Boom boom clap

Those of you who have ever had to hang out with me on Saturday or Sunday morning know that I have a soft spot in my heart for what are across the board known as bad movies.  Anything with Ashton Kutcher (A Lot Like Love is one of my favs), Down to You (I bet some of you don't even know what that is), etc.  My all time favorite genre is teenie movies.  Being 25 right now, its not really often that you are able to find someone who wants to spend a day watching all of the High School Musical movies.  I used to be made fun of by Jess every weekend (and every time netflix came in) for my taste.  Well things are different in the new world.  I have found TWO people that enjoy these movies as much as I do.  Luckily for me I found them just in time for Miley Cyrus' new movie "Hannah Montana: The Movie" to come out.  

After lying to our co-workers about who we were going to see the movie with (both blaming it on young people we had to take), Tam and I headed off to see HM: TM (as I will call it now).  All I have to say is, Bravo Disney, Bravo.  A masterpiece from start to finish.  Aside from the commercials during the previews which were all about why you should drink your milk (I almost hurled), and the a-little-toooo-close-for-father-and-daughter relationship that Miley and "Robbie Ray" had, it was amazing.  Two songs were especially awesome.  One was the hit single "Climb" which you may have heard on pop radio.  The other was the Hoedown Throwdown.  If you are going to try and fall asleep in the next three hours or so, don't listen to it because it will be stuck in your head all night.  However if you are awesome as Tam and I (and now Marita who has also seen the movie), you'll want to check out this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj3OqMzNin4&feature=related.  Its where you can go to learn the Hoedown Throwdown.  We're going to learn it one night, but we're going to have a few cocktails before hand so when we whip it out at the next party we go to we'll say "Yeah, we learned how to do it one night when we were drunk" so we have a little excuse.  

I just don't understand how I'm single!!

Remember trying to do a spontaneous Hoedown Throwdown (when I thought it was called Tennesee Hoedown, not sure why) on the tube, right when the Suicidal South African Broker (you missed him) came on the train?

Don't forget the insanely teenage chat about Zac Efron vs Chace Crawford after... when the hot guy next to us put his headphones on to drown us out.

Here are some teen-ish movies that should fit the bill and you don't have to be embarrassed to admit you've seen them:
-Diner
-Pretty in Pink
-Lost Boys
-Weird Science
-Porky's
-American Graffiti
That should kill a weekend.

Should Porky's really be on that list?

Jam-Tam, Porky's needs to be on the list. It's a fake coming of age tale that could only happen in the minds of perpetual adolescent male screenwriters. It's what Hollywood was built on.
