No need for Poppin' Popcorn

I do love movies. I love criticizing them, and finding great and creative things filmmakers do that most won't notice. I'm not saying I am stuck up film watcher that everyone hates to watch movies with, but I do notice things. And I occasionally make fun of people who like stupid movies (people who paid for "Valentines Day" I'm looking your way). My brain only goes so deep so I'm no Robert Ebert, but I don't need to be to point out these bad movies.
These are some movies that blew me away watching them(not in a good way). Movies I find myself talking the entire time about how bad they are. These movies are high budget. Low budget ones at least have an excuse.

Movies I hate:

WILD HOGS - All this show needed was Samuel L. Jackson and it could have been the worst movie of all time. Middle aged men, of course one of them being black and the comic relief, set off on motorcycle road trip. They run into "for sale" signs and birds, of course they do cause most middle age men do that riding motorcycles right? Oh and they are bullied by the Buttercream Gang of biker gangs, I was very worried for them. Watch this if you want to see Travolta continue destroying his career, or if your upset and feel like yelling at a justified cause.

WICKER MAN - You know that saying "Never remake a classic" Well even worse, never remake the opposite of classic either. I don't even know what to say about this movie. Just sit down and watch it and try not to make fun of it the entire time. I am the only one in the world who hates Nicholas Cage and all his roles with long hair even though his hair line is on the top of his head!? Shave it already, you are a bald man!

FOOLS GOLD - I'm just over matthew McConaughey "swim in every scene" movies. I'm over them! And so is my wife(well she better be but I think she still likes them). Do they just make a movie based around the idea of Matt having his shirt off and swimming in the ocean?
Writer 1: "Ok, what ideas do we got?"
Writer 2:"I got it! I see McConaughey coming out of the ocean onto the beach"
Producer:" I don't know..."
Writer 2:" Did I mention his shirts off as he throws his wet curly hair back?"
Producer:"Writers! you've done it again, lets fast track this one!"
This movie was incredible, it was hard not to be with a script and cast like that.

Oh, and I hate everything with Tyler Perry involved with it, and Barber Shop 1-17.

Movies I don't need to watch because of the title or cover:


And finally a list of crappy movies that truly are my guilty pleasures:
Leprechaun 1-7(including leprechaun in the hood)
Fast and the Furious(actually everything with Paul Walker in it)
and of course anything done by Wolf Productions. And with that I leave you to watch this amazing video done by Stephen Groo himself!

You couldn't silence me forever. 2 points

1)If I remember correctly, you threw me attitude when I made you watch 2Fast2Furious the other night. You got all kinds of Movie snob on me.

2)
God Bless Wolfe Productions. I couldn't in my wildest dreams produce the on screen magic show here.

Crap. I had to hack into Zach's Life in order fix a tech glitch that wasn't allowing me to comment. Now all my comments are showing up as him.
Worst identity crisis ever!

I couldn't agree more about Tyler Perry, everything he makes is crap.

My last name is Leishman...

Tyler, I'm glad to see you are still breathing and your baby has yet to kill you like I told you he would. We all miss you here so come back, and I will be sure to hug your body
