Top 5 Heroes. Top 5 Villains


Alright, here it goes our first topic. First of all let me introduce Melody to you. Here she is all cute and stuff. Mel is one of my favorite friends, and I love working with her. We differ in opinions on a lot of things. She loves her cowboys and country music, and well.....I don't. Give me my indie music, and non-cowboys any day. So it was fun for this first time to see what she would put in her list. Her lists were hilarious, and surprising. So without further adieu I give you our top 5 villains and heroes.

VILLAINS:

MELODY:

5: AIDS--"PHILADELPHIA" How hilarious! Thinking outside the box. Creative
4: HMONG GANG--"GRAN TORINO"
3: ANNIE WILKES--"MISERY"
2: BILLIE 'THE BLUE BEAR'--"MILLION DOLLAR BABY" That dirty boxer
1: LORD VOLDEMORT--"HARRY POTTER"

JEANNINE:

5: MAX CADY--"CAPE FEAR"
4: VERBAL KINT--"THE USUAL SUSPECTS"
3: HANS GRUBER--"DIE HARD" I have to put Alan Rickman in there
2: STANSFIELD--"THE PROFESSIONAL" Gary Oldman was super creepy
1: THE JOKER--"THE DARK KNIGHT" Heath Ledger was amazing

HEROES:

MELODY:

5: IDGIE THREDGOOD--"FRIED GREEN TOMATOES" Good choice.
4: LASSIE--"LASSIE"
3: ERIN BROKOVICH--"ERIN BROKOVICH"
2: ATTICUS FINCH--"TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD"
1: WALT KOWALSKI--"GRAN TORINO" Yes she has a big crush on him

JEANNINE:

5: WILLIAM WALLACE--"BRAVEHEART"
4: MAXIMUS--"GLADIATOR"
3: SIRIUS BLACK--"HARRY POTTER" Gary Oldman is my hero & villain
2: ATTICUS FINCH--"TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" same hero, same order
1: JOHN McCLANE--"DIE HARD" Of course he will be top of my list.

So crazy that we both picked Atticus Finch, and it was the same order. Who knew. Honestly I had a hard time with my heroes. I could probably replace the last two if I thought a little more about it, but for right now my list is solid.

Comment below if you would like to add your picks to the list, and just to give you a heads up, our next picks are top 5 death scenes, so think about them and when we post our picks add yours in the comments. Enjoy

A Change Of "Scenery"


Okay everybody here's the deal; I haven't been blogging for a long time, because quite frankly my life is pretty boring, and I don't feel I have anything exciting to share. But an idea came to me, something I've been thinking about for awhile so I decided to finally do something about it, so here it goes. Anybody that knows me, knows that I LOVE movies. I love watching them, and I love criticizing them. I love talking about them, and I love listening to people talk to them. Because of this reason I have fallen in love with a few podcasts that I habitually listen to. The first is Doug loves Movies. It's Doug Benson, the hilarious comedians podcast. He has guests on that discuss movies and such, but more importantly he plays movie related games, namely, The Leonard Maltin game, and build a title. I won't go into detail, because if you're a movie lover you should definitely check this out. Subscribe to it on itunes, it's free so no worries, and enjoy. The second is a new favorite of mine called The Film Vault. Bryan Bishop, who was on the Adam Carolla radio show, co-hosts with Anderson Cowan, who I believe is a radio engineer on Loveline. This podcast is awesome because each podcast they pick a topic (such as best villain's, war movies, worst endings--you get the picture) and they pick their top 5 movies. So they'll count down in their opinion their top 5 movies with horrible endings.
I love listening to this, because I always think what my choices would be. I was telling my good friend and co-worker Melody about it, and we decided we're going to forge an awesome club, (membership 2) and we are going to pick topics and count down our top 5 in these topics. If when reading this you have an idea for a topic, or want to add your picks to our topics, please leave comments in the comment box. I'm super excited about this, and can't wait to get started. Also please do yourself a favor, and check out the podcasts "Doug Loves Movies", and "The Film Vault".
