Absolutely. Probably the worst movie I've ever seen.

"Dude Where's My Car" I think still holds that honor.

I saw the sequel in theaters on opening weekend, it's probably the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. I've only seen it once, so I'll give it another try ...... eventually

Yeah that sequel is the worst movie I ever spent money on to see in a theatre and I paid to watch Wonder Woman 1984.

Oof...WW84 and ID4:2?

You've been taken for a couple rides.

It's so bad. The only good part is the end where they left it at a cliffhanger thinking they'll get another one.

Checked out two movies tonight.

First off was Kill a Hindi thriller in the vein of John Wick. Fantastic movie! Lots of violence, gore, and kills. Some unexpected moments, and many great action sequences. It was better than Monkey Man, and actually quite comparable to the John Wick series itself. Less of the 'lore', more of the gore. It has a few of the Bollywood touches, but it's gritty and hints at the caste and traditions of family within India. It has a 90% rating on Rottentomatoes as well. One of the better Hindi movies I've seen.

Next up was Maxxxine. I was a fan of the first two movies, especially X. I didn't love Pearl, but Goth is talented and that movie was memorable. Maxxxine is a mixed bag. I enjoyed the first half of the movie when it's a mystery/detective thriller. There's quite a bit of suspense, and as always the kills were very well done. It's always fun seeing the Hollywood setting (right down to the house from Psycho II). The ending didn't work for me though. It felt rather atypical and something that I've seen multiple times before. I was hoping for a different resolution, and was left disappointed. Goth is great, and it's enjoyable watching Bacon and Esposito chew the scenery. Yet I think I expected more. Worth seeing if you're a fan, but not a high recommendation from me.

I saw Maxxxine last night as well, and I would certainly agree it was a little underwhelming. Definitely the bottom of this trilogy. Thought Kevin Bacons character was extremely cheesy .

2.5/5

Worse than Interview with a Vampire?

Watched the new Beverly Hills Cop movie last night. They really hit the nostalgia buttons hard, especially with the soundtrack. But overall I thought it was pretty enjoyable, and it was fun seeing Axel, Rosewood, and Taggart reunited. I also liked the addition of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who has pretty good chemistry with Eddie. The girl playing Axel’s daughter is also quite good.

You can tell they had a lower budget for this one, and some of the action scenes aren’t great. So I get why they went with Netflix for this. Not sure this would do well in theatres, as it’s clearly made specifically for Gen-Xers who grew up with the original. They’ll never be able to recapture the magic of Cop 1 & 2, but I’d say this one is definitely an improvement over part 3.

Haha, I was 14 and I loved That 70s Show and American pie, so I was there for that movie and I liked it. Probably does not hold up at all.


Fubar is and remains the only movie I've ever walked out of the theater on, went across the hall, watched The Sum of all Fears, happy with my choice to give Fubar the money, happier with my choice to stop watching it, don't really mind that I stole the free viewing from the Sum of All Fears, I think I might have ended up buying the DVD, so they got their money anyways.

[btimbit]

Fubar 2, however, is fantastic

Freddy Got Fingered for me. I made a deal with a buddy; I would watch that and he would watch the Lord of the Rings movies. I know who got the best of that deal.

Many people will say that Kung-Pow: Enter the Fist is the worst movie ever made.

And all of those people would be wrong.

I don't like Tom Green's comedy but for me 'Freddy Got Fingered' was a bit of a watershed moment when I realized that Tom Green essentially stole money from a Film Studio to make a movie he didn't want to make and the whole production was a giant 'middle finger' to the World.

And thats pretty much the only laugh that movie gave me. Because the rest of it was absolutely awful.

Watched Vanilla Sky, what a masterpiece of a film. it's best to go in blind but Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz both give an amazing performance and I never knew Cameron Diaz could scare me like she does in this, probably her best performance. I don't understand why people were luke warm on this film when it came out, but it's aged fantastically in my opinion.
