Crappy movie alert - The Transporter |
|
Didn't like it....anyone wanna add to this list?
Also...saw Jaws the revenge today....good movie until the end when we learn that shark have vocal chords and make noises similiar to Godzilla. As Well when the boat is rammed into jaws.....for some reason the masts break halfway up.....ummmm...yeah...sheesh!

4. did you see "the one".. |

It seems like the past few years haven't been good for movie buffs with any taste whatsoever. I watched tomb raider 2 friday.. boy it sucked too!!
at least we have the latest star wars to look forward too .. Mwahhahah!!! like it's not going to be painfully shitty!!

5. I am constantly dissapointed |
|
A few years ago movies started sucking...but there was the odd gem that came out....now whenever I think a movie is going to be one of those gems.....it never is.
I do want to see the quiet american though

10. That was fairly good. Not great, but pretty good. |
|
I had no idea about our involvement with Vietnam pre-war, the film helped out--and the DVD extras also filled in a lot.
As usual, Caine and Fraser were very good, and Graham Greene rocks. Watching it, though, I could feel the meatiness missing. I usually feel this way, though, watching a book on the big screen. Only time I didn't feel this way was watching The English Patient. That's probably because it was such a departure from the novel that it created its own weight.

You just know it's going to suck, don't ya, LOL...it's almost painful the way I can already see it coming, with it's dramatic trailers about how Anakin is driven to the dark side....all the while knowing it's going to suck.

It wasn't brain surgery, but it was quite stylish and original for an action film.
Sometimes I wonder about people's personal tastes...

I thought it was one of the better action movies to come out in recent years.
Good fighting and car chases.

16. Crappy movie: The Tuxedo |
|
Currently being played to death on HBO.
Like many Jackie Chan movies, they are not very good, with Chan being the only entertaining part of it. The man is a very gifted physical actor.
To bad he isn't ever surrounded by better material.
