Movies you can't stand

-------but they left me feeling cheated of the time wasted in watching them.

The Signal would be the latest example of this. What a total waste of time.

That latest Keanu Reeves flick, (TDTESS), is another one. How can someone do a remake and do it so badly that it is inferior to the original that was made over fifty years previous?

Cloverfield or something like that. I have tried. but as you see; I haven't forgotten this garbage. It was like somebody borrowed a lot of good film ideas and the techniques used in them and then proceeded to reuse them in the stupidest and most insane ways.

Signs (....its about Crop Circles)

Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, Rory Culkin... all this starcast and the outcome is a bag of garbage! I was really frustrated after watching that film.



Eraserhead

Its an old art film, that could well be renamed, Dickhead!



Desperately seeking Susan

Madonna, Rosanna Arquette, Aidan Quinn... the most dull, sorry-ass film ever!

[Creedence]

Well I guess it'd have to be Napoleon Dynamite since I walked out of the theater within the first twenty minutes... that movie is terrible.

Uneccessary (and usually inferior) remakes of classic 4 or 5 star movies!
Uneccessary (and usually inferior) big screen verisons of Classic TV shows!

Eddie Murphy's "Sanitized Family Films"
Steve Martin's "Sanitized Family Films"

Also, the overuse of "hand-held" movie cameras in so many movies and TV shows. Meant to give a film or TV show a "realsitic" or "documentary" look, it is a great tool, but it is being far too often. I hope this "trend" subsides and it used only for certain scenes.

For example, just watch the greatest action sequence ever filmed...the chariot race in Ben-Hur (1959). No hand-helds used in those sequences. The actors, the horses, the chariots supply the excitement...not a herky-jerky camera. Trust me, if they ever remade it today, hand-helds would be very prevelant. Come to think of it, they could not afford to remake it nowadays...it would just be CGI!!!

Surprising how many people don't like Titanic. I'm not a big fan or anything, but I thought it was an okay movie. Everyone's different though, I suppose that's what makes things interesting

Hate to be a boor, but it seems to me that all you are really qualified to say is that the first 20 minutes are terrible.

Hi there.

Bad movies you say?

How about:

Earth vs the spider.
Metal man.
War of the planets
Catwoman - with Halle Barrie.
Dirty - with Cuba Goodings jr.


The first 3 are with unknowns, which are still unknown, no surprize there if you see the movie but don't, waist of time, money and plastic (the dvd) etc.

Catwoman - ok acting at best from a good actress, the cat outfit sucked big time, the whole thing was done half ass.

Dirty - a whole lot of swaring the whole movie long very little content otherwise, feels like some alzeimer cop trying to tell a story of his cop career and mixed everything up.

One would expect much better from actors of Cubas and Halle's calibre.

I liked the "Scary Movie" series. I got quite a few good laughs from them.
