Enjoying Bad Movies

What makes a movie good? Is it enough to call a movie good if you simply enjoyed it? Sometimes I watch a movie and I know it’s not a good movie, yet I still find it enjoyable. Two movies I recently saw that fits the bill:

and

I know neither of them are even close to being Oscar winners. I mean, they got 29% and 25% on Rotten Tomatoes, respectively. But even though I know both of them have some serious flaws, I thought they were both highly entertaining because a) I like almost every movie that Nicholas Cage is in (except for Ghost Rider, which I thought was pure crap) and b) I’m a sucker for dance movies.

So screw you Rotten Tomatoes . . . stop being so picky and just enjoy the damn movie!

Name: Alvin

AIM: fiftysvn

Bio: I graduated from Binghamton University with a B.A. in Economics in 2006. I appreciate many things in life, but life is not a spectator sport so whatever I find interesting also becomes my interest. My hobbies include photography, brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing and snowboarding. I wouldn't call myself a voracious reader, but I do like to read. My favorite authors at the moment are Malcolm Gladwell and Ayn Rand. Currently I am unemployed and hoping to weather the economic storm.
