Last night I was at Blockbuster browsing the previewed videos they have for sale. I picked up a copy of (turns head, makes sure no one’s watching) Spice World. :o Which makes me think of other movies I really enjoy but am a little embarrased to admit how much I like them. Some of the top ones in that category for me are: What About Bob Dumb & Dumber (Love this movie!) Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion (ditto) Kull the Conqueror That probably makes me sound like an inane lowbrow, but I’m really not. They’re just brain candy for me, after a hard semester (I work f-t & take classes f-t), and help me relax. What movie are you embarrassed to admit that you like?:o ---

_What About Bob_ is a great movie! _Dumb and Dumber_ make my choice seem like Citizen Kane … I was hanging at a friend’s house last week. I’d stayed over night and had the morning to myself in his living room as he went to work. He has HBO. HBO was showing … [sub]Dude, Where’s My Car[/sub] I laughed my self stupid. I’m not proud of it. ---

Fried Green Tomatoes. I watched it just to appease my girlfriend, but I enjoyed it. I’m so embarrassed! And I watched Dude, Where’s My Car?? last night. But then, Kristy Swanson is in it, so there was no way I’d miss it. Funny as hell. ---

I don’t know if I’d say I’m _embarrassed_ , but I sure as hell _should_ be, because I love: [ul] [li]Hair[/li][li]Grease 2 (yes… Grease 2)[/li][li]The Incredible Shrinking Woman[/li][li]Pootie Tang[/li][/ul] …to name a few… _slinking out_ ---

_Undercover Blues_, starring Dennis Quaid, Kathleen Turner, and Fiona Shaw in yet another ridiculous role. Oh, and Stanley “Mah nem is _Muerte_!” Tucci. What can I say – it makes me laugh. ---

Hey, I thought _Undercover Blues_ was cool. Keep it a secret, but I have a secial fondness for _The Blue Iguana_, starring Dylan McDermott in his pre-_Practice_ days. ---

i watched, for some reason that escapes me now, “A Walk in the Clouds” and thought it was kinda sweet. (yuck! what the hell is wrong with me?) i also like “Three Amigos” and “The Man with two Brains” and thanks to Comedy Central, get to see them at least 2-3 times a week! yes, these are embarrising! ---

Most of the movies mentioned have been pretty good. The one that is my guilty pleasure Mighty Morphing Power Rangers. The original one, not the excreble Mighty Morphing Power Rangers Turbo. ---

Well the other day during Starz! free preview weekend, I found myself watching _Bring It On_ about cheerleaders. I only watched half of it because I had somewhere to be, but I liked it. I plan to rent it sometime to see the rest of it. I also liked _Legally Blonde_ and _Drop Dead Gorgeous_. And it’s not just the hot ladies like Kiersten Dunst, Reese Witherspoon and Denise Richards. I actually liked the entire movies. ---

There’s plenty of time to see all of _Bring It On_ because Starz! has started another free weekend. I didn’t even know of the previous one! ---
