Agreed. There was nothing positive in that movie, not plot, not acting, not characterization, certainly not production quality.

I was dissapointed. Another black film bites the dust.

I also like Howard the Duck. I think it's one of those movies you have to watch for the first time when you're really young, so then it has the nostalgia factor working for it.

Well once again reiterating on the Punch Drunk Love. Really didn't care for that movie. A couple more to add to the list:
Emperor's New Groove (I love cartoons to death and all but this one just annoyed me)
Dreamcatcher (saw it for free~ my friend's cousin works for Warner Brothers and he got us tickets to the preview so at least I didn't have to pay for those wasted hours of my life)

Oh, yeah, the first part was good...but I'm still trying to figure out what happened to the rest of it. They must've been trying to make two movies in one.

Water World is horrible, too...that's about all I can say about that one.

And yes, will someone please tell us in graphic detail just how bad Gigli is? Please don't make me have to watch it myself to find out.

Zoolander

AOcutiePi4ever 08-22-2003 03:46 PM

I can only think of Snake Eyes right now. I went ahead and rented it just because Nicholas Cage is in it but I didn't care too much for the movie and the storyline.

Oh man, how could I forget Snake Eyes? It was going good up until they kill the suspense damn near in the middle of the movie by revealing the mystery already.

Funny, according to www.moviemistakes.com:

The original ending planned was a massive tropical storm/water based chase scene. However, this was decided to be too expensive, and was switched for a cheaper, and some say weaker ending. Nonetheless, in Nicholas Cage's final speech, he says "I keep thinking about that tunnel, and what would have happened if I'd drowned." This makes no sense, given that in the new ending he came nowhere near a tunnel or drowning.

Yeah, I haven't seen Howard the Duck in a long time... loved it when I was a child though!

sigmanuzk 08-23-2003 02:01 AM

I used to like howard the duck when i was little but i tried watching it a couple of years back and it was horrible, watch it now and then tell me how much you like it, i think your minds will be changed.

Just about every steven segal movie.

Eight crazy nights.

Slackers.

Earnest Goes to or does anything.

Meatballs 2 i think, it's the one with the teenage guy who tries to get laid and has a dead porno star for a guardian angel, that one was sooooo bad.

Stop or my mom will shoot.

Scream 3

From Justin to Kelly?

the movie about PAT from SNL.

Kazaam

The master of disguise.

Rocky and bullwinkle

Mac and me (damn ET rip-off)

Uh, I have seen it recently. I bought the VHS at Wal-Mart for like $3 a couple years back. It's really bad, but I still like it, hence the "nostalgia" comment.

moe.ron 08-24-2003 02:30 PM

Lucy Liu & Antonio Bandera's Ballastic. That was bad.

A Guy Thing

Actresses were ok (julia stiles and selmar blair) but the plot was sooo predictable!

Cereal Mom with Ricky Lake and Kathleen Turner

Nice screen name. A Piers Anthony fan? I haven't read his books in ages...

I love Jason Lee so I really wanted that movie to be good. But after seeing Stealing Harvard I lost all hope.

It's an interesting phenomenon. Jason Lee and Ben Affleck are ONLY GOOD IN KEVIN SMITH MOVIES (Good Will Hunting counts because Kevin Smith was an exec producer)! Why is this? I do not know. But anyone who has seen Pearl Harbor, Kissing A Fool, Armageddon, Reindeer Games (which would be no one I'm sure) or Bounce (also no one) can tell you that it is true.

I visited my parents this weekend, and my 16-year-old brother insisted that we rent They because he thinks it's such a great movie. Yeah, I thought it was super cheesy, and didn't enjoy watching it because I hate movies where things jump out at you all the time.

moe.ron 07-10-2005 01:24 PM

Have to add Gothika and War of the Worlds.

I agree with you somewhat on War of the Worlds. I saw it last night. I really liked the first hour, but the second hour was awful. That is weird cause the most climatic part is gone and you are left with a movie that is trying to find a good place to end. Don't get me started on the ending. Blech.
I heard Steven Spielberg say that he started filming the movie last August. Way too quick. He needed to spend another few months on that ending. :rolleyes:



Another movie to add to the list...."A.I." :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Just bad. Really disappointing for a Spielberg movie.

Dionysus 07-10-2005 02:04 PM

None of them...these days. I can't remember the last time I watched a good movie.

Private I 07-10-2005 03:27 PM

The Big Bounce was on HBO a while back. I kept trying to give it a try but I wanted to burn every ounce of my skin off every time I attempted watching it. What sadist made that? He should be tarred then feathered.

BOO to whoever mentioned My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Although it helps to come from that sort of background cos you know ALL of the jokes (Windex isn't one of them although apparently cognac or plum brandy cures anything).

