CollectionsIt's by no means, a great film. It is however, a chesstaculary fun over the top movie.
Probably the best part of the film, is William Fichtner as "The Accontant", that and Nicholas Cage's hair.

The Interview review
Posted : 11 years, 9 months ago on 25 December 2014 07:05
(A review of The Interview)Having just seen The Interview, I would have to say it was pretty great film. Granted, some of the jokes where hit and miss, but it was still not that bad of a movie.

Jack and Jill review

(A review of Jack and Jill)I would say that this is a bottom of the barrel comedy, but I would be insulting both barrels and the bottom of barrels.

Whitney review
Posted : 14 years, 10 months ago on 15 November 2011 05:23
(A review of Whitney)Tried watching this show a couple of times, but gave up on it after a few episodes. The fact that Whitney, is still on the air and that Community could be placed on an indefinite hiatus, and possibly cancelled by the "evil peacock network", says a lot about the "evil peacock network"'s priorities.

Season of the Witch review
Posted : 14 years, 11 months ago on 29 October 2011 02:04
(A review of Season of the Witch)If your ever wondered, what The Name of The Rose, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, and The Devils, would be like featuring stilled dialogue, cheesy CGI, a predictable plot you can see coming from a mile away, and Nicholas Cage, then this film is for you!
Cage, plays a knight quested to deliver a young women, believed to be the cause of the Bubonic Plague, and of being a witch.
Also, the wolves in the film are of the CGI variety, but the unintentional laughs are very, very real.
Lovers of bad cinema, this is film is just for you!

Dragonball Evolution review
Posted : 15 years ago on 18 September 2011 10:31
(A review of Dragonball Evolution)Best comedy, ever!
I know it isn't but from the very beginning, I found the film very much unintentionally hilarious.
Yes, I know that the TV series, had their moments of humor, but the live action takes it to the next level.
A direct comparison, would be Super Mario Bros and Double Dragon, both awesomely bad, and both worth checking out if you like really horribly awful, but yet entertainingly horribly bad movies films, this film definitely belongs way up there with them.

Written and directed by Michael Crichton, the 1981 sci-fi thriller Looker stars Albert Finney, James Coburn, and Susan Dey as a surgeon uncovers a corporate mind-control conspiracy murdering supermodels, featuring pioneering 3D CGI visual effects by Richard Taylor.
The 1981 sci-fi thriller Looker flopped at the box office, grossing just $3.3 million against an estimated $8 million to $12 million budget.
Why Box Office
Plot Holes: Critics slammed massive logic gaps, like a company murdering its own models.
Too Advanced: 1981 viewers found CGI actors and AI advertising confusing, not scary.
Tonal Clash: Awkwardly mixed a serious thriller, cosmetic satire, and goofy sci-fi action.
Bad Timing: Flopped on Halloween weekend 1981 against Halloween II.
Micheal Crichton after wards:
Directing Career Ended:Directed two more movie flops (Runaway, Physical Evidence), halting his film career.
Literary/TV Boom: Bounced back in the 1990s by writing Jurassic Park and creating the smash hit TV series ER.
Legacy: Remained a dominant techno-thriller author until his death from cancer in 2008.1 day, 8 hours ago

Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, the 1981 adventure film Sphinx adapted from Robin Cook's novel and starring Lesley-Anne Down and Frank Langella, Sphinx is about an idealistic young Egyptologist uncovers a conspiracy involving black market antiquities and a legendary, hidden tomb, plunging her into deadly danger across Egypt.
Weak Script: Bogged down in dull exposition instead of exciting action.
Bad Timing: Crushed by competing with Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Poor Reviews: Trashed by critics as slow, awkward, and forgettable.
Box Office Bomb: Cost up to $14M but grossed under $2M domestically.
The Buyout: Orion Pictures paid a massive $1 million for the film rights to the book.
The Gutting: Cook hated it because the movie threw out his plot, keeping only the title and Egypt.
The Protest: He broke ties with the production and flatly refused to do any publicity or promo tours.
Siskel & Ebert: Both thrashed it, with Siskel calling it a "Dog of the Week" and Ebert mocking its cheap, failed suspense.
Public: Audiences and critics rejected it as a slow, cheap imitation of superior adventure films.1 day, 11 hours ago

