The Simpsons Movie (2007)

First to recommend

Description

Somehow I didn't mind paying $10 to see an extra long episode of The Simpsons at the movie theater and I hardly even watch the show on TV. The Simpsons Movie was good, lighthearted fun from beginning to end and at no point did I find myself getting bored.

My 10 year old son really enjoyed Night at the Museum and I didn't find it painful to watch.

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

First to recommend

Description

If you're a super hero movie addict (I'm not) you'll probably have to see Spider-Man 3. If you liked the first two Spider-Man movies (I almost did) you'll enjoy this one too. Spider-Man 3 has some fascinating new special effects with sand and the action sequences are dizzying, but the flat characters and yawn/frown worthy plot left me shaking my head.

300

8 people recommended this item

Description

If you didn't like "Sin City" you probably won't like "300". If you did like "Sin City", you might like "300". This movie is definitely worth watching just for the special effects and visual presentation of the landscape, but you have to be willing to accept over-the-top dialog for what it is.

Red Planet (2000)

First to recommend

Description

I have to nominate Red Planet for the biggest bad movie ever. I wouldn't normally recommend a bad movie, but in this case the badness is so stunningly immense, I highly recommend you watch it just to experience the disaster that is this movie. I saw this movie in the theater and was minute after minute overwhelmed by how it continued its terribleness for an hour and a half.

Some movies are bad because they are done by bad actors and have no budget. Red Planet managed to hire some biggish actors, obviously had a budget for special effects and publicity, but managed to completely fail in the following categories: plot, story, dialog, acting, science, realism, continuity, believability, and any sort of enjoyability.

This movie is such a great example of how a big production can go wrong, I bought the DVD.

The Fifth Element

7 people recommended this item

Description

I think this is probably a bad movie, but I can't look away when it's on. The only thing I really hate is that annoying character (you'll figure out who I mean quickly enough). For some reason whenever I see the title of this movie I mutter "mul-ti-pass".

Groundhog Day

Description

It's a classic Bill Murray performance. This comedy/drama is the story fo a weatherman who is forced to live the same quirky day over and over again. It's no surprise the Bill Murray is the entire film.

Babel (2006)

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Are they really coming out with better movies lately or are my standards just slipping? Babel drew me in completely, not letting go until the final scene. It did an excellent job of not letting me feel lost, and at the same time kept me wondering how events were related and sitting on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next. Like several of the movies I have loved recently, Babel portrays realistic human experience without a standard Hollywood plot line. Another one of the best movies of the year and we are only at the end of January.
