Seasonally Affected BJ
We've had freezing, snowy weather here after so many beautiful, warm days just weeks ago. So, I have chosen two brand new DVD releases to cheer you up and some old classics as well. Keep upbeat with BJ!
Those meddling kids! What could be happier than "Scooby Doo"? The third season of this cartoon classic is available today, so you can eliminate the memory of the horrible recent movie (with the girl from "Freaks and Geeks" who apparently stopped eating after that wonderful show was canceled) from your mind. Enjoy the hilarious mysteries, the hippie outfits, and Scooby's amazing one-liners. I have to say, I knew someone in college that tried to make the van from this show, and it just didn't look cute. I think "The A Team" would've been a better vehicular inspiration.
After last week's carpeted "Brady Bunch" DVD box set cover, today we get Astroturf for the special edition of Major League. Personally, I've always through Astroturf would be a great medium for women's clothing, if they could just get rid of the shedding. I would wear it myself, except I had a traumatic minigold incident when I was eleven and my left knee has never been the same since, and I don't want to wear PTSD-inducing clothes.
The fast-paced, gag-filled comedy of Major League represents a whole style of movies that would be great on a dark and unpleasant day. From the Naked Gun trilogy to Hot Shots, slapstick fun should always be in the forecast!
But the ultimate feel-good movie, one of my all times favorites, and perfect for today's weather has got to be Cool Runnings. I am not ashamed to admit I say this five times in a theater, and I can recite practically the whole movie. John Candy was always one of my heroes, and although his death still brings a tear to my eye, the only tears this movie creates are tears of joy. If they made a figure skating heartwarming slapstick cross between this and Blades of Glory, you can bet my five viewing record would be shattered like Nancy Kerrigan's knee!
