Here are, but a few, choices for my really bad love story addictions. These are the films that everybody hates to love, but can’t get enough of. What more do you need, the woman gets the hot guy in the end and everybody saves everybody. For your single Valentine’s Day viewing pleasure, put down the revolver and pick up the remote.

Hey folks, it’s that time again where we worship a naked baby archer and give the gift of fattening chocolate treats! We’re just one week away from Valentine’s Day so I’ve scrounged through RazorFine’s backlog to offer you up Valentine’s Day themed posts all week.

The year was 2002 and the 20th Bond film Die Another Day was a hit at theaters 40 years after Bond first picked up his Walther PPK in Dr. No.
