From the Balcony Bad movies R us (meaing Zach and I)

First a couple of notes,Below is Chapter One and two of the whales' log if you haven't gottne it yet. it's really hard to be a Knick's fan right now, but you can't say our team doesn't have any fight left in it. I never really liked Carmelo much but after backing up 75 feet with Jared Jefferies chasing, i hope he never wins a title and becomes the next Big Dog Glen Robison. I know i have never thrown a punch in my life, but like braden siad in Uncle Dannies' basement if i'm ever that dumb let me take my beatig like a man, It sucks with iverson going to Denver becuase i love iverson so much and want him to stick it to the whole L for the next three years. So if there is some way Iverson can lead Denver to the title without Melo i would be happy. If anyone has read the sports guy or SCoop Jackson on Espn about how this is Race related, i agree 100% with the idea Iverson is over the hill and about the fight, we all laugh when Kyle Farnswaorth planted that guy when he pitch for the Cubs, but fighitng in Basketball cuases every one to over re-act. It was a fight any one who has played any game know emotions run high and sometimes things go to far. That said just when you think Isiah couldn't get any lower he goes and makes me proud to be a knicks fan by putting a hit on the entire Denver team. I believe this is post number 98 meaning happy 100 is just around the corner and i have a little treat for everyone with the happy 100th blog.

On to Zach and I first colaburation for the Blog. I asked him to do a ten worst movies that'll you'll watch since him and I have a found affection with bad movies. So movies like Rocky 5 don't count becuase no one actully watches it. These are movies Zach and I will get sucked into wathcing whenever they are on, but we both know they suck. Zach's Really out did himself for this one.
My list will start with a plot rehash and then a what reels you in, and what makes it so bad.
Enjoy and please share your list
My list
Ready to Rumble I got this movie late one night and this little flick shot right to the top of my list. Two guys tweeder and David Arucet(spelling?) Courtney COx's husband, who has been in a bunch of bad movies, like 8 legged freaks star in a comedy about two guys that work emptying port'o'johns for a living and only love watching wrestling. Their Favorite wrestler The King something, loses and get's thrown out of wrestling. They decide to go to the aid of their favorite wrestler and help it get back hi title. The guy is a total bum and ass to boot. The finally turn things around and get the guy a shot at the title with Cox's boy toy flying into the ring as a state trooper because that's what his father wanted him to do saving the day
What reels you in, the fact that these two morons believe wrestling is still real and their in their late 20's. They fact that the atractive girl in the movie isn't even that hot, but hot in trashy trailor i'd do her way.
What's really bad about the movie, everything
Total times view once but hoping for many more

2nd
You've got served. a dance crew (B2k) compete for money in a ware house. they also deal merchandise for a guy on the side. The end up getting in a fight over the a one dating the other's sister and the fact one ends up in the hospital. the end up in a contest for 50,000 thousand dollars and a chance to be in little kim's video before her jail time

what reels you in, the fact that they settle beefs on the streets by dancing, the fact that the solve their money problem by an older gentleman (steve harvey) telling the durg dealer to back off becuase that works in real life.
what makes it bad: the say crew 3,000 times in the movie and that being in a little kim video was the prize was flavor flav busy
total times view at least 5

3rd
Any of Nick Cannon's movie, either the dorky guy version of She's all that, or drum line. The are all the same
What reels you in the usually cast a really hot girl opposite him, and in drum line the snare drumming is unbelievable.
what so bad about them , they're the same fucking movie, if it wasn't for wild and out he would be higher up my list, that's his only saving grace.
total times view at least 10

4th
the ducks triolgy, forget Rocky the ulitmate underdog movie. Uncoridnated kids with out any gear get a drunk rich ex hockey player coach and turn things around winning a city league title, a junior olympics gold medal over that nasty Poland team and finally as a junior varisty team of the varsity.
what reels you in, goldberg, the knuckle puck, american pride with the second movie, rooting for Charlie. and as i have written before the connection with my father.
what's sop bad about it, they have done this movie with every sport, the litte giants(football) green machine(soccer) bad news bears(baseball twice) and they knew enough that one was enough but not enough for me total times view don't have a clue

and finally 5
Hulk the moive
Everyone knows the story about the comic book Hero Hulk the movie follows the same path. Klye and i watched this once and couldn't turn it off becuase we had no clue what was going on and had to find out why the movei was so confusing.
what reels you in, a guy turing into a gib green unstoppable machine, and the fact nothing makes sense, you want to turn this movie off, you want it to go away but you can't your brain goes into over load to figure out how it could be this bad. Maybe that was the director's thought, we'll make it so bad that no one will turn away becuase they'll try to piece together ther crap
what makes it so bad, everything there isn't a redeming quality about this movie, no unintential comedy scale, no one great scene, no, you realize this is a dumb movie but watch it anyways. You just watch it over and over again trying to figure out what was the rhyme and reason to makeing this movie and they have sucked me in 4 times and i still have no clue why it ends the way it does, why the plot moves the way it does, i'm preplexed.

Zach;s list
Howdy partners I am going to limit my 5 movie options to movies containing the actor Daniel Stern. There are some real spectacular ones in this list so here we go in no particular order.

1. Celtic Pride - Two die-hard Boston Celtic fans (Dan Aykroyd & Daniel Stern) kidnap ultimate superstar in the league who plays for none other than the Utah Jazz mind you Damon Waynes. The do this crazy unbelievable feat so that their beloved Celtics can win the championship before they tear down the stadium at the end of the season. So there is the summary quite briefly. Needless to say tons of twists and turn and a roller coaster of excitement in this thriller of a movie that packs a punch.

2. City Slickers 1&2 – Now I have to be honest I never saw these movies very much when they were popular, both I have to say are equally crappy movies which is why they are on this short list, but I would say that the second one is the movie I have seen more. Uhh anyway I am grabbing at straws here is the synopsis three dudes who want to be hard asses who aren’t go to the dessert and a bunch of weird adventures happen.

3. Home Alone 1&2 – These are the two movies that I believe helped solidify Daniel Stern’s comedy style in the his movies to come and by that I mean it was pretty much a staple after the first one that whatever movie he was in for the rest of his life he would get hit in the balls for an extra laugh. And without further research I believe that in every movie specifically on this list I am compiling this event takes place in all of them.

Time for the some highlights of this list.

4. Bushwacked – The deliveryman framed by a smooth talking swindler faking his death to frame this lowly delivery man. So on the run from the cops what is the best way to evade them? Why the easy answer to that is to become a co-ed scout leader. With this movie its typical D. Sterrn humor from the get go lots of squeaky yelling and crazy rants. Best part of this movie is that it is the perfect movie to catch mid-way through and finish all the way to the big twist at the end.

5. Rookie of the Year – OMG I tell you seeing D. Stern in this movie helps make a crappy movie even better this movie already should be on some of your lists, but who would have though that I could wrap a common thread back to it. Phil Brickma the run down veteran pitcher helping the young rookie with some tips on how to maintain some longevity in the league steals the show in my mind. He is really goofy, but at the same time the stuff he does is hilarious especially at the end when he gets locked in the cage in the locker room.

Everything is a work in Progress and don't be a squirel and pack your nuts away for winter share with story with everyone
