I saw this at the theater so it has an endearing quality for me. Who would've thought Jessica Lange has any intelligence at all after seeing it, yet she turns out to be one of the most talented actresses ever.

Well, I don't know what to say...
That's why I feel guilty about it! Actually, Jaws 2, however implausible, is a decent flick. Don't hold a candle to the original, though. And Jaws 4 is fun if only because the great Michael Caine is in it, shark or no bloody shark.

Say 'thankee'.
I've seen parts of the second Jaws, but have avoided the rest, so I shouldn't comment on them. I probably would like the My Cocaine one, though.
Is that the one with Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange?
I'll watch anything with Jessica Lange in it.
Would Battleship be considered a guilty pleasure? I've probably watched it 10 times over the last couple of months.
Yes, that one. She was incredible in Tootsie.
Reba McEntire is worth the price of admission just by herself.
The Rocketeer. Actually a damn good flick. The effects are kinda old-school Cristopher Reeve Superman stuff, but has great performances. Alan Arkan is wonderful as always, and Jennifer Connelly is drop dead georgous as ever. The cat who plays Ted Kord--the hero of the piece--looks just like his comic counterpart. Good actor, too. Oh, and Timothy Dalton is terrific as the Errol Flynn-esque actor/ Nazi Spy. Paul Sorvino, fresh from his role in Goodfellas, does his usual mob boss thing. Furthermore, they stay pretty close to the graphic novel in terms of story. Thumbs up.
Hmmm...I don't feel guilty about loving this movie. Oh well. Enjoy.

Someone mentioned "Re-animator" Walter?
Good times.

We saw Rocketeer at the big screen and walked away saying, "That was just a good, entertaining movie." No guilt involved.

You have walking dead, full frontal nudity with a winsome lady, a literal talking head, and snappy lines by a twisted scientist ("Don't expect it to tango. It has a broken back."), and blood and tragedy. What else can you ask for out of a horror movie?
Yes, I like that one and also Evan Almighty. Love Steve Carell.

Too much split skirt eye candy and '50s dick Tracy references for me to cope with.
