Life, Miles Davis, Music, Quotes, Style 12 Great Musical Performances from Mediocre Movies
Rob Dean On Friday, June 24, 2011 at 2:00PM 
Movies are baffling. Sometimes they are good. Sometimes they are less than good. And sometimes, in those less than good movies, lie some exquisite gems. Today's list are the 12 great - genuinely great, not in an ironic way - musical performances from some less than good movies. The rest of the movie was shite, but for these few glorious beats it was a promising world indeed.
Filled with good choreography, some catchy tunes and people very much committing to the spectacle in an otherwise unremarkable film - these performances deserve some recognition and love.
12. "Prom Tonight" from Not Another Teen Movie
Actually, this movie isn't that bad. It's not good, so it fits in with the defined parameters, but it definitely has a lot of good moments and makes some nice observations about teen movies. Although I fear it's easily lumped in with Epic Movie, Date Movie, Superhero Movie, etc. but it actually has a plot and jokes and not just an ADHD level of references strung together.
OMG. O...M...G...

Sorry, folks. I feel like absolute shit and am having problems looking at the screen. Everything else will continue as scheduled and I'll put up 2 "Missing Reels" columns next week.
I know, Bunk; I'm disappointed, too.

Rob Dean On Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 12:30PM I, like many other people, immediately loved this video of the "world's most depressed cat."
But I realized it was missing one thing: a kickass soundtrack. Behold my three alternatives:
