OhBlerg's Top 5 Movies so Bad, They're Actually Kind of Good

Buzz Community — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 09:30:00 PDT

The following post is from OhBlerg, who submitted it to the Movie Reviews Group in Buzz Community.

Even the cheekiest, cheesiest, or most ridiculous flicks house a gem element that makes them worth your time. You just have to let go. Breathe. And prepare to giggle for at least 90 minutes. Here are five films that I believe suffered unfairly for their poorly developed plots, less than dazzling acting, or unmemorable final cut. I watched them once. And then watched them again. And they were way better the second time around.

Glitter - It's almost been a decade and any profile of poor Mariah Carey jabs with this one. I say grab your best girlfriend, a glass of vino, and watch it again. You'll wince at the lip-syncing, plot and hair, but get shivers from the singalong worthy tunes, Mariah's producer boyfriend's sleeveless tanks and appearances from Da Brat and Padma Lakshmi. And glitter. Lots and lots of glitter.

What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 06:30:52 PDT

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. HBO's The Alzheimer's Project is also out on DVD.

Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.5
One of SciFi's (or, sorry, SyFy's) signature and most critically acclaimed series, Battlestar Galactica, ended this year. Now you can own the DVD and complete your collection, or if you're catching up with the series, you can add to your queue and witness the wrap-up for yourself.

Since I haven't seen it yet, here's how Netflix describes the final season: "Dire new challenges to the tenuous human-Cylon truce that has enabled them all to reach Earth, where they encounter a world vastly different than they expected. As revolt spreads throughout the fleet, the final Cylon model is revealed, and the ultimate fate of both races hangs in the balance. Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell star."

There are DVD extras aplenty, including deleted scenes, several unaired extended episodes, commentary with producers and show directors, David Eick's video blogs, and a featurette titled "A Look Back."

Two more up next, so

read more. Fast and Furious A lot of people went to see this movie when it hit theaters. It was like the Paul Blart: Mall Cop of action movies this year. Anyway, here's how Netflix describes the "plot": "Fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) must team with his old nemesis Agent Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and take on a common enemy in the latest full-throttle installment of the speed-racing franchise. Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster reprise their roles as Letty and Mia, respectively, in the action adventure, which features pulse-pounding convoy heists and precision tunnel crawls." Check out these featurettes: "Los Bandoleros: Vin Diesel's original short film provides an exciting back-story of characters and the need for fuel that sets up the explosive land train heist in Fast and Furious," (ha!) "Under the Hood-Muscle Cars: A look at some of the muscle cars in the film including the return of Vin Diesel's iconic Charger," and "Driving School With Vin Diesel: Vin Diesel hits the track to brush up on his stunt driving." 28%
Dollhouse: Season One People often, you know, do stuff on Friday nights and may not have seen this latest and greatest TV creation from Buffy mastermind Joss Whedon just yet. Despite its flaws, I really got into this show! The first season really improves about four or five episodes in, so this is one of those instances when you have to hang in there and trust that it gets pretty interesting, especially if you are into science fiction. Eliza Dushku plays Echo, part of a group of people whose personalities are wiped clean from their brains so that they can be imprinted as lots of different people. Sometimes these people are cool (super smart detective types) and sometimes they are, well, creepy, and used for nefarious purposes, like sex. In this first season we learn about the mysterious history of who Echo really is, as well as the dark secrets hidden inside the Dollhouse. Special features include the original unaired pilot titled "Echo," deleted scenes, and the making of Dollhouse.

Michelle regretted putting super-glue on her hands and shoes.

Box Office: Zac Is the Man of the Hour

BuzzSugar — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 07:30:05 PDT

Looks like young Mr. Efron is proving to be a bankable actor, as his movie, 17 Again, debuted at No. 1 this weekend, earning an estimated $24.1 million.

Meanwhile, Russell Crowe's political thriller, State of Play, came in second place with an estimated $14.1 million. Monsters vs. Aliens came in at No. 3, and it looks like there's only so much tween-love to go around, which might explain Hannah Montana: The Movie slipping from the No. 1 spot last week to No. 4 this week. Fast and Furious rounded out the top five.

Box Office: Miley's Big Weekend

BuzzSugar — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 08:30:18 PDT

Buzz readers are a savvy bunch and correctly predicted that Miley Cyrus's latest movie would debut at No. 1 over the weekend. Ms. Cyrus is a major force to be reckoned with at the box office, as this is her second blockbuster - and she's still a kid!

Hannah Montana: The Movie earned an estimated $34 million, zooming right by Fast and Furious which came in second.

Seth Rogen's dark comedy Observe and Report came in lower than expected at No. 4, behind Monsters vs. Aliens. Knowing rounded out the top five.

What Will Win This Weekend's Box Office?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:27:30 PDT

It's the face-off to end all face-offs! Just kidding. It's just a little prediction poll about this weekend's box office.

Last week Fast and Furious took people by surprise when it snagged a whopping $72.5 million, and Variety notes that the Vin Diesel flick "is considered the front-runner" for the box office win again this weekend. However, Miss Cyrus is headed into this Easter weekend with guns blazing, too, packing Hannah Montana: The Movie with the likes of Taylor Swift and Tyra Banks. The Disney star has smashed box office records before, but recent tween offerings, like the Jonas Brothers movie, have failed to meet expectations.

So, who's it gonna be?

Box Office: Fast and Furious Races to the Top

BuzzSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 08:30:05 PDT

Wowza! The fourth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise debuted this weekend and earned an estimated $72.5 million, easily taking the No. 1 spot at the box office. Variety reports this represents one of the biggest box office surprises of the season and is the biggest April opening ever.

Monsters vs. Aliens continued to do solid business and came in second place with an estimated $33.5 million. The top five was rounded out by The Haunting in Connecticut, Knowing, and I Love You, Man in third, fourth, and fifth place respectively. Finally, a movie I really enjoyed, Adventureland, debuted at No. 6.

Did any of you see Fast and Furious? Did your theater have shaky seats?

Which Jordana Brewster Fast & Furious Premiere Look Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:22:22 PDT

Fast & Furious isn't exactly my kind of flick, but I must admit, it's been nice witnessing all the looks actress Jordana Brewster has been rocking at the premieres. From Madrid to London, France to Germany and Hollywood, Jordana has spiced it up each time. All her dresses are lovely, but which do you think is most Fab?

Fun or Fail: Movie Theater Seats That Move You

BuzzSugar — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 16:30:30 PDT

I spotted this post today about movie theater seats that will "enhance" the movie-watching experience by shaking the viewer in correlation to the action onscreen. Apparently, it's a "motion-generating system called D-Box Motion Code, which will accompany films by shaking theater seats." The upcoming Fast and Furious movie will be the first to have these shaky seats.

What do you think of seats that actually make you feel like you're zooming around in a fast car or . . . experiencing an earthquake, or something? Is this a fun idea? Or full of fail?
