Monster-in-Law (2005)

-60/10.If anyone needed to be kept off the big screen it would be Jane Fonda.Who would ever want to see this pain in the butt is beyond me.Here she's paired up with Jennifer Lopez, whose own acting skills are easily outsized by her butt.I would call this a special kind of bad, as in so bad that all dvd and blu ray copies should taken out and burned.It's one of those that can't and shouldn't be salvaged.

The Punisher (2004)

8.3/10.A pretty good comic book movie here.I only found Jon Travolta's presence annoying.Thomas Jane captures the character well.Heck even, Rebecca Romijn, works well here too.I thought it pretty good, excellent storytelling with the right amount of action.

Striptease (1996)

6.6/10.An interesting Demi Moore movie.I wouldn't call it good but I wouldn't call it bad either.Rather it sits in the middle like one of those B movies that could've almost broken into the A level.Demi shows some pretty good acting skills considering she plays a stripper getting as nude as possible most of the time.Burt Reynolds performance was a mix of interesting and annoying.I found him a hoot.Suffice it to say watch it even if you find the plot weak mainly to see Demi do some pretty good dancing and stripping.

5.5/10.I wouldn't call this a good movie nor a decent one.It's okay at best due to it mocking the supposedly great Mr And Mrs Smith.I find it amusingly bad with hints it's trying.Gal Gadot does actually try here despite being one of the more recently over exposed actresses with an acting range of bland.Despite being with Cohen,Isla Fisher's pretty okay.I found the best scene the dressing room scene,sole purpose to show off Gadot in skimpy underwear.I didn't care for the subtle jabs at suburban middle class couples as well as not so subtle gripes about Abu Ghraib.Let's face it,some people don't deserve to be treated decently,not when they attack our country or other democratic ones.I could've lived without this Hollywood gripe.Heck it would've been a lot better if it were about a suburban couple helping a married couple of ex spies adjust to normal life.Still it's an okay watch despite being a bad movie.Yes, I watched and laughed,but only at how lame it seemed to be,especially at Gadot,whose days are numbered.Once Blunder Woman's done,she can look forward to doing more clunkers like this unless she can sing okay like that one trick pony Lynda Carter.It's one of those that tried harder than what it should've and that only adds to how really "so bad it's good to watch and laugh at"it turns out to be.Still,all this said,it's a heck of a lot better than the Pitts movie Mr & Mrs Smith.

Spy Hard (1996)

8.9/10.Yet another well done performance by Mr Leslie Nielsen.Here he spoofs the spy genre excellently with a superb performance.It's also the only time I could tolerate Nicollete Sheridan in anything, the eye candy of Desperate Housewives.Mr Nielsen was truly one of the best of comedy, here he's still got it as Dick Steele aka WD-40 fighting Andy Griffith, your run of the mill evil General Rancor.It's great.

Just My Luck (2006)

-20/10.An interesting premise that falls flat because of its leading lady.Why they picked this cokeheaded waste of an actress is beyond me. Chris Pine does some darn good acting here by falling for her.Somebody should've long since told Lindsay Lohan to quit acting and get a regular job.

8.9/10.I'm not a fan of Beavis and Butthead's TV show yet this movie had a charm about it.Granted it was dopey at times like the FBI thinking the duo was in on a bio weapon theft plot but it worked. Mike Judge did pretty good here with Bruce Willis and his would be ex wife Demi Moore.The whole movie is truly something to watch for an adult audience.

Maid in Manhattan (2002)

-50/10.So far this is as generous as I've gotten on really bad movies which deserve negative ratings like this one. It's bad, I mean bad.Jennifer Lopez as Marisa Ventura, a single mother working in a New York hotel lands Ralph Fiennes as Christopher Marshall, a politician.That's the plot in a nutshell.The problems I can mention are:1. This story was done before, mostly notably as Cinderella, a timeless fairy tale and Disney animated movie.2.The title here is ripped off from a Vanessa Del Rio porno of the 80's,3.Most importantly, Jennifer Lopez is thoroughly unlikable.True she's fairly good looking but looks carry someone only so far.The hardest thing to believe is a politician marrying someone's hired help instead of keeping her on the side?Yeah right.I'm not sure what's worse:This lame idea or Hollywood expects their movies audiences to keep swallowing this trite no matter how many times they do it.Truthfully the movie could've been saved by hiring someone else to play the role instead of obnoxious diva Lopez.

