This week's theme is: Spoofs / Satires / Mocumentaries


Awesome theme for this week! I love watching movies that are satires or spoofs of various other movies or topics and I tend to watch a lot of movies in that nature!  So, I will be listing some of my favorite spoof movies ever made!

1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table embark on a surreal, low-budget search for the Holy Grail, encountering many, very silly obstacles.

Oh man! I remember watching this movie quite a bit in school!  I just loved the way that this movie spoofed the King Arthur mythos and there were so many hilarious scenes in this movie, including the scene where the Black Knight constantly gets his limbs cut off!

2. Hot Fuzz

A skilled London police officer is transferred to a small town with a dark secret.

Oh my god! I just loved this movie when it first came out!  I loved the way that the film spoofed the police thriller genre and I loved all the characters in this film!

3. Kung Fu Hustle

In Shanghai, China in the 1940s, a wannabe gangster aspires to join the notorious "Axe Gang" while residents of a housing complex exhibit extraordinary powers in defending their turf.

This is seriously one of my all-time favorite foreign films and I just loved the way that the spoofed the Kung Fu genre by having the characters perform skills in a "Looney Tunes" way!

Thursday Movie Picks #30: Seven Deadly Sins Edition - Gluttony

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: Seven Deadly Sins Edition - Gluttony!
Now, I tend to watch a lot of movies that dealt with food since I'm a huge foodie fan!  But, there were a couple of films that I've seen that dealt with the subject of gluttony and often has negative consequences for the people getting involved with it.  So, here are some movies I've seen that dealt with gluttony!

1. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

A poor but hopeful boy seeks one of the five coveted golden tickets that will send him on a tour of Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory.

I remembered watching this movie a lot when I was little and one of the scenes that I remembered so much was the scene of Augustus Gloop falling into the chocolate river and being sucked up into the tubes!  This movie pretty much explains what happens when you let gluttony get the best of you!

2. Spirited Away

During her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches, and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.

Oh man!  This movie used to scare me to death when I first saw it!  Even though the scene where Chihiro's parents were transformed into pigs kicked off the plot, that wasn't the scene that scared me.  It was the scene that featured a mysterious spirit called No-Face eating up the workers that freaked me out.

3. Animal Farm

A successful farmyard revolution by the resident animals vs. the farmer goes horribly wrong as the victors create a new tyranny among themselves.

Even though the majority of this movie is about the pigs trying to rule Animal Farm with an iron fist, there is a bit of gluttony involved with the pig characters as they hogged (see what I did there) most of the food from the other farm animals, showing their cruel nature.
