Top 3 Guilty Movie Pleasures

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whenever it is you've come to find my blog.  Today I'm going to talk about my top 3 movie guilty pleasures.  You know the movies I'm talking about. Ones that you know aren't "good" but you enjoy them anyway.  Movies that most people couldn't believe that you like and enjoy.

1.  Good Burger

This movie makes me laugh ANYTIME I've watched it.  If I see this movie on TV I will stop, I will watch and I will laugh.  "Two dim-witted teenagers are forced to save the fast food restaurant they work at from going out of business, despite a new-and-improved burger joint opening across the street that want to be the "Top Dog" in the fast food industry."  Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson are amazing together and have great chemistry.  Throw in Abe Vigoda and Linda Cardellini along with the rest of the cast you've got a very funny movie.  My favorite part is when they are dancing in the asylum personally.  

Kangaroo Jack would be proud of you!

2.  Scooby Doo

I had a hard time not putting this at number 1.  This movie is SO bad it is good.  Once again Linda Cardellini is in this flick along with Matthew Lillard, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar. And of course everyones favorite talking dog Scooby.  Who by the way looks AWFUL in this flick. Yet it cracks me up every time.  As bad as it is they did a good job of doing all the usual stuff you'd see in the cartoon.  Secret passages.  Over eating.  Silly disguises.  Losing of the glasses.  All of it and I laugh along the entire time!  Matthew Lillard as Shaggy was PERFECT!  I am one of the few people who enjoy his work on things like Hackers and Scream.  Overall not a good movie but I love it and another flick I'll stop and watch EVERY TIME

Some would say this move was nightmare inducing, and this gif shows it might be right

3.  Hudson Hawk

I had a had time picking a third flick here.  I watch so many bad movies and movies people don't like that I wasn't sure.  I mean you have One Eyed Monster, Rubber, Birdemic, Any of the Ernest flicks, Dragnet, several Nicky Cage flicks to name a few.  But then I remembers Hudson Hawk.  "A cat burglar is forced to steal Da Vinci works of art for a world domination plot."  Reading that you think 'okay kind of goofy but that doesn't sound bad.'  What they fail to mention is that Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello are the cat burglars...who sing songs to time their crimes.  Yep.  They sing as they are robbing places...and it is WONDERFUL!  Throw in an amazing supporting cast, including James Coburn, Richard E. Grant and Sandra Bernhard and you've got a fun silly horrible flick that I could watch on repeat!

What Bruce Willis did to the critics of this flick

There you go, three guilty pleasures that I am ashamed to admit I like but I love!  Seriously all three of these movies make me laugh just thinking about them and isn't that the point of films?  Enjoyment?  Until next time....abyssinia!

My feeling when someone says bad things about my guilty pleasures

Movie remakes and pre/sequels

As many of you know I am sort of a movie buff. I will watch almost any movie. Almost. Things like Titanic, the Stephanie Meyers Twilight series are among the movies that I won't EVER see. NEVER! Anyway I have been messing around on IMDB, one of the coolest websites ever, and I have found a few movies being remade or getting sequels that probably didn't need it.

Flowers for Algernon. It didn't deserve the FIRST movie let alone a remake starring Will Smith. I don't think I need to really say anything else. But you'll notice ALOT of Will Smith movies on this list.

ID4 2 and 3. Yes Independence day is getting not just one but two sequels. Now let me say I actually like the first movie. I'm probably in the minority but like the film. Its a good stupid summer movie. It has Adam Baldwin who has become one of my favorite actors. Also I'm slightly ashamed to admit it but I am a sucker for Bill Pullman's speech.

I am Legend prequel. Really? Unless it has more of his, Will Smith's characters, wife (she is one of the stars of SyFy's Eureka) I don't care. Salli Richardson-Whitfield is beautiful and such a good actress. Anyway the movie was so bad I don't care about what happened before...wait a prequel would mean before the vampires right? I'm confused...or maybe after the evacuation but before this movie....my head hurts now.

Austin Powers 4. The first one made me laugh. The second one was ok. The third one was HORRIBLE. Mike Myers is just horrible. He has completely lost it and I say that as someone who saw the Love Guru (don't ask, it is one of the biggest mistakes I made in a long time).

Mortal Combat. I know nothing about it other than its about 20 years too late. The first one was bad.

Another Pirate of the Caribbean movie. Good grief its based on a damn disney ride. I turned the first one off it was so bad. I sat through the second only because I went with people. I would rather be shot with a stun gun in the ball than watch another one of these things.

Transformer 3. Yes we all knew it was coming. 3 years ago I was excited as I hadn't been raped by Michael Bay yet. Honestly if it wasn't for the comic series and the possible upcoming video game I might have lost all faith in the universe that I've loved for over 25 years. My only hope is that maybe Bay will put some comedy in this one. Maybe have a few dogs humping or have a transformer with giant balls. Sarcasm people, those things destroyed my soul!

A Nightmare on Elm Street. I kinda like the original series. However with Robert Englund out there not to have him in the movie is just wrong. He IS Freddy and casting the guy from Watchmen as him is just wrong.

Sex in the City 2. I don't think I need to say anything else do I?

Step Up...in 3D. Again do I need to say anything else?

I will end this with Paranormal Activity 2. I loved the first one. I think it was one of the best movies I saw last year. I saw it three times in the theater. I think the premise of the film was great. I liked everything about the movie but I don't want to see a second one. Don't ruin it for money. Leave it be. If the people involved wanted to make another movie do it but leave what you made alone.

Ok I'm done. But I did come up with a movie that needs remade. Jurassic Park. Why? Because T-Rex is now a pussy and they need to make the movie to reflect this. Make the T-Rex all scavengery (is that a word?). Instead of him attacking the car it can sit in the bushes watching waiting for a real dinosaur to attack it so it can pick the bones of the car. Then at the end instead of saving Grant and company it can wait for the raptors to kill them and then come in and grab the bones like Ace does a bone when I give it him. But then again they have probably made Raptors into herbivores that had feathers and were actually the size of one of those rat dogs that bimbos carry around in their purses. Sorry I am watching the movie now and the idea of a scavenger T-Rex still pisses me off.

Well that is enough rambling. I'm off to finish watching more rifftrax until next time....

Abyssinia!
