Movies You Hate
 

I don't hate many movies, mainly because I try to avoid bad movies, but here are some that I have seen and hated.
Dukes of Hazzard
Mona Lisa Smile
Anger Management
Duplex
Along Came Polly
Head of State
Envy

Gotta agree with that. Nothing else comes immediately to mind but I don't know or want to know who could have possibly concieved that the concept of Duplex was that of a funny movie.

3 Ninjas High Noon At Mega Mountain

Envy

House of the Dead

BELLY

Lost In Translation has to be the MOST boring film I have ever seen, I hated it because it was the first and only film which I did not watch till the end. I have seen quite a few films recently, but that has to be the most dull piece of rubbish ever, it is not art is is crap.

Funny, I think many of those same things about The Green Mile, which is just a dank, stinking pile of garbage. Dull too, when the horrible acting from the supporting cast isn't annoying me, that is.

To each their own.

Neverending story,napoleon are ****E

Along Came Polly sucked, need to think about others, as i tend to forget them

Batman and Robin - No explanation needed, I hope.

The Phantom of the Opera - We had to turn this one off, which we haven't had to do in a LONG time. Alas, Shame on me for renting another Shumacher turd.

Armageddon - MB, how I hate thee....

Psycho - Remake - Booooooooo

Any film with a has-been Saturday Night Live comedian in it. Some examples:

Dirty Work
It's Pat
Deuce Bigalow:American Gigalo
Anchorman
Stuart Saves His Family
Black Sheep

Man, there are so MANY of these films, and they are all so bad....

ALL of Adam Sandler's films, save Punch Drunk Love
Tommy Boy
A Night at the Roxbury


and on and on and yawn.....

There are a few that actually came out ok, when a guy like Mike Myers was involved. He has actual comedic talent in some ways. Hmm, come to think of it, I haven't seen Austin Powers or Wayne's World in a really long time, so they might suck, and I just don't remember.

I really, really dislike:

Titanic and Gone With the Wind…

I can think of plenty of films which I thought were over-hyped and over-rated, but films I actually hated....

Sex Lives of the Potato Men

Closer

The Hours (whoever it was that said Lost in Translation was boring needs to see the hours...)

The Hours is on my list of movies to see. Everyone else hate it too?

Weird....

I've avoided quite a few of the films on people's lists as, deep down, I knew I'd hate them. ;)

Hate is a strong word, but just about right for Anchorman...

The only thing I've tried harder to like than Gone With The Wind is yogurt, and they both make me gag every time. I'm getting a little better with it... the film, that is.

At least Gone With The Wind doesn't multiply at a furious rate if you place a spoonfull of it into a thermos flask with some warm milk - so be thankful!

You know... I really hadn't thought of it that way.

I might be wrong though, don't think it's ever been scientifically tested...

GWTW, he said trying to get back on topic, is a film I've never watched all the way through. Can't say I liked the fragments that I did see one little bit though.

I only started liking it after I put my feminst glasses on. From that standpoint, it's a great story.

You've got feminist glasses? There's a hundred gags there but I fear a lynching....

Watch it, bub. ;)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Anchorman has some superbly funny moments. I wasnt a fan of the Will until i saw that film. Now i love that ugly funny man.
The Hours is a favourite of mine. An excellantly slow-burning melodrama. Keep it on your list.

As for movies i hate -

Indian in the Cupboard

http://www.technofile.com/images/indian_in_cupboard.jpg

Annoying child in desperate need of corrective oral surgery recieves a cupboard for his birthday (A cupboard?? I mean how EVIL must his parents be?) and he puts a little indian in it and it comes alive. Little boy gurns at said indian whilst it battles with other plastic toys bought to life by the ugly boy playing God. The end.

I agree with your whole post there blib. I think we have alot in common. A cupboard for gods sake? Anchorman is a favourite of mine too, so watch out for the guns, they'll get ya.

Fresh with Sam the man Jackson,
Dante's Peak
Romeo and Juliet- Baz Lurman's effort, one of the few movies I've actually walked out of, before being ushered into Dante's Peak, what a craptacular night that was!!!

Just finished watching " Unleashed " with Jet Li, set in my hometown, so bad I almost threw popcorn all over my lounge before walking out, then I realised I had nowhere else to sleep!!!

