Summer movie madness
As the Hollywood blockbuster season approaches, Stephanie Curtis, the Movie Maven, joins Midday to discuss the options for theater-goers this summer.
The Movie Maven's 5 guilty pleasures:
1. Never on Sunday -- It's cool to claim Jules Dassin's Rififi is your favorite film. To admit you love this cheesy romance about a prostitute with a heart of gold is not as acceptable.
2. Neptune's Daughter -- It's hard to choose which Esther Williams movie is the most embarrassing to love. I choose this one.
3. National Treasure -- Indiana Jones? Who cares? Give me Ben Gates! I love this film. I wish they would make a new incomprehensible one every year.
4. Kingpin -- Amish jokes. Boob jokes. Farting jokes. I love this movie.
5. Main Event -- Barbra Streisand. Boxing. A perfect marriage.
