What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?
-
Con Air
It is absolutely not well written but I just love how the film and all the actors are completely aware of how dumb the entire thing is.
Oh, and casting Chief Engineer Miles O'Brien as the jerk that everyone hates is the icing on this guilty-pleasure cake.
Con Air is an amazing “Sunday evening after eating too much dinner” film.

A space-ship that’s 60% glass, 20% stiffener bars and 20% normal space-ship stuff,
Yeah I can only imagine the number of untraceable air leaks in that thing, especially as it ages and the DAP around the glass starts to crack
-
Does that actually work? I have only played the 1st 20 minutes of Monkey Island lol
They have a lot of similarities.
According to wikipedia, Monkey Island was inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and Pirates of the Caribbean was rumored to be based on a cancelled script for a Monkey Island movie.

I’ve not seen it since it came out but Crank (2006) is a terrible, dumb action comedy that has no right being that entertaining. It’s sequel Crank High Voltage is less good but also still enjoyable. I should rewatch them see if that’s rose tinted glasses or not!
Aren't those movies in the same universe as Glass and Split?

I watched that when I had PMS and bawled through the whole thing, I was expecting a romantic comedy and I have never been so upset by a plot twist.
For what it is, it's an emotional rollercoaster. Like you know that the letters can't go on forever, but damn.

And then?
No and then.

Should he need to? He's an actor. He can pretend to know what he is doing.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]No, of course not. But it's funny how he openly admits to his ignorance. He still gives a great performance and was obviously very well liked by the rest of the cast.

Johnny Depp fucking carries that franchise.
He nailed Jack sparrow so damn hard I can't picture anyone else in that role. It sets the pace of the movie too.
He not only nailed it so hard no one else can play the role, he nailed it so hard he became synonymous with the role.

I remember people thinking he was crazy when he first stepped into the role and was swaying and shit.
The balls it took to fully immerse yourself like that. Paid off in spades.

Ghosts of Mars by John Carpenter
Set on a colonized Mars in the 22nd century, the film follows a squad of police officers and a convicted criminal who fight against the residents of a mining colony who have been possessed by the ghosts of the planet's original inhabitants.
Ghosts of Mars received mostly negative reviews and was a box office bomb, earning $14 million against a $28 million production budget.
Ghosts of Mars has received a cult following since its release, with critics praising the action sequences, soundtrack and blending of genres.
I dunno, I think that movie is as bad as it looks

It's quite a bad movie, but it did inspire the creation of my podcast, so I don't hate it.
I love that premise! I am very good at doing that, turning mundane events into epic movie scenes with no shortage of hyberbole. I have frequently said that adding dramatic music to anything a cat or dog is doing, instantly makes it funnier.
Me and a friend used to do movie reviews but we had the added stipulation that we haad to get drunk while watching the movie and do the review immediately afterwards. A fan requested we do Battleship, which is the sole reason I watched this movie (and probably why I did not hate it outright).
-
If you skip the credits, you can watch all of it in less than 24 hours.
LMAO, any Tremors fan around here?
I'm still waiting for a Tremors vs Critters vs Gremlins movie. We have the technology to make it but what would Hollywood do after such a masterpiece? It would be pointless to make movies after that, none could ever top it.

Disney's "The Black Hole". It came from a time just after Walt Disney had died and they were still figuring out their shit.
So they made an extremely dark SciFi flick with a cute robot that appeals to children which is such a weird combination, but I liked it a lot. I can't even say why.
The U.S.S. Cygnus looks fucking badass, too. One of the best ship designs in a SciFi movie, change my mind.
Disney writer #1: Let's make a Tower of Babel parable, but set it space!
Disney writer #2: Are we going to end the movie with the antagonist being sent to actual-factual Hell?
Disney writer #1: You fucking know it!

The Cabin in the Woods. Only seen it once so far and I'm still floored thinking back on it and how well it did its thing.

Yes I absolutely am! Thank you!

WWF wrestler discovers magic sunglasses and yuppie aliens. It's a John Carpenter film and has one of the longest fist fights.
