A few months back, I uploaded a suggestions page so that all you amazing followers could contribute ideas for future posts. An interesting one came from the fabulous Melissa, she suggested I do a post on my movie guilty pleasures. Movies that are just rot and are so bad, but I can’t help but love.
So here’s five of my shameful guilty pleasures:
Charlie’s Angels
Thin plot? Check. Cheesy lines? Check. Babes in hot outfits? Definite Check. The motion picture reboot of the sassy trio of females fighting crime has a story about as interesting as watching a snail cross the room. But somehow, the hot chicks kicking ass, barely there outfits and pop soundtrack always makes this flick a soft spot for me.
The Reaping
This derivative horror movie attempts to blend spooky horror with religious prophecies. Yet it turns out completely illogical in the end and the actors here are slumming it big time. Despite this, there is something I found compelling about the bayou atmosphere and strange music.
Resident Evil
I’ve written about Resident Evil before on this blog and I remember describing it as a popcorn movie. It isn’t a film that engages the head or mind, it just delivers full-on action and horror. It’s not going to be remembered as a seminal work of cinema, but it works as a popcorn movie.
D.O.A: Dead or Alive
Yet another flick of scantily clad honeys kicking ass and showing off their moves, D.O.A : Dead or Alive is the definition of guilty pleasure in my book.
Honey
This urban dance movie has a story that is just saccharine rubbish. Yet I can’t deny the dancing is good and Jessica Alba is stunning throughout.
I hope you’ve all enjoyed reading this list of guilty pleasures.
Milla Jojovich is my all time fav movie girl. I’d watch her reading the phone book. Nice post.

Yeah… Some bad ones here. 😉 I kind of liked The Reaping. It’s shit! But it’s the kind of shit horror movie I like to watch on my own. I guess you can like Charlie’s Angels if I’m allowed to like Sucker Punch… 🙂

I understand what you mean about The Reaping. Yeah you’re allowed to like Sucker Punch.

If we are talking dodgy films with delicious babes as a guilty pleasure, got to go with ‘Wild Things’. This version from 1998, of course. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120890/
Cheers mate. Pete.

That and ‘Bound’ (1996). But ‘Bound’ is a great film, not a guilty pleasure.

Make sure you get the ‘uncut’ version though…Joe Pantoliano is also good in it, but the chemistry between Gershon and Tilly is something to behold.