Serial Mom (1994)

-30/10.Just what's funny here? That hack actress Kathleen Turner's compulsive mother character is a killer who kills for whatever the reason? This touched a raw nerve with me as she seemed to be OCD and I'm that too. I've gotten mad at people like my mother when they do things they know I'd hate like putting things that had been outside under my bathroom sink, my mother's big on Covid 19 paranoia.Here Beverly Sutphin is just one of the most reprehensible characters ever thought up.Clearly the writer had mother issues so he thought it'd be real funny to write a comedy where a mother's a serial killer.Ha, ha, comedy gold.If anyone thinks this is great comedy then they're to be pitied.

-70/10.Oh goody the latest anti American movie that wins big at the fraudulent Oscars.They might as well have said the Cold War was unnecessary, the Soviets weren't our enemy we were because of our paranoia.Sally Hawkins, one of the homeliest women ever to be in movies, plays the lead of Elisa Esposito.A mute woman who falls in love with a shameless ripoff of Universal's The Gill Man who takes her away in the end like Darryl Hanah did with Tom Hanks in Splash.Anyone who called this garbage a classic is either a brown noser or delusional.I found nothing positive here in this anti American pro beastiality junk fest.

Movie 43 (2013)

-40/10.What a frustrating mess of a movie.They've got some good talent here with Anna Faris, Uma Thurman, Chloe Grace Moretz, Naomi Watts, and Chris Evans.Yet what they lack is a script.Sketches about a guy with genitals on his chin, a guy's girl wanting him to defecate on her, this isn't funny, it's lousy.I fail to find anything funny here especially the worst, for me, sketch wise, the home schooling one.I was home schooled because the public schools were awful where I live.Here it's supposed to be funny that his parents torture him like it's actual high school?Whoever wrote this should be kicked out of script writing for all eternity.

Rob245

-40/10.Possibly one of the biggest deceitful acts ever pulled in the world of sports.An old man playing someone young to be his daughter.It's long since been suspected Riggs threw the match to Jean to pay off debts to the mob.He was too old and out of shape and he knew it.She was also lousy in cheating her manager/lover out of money owed to her then fired her.Both Emma Stone and Steve Carrell are lousy in most movies they do, this is just another stinker for them both.

Malabimba (1979)

7.2/10.An erotic Italian horror movie version of The Exorcist.This is both bad and good.Bad in the sense Italian cinema couldn't think up their own idea.They appeared to have ripped off the said American classic and merely inserted in erotic scenes.Good in the sense that in the setting of a castle estate somewhere in a private part of Italy it feeds into the isolation and dread.Marinangela Giordano as Sister Sofie and Katell Laennec as Bimba Caroll do well here.The love scene between them seems more genuine than most at the time in erotic movies were.

Black Scorpion (1995)

8.5/10.A pretty good movie and staple of late night TV and B movies.Joan Severance as the title character is excellent as she fights crime.The costume is one of the hottest I've seen next to Supergirl's from the 1984 movie.Detective Darcy Walker fights crime as The Black Scorpion with no restraints, a mix of Batman and The Punisher.If anything, the movie's a good watch for Friday and Saturday nights.

The Fourth Kind (2009)

9.3/10.An interesting sci fi movie. Milla (formerly Jovovich) Anderson proves her range beyond that of the action adventure genre.Here as Dr Abigail Tyler she delves into cases of three patients who claim to have gone through alien abduction.Whether or not these actually happened I found irrelevant.The idea here for the movie was intriguing with good acting by everyone especially Milla and Elias Koteas. If you like sci fi movies and Milla Anderson movies then this is one for you.

6.2/10.The most overrated of The Nightmare On Elm Street franchise.What should've been a good idea fell flat.The kids are all unlikable.Patricia Arquette, whose family name alone has gotten her around, was the worst as she matched Heather Langenkamp in blandness.Robert Englund and John Saxon really tried hard but they couldn't save this mess.I rank this just barely above The Dream Child as the worst of the franchise.The presence of the Nancy Thompson character bothered me as she's putting these kids on pill reliance while doing the cliche of doctors know nothing while somebody outside of that field does.Heck, Stacey Alden as the nude nurse in her brief appearance out acted both Langenkamp and Arquette.This was a mess.

