1. The name of the Rose is horrible. What a dirty piece of navel lint it is.
2. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is dog crap (you know what I mean). It's simply amazing how this movie got so many good reviews. Someone should cook the director and serve him to the critics (joking, of course).
I've heard that the movie supposedly is an attack on Margaret Thatcher (wouldn't surprise me, British directors, comedians, writers and actors love to whine about the lady. Heck, people who didn't grow up under her whine. Even people not living in England whine! They should open a liquor store. All that "whine" could earn them a fortune) If that's the case, the director did a pretty bad job...well, he did.
3. The Perfect Storm is a boring and pointless movie. It's like watching a prequel, you know what's going to happen.
4. Steel (1997) is a badly acted and extremely cheesy movie. But who cares? The characters are likeable, the hero is a nice guy, it's classic good vs evil stuff. Harmless fun. Sometimes I think we should take stuff like that into consideration. It's not a masterpiece, but a nice movie to watch with bowl of popcorn and a couple of beers on the table.
I thought the movie was awesome when I first saw it as a kid (worry not, I didn't drink beer back then). I didn't know anything about Steel, or that it was based on a DC Comic. I didn't even know who Shaq was or how to pronounce his name (I think I called him "Shakku"). I knew about a game called Shaq-Fu, but what the heck was that? Was he a martial artist? I thought it was a RoboCop ripoff when I saw pictures of it, but in reality it was about a giant, black Batman on a budget. Of course I loved it.
5. Captain America (1990) is okay. I remember my reaction when I found out there was a Captain America movie "what? Is this real?". I was probably eleven or twelve years old. My parents taped it for me, but they spoiled every single thing from the movie before I saw it.
Even as a kid I noticed the low budget, but I didn't give a damn. I got to see Captain America punch badguys in the butt. Like Steel, it's just harmless stuff.
I have yet to see the Reb Brown movies, but I ordered those last week, so maybe I'll get them soon. Looks hilarious.
6. The Crow is really overrated. Not saying that it's terrible or anything, but it's not for everyone. Brandon Lee wasn't a very good actor, the "dead guy taking revenge" stuff had been done to death even back then...nice visuals, though. The scene with the burning crow symbol is amazing, and so is the music used during the scene.
Still better than the horrible comic. And let's not talk about the fourth movie...ugh.
7. Dragonheart is very good. Is that unpopular? Maybe the special effects are dated compared to movies like Jurassic World, Godzilla etc, but the dragon feels real anyway. I miss movies like this one.
8. The Wraith (Charlie Sheen) is bad, bad, bad. What a strange movie. It's like The Crow, only with "funny" scenes in it. Sometimes it feels like it's a comedy. And the race scenes are boring...see one race scene and then press fast forward on the rest. You won't miss anything at all. No tension at all.
9. Bubba Ho-Tep is nothing special.
10. White House Down aka Everybody Loves Obama is very bad.
