So you're gearing up for a weekend spent in the dark with your girl - before you load up that NetFlix queue or get online at Blockbuster, you need to have a solid, foolproof game plan.

That's where we come in.

Allow us to present our weekly DVD-siac Movie Three-Pack, a collection of recent releases and old favorites that we guarantee will get you lucky this weekend, in one way or another.

THE CHICK FLICK YOU CAN TOLERATE
Plan A: Show your sensitive side…within reason. Grab a "chick flick" that at least has some redeeming value so that you can stay awake along enough for her to reward your gallant show of sensitivity. This week, we recommend:



Vicky Cristina Barcelona
It may not be Woody Allen's best work, but VCB at least makes the effort to have an atypical romantic comedy plot and non-cliche characters. Plus, it's front-loaded with three of the most gorgeous women in movies (Scarlett Johansson, Penélope Cruz, and Rebecca Hall…hell, throw in Patricia Clarkson, too). It'll remind your girlfriend about that time you sang to her under a fountain in Oviedo while the sun gently dipped behind red-tiled rooftops and those local children put flowers in her hair. No? Well, it'll at least remind her of that time you went dutch on a dinner at Chili's.

THE GUY FLICK SHE CAN TOLERATE
Plan B: She has a headache, she has to get up early, her football injury is acting up - in short, you're looking at a dry night ahead. But, hey, you still want to spend some time together, so forgo the romance and put something that leans a little more on the "guy" side without leaving her in the cold. This week, we recommend:



RocknRolla
Guy Ritchie's return to London gangster life may be violent and filled with foul-mouthed, drug-abusing, light-fingered lads, but it's also slick, stylish, and funny enough to hold her attention, too. None of the guys get to posture too much without being taken down a peg (yes, even Gerard Butler) and Thandie Newton gets to play a too-smart-for-her-own good femme fatale without ever having to become a third-reel damsel in distress. It's a good laugh for both of you, just don't make any cracks about Ritchie and Madge. You don't want to have to pick sides in that battle.

YOUR MOVIE
Plan C: That yawn means, "I'm getting some beauty rest, so why don't you put that diving rod of yours on ice and watch something without me?" The downside: No sex. The upside: You can watch the movie you really wanted to watch, her feelings or interest level be damned. This week, we recommend:



Universal Soldier
Sometimes, two movie titans come together on screen and the results are magic. Pacino/DeNiro in Heat. Redford/Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Godzilla/King Kong in Godzilla vs. King Kong. Add to that list this recently released on Blu-Ray gem, which pits the Muscles from Brussels Jean-Claude Van Damme against the Bigger Muscles from Stockholm Dolph Lundgren. With your better half safely tucked away, you can indulge your lust for cyborg carnage and action movie cheese all night long. What else can you say about a movie that rips off RoboCop and The Terminator in equal measure besides, "Why am I not watching that right now?"