Insulted Fans: Portrayed them as grotesque and obnoxious.
Arrogant Tone: Whined cynically about the burdens of celebrity.
Fellini Clone: Pretentiously copied 8½ in black-and-white.
Box Office Bomb: Grossed just $10.3M on a $10M budget.
Wrong Expectations: Audiences wanted another Annie Hall.
The Legacy:
Fellini Tribute: Later re-evaluated as a brilliant homage.
Sharon Stone: Featured her silent movie debut.
Director's Pick: Remains one of Woody Allen's favorite
Critics and Audiences
The Backlash: Audiences and critics rejected the 1980 film Stardust Memories as hostile and pretentious.
The Core Complaint: They disliked the self-indulgent Fellini imitation and felt insulted by the bitter portrayal of fans.3 days, 21 hours ago

Directed by Gilbert Cates, the 1980 flop Oh, God! Book II stars George Burns as the Almighty, who recruits a young girl (Louanne) for a promotional campaign, making her parents think she has lost it.
Too Soft: Replaced sharp satire with cheap sentimentality.
Benched God: Sidelined George Burns for family drama.
Flop Numbers: Grossed $14.5M vs the original's $51M.
No Chemistry: Swapped John Denver for a child, feeling like a cheap TV movie.
Lost Novelty: Replacing John Denver with a child destroyed the original's chemistry.
Cheap Feel: It felt like a standard Disney TV movie rather than a sharp comedy.
Wasted Charm: George Burns remained witty, but the central joke was stale by 1980.4 days, 7 hours ago

Terror Train is a 1980 horror film directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Jamie Lee Curtis, where a masked killerseeks revenge during a college costume party on a moving train by continuously stealing his victims' disguises.
Fox's $5M marketing for the 1980 slasher film Terror Train failed, yielding a low $8M gross that missed expectations ($40M–$50M) and barely broke even
Why Terror Train Fell Short
Market Oversaturation: A massive flood of early-1980s slasher films tired out audiences and split box office returns.
High Marketing Spend: Fox's expensive promotional push created a massive financial hurdle that traditional low-budget horror films avoided.
Both critics and audiences generally agreed on the film, giving
Terror Train mixed-to-negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes for being a predictable and formulaic imitation of Halloween.4 days, 18 hours ago

Studio meddling: Producers forced a bad gimmick and banned writers.
Bad humor: Swapped sharp satire for weak slapstick.
Why it Bombed!
Critics (17%): Panned it as a boring, feeble TV cash-in, earning a Worst Picture Razzie nomination.

In Disney's gothic 1980 horror film The Watcher in the Woods, two sisters (Lynn-Holly Johnson and Kyle Richards) move into a creepy English manor and unlock a dark mystery about a girl who vanished thirty years ago during a solar eclipse.
The Clashed Vision: Disney fans expected family-friendly fantasy but unburied a terrifying gothic ghost story.
The Banished Film: A mangled, confusing alien climax forced Disney to exile the movie after just 10 days.
The Deep Grave: A resurrected 1981 cut with a brand-new ending still rotted at the box office.
The Loss: The steep $6–$9 million production budget yielded a dead $5 million box office gross.

Good grief! In the 1980 film Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!! created by Charles M. Schulz and directed by Bill Melendez and Phil Roman, Charlie Brown (Skelley), Linus (Anderson), and Snoopy travel to France as exchange students, survive a chateau fire, and crack a family mystery.
Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown bombed, grossing just $2,013,193 due to slow pacing and a dying franchise.
Why the Box Office. Drop in interest: Audiences grew tired of Peanuts films after multiple sequels.
Cheap animation: The movie cut corners with slow panning shots over still backgrounds.
Boring pace: These shortcuts dragged down the runtime and hurt the movie.
Critics and Audiences
No jazz score: Vince Guaraldi's death left the film without the classic Peanuts sound.
Weird tone: The dark French mystery plot replaced the comic strip's usual everyday humor.
Heavy competition: Blockbusters and live-action films scared off studios and took audiences.6 days, 6 hours ago

In 1980, host Chuck Barris directed and starred alongside Robin Altman, Mabel King, and the regular show panelists in a fictionalized, chaotic plot detailing his own miserable nervous breakdown under the stress of the series.
Despite doubling its $3.3 million budget at the box office, it was a R-rated, self-directed midlife crisis was so deeply depressing and poorly timed that theatres yanked it after just one miserable week
The Competition:
Released alongside The Empire Strikes Back and The Shining. Crushed.
The Rating: Turned a family TV show into a raunchy, R-rated movie. Families locked out.
The Vibe: Focused on Chuck Barris’ miserable nervous breakdown. Depressing, not funny.
The Fallout: Critics panned the gags. Universal withdrew it immediately.
Gonged by Critics
The Trash Treatment: Critics completely trashed the movie, with one television reviewer famously hitting a garbage can with a hammer on air to describe it. 6 days, 12 hours ago
