A National Travesty

I'd just like to point out a major problem I have with this week's Entertainment Weekly. Now, I usually really like EW- they have great writing and the features are interesting. I also thoroughly enjoy the music writers over there. But today, in their feature "The Top 25 Worst Sequels Ever Made", the mag made a fatal error in my mind.

How could you name "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" in that category. And at #11 nonetheless!What woman doesn't wish she could move to Havana (well maybe not there, hello Castro!), fall in love with Diego Luna (smokin' hottttt) and then dance like she's a sexy bitch after being advised to do so by a sweaty and old Patrick Swayze? Point being, this movie inspired yours truely to find her inner sexpot and dance! dance! dance! (as illustrated in the photo below- that's my DD:HN dance move from this summer)
And so, EW, I won't turn my back on you, but you have a lot of apologizing to do.
(ps.. who knew there was a Caddyshack II AND a Teen Wolf Too?!)

Caddyshack 2 is genius and stars one of my faves Jonathan Silverman, who sports a Hawaiian print shirt almost the entire movie. And you know how I feel about those...

In my humble opinion the most absurd sequel ever made was Weekend at Bernie's 2. How can you make a sequel about a dead guy? It does however star jonathan silverman.
