Hey! Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks where you get to share your movie picks for each topic presented every Thursday!  Based on the theme presented each week, you can pick up to 3 to 5 movies and explain why you picked those movies! This meme is being hosted by Wandering through the Shelves!

This week's theme is: Television Edition: Scores and Theme Songs (WEIRDEST)!

So, this week's theme is once again about TV theme songs and scores.  Because this blog is dedicated to everything weird, I went with the three weirdest sounding theme songs that I have ever heard!

1. Rugrats

RUGRATS THEME SONG

Now, this theme song might not sound too weird for most people, as this show is about babies, so of course you're going to have a baby sounding theme song to this series.  But, the xylophones accompanying this theme song gave this theme song an odd yet unique sounding edge! 

2. Bobby's World

BOBBY'S WORLD THEME SONG

Not only did this have one of the weirdest intros in children's television, but it has a nice spacey feel to the theme music that really made this theme song seem out of this world!

3. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

FOSTER'S HOME FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS

As it's a show about imaginary friends, of course it would have a weird sounding theme song.  This theme song seems to have a 1920s aesthetic to it as you can hear the kazoo playing in the background!

Weirdest Movie Blogathon - My List!

 

Hey everyone!  I just recently created a new blogathon called "Weirdest Movies Blogathon" where you get to list the weirdest movies you have ever seen!  If you want to know the rules of this blogathon, then click HERE.

So, here's my 5 weirdest movies that I have ever seen (so far):

1)  Beetlejuice ~  MY REVIEW

I always loved this movie and this is seriously one of the weirdest horror comedies that I have ever seen!  Giant sandworms, travelling between the world of the living and dead?  Being possessed to dance to the "Banana Boat Song?"  All of that weirdness in this movie!

2)  James and the Giant Peach ~ MY REVIEW

The fact that this movie is about a young boy going on an adventure with giant bugs and travels on a giant peach makes this one of the oddest fantasy films that I have ever seen!

3. Mirrormask ~ MY REVIEW

Another bizarre fantasy film that has some of the strangest creatures that I have ever seen on film, especially those sphinx cats!

4. Sorry to Bother You

This is probably one of my most favorite movies in recent years that's actually weird!  So many weird moments throughout this film such as flying office appliances, a girlfriend whose ear rings constantly change and a shocking and weird twist in the plot!

5.  Monkeybone ~ MY REVIEW

Not my favorite movie, but you have to admit that the visuals in this movie are downright bizarre and awesome to look at!

Thursday Movie Picks #52: Psychological Thrillers

Hey! Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks where you get to share your movie picks for each topic presented every Thursday!  Based on the theme presented each week, you can pick up to 3 to 5 movies and explain why you picked those movies! This meme is being hosted by Wandering through the Shelves!

This week's theme is: Psychological Thrillers!

If there's a set of films that I always enjoyed, it's psychological thrillers!  I always loved watching movies where we get inside the characters' heads and see how certain events affect them emotionally and physically.  So, I picked out three psychological thrillers that have a horror edge to them for this week's theme!

1. Rosemary's Baby

A young couple trying for a baby move into a fancy apartment surrounded by peculiar neighbors.

I remembered watching this movie years ago and I was actually shocked at the psychological angle this movie had with the protagonist trying to figure out if her neighbors are apart of a satan worshipping who want to take her baby away from her.  It's definitely an intense psychological thriller with a horror edge!

2. Carrie (1976)

Carrie White, a shy, friendless teenage girl who is sheltered by her domineering, religious mother, unleashes her telekinetic powers after being humiliated by her classmates at her senior prom.

This is yet another horror movie with a psychological angle.  Even though  most people remembered this movie for Carrie's rampage during her prom night, the movie dealt with issues like bullying and how that can have an emotional scar on the victim.

3. The Shining

A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where a sinister presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from both past and future.

Probably my all-time favorite horror movie that has psychological themes.  The fact that this film hinges on whether or not the things that Jack sees are in his head or the effects of the ghosts in the hotel is what made this movie so creepy to watch!

Thursday Movie Picks #51: TV Edition-Opening Title Sequence (WEIRDEST)

Hey! Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks where you get to share your movie picks for each topic presented every Thursday!  Based on the theme presented each week, you can pick up to 3 to 5 movies and explain why you picked those movies! This meme is being hosted by Wandering through the Shelves!

This week's theme is: Opening Title Sequence - TV Edition (WEIRDEST)!

