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:



Yes Man
Sure, it's odd to call a Jim Carrey movie a "chick flick," but this lightweight romantic comedy is more My Best Friend's Wedding than Ace Ventura. But it's not bad—the premise is a bit hokey, but Carrey manages to be funny and likable throughout. And no one can touch Zooey Deschanel in the cuteness department, not that we recommend mentioning that while you and your girl are watching the movie. Nothing spoils the mood like implying you'd rather be with the girl on the screen.


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:



No Country For Old Men
Recently released in a stellar Blu-Ray package, this is a guy movie through and through (lawmen, cowboys, killers, drugs), but one with enough style and substance to keep her engaged. Hell, it didn't win all those Oscars for nothing. Plus, this gives you a chance to wax poetic on the films of the Coen Brothers—pretending you actually like Miller's Crossing more than Raising Arizona. Liar.  


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:



Slaughter High
Released as part of Lionsgate's "Lost Collection" (a mind-bogglingly cool slate of "oh, yeah, I remember those" '80s cable classics like Irreconcilable Differences, My Best Friend is a Vampire, The Night Before, Homer & Eddie, Morgan Stewart's Coming Home, Hiding Out, and Repossessed), Slaughter High is one of those goofy-as-hell horror comedies that are unquestionably bad, but also undeniably entertaining. Pop this in and you'll instantly be transported back to a time when catching a nude boob on Cinemax made your month.
