It’s been a while since Mr. Alex J. Cavanaugh hosted a blogfest. His are always the best.
Everyone has a favorite movie or band that no one else has ever heard about. For whatever reason, they remain undiscovered and underrated. Now is your chance to tell the world about this obscure treasure!
I had to think about this one. I am a trend follower most of the time, but I think I have a couple of unknowns to introduce you to.
If you have some underrated treasures you would like to share, join the blogfest and let us know.
MOVIE – BAND/ARTIST – TV SHOW – BOOK
Post about one or all four – dealer’s choice!
Music:
I reference movies in my writing all the time. It’s rare that I will reference music, but this song fit into my new book, Hope for Her (Hope Series Book #1) perfectly. Vivian Green’s Emotional Roller Coaster
This song get’s me every time I hear it. Too bad she didn’t do more.
Movie:
I love Keanu Reeves, always have and always will. I know he may not have the best acting chops, but there is a reason people still star him in movies. He has a presence. One of my favorite Keanu movies is Street Kings.
Synopsis: LAPD detective Tom Ludlow is a ruthlessly efficient, unorthodox undercover cop. Captain Jack Wander always covers for Tom, as do even his somewhat jealous colleagues. After technically excessive violence against a vicious Korean gang during the liberation of a kidnapped kid sex slave, Tom becomes the target of IA’s hotshot, captain James Biggs, who feels passed over after Wander’s promotion to chief. Tom’s corrupt, disloyal ex-patrol partner Terrence Washington sides with IA but is killed during a shop robbery in Tom’s presence.
Television Show:
Homicide: Life on the Street – A police homicide investigation unit investigates violent crimes in the city of Baltimore.
If your a fan of the original Law & Order and Law & Order SVU, you probably watched Homicide. I can watch these episodes over and over again.

These sound like really great entertainments to follow up on! I love that song.
Hi Dani,
snit it a great song. I been singing it to myself all month since I reference it in my WIP.
I’ve seen Street Kings and I’ve watched Homicide a couple times. Just too many great shows out there.
Thanks for the kind words and participating in my blogfest!
You are welcome Alex. I’ve been reminded of some and introduced to others all day.
I’ve heard of Homicide but never watched it. Didn’t even know that movie existed. I keep coming across things I’ve never heard of today 🙂
Hi Sarah. Me, too. Homicide was where John Munch from Law & Order SVU’s character began and when they cancelled the show, he moved over to SVU.
I’ve not heard of any of these. Thanks for the recommendations!
Hey Margo, you are welcome. I’ve been saying that all day going throughout some of the Underrated posts.
I remember Life on the Street and that TV show though I didn’t watch either. I have a friend who is an insane Reeves fan.
Susan, Do they admit to being fans? haha.
Hello! Thanks for sharing these picks for the Underrated Treasures Blogfest. and I agree, Alex has some great blogfests.
Susanne, the best in the business. Alex is great. Thanks for stopping by.
Street Kings was great. I watched that with my husband when we were first dating, so great memories. Awesome choice!
Hi S.L. Happy I could bring you a good memory. I’ve been doing that all day looking through these Underrated Posts.
I love the song you shared! Vivian Green has an amazing voice! And Street Kings actually helped me with my new novella, 30 Seconds. 🙂
Hey Chrys. Isn’t it a great song? Now I can’t wait to check out your novella. I loved that movie.
Hi Sydney Aaliyah! I absolutely love that song! You’ve picked some great choices for this blogfest. I think I may have watched an episode or two of Homicide, but don’t quote me on that. And yes I will say it, I am a Keanu Reeves fan, ok? You know, Matrix Trilogy, Constantine, and of course, Street Kings fame. LOL. Thanks for participating in the Ninja’s blogfest!
I’ve never seen street kings, and I think I really need to. I love those actors.
I like Keanu Reeves, too! I haven’t seen that film though.
I really like that song. It has me grooving at my desk.
Haven’t watched the movie or TV show, but they sound good. Will try to check them out. Thanks.
