Taylor Swift, Janet Jackson and Cody Johnson weren't the only celebrities spotted in New England over the weekend. A Saturday Night Live star was also spotted. He's been filming a movie in Rhode Island, and was seen in Newport on Saturday. Kenan Thompson, who's been filming Good Burger 2 made a surprise delivery to Newport Police on Saturday morning.
The filming of Good Burger started on Thursday with stars Kenan and Kel Mitchell in North Providence, at the site of a former Friendly's restaurant. The 2 actors are back in their roles as Dexter and Ed from the 1997 original Good Burger movie. Early on Saturday morning Good Burger 2's Kenan Thompson made a surprise delivery to Newport police. He showed up with coffee and donuts for the officers!
According to NPD in a Facebook post,"officers were surprised by a couple visitors! Mayor Xay Khamsyvoravong and actor/comedian Kenan Thompson stopped in with some coffee and donuts (yes we really do love coffee and donuts). Thompson is in Rhode Island during the filming of the new Good Burger movie and was nice enough to stop and hang out some of the guys and girls from NPD!"
A number of big films have been made in Rhode Island, like Me, Myself and Irene, starring Jim Carey. 27 Dresses with Katherine Heigl and James Marsden was filmed in the 401, as well as Meet Joe Black, starring Brad Pitt. And here are a bunch of movies made in Mass:
The Oscars have come and gone, but we still have the movies on our mind. Let's dig into this Top 10 list of movies filmed in Massachusetts.
The list comes courtesy of BetMassachusetts. They titled it Top 10 Massachusetts Movies: Best Movies Filmed in Massachusetts. Pretty straightforward, right? But you might ask: how did they come up with this particular Top 10? What's the methodology? It's quite simple. They used the IMDB ratings of the films, alongside the Rotten Tomatoes audience score, Rotten Tomatoes critics score, Box Office tally, and Oscar recognition. In other words, the data is sound.
We'll get into the Top 10 below, but I wanted to share some thoughts first. I like this list because the film you'd expect to sit atop the Top 10 actually lands in second place. It's always a treat when you get an unexpected outcome like that. What's more, the Top 10 consists primarily of films released in the last 20 years. That's refreshing. Usually, with a "Top 10 Movies" list you end up with a lot of older fare. Which is fine. But again, the treat of the unexpected outcome makes this list a standout for me.
A Top 10 List of Movies Filmed in Massachusetts
One more note before we dive in: the movie that landed at number three is a must-see. It was released just a few years ago and, when it was, I had friends and family members harping on me to watch it. I put it off and put it off and, when I finally got around to it, I was blown away. It's not often you have a film with a protagonist who you're rooting for but who, at the same time, is so damn unlikable.
Take a look at the list and let us know your faves that were left off on the ROCK 92.9 Facebook and Twitter. Maybe we can make our own Top 10 list together!
