I liked McAvoy as a faun in the chronicles of Narnia.

A superhero? I think he'd get blown alway by the first strong wind to come along.

Thanks for the review. You're a darling.

I don't get to many movies these days, so your review keeps me from seeing even more needless stuff.

Last movie I saw at the movie theater was Prince Caspian. Took my youngest daughter. She has a crush on one Peter. (William Mosley)

I had more fun watching her. ; )

No one here has any inkling of the all time worst movie ever. Should you ever be presented with the opportunity to see “Even Cowgirls Get the Blues,” run for the nearest exit.

You know, that's one of the few movies with Keanu in it that I haven't seen. I'll generally sit through anything to look at him. But thanks for the warning.

Yes. A loom. Did I mention it's stupid?

Hand loom, or power? 4-shaft or 8-shaft? Synthetic yarn????

I don’t know - I got dragged to see “Reality Bites” by my gf at the time, and I was ready to puy a knitting needle through my brain about 20 minutes in. What a waste of celluloid!

I do like the part where Ethan Hawke tells Winona Ryder that her dress looks like a doily.

Somebody owes me for watching that horrible movie. They don't just owe me for the time I wasted, the time and energy spent sitting in disbelief and breathing while a part of my life was wasted! No, the fact that I actually remember some of that movie means that there is brain capacity that's being used by that movie that could be put to far better use. Somebody owes me for either the space those memories are taking up, or they need to give me a method for removing those memories!

"Flashdance," 1984.

Hell, I dunno. It’s a loom. A big, huge loom. The Loom of Doom. In fact, I think they actually called it that, or I might have just seen it on IMDb.

We saw it yesterday, and it was just good, mindless FUN. Sorry, but if I went for deep meanings in movies, I’d never go to anything. But there was lotsa gratuitous shooting, car chase scenes and too many people with G-d complexes deciding who lives and who dies.

My biggest problem was the way they treated the rats, but that’s just me.

Aside from Morgan Freeman’s silly rant before the climax, it left out much of the usual “Leftist/Marxist Government=GOOD, Right-wing, gun-toting, knuckle-dragging corporate weenies=BAD” that is infesting everything out of Holly-weird these days.

Yeah, I wasn’t happy about the rat-bombs either. I used to have a pet rat when I was a teenager. She was black and white, her name was Bo, and she used to ride around on my shoulder. Needless to say, I was the creepy girl with the thick glasses. LOL!

I had pet rats growing up - great little pets!

I think they’re pretty cool. I also raised an abandoned baby possum. They are WAY cool. You just put two water dishes out and they’ll use one as a toilet. Very easy clean up. Of course, they aren’t the friendliest critters. But they’re cool.

"The Wanted"?

Before you review a movie, make sure you get the title right.
