I never saw the original - so I guess I got nothing to compare it to.
But I thought the acting, plot and special effects and filmatography were all fine.
1. Blair Witch Project....
I giggled my butt off until I realized that the stupid group of kids freaking out in the WOODS (ooooh, scary--NOT) was supposed to be a serious movie.
OK, yeah. Sure.
2. I rarely go to or pay for movies, so I can't think of one that I was sorry I went to....HOWEVER, add "Van Helsing" to the "I laughed because it was so bad" catagory.
3. The Missing has got to be THE worst movie I have EVER EVER seen. I knew I hated it because near the end, when it looked like the heroine might die, I was happy...cuz it meant it was about over!
Lastly, I'll have to admit that all the "Room With a View", "Chariots of Fire" etc kind of movies are just my cup of tea. Can watch them over and over.
HOWEVER, I hate nothing more than a 'Godfather' or that type of genre' movie. I just don't get what about that crap is entertaining.
Mystery Men qualifies as a "fun bad" movie, i.e., movies that are so bad, they're actually fun to watch. Clue is another movie that falls into this category.
I enjoyed WOTW (2005). Saw it twice with my son. It's a roller coaster ride.
I don't think you're looking above the neck on her.....so breathing counts as acting with her.
And DDL, well,
in a few movies, I was happy just to look too :)
LOL!
I thought that was the point!
And...
"Show me all the blueprints....show me all the blueprints...show me all the blueprints...show me all the blueprints...show me all the blueprints...show me all the blueprints...show me all the blueprints..."
I liked the movie, and I dislike Leonard DiCaprio, but I do think he is a good actor...I enjoyed "Catch me if you can".
song was better in its original form (pasttime paradise, stevie wonder)
I want my money back.... If only I could get the two hours of my life wasted on this movie back.
Worth seeing once, just for seeing Pia Zadora naked... though that's my Y chromosome speaking, I think.
"Shop smart, Shop S-mart".
"Hey She-bit@h, let's dance."
"Yeah. According to the police, my father came home from work one night and fell down an elevator shaft...onto some bullets."
"He who questions training only trains himself in asking questions."
The Church of Scientology thanks you.
I know Tom Hanks is a liberal, but he generally keeps it out of his public life.
I know Spielberg is a FLAMING liberal, but...I generally like his stuff. Even if it is formulaic, he pushes the right buttons for me.
In any case, I am willing to forgive them both a great deal for making "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers". I thought they treated the themes with great respect without interjecting political BS.
I think that won the worst movie in 25 years by Razzie Awards....LOL! Can you believe that movie was actually a book first? :o
Yes, I genuinely liked Second Hand Lions. Actually I like the kid. He's a great actor and seems pretty down to earth for someone so young in that environment. But he still brings AI to mind whenever I see him. It's sad really.
And yes, Jude Law is lower than Yak puke in my book.
I have to agree with that.
Pia Zadora had the body and the looks for a movie like that.
But no acting skills to speak of.
That reminds me that Hanks quipped to a reporter that he regretted giving Clinton's campaign $10,000, but he retracted the statement a few days later, the Hollywood DNC Mafia must have made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
