive to the playoffs.
7. This is the story of Billy Pilgrim, who is ordinary in almost every respect but one: he has come unstuck in time and jumps back and forth in his life with no control over where he is going next. And so it goes, from past, to present, to future, until Billy finally realizes that in order for him to survive even to his death, which, again, jumping around in time, he watches in Philadelphia, he must concentrate on the good things and ignore the bad in life.
8. Two ne'er-do-well traveling salesmen hit the road in order to save the family business in this 'infectiously funny'*, larger-than-life movie. *Gary Arnold, The Washington Times
9. Born into a world filled with prejudice are children who possess extraordinary and dangerous powers - the result of unique genetic mutations...These and other outcasts learn to harness their powers for the good of mankind.
10. In 1940's Indiana, nine-year-old Ralphie dreams of his ideal Christmas gift.
Seriously, who writes these? Check out number 7. Could that last sentence be more awkward? And number 8...who bothers to give credit for the phrase 'infectiously funny'? Someone tell me how I can get a job writing DVD-case summaries. I guarantee an equally shitty product!
Now I have to go put the DVD cases away from last week's quiz before our entire DVD collection ends up piled on the kitchen table.
