OMG How Did I Miss This? A Female Spy Movie You Have To See- #HiddenGems and Other #Funny #Surprises

I'm feeling a love/hate sort of thing right now.  I love finding movie gems on cable that I skipped at the theater.  However at the same time, I hate the fact these amazing movies missed the mark when they were being advertised.  As a result, I along with many other potential audiences missed it.

Fortunately for me, I saw it and cable and got to see this amazingly funny movie!

My first pick is Spy (2015) starring Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, Jason Statham and Jude Law.

This movie is fucking hilarious-- and the word 'fuck' and its various combinations are about as numerous as the action and excellent jokes inside this is an excellent movie!

The film follows the transformation of desk-bound CIA analyst Susan Cooper (McCarthy) into a field agent who attempts to foil the black market sale of a suitcase nuke.

According to the Wikipedia article where I got the blurb for this movie, it also states that Spy did well at the box office and received critical acclaim.  

I think this movie should have blown up the box office because it is that good.  However my post is not a review but more of a showcase of the movie's funny banter and excellent wit.  

Here are a few samples....

Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy- the bumbling yet surprisingly resourceful and gritty CIA agent): And here’s to you. I mean you may never be as wise as an owl, but you’ll always be a hoot to me.

Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne- the snooty Bulgarian arms dealer): What a stupid fucking retarded toast. You’re delightful.

Susan Cooper: As are you.

----

Rayna Boyanov: Why would my father hire somebody like you?

Susan Cooper: Because he trusted me. And for whatever fucking reason, he loved you. Didn’t even want you to know I was watching you. So he was the one that made me come up with this whole loser Penny Morgan bullshit. Yeah, “Oh, you look just like my dead mama.” And fuck you for saying I look anything like that fucking beast. No wonder your father never had the son he wanted. You fuck that monster once and you just drop the fucking mic and walk out.

---

Susan Cooper: Maybe I should be married to one of the dolls just to make it extra sad. "Ten cats"—wh—why do I have "ten cats"? Is that even legal… Just missing a shirt that says I've never felt the touch of a man.

----

Those are some of the gems you will find in this movie.  Spy is a hilarious parody of the Bond movies and all of its clones. Though it's ad campaign left a lot to be desired, yeah I actively avoided the movie because of it. Fortunately, I'd forgotten about the whole thing when I decided to finally watch it.

I tell you I was not disappointed and it has a kick-ass opening song to boot!

Check it out. It's on cable/satellite now as well as being available on DVD.

A Bit of Sensual Fun With-- The Brain Exchange by Robin Glasser. A Fun Look At What Happens When A Self Obsessed Male Fitness Guru Switches Mind With A Not So Sexy Woman.

If you could walk in someone else's shoes, would they fit? 

This is the line I wrote for The Brain Exchange to attract a publisher or agent. Haven't you ever wondered what it would be like to be somebody else? Whether a celebrity, a bestselling author, a hitchhiker to the galaxy, or even your own best friend? Isn't it human nature to want something you don't have? In my case, I desired to experience being a man for, well let's say, several days, perhaps a week, maybe months! 

Don't get me wrong, I adore being a woman but (isn't there always a but) I want to know what a man feels, especially in the throes of passion. Is his orgasm as powerful as mine even though I can have multiples? How does it really feel to carry around all those dangly bits? What does the world look like from a manly point of view?

All these questions needed answers, which is why I wrote The Brain Exchange. Based on a screenplay, called Transformation I'd scribbled many moons ago when I was busily crafting both TV and film scripts, I actually flew to Hollywood to pitch my idea. 

Having no uncle, cousin, aunt, sibling or any nepotistic contacts in show biz, I transformed my big movie idea into a book. An avid reader myself, I pay homage to some of my favorite authors by slightly changing the spelling of their characters’ names—example: Jax Reecher is a takeoff on Lee Child’s hero, Jack Reacher. 


The following is a taste of what you'll find between the covers of The Brain Exchange:

Sexy celeb Damien Crest says: “In a world of ten billion people, instead of jetting off to vacay in an exotic locale, why not take a trip in someone else’s body? The Brain Exchange is the only place to go for the ultimate getaway. Book a break from your body today!” 

Captivated by this commercial, Amana and Steel, both single and dissatisfied with life, decide this is exactly the jolt they need to jumpstart their hamster-wheeling existences. Horny, misogynistic, fitness freak Steel—employed at Crapshoot Dating Service yet has no luck with the ladies—wants to Exchange with Damien Crest, who has no trouble keeping his wicket sticky. 

Sweet as the black-market candy she hoards, Amana, a taster for GLOP (GLobal Organic Protein), only wants to Exchange her ample girth for a much slimmer model. A savvy Brain Exchange exec tells her the wait-list for that is eons long—selling Amana on the idea of experiencing life as a man. Due to a major mix-up, Amana awakens in Steel’s six-pack shape. But, instead of the action hero he’d selected, Steel finds himself buried inside layers and layers and layers of flesh belonging to a…woman! 

What follows is a ten-year odyssey that changes them dramatically—will it be for better or worse?
