Nice summation of a horrbile movie.
AI was Leonard-Pinth Garnell bad.
Nicholas Cage wasn't in Broken Arrow, but you have reminded me of a truly horrible film. It had Travolta and Cage (I think?) and was called "Face/Off" (I think?) where they change faces somehow. I've tried to forget it, so the details are very vague.
Aw cmon! Mars Attacks is incredibly funny...I'm series!
You haven't seen a bad movie if you have not experienced this gem!

Class 2: "Planet of the Apes" from 4 years ago. I thought it was just terrible, but I stayed because I was really pregnant and it was the last movie I was going to see for quite sometime. The Matrix sequels were horrible but at least I saw them on cable.
Class 3: "Pet Semetary" not that it was bad but I am not a horror movie type of person and I left after the boy got hit by the truck. I just couldn't take it.
Let me also say that my husband is a very gifted movie goer. He is consistently able to fall asleep during the promos. We do not go to movies anymore. He did take our son to see Shrek 2 and Scooby Doo Doo 2. He will agree to take the kids to see those because they are short and he doesn't sleep through those (that I know of.)
WOTW is easily one of the 5 est films SS has ever made. Background story wasn't the point. Tension was.
Sid and Nancy was great, good acting, good directing by Alex Cox, but not a movie you want to see over and over. (Nancy screaming Siiiiiid! is grating!)
should be 'best'
I apologize. It was "Face/Off" that I was referring too.
Class II: Chariots of Fire and Room with a View. How either of these movies won AA's is a mystery to me. Also, anything by Woody Allen after Annie Hall.
Face Off was a blast! It was a fantasy directed with bravura by the same guy who did Broken Arrow (John Woo)
It was Christian Slater with Travolta, not Cage, who manages to be in cheesey movies a lot too. Howie Long was in it as well. Yes, I do have too much time on my hands.
Class 3: "I Heart Huckabees". Maybe I'm not existential enough, but it seemed to be 2 hours of long-winded, self-indulgent, faux-intellectual tripe.
Not Nick Cage -- Howie Long. And that alone should have warned you to stay away.
Movies misrepresented by their trailers: The village.
I, and several others, didn't go see it because we thought it was a horror flick.
I saw it a few weeks ago on DVD and really enjoyed it. It's much more a psychological suspense film and a beautiful movie, with lovely music and art direction.
Yeah, I had tension all right. Praying to God it would end soon. I mean how much sh*t can happen to one guy in one day.
How bout this category- "The Date Killer". This is a movie that is so bad, you feel guilty that your date paid 8.50 for you to see it, and what makes the situation "killer" is that they recommended something else but deferred to your "good" judgment. Three come to mind:
Event Horizon
Titan AE
Eight Crazy Nights
Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan seem to indicate otherwise. If it's a good movie they will watch. I sure did.
IMO, WWII was the biggest single event that ever occurred.
