Guilty Pleasures Blogathon

-


The lovely ladies over at Flick Chicks are hosting a new blogathon! They ask us to name some of our favorite guilty pleasures. Here are the rules:

 1 - You can choose and discuss as many or as few movies as you like. We both did a Top 10, but you can just choose 1 movie if you like. Just tell us a bit about the movie and why you like it so much.

 2 - Please create a new post for our Blogathon, rather than linking an old post you may have already done.

 3 - Please include our Blogathon Banner anywhere in your post
4 - The deadline for entries is Sunday, 31st August, so there's plenty of time!

 I used to post Guilty Pleasure reviews occasionally, but it's been over a year since I've done one. I decided to post a top 5 here, even though I'm sure I have many more.
1) Drop Dead Gorgeous



This 1999 comedy features some awfully over the top Minnesota accents, Kirsten Dunst and a blonde Amy Adams. It's one of my favorite chick flicks, yet most people that have seen it seem to hate it.

2) White Chicks
There are so many things that are politically incorrect with this movie, but it doesn't change the fact that it's fucking hilarious. 




3) BASEketball
Critics hated this film from the creators of South Park. Sure it was random, obscene, and made little sense, but it was funny and had a ton of great one liners. To me, it just proved that Trey Parker and Matt Stone are two of the funniest guys around.



4) Normal Adolescent Behavior
When this movie got released on DVD, it got re-named "Havoc 2" despite it having absolutely nothing to do with the original movie, or even a similar story for that matter. I think that automatically made most people hate it. The film has a lot of problems, but I still find it fascinating. 


5) Georgia Rule
This is the only film on this list that I don't really have a reason for liking. I think Lindsay Lohan was essentially playing herself in it, but for some reason whenever this film is on and I have nothing else to do, I'll watch it. 

 Thanks for hosting, ladies!

      I tap danced when I was a kid and actually memorized Kirsten Dunst's tap routine in this film. That's how obsessed I was with it.

    This is a great idea for a blogathon. I haven't seen any of the movies you chose, but I love your gifs. And I love this line: "Sure it was random, obscene, and made little sense, but it was funny ..." :-)

    I love seeing what people's guilty pleasures are. Haven't seen any of these except for most of White Chicks and I honestly hated every second of it. I guess that means it definitely qualifies. Great post.

      Whenever I hear 1000 Miles, I think of White Chicks. I'm not even ashamed of loving that movie. (Or Drop Dead Gorgeous)

      I didn't even bother with Little Man. I already knew nothing could touch White Chicks.

    I've only seen White Chicks, which I hated. I LOVE that you have it on here, though.

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...
