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:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
It's a star-crossed romance light on plot but heavy on meaningful glances, the kind of movie sure to make her feel appropriately swoony. But what about you? Well, as crafted by David Fincher, Button has amazing special effects and a visual sweep that'll at least keep your eyes engaged. Plus—it runs nearly three hours long, so you don't have to be worried about planning anything else for the evening.

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:

Taken
Yes, this is one of the most underratedly badass movies of the year and, frankly, in quite a long time. But don't try and sell her on that. Instead, play up the fact that Liam Neeson's trained killer is, at heart, a concerned father trying to do right by his daughter. Yeah, that'll do the trick much better than saying "Neeson snaps more bones than Frank Purdue."

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:

My Bloody Valentine: 3-D
You've missed your chance for a tangible encounter, so you'll have to settle for 3-D. You haven't had to duck an axe in your living room since last Christmas dinner, so buckle up and get ready for a gimmicky good time. Home 3-D may still lag behind theater 3-D, but Blu-Ray is quickly closing that gap.
