D'Artagnan Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The Astronaut's Wife : Although the premise was lame, the acting was not good, and I was supposed to act bored while watching it, to be politically correct, I liked this movie. Cypher and Equilibrium : After the Matrix's success, along came a plethora of mindless clones, of which were Cypher and Equilibrium, bullshit pseudo-intllectual sci-fi movies. I thought these two in particular were pretty good, though. Resident Evil series : What's not to love about Milla Jovovich whupping zombie ass while wearing a miniskirt ? Con Air : Everyone said it sucked, I thought it was badass. Street Fighter (the movie) : Just kidding, this one really sucked ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 COBRA with Stallone...with crappy lines like "Crime's a disease. I'm the cure", its definitely a stupid movie. But it still can entertain me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 It's an odd thread premise, because if I liked it, I don't consider it bad. Anyway, I guess in the spirit of the thread, a lot of people think Zoolander is colossally stupid, while I think it's one of the funniest movies ever. For example, Roger Ebert gave it ONE STAR! His review went on and on about it being politically incorrect. I mean, we're talking about a movie spoofing the fashion industry starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Farrell - how politically correct can it be? Other people I know think it's awful too, but I think it's comic genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I hate Stiller and especially Farrell. btw, I generally hate movie critics. To me they often come across as arrogant. I didn't read Ebert's review of Zoolander that you mentioned. But I can imagine what it'd say. Really, who cares if critics give a movie 1 star or 5?! If YOU like it then that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowtothesky Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I have heard several people tell me they didn't like this movie, but I think it is one of the best comedies I have ever seen. "Almost Heroes", directed by Christopher Guest. Here are some funny scenes from it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care who the hell they put in a miniskirt, those movies tarnished a great franchise and just sucked in general. As for Con Air, well, it's badass. And I'll add... Goodburger to the list. The pinnacle of cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I recently watched the documentary, "Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan." I wouldn't say it was bad. It was unique. More of a mindfuck film, which I like. But still... this documentary is not for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdogged Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I loved "The Cable Guy" with Jim Carey and Mathew Broderick even though it was badly panned. I liked it so much because I have met people that reminded me of the Jim Carey's character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It excels at what it does, and is faithful to its source material. 300 is pretty much the flick every entertainment/combat-laden "epic" wishes it was.

Yea i KNOW! Also, not the mention the fact that the blue/green screen effects in that movie were awful. Here's how I've always described Mortal Kombat : Annihilation - it's like watching a 90 minute episode of the Power Rangers. The FIRST movie was pretty damn decent. The acting was actually pretty good, for a VIDEO GAME-based movie...the story was cool, the effects were cool...and NOBODY other than Christopher Lambert should play Rayden. The dude who played him in the sequal...Ugh! Edited March 25, 2008 by ALifeson85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
