Because who doesn't want to see Kevin Bacon yell at giant human-eating worms?

To say I love movies would be an understatement. Since I was a kid, my dad would take my brothers and me to the movies at least once a month. During the summer, we'd go at least once a week.

Even now, when I have breaks coming up for school, my dad will call in advance and ask me which movies I want to see so we can see them together.

We have a closet full of DVDs and Blu-rays and boxes full of VHS' in the garage. My life has basically revolved around movies. And honestly, my favorite movies are bad movies.

Without further ado, here are some movies that are so bad they're good.

1. Tremors (1990)

Hands down my all time favorite movie! First of all, it has Kevin Bacon and Reba McEntire. Second of all, it's about giant monster worms that come out of the ground and eat people. It's so ridiculous and that's the point! It's a B movie that knows it's a B movie but still tries so damn hard. A nice nod toward 50s creature flicks. Do yourself a favor and watch it. (Also, there are about 4 more of these movies each one more ridiculous than the last.)

2. Vanishing on 7th Street (2010)

Literally, any movie that mentions Croatoan gets an A from me. I particularly like this one though because it is so messed up how some of the people end up disappearing. It's definitely a cheesy scary movie and the plot leaves quite a bit to be desired but it's quite a ride. The little girl at the end is my hero, though, even if it doesn't really make sense for her to have survived so long.

3. Deep Blue Sea (1999)


LL Cool J fights genetically modified sharks and I'm honestly laughing as I type this sentence. Not to mention, Samuel L Jackson yelling at said sharks. That's really all you have to know about this movie fully appreciate how bad it is.

4. You Got Served (2004)

This one is actually not supposed to be a scary movie! It's a dance movie from the early 2000's full of terrible one-liners and hairstyles. But some pretty decent dance moves? Well, at least they're better than the characters.

5. Doom (2005)

Did you know that the super iconic first-person shooter game which first came out in 1993 was adapted into a film featuring The Rock and Karl Urban? No? You do now. It's a beautifully cheesy movie with lots of gore and demon killing. Also, a pretty decent scene shot from first-person that manages to recreate the feel of playing a video game. Definitely, a must if only to reminisce about the time when The Rock still had some hair.


Look, none of these movies are what you would call cinematic masterpieces, but they are entertaining as hell. So grab some friends and some popcorn and watch some truly bad movies.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