WAR OF THE WORLDS
Hide and Seek
The Pacifier

ambición6 07-10-2005 11:24 PM

Do not waste your money on Dark Water ! ugh it was the Ring all over again and it wasnt even scary. i dont get why it got such good reviews?!?

Give me my money back!!!!!

christiangirl 07-11-2005 03:36 AM

Under special conditions: the final destinations movie

The first should not be shown during a flight and the second should not be shown during a drive. I was on a bus trip and they showed us FD2. Can you imagine all those people riding a bus on the highway watching a movie that opened with a 14 car pile-up? I almost cried, it was so awful, we were quiet the whole way.

Oh, and Cabin Fever. That was THE WORLD'S DUMBEST movie, I was so disappointed, the only funny part was at the very end as the credits were rolling.

tnxbutterfly 07-11-2005 07:05 PM

Mr and Mrs Smith

Saw this movie Friday night and was seriously tempted to ask for my money back after

YES! That movie was AWFUL. There's another 'scary' one that came out and it was pretty horrible too...THEY. I'm a chicken, and it was terrible!

Kevin 07-11-2005 09:32 PM

Fantastic 4 was ghey.

copacabana 07-11-2005 09:50 PM

Two words: Club Dread. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm not sure if they were trying to make a comedy scary or a horror movie comical, but either way it just didn't work. It was so disappointing considering I loved Supertroopers...

Stef the Pef 07-12-2005 02:39 AM

Star Wars Episode I: I like these movies, but Jar Jar and the little kid make it unbearable. They should've honestly done three hours of Darth Maul, and kept him for later movies instead of stupid freakin' Jar Jar.</nerd rant>
Constantine: not even pretty Keanu could save it.
Pride and Prejudice: not necessarily bad, just highly, highly overrated and I got really sick of chicks in my dorm last year who could quote the freakin' uber-long A&E version word-for-word
Van Helsing: like SW Ep. I, it's only good for MST3K parties with other nerds who think it's a lame movie and there's endless fun to be had makin' fun of it.
The Village: I couldn't get past the fact that it's a bloody porcupine in a cloak. What the heck?!
Maid in Manhattan: the only entertaining part of the entire movie was the statue's falling-off pecker. The rest was a completely uninspired chick flick, shown against my better judgement on a choir trip bus. Ick.
The Cable Guy: usually, I love Jim Carrey. This movie makes me want to kick him in the happy place, and that's not cool. He's so annoying!

Plus any of those made-for-TV Lifetime movies. I can't stand 'em.

ETA: Just remembered: Land Before Time and Free Willy #1 to infinity...same dull stuff, ninety-seven kazillion times. End the madness!
Plus I could only stomach Titanic once. It wasn't that bad, but it was bad enough for me to only see it once and that's that. Never again.

SW: APM - I think had some redeeming qualities to it, and I really don't see the problem with Jar Jar...REALLY.....

now A&E/BBC version of Pride and Prejudice with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth is a GREAT adaptation to a great novel (one of my favorites, if not my favorite). I've seen many versions of P & P and this is by far the best, the 2nd best is the BBC version of the 80s I believe. This newer version doesn't even appeal to me (coming out in Sept I believe). Don't let some silly girls, ruin a great movie, from one of the best novels ever written.

I don't know, maybe SW: APM is a "see once, on TV or rented" sort of thing because you're right, there were redeeming qualities (really awesome special effects, some pretty good fight scenes, I rate movies like a guy, and of course, Darth Maul, who should've been a better-developed character, IMHO). But even after watching it on rental, it was just like, "huh? so Amidala's in love at first sight with someone who looks half her age? ewwww."

P&P would be okay if you like Jane Austen...however, I'm not that much of a fan...perhaps living near sane people for a year who don't quote it every two seconds (it got almost as bad as Napoleon Dynamite in that respect, ick!) will make me eventually come around to "okay, this isn't all that bad." But for now...no.

KatieKate1244 07-12-2005 08:41 AM

New York Minute. That, and someone has (hopefully) already said it, but it stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and the plot surrounds some girl living with supermodels and they think Jr. killed someone. God, I can't believe the studio that made that actually expected people to like it!

AnonAlumna 07-12-2005 08:47 AM

That's Head Over Heels, and it just happens to be one of my guilty pleasure movies. It cracks me up! :D

Dvyne Evolushun 07-13-2005 02:13 AM

*in my tiniest voice ***
The Beach, Vanilla Sky, and Jeepers Creeper I are some of my favorite movies...http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/1004.gif

Here's my list:

Deuce Bigalow
Freddy vs. Jason
Spice World
Cabin Fever
Blade Trinity (Big disappointment)

Agree with you totally. Dracula is supposed to be the baddest mofo and he got bitch slap. I've herd that Snipes wasn't happy about it and that's why he didn't do that much PR work for it.

Starship Troopers 2. That movie had no redeeming quality whatsoever. Even the nudity scene sucked.
