Boy, did I hate this movie. I thought it would be something along the lines of “Mystery Men” (which I enjoyed quite a bit) but I could NOT get into this.

So, thinking this will be in the cute ET or Batteries Not Included genre, I gather two granddaughters and we sit down to watch.  They didn’t make the half-hour mark and I fell asleep soon after.  I woke up and FF’d through to the end.  No engagement.  Plus it’s got that annoying found-footage look.  A major misfire.  Rewatch the two I mentioned above, or maybe Super 8 instead.

Well!  I’ll never be able to watch The Princess Diaries in quite the same light.  All in all, a pretty crummy film.

Watched this again just to check out Ryan Reynolds in action mode (he was being considered for Repairman Jack).  He’s pretty damn good.  Plays a great wise ass.  His scenes with Parker Posey are super.  (High FF because I skipped much of the rest of the film.)

Could not get into this.  Very predictable.  Sort of a white-trash version of “When Harry Met Sally.”

I saw this because I’m a fan of the comic.  Wish I hadn’t. How can you make such a mess of a comic considered by fans and professionals alike to be one of the greatest of all time?  Samuel Jackson was beyond awful.  In the comic, all you ever saw of the Octopus was a pair of gloves, and that was…enough. Eisner wrote a million storylines. This was crap. Avoid this. I’m a “Spirit” fan…I had to see it. You don’t.

Sort of saw this. I put it that way because I fell asleep halfway through. Maybe it got more interesting but I was not engaged enough by what I’d seen to go back and check out what I’d missed.

Very low budget.  I’m a firm believer in less is more, but in this case, less is definitely less.

Love spaghetti westerns, hated (that’s HATED) this one. Story, dialogue, acting, production, direction – all terrible. Even the props were bad! Ugh! Avoid at all costs.

Any film that can’t exist without the protagonist making an unimaginably stupid, selfish, stupid, reckless, stupid, narcissistic, stupid decision at the onset, had better be one of the best damn movies ever made to overcome that. Sinister does not come near surmounting that enormous burden. And when, after finding that first home movie, El Protago doesn’t grab his wife and kids and run like hell, the film only digs a deeper hole.