I hate Indian in the Cupboard too... and another one I thought of is:

Born on the Fourth of July (Oliver Stone - 1989) is a film I hate tremendously. A horrendously dull piece of ***** film just trying far to hard to accomplish something. Terrible. And far too long of a film, too.

Sin City ~ Way too violent for me. Liked the art and style, but the rest I hated and will never see again.

Sideways ~ At first I was on the fence about this one. After weeks/months of reflection, just the dislike of it remained and my soap box grew...so it's being thrown on my hated list.

The Master of Disguise ~ It was painful sitting through this eventhough my kids lliked it. I really wanted Dana Carvey to do well...but I cringed throughout.

Pokémon: Jirachi - Wish Maker (2004) ~ I could at least sit through the other Pokemon movie's and talk with my kids about it afterwards...but this one was hard to watch. I couldn't wait for it to be over.

I love this movie, I've watched it three times ince I bought it. I don't know why really. I don't think It's the sort of film targetted at me but I just love Paul Giamatti. I really want him to keep getting starring roles and stop with the comedy-sidekick routine. He stole the show in Cinderella Man.

Anyway another film I hate.

I know alot of other people that liked Sideways too. Sorry Mini. There are movies that people are listing that I liked as well, like GWTW.

Tacitus...I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist. ;)

"Your queen is just a pawn with some fancy moves, nothing more."
 

I absolutely LOVE Fresh (1994). Great movie.

http://www.xi-online.nl/i/archief/fresh95.jpg

I've heard alot of people say they didn't like Sideways, but I've never heard any of them explain why.

I was unimpressed with Sideways.

It's OK, but not much more. That it is better than the usual Hollywood claptrap isn't saying much. Just because it's better than My Baby's Daddy, The Whole Ten Yards and Raising Helen isn't anything to get excited about. The acting was fine, but not spectacular. The characters were well-drawn as far as they went, but not nearly enough was done. As for the situational gags, they were few and far between. It could have been a comedic character piece with some real wit and depth, or it could have been an updated fun Screwballer for adults. It's bits of both here and there, but never enough of its own thing, and ultimately unsuccessful. For me. I don't hate it, but I definitely don't think it is among the best films of that or any year.


GRADE: C+

Surprise, surprise...
 

If you have eyes and know hoe to read, (And if you haven't or don't know what the hell you're doing in a forum?) and my profile worked so you can see the movie I most hate of it all.

This movie manage to be the worst and the dumbest movie of all times(because some manage to be dumb but really good like american pie).
I know many can say I didn't get it so I summon thee to answer some questions of mine since for some reason the new threads button isn't working and I can't find a "signs" forum. Here goes:

-The aliens are assumed to be aeons after us in technological advancement so...WHY THE HELL THEY DON'T USE GUNS? The aliens try to enter the guy house by what seems a coal depository, get locked behind doors and use kids as hostages. If they are trying to dominate a planet why they don't brought the heavy firepower?
-Why the aliens can walk without protection gear despite the water in our atmosphere?
-And of course the million dollars question: Why the aliens can't choose a planet with less water to begin with? They could have colonized mars or even a better and less polluted planet in other galaxy...so...they are just dumb?
-The guy's wife is a fortuneteller or a prophet? How she knew what would happen and gave that advices to him?
-And also...why they made signs in the crops? They didn't lands there...and if they did while we weren't looking...for what? Why don't they just bring the planet to it's knees with a death UFO ray like war of the worlds? In which by the way more dumb alien features. This time dying from the zillions of germs in our planet...If we can find some in mars how can't they see ours if they're so advanced? Uh...I guess I strayed from the subject. Forget it

Good Will God Damn Hunting. Wish fulfilment for ********.

Interview With The Vampire was so stupid I nearly went blind, and Breakfast Club made me really want to put my foot through the screen.

:D

:laugh:

:eek: :eek: :eek:
Whaaaaaaaa???
You were a chess club geek, weren't you? ;)

There are SO many bad flicks out there, but only a precious few which I actually hate. That being said - Frippin' Emloyee of the Month & Pet Cemetary II should just die.

And I know it's been mentioned already, but how the hell could anyone hate Anchorman?! By the Beard of Zeus, I love that movie.

