I have a confession to make...I LOVE DANCE MOVIES! Yes is it true and I am guessing that it started when my blister made me watch Dirty Dancing when I was little, not really one of my favourites, but still has that same sort of story...girl/guy struggling through life not really knowing where they belong or going or they just need to make some money to get out of the life they are lumped with etc etc and then are saved/set free by dance YAY. Now my fave all time dance movie/s is "Step Up 1 & 2". I have not been lucky enough to see "Step Up 3D" yet, so if anyone has please let me know if its just as good as the others. I have recently watched "You Got Served" and I have to say the acting is really pretty pathetic and the movie is a bit broken and weird, but the dancing, oh the dancing its awesome and the struggle that the 2 lads have with each other and the rival rich white boy crew, its just totally awesome. Here is the final dance battle scene its totally off da hook yal LMAO
Now my peeps here are my all time fave dance movies
1. Step Up 2 - yes I like this one better than the 1st one as it has a WAY better soundtrack
2. Step Up 1 - its just awesome!
3. Bring it On - I totally love the line about the cheer dudes sticking their fingers in the girlies when they are lifting them LMAO
4. You Got Served - that episode of Southpark now makes sense LMAO
5. Saturday Night Fever - I must have been in my early teens when I watched this and I remember telling my Mum all about it and how I was soo excited about it and I wanted to marry an italiano man LOL she then told me that her and my Pakka use to go to a dance studio to take lessons on how to disco dance!! Can you believe that shite how hills! And my aunt confirmed that this was true as she had to babysit so they could go :)
6. Billy Elliot - Did anyone else cry at the end of this film? I loved the fact that he stuck to it and become the star of swan lake, really was an inspirational movie
7. Mad Hot Ballroom - this is a doco that tells the story of primary students in NY and entering into a school citywide ballroom comp I wanted to put this higher but cause its a doco it really lacks in the cheese that is dance movies
8. Stomp The Yard - Dude getting off the streets and going to uni to learn how to stomp the yard!! OMG sexy friggin man bodies everywhere and we can all do the cobra pose together hiss hiss hiss ;)
9. Footloose - do I really need to say anymore? kevin bacon bringing dance back to a town, only downer is that it has SJP in it...I toally hate her, what is Matthew Broderick doing??!!
10. Top Hat - A best dance movie list would not be complete without a Fred Astaire movie, and its dancing with his legendary partner Ginger Rogers.
11.Centre Stage - just cause they did that lame dance sex scene thing and she was a rebel ballerina LMAO #2 totally sucks big hairy ball bags don't even bother, one good thing about it is that they have kept some of the main characters from the first one but its mega mega mega too much cheese
12. Shall We Dance - poor poor Richard Gere getting sucked into J-Lo's amazing moves and sexy bod yall! And are his eyes open at all??!!
13. Honey - I mean really her name is HONEY!! And she has all the smooth moves LOL
Well thats all that I can be bothered with, and yes I know there are more but I refuse to put them on MY list...yes I am talking about you Julia Flatface! Save the Last shit was total SHIT!!!
One that I have not seen yet but totally want to is "White Nights" from the 80's and is ballet & tap with Russian men, what more could you ask for?!

Listening to...Sir Lucious Left Foot:The Son Of Chico Dusty
So I am listening to the new album from Big Boi and I am finding myself hipping and hopping along to his awesome beats. There are a lot of collaborations on the album, however I don't really know most of the peeps he is collaborating with and I dont really care cause its all good shite. This album really gets ya feet a tapping and ya booty shaking. Most played songs so far are "shutterbugg","Daddy Fat Sax" & "Tangerine". There is a little dialog skit thing about getting David Blain'd and I am really hoping that this neva happens to me eva! Totally cracked me up and caused mountain dew to come out of my nostrils!
Big Boi is obviously a master, aussie hip hop take many many notes this is how the shit is done BOI!

Obession....A Spoonful of Sugar
Ok so due to man issues I have found comfort in all things sweet and unfortunately for my hips I discovered a store in the shitsville called "A Spoonful of Sugar". It should really be called a bucket full of sugar as everything in there is OTT sugar. I have only let myself indulge in the homemade fudge and have so far tried chocolate, double chocolate, turkish delight & jaffa. The fudge is soft gooey goodness that I think if everyone ate there would be no drama in the world, I mean really, chocolate really does just make you forget everything and kind of makes you say "at least there is chocolate", to all things bad. However it does have a dangerous side, for example I started buying 50g for $2.50 and have slowly been buying larger and larger pieces, I found myself handing over a $10 note this afternoon. This is not good for someone that is on a very very strict budget, do you think that the fudge makers at A Spoonful of Sugar are packing it with a sugar drug that makes you come back for more?!! I have noticed that there are regulars going back to the store at the same time as me, AND we are all buying fudge, not the boiled lollies or imported sweets etc, just the fudge! A Spoonfull of Sugar is on to something and I need to investigate further...more "research"is no doubt needed! (sorry hips)
I cannot remember making you watch dirty dancing at all.... that movie totally blows. Whilst I share your appreciation for a good dance off, there's no way that step up is a good movie at all! Totes hils!
ReplyDeleteyou did at one of your gammin girl sleep over things!
ReplyDeleteLies!
ReplyDeleteno not lies!!!
ReplyDeleteI have seen another one not on your list, I think it was called "Make it Happen." It was kind of halfway between Coyote Ugly and Center Stage, which means it was shit.