Rob245

6.5/10.The most overrated entry of the franchise.I truly hated Corey Feldman as Tommy Jarvis and Kimberly Beck as his sister Trish.I also didn't care for single mother Tracy Jarvis played by Joan Freeman, as if horror needs to further the idea that being a single parent is easy.Ted White was pretty good as Jason, he being one of the only tolerable cast members alongside Camilla and Carey Moore.Kimberly Beck said she hated the horror genre and called this a "C movie" with me wondering why she'd even sign up for it.I truly found her to be in a tie with Dana Kimmell as the worst femal leads in the franchise.She too badmouthed the series.Still it's fairly decent despite the presence of Feldman and Beck.

9.1/10.While this one does seem crammed with villains it's still solid.It does a decent job with Electro as Jamie Foxx is pretty decent here as is Paul Giamatti as The Rhino.The one that stood out was Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn/The Green Goblin.He's never called that but it's obvious.The suit was pretty good along with the way he gets it.Andrew Garfield still delivers here, seems quite focused as Spider-Man.The main problem, I felt, was Emma Stone.She seemed to be phoning it in as if bored.Gwen is now possessive of Peter like she was in the comics which always bothered me.I felt they shouldn't have done this as we know what happens in these movies with that kind of attitude.Her death scene seemed just like the comics only as least we see her look of sadness whereas in the comic she was unconscious.The sequel may not have been as good as its predecessor it's far from being bad or terrible.

Rob245

9.4/10.A pretty decent reboot.I finally got to see The Lizard, my favorite of Spider-Man's foes brought to life.It was timed nicely, coming out the year of the character's 50th anniversary.He's one of, and still is, best comic book super heroes of all time, ranking up there with Bat Man and Super Man.Rhys Ifans as The Lizard was perfect as he maintains the goal of the comic book character wanting to regrow his arm and help humanity.Here it's Oscorp that's the true villain in that they cared only about profit, heck with people and proper testing.The only time I could tolerate Martin Sheen, was a decent Uncle Ben though he was no Cliff Robertson.Sally Field, as Aunt May, is bearable here too, one of two times for me.Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy was also OK in one of her few good movies.Andrew Garfield himself plays Peter Parker like a rebel which is fine.I don't mind character changes like that as long as they're not too ridiculous.The Lizard design itself was excellent along with his plan of making everyone like him just like in the animated series debut of the character.Clearly director Marc Webb, like Sam Raimi, loved and respected the source material, he did an excellent job here.

-20/10.My second review to give a movie or show a negative score.They should enjoy the honor, this rancid franchise.That and a sequel that outdoes its predecessor in tackiness and degradation of the family. Why do they keep writing and making garbage like this?It can't solely be for profit because more than enough people hate this junk.I figure it's because Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell,Kathryn Hahn,Christine Baranski,Susan Sarandon,and Cheryl Hines need the work,even if it's garbage.All that happens here is the same as the last one.Three pain in the rears who should've been sterilized are misbehaving again only now it's around Christmas and they've thrown in three past their prime actresses to mug for the camera too.Written and directed by the same two brain dead guys, Scott Moore and Jon Lucas, one gets the impression they've got mother issues.Here it's ninety minutes or more of them, mainly Kunis, acting like imbeciles, saying vulgar things and behaving like teenage delinquents.Sadly too many critics probably played kiss up to this like the last one.Oh how the times have changed.In 1984 they, as well too many parents, bellyached about the horror classic Silent Night Deadly Night.failing to remember it was a horror movie not meant for kids and talk to their kids about it.Here trash like is praised and makes a profit.Unbelievable.Christmas is sacred except for morons like these who've got no respect for anything or anyone.These people should be like Thelma and Louise, go jump off a cliff.Now they're doing a third one?.I can guess it'll be three more way past their prime like say Jane Fonda who'll be raunchy grandmothers as all three generations will probably hit Miami for spring break.