I thought the characters were very well-crafted. Because the film operates over the duration of a week, we only get a partial sense of the characters (which I kinda like, gives it a "short story" quality). But they still feel like real people with real aspirations, flaws, and emotions. Thomas Hayden Church's character could very well have come off as the shallow comic relief, but even he - as closed as he is - shows an inkling of a real, insecure person underneath (and not a convenient novelty). The dialogue throughout was very well-crafted: not generic or recycled, but original (and very much character-specific).

What I really like about the film is that it doesn't lean toward trying to be one genre over another. It balances quirky comedy and compelling, accessible drama that makes for, I think, a much deeper experience than what you might normally find on the shelves these days. Any great film puts you through a gamut of emotional reactions, expressing many deeper themes and meanings that stick with you for consideration (I'm thinking of the extended dialogue between Giamatti and Madsen here) - and this one does just that for me. I like it when films make me smile, laugh, cry, fume, and think about stuff all in one sitting. :)

Me too. And Sideways does none of those things for me.

Now now. You've both made your case. Why sweat the subjective stuff?

Here... hug and make up.

:p

Fair enough. :)

Yeah, Sideways is a great film...

Same here...Sideways didn't make me smile, laugh, cry or fume...and the only thing it made me think about was missed opportunities on different levels. By the way...I loved you're earlier post Holden concerning this movie and agree with you.


Back to films I hate....have I mentioned...Sideways. ;D


Another is movie I hated was...

Uptown Girls (2003) ~ More crap aimed and thrown young girls. Although, I'm not sure which age group was really being targeted. The writer, director and whomever the powers that be missed the boat on this one.

Yeah, we all agree on loving Sideways, but who loves it the best?

Some more thoughts on Sideways:

Someone told me recently that she didn't like Sideways because she didn't like the characters (meaning that she didn't like the kinds of people they were). She particularly didn't like Tom Church's character, calling him a "selfish, pig-headed dullard" (or something to that effect).

I agree, but I think that's the point. Some people are really like that. They're not evil, and they're not even definitive antagonists. They're just people, and you accept them for who they are (especially if you are related, or if you have to work with them daily). Not one character in Sideways can be called the "good guy" or "bad guy," and I like that, because all you seem to find in mainstream Hollywood flicks anymore is the clear-cut "protagonist-versus-antagonist" model. Even in last year's Million Dollar Baby, you have villain characters that are portrayed as such (the nasty female boxer, the sneaky manager, the selfish redneck family); and while that works in relation to how characters see each other within the situation, it still paints the characters black and white for the audience. Sideways, to me, is a fantastic example of showing how real characters with real desires, insecurities, and problems interact with each other in ultimately real ways.

Example: Virginia Madsen's character seems very sweet, intelligent, and fair-minded from the moment she is introduced. But when Paul Giamatti's character reveals something that he hadn't told her previously (even after they've had such a great time together), she storms home and stops speaking to him. Watching it, I was like, "Whoa, isn't that a little harsh? Things were going so well, and he tells you something that wasn't even his responsibility, and you turn your back!" But then I thought, "Huh. I know people like this. I've had this happen to me before. I've done this to people." And then it made sense. She responded out of pain and insecurity, not out of wanting to hurt someone. That's the kind of depth and reality of character that all too often (in my opinion) gets washed out.

Um, What?

Signs wasn't just about aliens....You missed it....Also, I am having trouble reading your posts, and they don't make much sense...

Oh, good... I was afraid it was just me... ;)

I think he mentioned something elsewhere about English not being his first language. And yeah, he totally missed the point of Signs.

You're right... I missed that when I first read his posts... so, I hope lucky_luke will accept an apology from me...

btw, I didn't much care for Signs either... but most of my dislike had more to do with the people and their reactions...

no I would have to agree sign was not a good movie at all and for sideways well it was a good movie espcially if your in a mid life crisis

The thing about Sideways is (And I think Holden touched upon this in his first post), the only reason the flick became so popular and so revered in critic circles was the lack of thoughtful comedies in '04. Sure, there was "Frat Pack" trash such as Dodgeball & Anchorman, but Sideways was really the only halfway decent comedy for adults. It wound up getting Oscar recognition and a lot of buzz not because of its quality, but because of the lack of quality elsewhere.

So yeah, it was really overrated, but I don't see how you could really HATE the movie...

