Guilty Pleasure Review: White Chicks

-
Making my way down town. Walking fast, faces pass and I'm home bound.
 
 
I have a valid reason for even going to see this film in the first place: Because I was a stupid teenager. My friends decided that we were going to spend our day mixing Everclear and pink lemonade, going down the water slides at our hotel about 100 times, then capping our night off with going to this little gem at the movie theater. My thought process was "I'm going to get drunk, and therefore this movie will be funny." Well, turns out I think this movie is hilarious stone cold sober as well.
 
Brothers and FBI agents Kevin and Marcus Copeland (Shawn and Marlon Waynes) botch a job, and end up working undercover as private security for two rich Hilton sister knockoffs. Long story short, they refuse to leave their hotel room, so Kevin and Marcus are forced to dress up as them to continue their undercover operation.
 
I'm not even ashamed that I love this movie. (Ok, maybe a little) The entire thing is SO far fetched, but there are so many great lines. Jennifer Carpenter is a standout as one of the spoiler sister's friend with some severe body issues. It's just so stupid that you can't help but laugh. Whenever I hear "1000 Miles" my Vanessa Carlton, I think of this movie. The only unfortunate thing for me was that my friends constantly said "Oh my God, Brittanniiiii" for a long time after seeing this.
 
Bottom line, if you're looking for an amusing bad movie to watch, this is it. It's fucking hilarious.

    LOL, this movie is hilariously bad and yet that doesn't negate the fact that it is HILARIOUS! Great write up, and definite guilty pleasure!

    I used to really press my students to make connections to other works. But year after year, I almost lose my shit, when some kid starts their response with:

    "Oh, yeah. Did you ever see White Chicks? 'Cuz there's this part..."

    So, basically...I'm going to sit this one out. Forever. Only so I can't engage with them.

    (but I definitely enjoyed the write up!)

    I fucking enjoy this film. It's hilarious. "Who's blocking my sun?..." "Easy there white chocolate, I don't want you to melt" "Ok Schwarzenegro".

    Terry Crews stole the film for me and I just love every scene he's in.

      Oh God, he was hilarious. I about died when he was dancing with the glow sticks and the whistle.

    I really do laugh my ass off every time I see this flick. It's also the only flick that had me wet myself by how much I was laughing. Yeah, it was that intense. Good review Brittani. Glad you stuck up for this one.

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
