Suck movies
SavannahLion:
I'm not sure what it is, but I find myself enjoying films less and less. Not so much recent movies like Star Trek or Up (in theaters now ;D ) but the kind of movies one might rent, or through Comcast OnDemand, or through other means, on a Friday night when looking forward to a weekend of vegetating. For instance, last weekend, one such major suck film I came across is the 2007 release, "Kickin' It Old School." WTF is this crap? I'm one for suspending belief during a film, but this one really pushed my patience. It bills itself as a comedy, but the jokes are so lame, brain dead or cliched, it might as well be billed as a low budget horror flick. I got about fifteen minutes into the film before I turned it off (right about when he throws a ---Cleveland steamer--- fit and starts moving around like a defective wax mannequin during an Earthquake).
This weekend, I came across the horror flick, "Bruiser," by George Romero (of * of the Dead fame). Now for George Romeros stuff, I can suspend a lot of belief when watching his films. I mean, seriously, as much training I pick up playing zombie games, the chances of a full scale zombie invasion is pretty much slim to none. I didn't even get five minutes into this film. As soon as the damn dog stepped on a floor mounted switch to a table saw in a kitchen the protagonist just happens to be eating breakfast on, I had to switch the film off. What kind of retarded dumb ---Cleveland steamer--- buys a table saw with a floor mount switch that a dog is capable of powering on? Even using a standard light switch mounted on the table saw doesn't hold a candle to that kind of stupidity. :dizzy:
Oh well.... At least Crank was entertaining and someone else convinced me Memento is worth watching. Got Bolt for the kids, but I'm not sure if I'm in the mood to watch any Disney. I just recently discovered that MASH is actually a film and not just a TV show, I think that might be an interesting watch on cable.
Anybody got some interesting films to recommend that don't suck?

Be prepared for this to be different, much different in some regards, than the TV show. Just an FYI... :)

I'm a huge Romero fan, and I agree that Bruiser is pretty bad. You should've gave it more than five minutes, though. It's not THAT bad.
Ummon:
Crank looks pretty lame. Memento was GREAT.
M.A.S.H. was a book, then a film (which I think was far closer to the likeness of the book), and then a TV series. Haven't read the book, and haven't seen the movie in an age, and I don't think all the way through. I grew up on the show and even though I like the 'second era' episodes more, especially with their more serious themes, the movie I didn't 'get'. Have to go back an see it, maybe.

I watched the latest, and hopefully last, Steven Segal movie this weekend. It is Against the Dark, and I am pretty sure it will finish off his career. He is so out of shape, he couldn't do any fight scenes; they just showed him , then cut away, then went back to him when he was just standing there again. He was never much of an actor, but the fight scenes where great in his older movies. It was actually really sad to watch. Since I made my girlfriend start the movie, she made me finish it - torture!