Sideways aside, three of my most hated movies have to be...

The Trail of the Pink Panther

Honestly, this is a horrible excuse for a Pink Panther movie. Up until now, they had been forgiveable slapstick mystery movies (I really liked A Shot in the Dark) but now they made one AFTER Peter Sellers had died and had Joanna Lumley interviewing people who knew him while mixing in stock footage of Clouseau.

It's a ****ing clip-show and a disgrace to the series.

Johnny English

When it comes to spy spoofs the king is easily Austin Powers. The lowly dungeon-dweller is Johnny English. Austin Powers had wit, and although there were seriously low-brow jokes, at least they were funny. Johnny English only ever used the one gag to death over the course of the film (the "switcheroo" as I call it - where there are two identical things and the star needs one but he goes after the wrong one by mistake) and drag it out to painful length. This has to be one of the worst movies ever.

Coogan's Bluff

This must be the only time I have seen an Eastwood movie and not been impressed. Arizona cop goes to San Francisco to chase a con. Very unremarkable and basic. Can't believe Clint did this.

One movie I despise:

The Royal Tenenbaums (Anderson, 2001)

I can see how Wes Anderson's films can appeal to some people, because he definitely has his own unique style of writing and execution. But it doesn't really appeal to me at all. Rushmore was tolerable, but The Royal Tenenbaums drove me bonkers. The characters look like they're supposed to be interesting, but aren't. The dialogue is, for the most part, flat and unremarkable. The acting is much the same (which was disappointing, to say the least): I only found Gene Hackman mildly engaging. I don't know, maybe it's just the way this one was written and put together. Watching it makes me feel like I'm trying to walk through a pretty brick wall.

Ironically, I thought The Life Aquatic was great.

Agreed.

Don't hate it, though it's nowhere near as awful as Anchorman, for example, but I don't like it at all...

Damn...why?

I thought The Royal Tenenbaums was very close to being a great movie. It just seems to get better every time I watch it.

I though Anchorman was close to being a good movie. Writing just wasn't all that good for me. But I didn't hate it.

Writing doesnt get much better than this, I would say directing was a bit shy...............but a good A- movie in my book.:D

Smug, esoteric, deliberately (as opposed to willfully) quirky - it set my teeth on edge to be honest. I was talking to someone else about Anderson's films the other day and came to the conclusion that, while I don't think he's without merit as a director, I've never been over the moon with any of his movies. Maybe I'll like the next one....

Unless you were talking about Anchorman? Well that's just rubbish. Ferrell's Chevy Chase without the wit or acting talent (and yes, it is Chevy Chase we're talking about here so the bar ain't exactly high). :)

I loved Anchorman. (much like Napolean Dynamite) I wasn't looking for a storyline when I watched this movie and loved it. The ironic comedy made up for the lack of great acting or interesting scenes. Also whats wrong with Will Ferrel? If you have watched any SNL skit you'll know that he has a lot of talent.

Don't find the man funny.

In the slightest. Do I need another reason?

Comedy is probably the most subjective genre out there. ;)

Some of the writing was good but there was some horrible writing as well.

Veronica Corningstone: My God, what is that smell? Oh!
Brian Fantana: That's the smell of desire my lady.
Veronica Corningstone: God no, it smells like, like a used diaper... filled with... Indian food! Oh, excuse me.
Brian Fantana: You know, desire smells like that to some people
Garth Holliday: What is that? Smells like a turd covered in burnt hair.
News Station Employee: Smells like Bigfoot's dick!

Wow, I'm not the only person who didn't like The Royal Tenenbaums. I just couldn't be bothered trying to care about the characters; they were ditchwater-dull, Anderson just seemed to assume that they were enthralling. Couldn't even finish it, actually. Maybe it was the poisonous presence of Ben Stiller.

Not that I hate Anderson's work generally; I liked Rushmore a lot, and while The Life Aquatic was pretty rubbish plot-wise, it was absolutely packed with lovely touches.

Tacitus says he doesn't like Ferrell because he just doesn't find him funny. My reaction to Ferrell is just as simple. I like Ferrell, because I just find him funny. He's in bad films, he often has awful lines, but he's so charming, so naturally comic (the polar opposite of Ben Stiller), that he often single-handedly saves them. Anchorman would have been garbage without him. With him... well, it was still garbage, but often very funny garbage.

