It seems just like yesterday that we were all having fun reading everyone's posts during the CiMBA's sponsored Blogathon covering the great films of 1939. That was so much fun that the CiMBA is hosting another Blogathon in just a few days where CiMBA members will be reviewing their favorite Guilty Pleasure film, regardless of the era.
I'm really looking forward to this one and reading the reviews of the films everyone chose as some are films I've never even heard of while others are fantastically campy. Below are the CiMBA members who will be participating along with their site links and the films they will be reviewing, discussing. I hope everyone of my site followers will return for the Guilty Pleasures Blogathon as well as visit each site and leave a comment. I chose the original King Kong but to mix it up I'll be doing the colorized version which is such a fun film with it's early special affects. (I know, I know, I went nuts on this choice, really going out on a limb) Ha Ha! Well, at least I didn't say "Willy Wonka" or "Blue Lagoon". Hey, maybe we can have a Blogathon where we write about a film that was so bad we walked out of the theater. (Sorry "Road To Wellville" and "The Body Guard" that would be you two). See, King Kong doesn't sound so bad after all.
You can visit the CiMBA site LINK HERE for details or return here for the site links listed below and the films being reviewed during the three days. So without further ado let's see which films my fellow member's consider their guilty pleasures.

Page, as if having you back for the CMBA Guilty Pleasures Blogathon wasn't already a cause for joy and delight in itself, you sweetened the pot with oodles of fabulous posters! Great job, Page -- this will surely be one of the most enjoyable Blogathons yet!
ReplyDeleteDorian,
ReplyDeleteThanks and it better be a good one because I need to punch myself for doing ANOTHER monkey film. I think you're right about it being a good one and then there's Becks writing about Sex AND Reefer! woo hoo one for the record books.
