Rachel's Cinematic Treasures
To know me is to know one thing for certain...I am known for picking bad movies. Now, I say that I am known to pick "bad" movies where as everyone else in my life would tell you that my movie choices are atrociously bad. Some may even consider my cinematic selections to be...say....horrendous. I happen to strongly disagree with this rather unfortunate reputation that has been wrongfully bestowed upon me. But hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I suppose.
One thing to know about me is that I love a big budget summer blockbuster and have been known to watch these movies at any given chance and by that I'm saying...if one of these movies are on t.v., I'm watching. Everytime. It doesn't matter that I may have just watched Silence Of The Lambs last weekend. If its on again this weekend...I'm watching! Some of the movies that I have affectionately labeled "Cinematic Treasures" include...Independence Day, Con-Air, The Day After Tomorrow, War Of The Worlds and of course the amazing Armageddon! These are gems among gems in my book. Take Con-Air for example. I am not a huge Nick Cage fan but in this move....please...he can do no wrong. God love him for trying with that horrible southern accent and that long hair. With a supporting cast of Ving Rhames, John Cusick, John Malcovich, and Steve Buscemi....what more could a movie buff ask for??? And don't even get me started on Armageddon! Bruce Willis making the ultimate sacrifice to save the planet and allow Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler to be together...I get chills every single time I watch that scene! All in all, I feel my movie choices are just fine. I mean, yes, Christina had a hard time getting over the time we went to see Bug starring Ashley Judd. But that movie was nothing, if not interesting. And yes, I did take quite a bit of heat when I dragged my friends to see Hostel, but hey, doesn't everyone like a good horror movie? No?
I'll leave you all with my favorite Nick Cage line from Con-Air.