All this talk of the unfunny Ferrell made me remember another movie I really disliked…

Bewitched (2005)

Nurse Betty
Airplane, the first time I saw it. I was 12, didn't get most of the jokes, and the girl who INSISTED we see it fell asleep about 10 minutes into it.

I'm definately getting a differing sense of humour vibe as this thread moves along...

I like Airplane a lot but it's humour seems to come from the 'throw enough brown stuff against the wall and some is bound to stick' school. ;)

Love Actually: Actually, I thought it was actually pretty darn unfunny and boring. Lame jokes, annoying acting, some of the most cringe inducing dialogue I've heard in a long time. Actually!
Bend it Like Beckham: Girl's good at football, family don't want girl to play football, girl joins football team, family don't want girl to join football team, I switch off the TV with a blank, unamused facial expression.
The Guru: I just really really really don't like this film. I can't force myself to laugh at this, I can't even force myself to watch it. I just think it's tedious. I don't hate Bollywood films (I loved Lagaan), I just didn't find this funny at all.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Boring.

House of the Dead- This movie was so bad that I could not even finish it. It is one of those movies where everything goes wrong, bad acting, directing, special effects, horrible diologue.

The Matrix Revolutions- I loved the matrix, and i could live with the Matrix Reloaded, but i thought Revolutions was absolutely horrible.

The Punisher(2004)- I didnt hate this movie as much as the other two, but it completely ruined a cool marvel comic character. It could have been done a lot better.

I thought of a couple more...



Daredevil (2003)
Pearl Harbor (2001)

You know i never knew there was anyone who felt the same about this movie as i do. Or Anderson for that matter. It felt like i was missing out on some joke that everyone else got. Now i realise i am not. At last i can sleep a peaceful slumber...

However i still didnt like The Life Aquatic all that much.

I never have watched that... every time I thought about it, the cover looked so unappealing, I'd always put it back on the shelf...

My roomates mom is an actress in Airplane lol.

Didn't like it either...anyways shes the blonde getting smacked in the face with all of the wrenches bats whatever...

That's frigging awesome. :laugh:

IMO Airplane! is possibly the funniest film ever made...

I didn't expect to enjoy The Life Aquatic at all, and I think that's why I liked it (if that makes sense). I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the steaming turd I thought it was going to be.

There were still things about the film I didn't like. The plot is bizarre, unrealistic, and hard to follow. The emotional element is either barely there or completely nonexistent. Still, I loved the eccentric characters and their portrayals by an exceptional cast (Bill Murray and Cate Blanchett especially). The dialogue was quirky and interesting, and the cinematography and editing were absolutely fantastic.

It could have been alot worse, too. To its credit, that film was extremely low-budget (considering the budgets of some other comic films out there), and I think that really helped. It kept things simple, and focused on the action and psychological conflict abound. The fight with the Russian was incredible, and all the roles were solid. Frank Castle came off somewhat flat and impersonal, which was disappointing, but hey - he looked, acted, and sounded the part just fine. No one else would have been better. There were other problems, of course, but not nearly as many as I expected.

But the catalyst of the plot is vengence for a beloved friend. Then there's the slowly budding relationship between Wilson and Murray (who is great in this new type of roles he's been taking on which I think Anderson started for him with Rushmore). Plus Blanchett who refrains from swearing so her baby won't hear it, in the womb. Not to mention the fact that both Murray and Wilson's characters are in love with her, but can barely bear to express it. The emotion in Anderson's films is often so strained and painful, that it is barely expressed openly and sits just below the surface, or is hinted at and revealed in small doses. Or it could be that the emotion is played in such a deadpan manner that it can almost be ingnored if you're not dialed into it. I guess a lot of people don't like Wes Anderson's films, but excepting Bottle Rocket, I love all of them.

At the very least, no one can tell me they hate Mark Mothersbaugh's brilliant scores. That guy whips it good ;).

flightplan - Boring and ****ty
Star Wars - Revenge Of The Sith - doesnt make sense
the notebook - i fell asleep (no Joke)
The day After Tommorow - Pathetic

Yeah, what I meant by that statement was, in the film, the emotion is almost completely expressed through silence, or through melancholy and (sometimes, but not always) deadpan dialogue. There are little or no physically evident emotional reactions. Everyone is closed. That seems to be a Wes Anderson trademark.

