Secret Force Behind the Rise of the Tau




USA

Mine is also AVP, but the second one not the first. I've watched it more than the first movie, and I honestly couldn't tell you why I enjoy it. It's a horrid film. The screen is always too dark. One second the film will be too quiet and then it'll be too loud! gak just "happens" with little reason. It inserts shock value gore seemingly for the sole reason of one upping the rest of the franchise and the characters cater from understandable but dumb to inconceivable and dumb from scene to scene. And the whole thing just so unimaginative.

But for some reason I like it.



It was the best comedy of the year.

I actually quite liked that Daredevil film too.


And I think this movie was in general bashed unfairly. Its not great, but its nowhere near the levels of bad people continually suggest. I've seen it regularly listed with Green Lantern as one of the two worst comic book movies and its nowhere near that bad as a film. I mean jesus there's that second Ghost Rider film around, and hardly anyone ever talks about how bad that movie was (presumably because almost no one has actually seen it...)

I like all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.


Seconded. I mean sure every one after the first one wasn't quite as good but I think as far as sequelized films go they weren't bad. Only Dead Men Tell No Tales I think was truly bad and I didn't enjoy it at all.

I also like the Doom movie.


I think the only real flaw with this movie was that it was called Doom. If they'd called it literally anything else I doubt anyone would have batted an eye at the sparse similarities to the games and it would probably have been better received. I mean it still would have been mediocre as a film, but it wouldn't have had to jumble all the confused people who went in expecting a film based on the game series.

I too prefer the second AvP movie. I think it's the presence of those shrieks as Xenomorphs get all shot up.

And it's really quite nihilistic ending - which lets face it was probably the only way to properly contain the issue at hand.

I'd argue it's main flaw is the flip-flopping between Teen Slasher Flick, and outright monster movie. Just pic a genre and run with it. Second main flaw? The idiot that's the jerk to the pizza guy didn't get Bumhugged off a Facehugger. That would've amused me.

'Not another teen movie' was gold. One of the few parody movies about a particular genre that was perfect.

I already saw rocky horror picture show live. Was rather surprised how old it's supposed to be. I felt like the whole audience was going to go to hell after watching it live years back and i'm not even into religion. Go figure it's my half sister and brother in law (who are religious christians and old enough to be my parents) that take me to it.

I have one, though. Xanadu. I love every gloriously cheesy minute of it, with music by Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton-John.



I agree and I share mine all the time because Im really not ashamed of what I like though I do know when I like something crap.

Water World. I watch it at least once a year.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with House on Haunted Hill. Assuming we're talking about the Vincent Price version, that is.

I really enjoy Trolls. When my daughter wants to watch it I feel like I have to make jokes that I'm just suffering through it for the 100th time, but truth is I'm happy when that's the movie she picks. The movie is hilarious and the songs are great, even when I'm watching it for the 100th time.

I really like the pretty much all the blood opera Hong Kong action movies. And not just the good ones like The Killer and Hard Boiled, but all of them. In fact those ones aren't as much fun because they're kind of a bit sensible (relatively speaking). In act, my enjoyment of these movies is directly tied to how many incompetent extras get riddled with bullets. Bullet in the Head might be favourite simply because I think it has the biggest body count.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

I rate all TOS Star Trek movies.

Sure, they're not up to Star Wars (let me finish!), but they're still very Star Trek, and bridge the gap stylistically and politically between TOS and TNG very nicely.

And I love how from Khan onwards, we've pretty much got a single timeline up to The Voyage Home - same crew, same ships. Lurching from one adventure to another.

Lovely stuff. Though frankly, First Contact remains the absolute greatest Star Trek film ever, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

True, but sometimes we do like genuinely awful films.

For instance, the first two Fantastic Four films I thoroughly enjoyed.

I consider they captured the campy vibe of the comics very nicely. Though Jessica Alba did look very odd with the contacts. Not even sure why those were necessary.

It's the montage set to AC/DC that works for me. That and the fact that they were totallay unashamed at crowbarring the board game secret grid and little pegs in. Well done.

Some of the many good things in that film - It was interesting that the alien invaders avoided collaterol damage wherever possible - very unusual.