Oh my goodness!  This week's theme is like PERFECT for this blog!  As you may know, I tend to review lots of weird movies and TV shows on this blog.  So, I decided to go with the five WEIRDEST TV openings that I have ever seen!

1. Monty Python's Flying Circus

MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS THEME SONG

The original surreal sketch comedy showcase for the Monty Python troupe.

I remembered watching this show back in the day and remembered just how WEIRD this show was!  So of course, the opening for the series was weird as well, especially with that jerky animation that the show is well known for!

2. Pee Wee's Playhouse

PEE WEE'S PLAYHOUSE THEME SONG

Pee-Wee Herman and his friends have wacky, imaginative fun in his unique playhouse.

I saw a few episodes of "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" when I was little and man, was this show REALLY WEIRD!  Even though there were a lot of things that was weird about this show, the weirdest thing about this show was the opening theme song as it clocked in over 2 minutes and it showcased all of the bizarre objects that live inside Pee-Wee's playhouse!  I will admit that the talking furniture in this show had always disturbed me.

3. Beetlejuice (Cartoon Series)

BEETLEJUICE CARTOON SERIES THEME SONG

Adventures of the ghostly con-artist and his 12-year-old pal, Lydia.

I used to watch this cartoon all the time when I was little, although I was absolutely terrified of it (just like how I was terrified of the live action movie that inspired this series).  But what always terrified me about this series was the opening theme song as there's loads of creepy imagery jumping on the screen.  However, I chose the original intro of this series since it was much weirder and creepier than the second version that I grew up watching.

4. The Angry Beavers

THE ANGRY BEAVERS THEME SONG

The wacky and sometimes surreal adventures of Norbert and Daggett Beaver.

Oh man!  I loved this show when I was growing up and it still holds up to this very day!  One of the things that I loved most about this show was the weird yet colorful opening of Daggett and Norbert dancing in a surreal background that's constantly moving around!

5. Ghost Whisperer

GHOST WHISPERER THEME SONG

A newlywed with the ability to communicate with the earthbound spirits of the recently deceased overcomes skepticism and doubt to help send their important messages to the living and allow the dead to pass on to the other side.

 

I remembered watching this show a lot when I was little and I loved the creepy supernatural things going on in this show!  But what always stood out to me about this show was the weird and creepy opening.  It just screams to you that this show is going to involve lots of creepy stuff (and it did) as well as some sad things.

Thursday Movie Picks #50: Fake Relationships

Hey! Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks where you get to share your movie picks for each topic presented every Thursday!  Based on the theme presented each week, you can pick up to 3 to 5 movies and explain why you picked those movies! This meme is being hosted by Wandering through the Shelves!

This week's theme is: Fake Relationships!


Now, I usually don't watch a lot of romantic movies, but I have watched many romance films that dealt with couples faking a relationship to impress their parents or to move up the ladder in their lives, only to realize that they actually care about the person they were faking the relationship with.  So, here are a couple of romance films where the couples fake their relationships that I have seen so far!

1. The Proposal

A pushy boss forces her young assistant to marry her in order to keep her visa status in the U.S. and avoid deportation to Canada.

This movie is one of my all-time favorite romantic comedies ever made!  Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock's chemistry with each other is fantastic and hilarious and of course, Betty White is one of the best highlights in the film!  I just loved the comedic moments and drama this film had and it's become a favorite movie in our family! 

2. Holiday in Handcuffs

A struggling artist working as a waitress kidnaps one of her customers to bring home and meet her parents at Christmas.

Another favorite movie in my family, Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez's chemistry with each other was hilarious to look at and I actually found the plot about the main character kidnapping one of her customers to make him her fiancée just to impress her family to be really hilarious! 

3. Borrowed Hearts

Kathleen's a hard-working single mother, who's saving to buy a house for herself and her daughter, Zoe.  Sam's a businessman who has to pretend he has a family in order to close a deal with the mysterious Javier Del Campo.  Sam owns the company that Kathleen works for, and as her boss, manages to convince her to help him out. But Del Campo is more than he seems, and it just might be Zoe who's making the real deal to get a new home for herself, her mother, and Sam.

I remembered watching this movie a bit when I was younger, but it's been a while since I last saw this movie, so I don't really remember much about this movie.  All I remembered was that my mom really enjoyed this movie and I did managed to see bits and pieces of this movie.  Definitely planning on re watching this movie soon!