That said, I don't think it really hurts The Life Aquatic as much as it hurt The Royal Tenenbaums. I think Anderson, somewhere between both films, understood that if you're going to make the emotional stuff so dry and distant, you can't make the humor equally dry. The Life Aquatic doesn't use "in-your-face" humor by any means, but the editing, soundtrack, writing, and choice of actors enhance the humor and keep the film afloat (no pun intended). Simply put, I found the humor extremely light-hearted, intelligent, and - most importantly - accessible, and I didn't find that in The Royal Tenenbaums.

I have lots to say on this discussion but not the time to participate! Grrrrr, damn my stupid job! Up for work in 6 hours, woopeeeee! I need a robot that looks and sounds like me.


Or maybe ill just fake my own death.

Yup, the man sure knows how to make a killer soundtrack.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Offensive cliche's battle for supremacy. Will it be Love at first sight conquers all, or the big ending speech that brings everyone to their senses. I don't think there's a moment in this film that doesn't come across as didactic and completely dead. And Katherine Hepburn. Her perfect role would be one of the moronic talking heads in Greenaway's 'Tulse Luper Suitcases'.

And what was with the black woman covertly boogying down in the kitchen when the white folks weren't looking? If it didn't have that ultra earnest Hepburn & Tracy seal of approval I would have taken it as some sort of ironic parody.

Big Fat was a big Indie hit and I was expecting good things. Didn't like it at all. The only thing worse than an attractive actress who is supposed to be homely is a homely actress who is supposed to appeal to a stud like John Corbett.

Toula was really really unattractive in the beginning of the movie. And not just physically. They went too far. When I can't buy the premise (hot guy is attracted to frumpy mess of a woman) the movie is over at that point.

Two movies that come quickly to mind happen to both be chick flicks...

The Stepmom -I would just smack the two brats in the movie and it would have been over in 5 minutes

Spanglish -Again I would smack someone, but this time I would smack the mother. She was completely annoying. And then I finished the movie wondering if anything really happened. It was just a crappy movie through and through.

zzzz
 

The most boring movie I have ever seen is most definately From Dusk Till Dawn!
I have never complained about a movie, like that one!
I just hate it, I have seen it two times and it's so horrible. It's not fun or anything like that. It's just plain BAAAAAD!!!

The top worst films have to be:
Titanic
grease (both of them)
speed (all of them)
all the ernest's and pee wee's
Deep impact
films with mary kate and ashley

And so... many more

Worst film recently:

Aeon Flux

Hollow Man
The Grinch That Stole Christmas-Jim Carrey
Lost In Translation
Maid In Manhatten
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory-Johnny Depp
Serving Sara

"Zoinks", Scoobie...those movies are for kids...and I suppose they have the right to be a little lame. By the way "Signs" don't have this excuse to be dumb so it's just lame.

But...what I really wanna talk about is: Holliwood is gettin' completely outta ideas!
-First things first. For those whom don't know those two movies are "Based upon" movies. (Doctor Seuss' Grinch and the first Charlie blah blah blah (This one is a remake).
-It all started some time ago but the first simptom I remember is the starting of "Based upon" real facts movies. Like Ellie brokswotich (I think that's it) and some others. First simptom of the lack of good ideas: "Based upon" real facts movies.
-second simptom of it that I remember is "Space Jam" (A movie about warner Bros. Bugs bunny and the other animal friends of his playing basketball with Michael Jordan). This movie was "Based upon" a cartoon, if any of you don't know. Just like Scooby Doo (1 and 2) and the other move about bugs bunny (This one a little more recent. second simptom of the lack of new good ideas: "Based upon" cartoons movies.
-Then there come the remakes. The first one I remember now is "Planet of Apes", but there are others like "Charlie" up there and War of the Worlds. Third simptom: Wave of remakes.
-Together with remakes came the wave of "Comics to Movies" movies: Spiderman, batman, X-men, Superman (In fact superman and batman came before the wave of "comics to movies" but I heard there's a new one coming so I'll include this one as well) and all other men you can think about. Of course I won't forget "Sin City" and I believe "Constantine" was "based upon" a comic book called "Hellblazer". Fourth simptom: Wave of "Comics to movies"
-And now...guess what? Movies about old TV series! If you don't know what I talking about look for "Bewitched" in google Fifth simptom: They are making movies about TV shows! What now? A movie about "Friends"?
-Oh there are movies about books too. But I don't remember where they started all that so...I'll just say that there are many movies based on books troughout movie hystory.
-And at last but not at least: Sequels. Sequels...using the same formula that worked for their predecessor they strive to continuing making money with the first movie success. I know there are pretty good sequels but if you look above not all "Based upon" movies I listed are bad.

