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:

Confessions of a Shopaholic
First, we have a confession. This movie is shit. Really. Even by low rom-com standards. But the recent crop of chick flicks on DVD has been as barren as Meg Ryan's job prospects, so we don't have much to choose from. Your girl will probably want to see this, and that's actually a good thing—afterwards, even she'll be hard-pressed to find anything good in it and will probably be a little more wary of such movies in the future. If she does like it, you have an excuse for dumping her.

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:

Waltz With Bashir
War movies aren't usually her bag, but Bashir is far from your typical war movie. Like Persepolis, it uses animation to tackle a very real-world story (the First Lebanon War) with poignant and often surreal imagery. It's not a feel-good movie, but she'll appreciate seeing a war movie that doesn't end with Arnold blowing up a Predator.

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:

Fired Up
Oh, why not? It's not like you didn't watch (and enjoy) Bring it On. Now you can basically watch the same movie, but from the POV of a horndog like yourself. Fired Up isn't great, but, hey, it's got a few chuckles and lots of incredibly hot women. What better way to lull yourself to sleep?
