Rollerball bad? Can't agree with you there. But then I am amused by the pacification of the masses by the "gladiators" of sport.

The original Rollerball is awesome.
Especially with a good sound system The remake is beyond bad. Just bloody awful. Has a 15 minute sequence filmed in night vision.

Fargo. I sat through 45 minutes and didn't laugh once. Black comedy? Uhhhhh, sure, OK.... And the "Minnesota accents" were atrocious.
Phantasm. So bad, it was funny.

alexander italian job remake the morning after fast and furious (all of em) Alfy remake AI that recent WW1 airplane movie in general , i hate most recent movies because of the CGI gone over the top...especially true for all the stinking remakes, and even more so if it's a remake of a Michael Caine movie...

Saw "shes the man" on the airplane, made me want to ask for a parachute.
I don't remember the name of it but one of the SNL stars did a movie where he was an ultra rich kid who got drunk all the time and chased a giant penguin... that was a stinker.

John Travolta made a real stinker called Battlefield Earth. I think that was the title.

so did the fight scenes... to bloody much. have you ever seen anyone move like that?? breaking the lance with a swing of his shield you try breaking a lance with a shield... the movie could have been great, by Hollywood had to put in some Matrix effects in the mix... looks more like ballet then a fight i'm pretty sure that nobody in those days , fougt anything like that... the Myths and Legend of Achillis described how he could not be kileld, and his only weak spot was his heel.. but they did not describe that he fought like a ballerina/fairy...

Lets face it...the list of GOOD movies would be much shorter. Hollyweird is wondering why ticket sales are off? Uh...just maybe it's the lack of product quality?

"Be Cool" the follow up to rather good (from what I can remember) Get Shorty, sucked very, very hard indeed.
I do wonder if any of the producers having sat through the test screening didn't think to themselves "that is *****, can we really get away with releasing this?" |

Maybe that's why they call them entertainment and not documentaries.
I don't really care if a movie is accurate, as long as it's entertaining. When a so called documentary gets it wrong, that's when I start yelling at the TV. Although I still don't get that Napolean dynamite. No entertainment value there, at least not for me. Fargo grew on me. Last edited by sammyg2; 10-28-2006 at 11:26 AM.. |

well , i don't find it entertaining to look at things who are not possible according to real life Physics...
take teh first Indiana Jones Movie the stunts looked believable , why , because somebody actually did them, the fancy effects were kept for the supernatural things... like the opening of the Ark.. if they would make that movie now, the same stunts would look wrong , why, because they would be done in CGI, and it would be exagerated... i think the closest thing to I J would be the Mummy or the Scorpion King 2 movies trying to recapture the IJ success, neither comign even close to Indiana Jones... Brandon Frasier wasn't bad, but he's no Harrison Ford

It was so over the top at times I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a comedy or not.