Seeing all that one can say that by combinig all those factors, many of nowadays movies are "based upon" something. I am not against all that since they (i. e. the guys that make movies) keep some original ideas coming here and there.
Just letting the world know that I am watching (Great difference it'll do).

My man i agree ;) Merry christmas poppinfresh:cool:
My brother from another mother:D

I thought Brothers Grimm was really good. Sure, Gilliam toned his style down a bit, but he was also unable to cast who he wanted and had to make some other sacrifices as well. A fun, beautifully shot film, for sure.

One I dislike strongly - Phantom of the Opera (Shumacher)

I usually call them fluff movies: Mona Lisa Smile, The Wedding Planner, Maid In Manhatten, Serving Sara. I think ya get the picture.

Anything of Uwe Boll is rifled to the top of my list on most hated movies.

However, after a recent re-viewing of Batman Begins I have now found a new enemy in cinema. I absolutely hate this movie, nearly to tears.

Whoever said Lost in Tranlastion was also spot on.

Alot of SNL alumni movies are terrible as well as sedai pointed out. The only ones I can bear are The Blues Brothers and Mean Girls, both of which rock my socks.

Yeah, I hadn't thought about Belushi and Ackroyd when I was venting about the SNL crap. I love The Blues Brothers, and I also like Ghostbusters.

Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the ****

A film I cared very little for overall was 'the pianist'. I also dislike 'the green mile' and 'Brotherhood of the wolf'. 'White noise' also.

Oh my golly gosh! Forget signs. The incredible creative pool of ideas that filmmakers have (The same that brought to me signs, stealth and that space version of jumanji that don't deserves that I remember the name) keeps surprising me with what they can make.
Today I watched "Welcome to jungle" and I want to make somethings clear:
-It's okay to the americans have american accent but...why the natives talked with an american accent?(I'm no specialist in portuguese accents but it sure looked the same accent that the american guys in the movie talked). The best line in portuguese in the entire movie is "Bom dia mané!"(Good morning *******) (talked by some sitting guy when travis enter the bar at the beggining)that we can't normally discern due to the background blabbing (I had to rewind some times to understand it). All movies with mexicans I ever seen they talked an at least average spanish why they can't get some guys that speak real portuguese?
-I'm no specialist in capoeira but I'm positive that the fighting style that the rebels fight with beck isn't capoeira. Don't matter the Capoeira music in the background.
-The temple had drawings of Jaguars, monkeys and...eagles? I'm no specialist in amazon but I ain't so sure there are eagles in there.
-Just in case someone believed we don't call brazilian nuts "nuts" we call them "castanhas do Pará".
-When the leader of the rebels give the directions to the airport to beck she says something like "Go north until you find a road then follow it south" I must have gotten it wrong but that wouldn't be...

-I'm no specialist in indian tribes but I am not so confident that the marajo could forge a golden statue that pretty.
-Don't get me wrong twas a good action movie just felt it had a bit too much mistakes even for an action movie.

Films I hate the most
 

I hate basically every Sylvester Stallone except for maybe Cop Land.
The new Star Wars films are terrible, I hate every single Nightmare on Elm Street movie, Titanic is just plain crap, and the Scream trilogy massively overrated.

Demolition Man and Cliff Hanger will go down in history as two of the most profound films in American cinema. What Stallone brought to the table for actors was, and still very much is, something most normal movie goers and actors don't understand yet. Eventually, once many essays, debates, experiments, and calculations are made everyone will know what I'm talking about. Believe me, it's hard to stay in front of the pack knowing what I know while not sounding crazy. Give em' another try, especially Demolition Man. You have to watch it while laying on your side though to experience everything Stallone was doing, even Snipes did his thing.

Demolition Man :eek:
I don't think I'll be watching that again anytime soon.
