Don't recommend a film!

[Charon]

Seen a pile of crap? Why not warn us off it before we inadvertantly check it out.

My pick for today...
Gothika.
Lighting, pretty good.
Special effects, seems well done right up until the end where it really sucks.
Underwater sequences, fantastic.
Story... Uck. It's the most blatantly obvious, almost cliché storyline. No twists, no turns. You'll guess whats coming long before it happens, which just leaves you annoyed waiting for it to happen, or waiting for a twist that never comes.
So far, the worst film I've seen in 2004 (and I even saw Garfield this year), and definately in my "bottom 10" of all time. I suggest you avoid it.

Now take up the reins, tell us about the bad films we must avoid.

signs if you have seen it you know what i am talking about if not DON"T SEE IT i would rather poke my eyes out with a red hot paper clip!

[daniel]

haha you little copycat with this anti thread;) Still I have decided on a film called "class of nuke'em High" the biggest B movie I have ever seen!!! PLEASE DO get this for the laugh it produces...trust me you will not be disappointed haha

Storyline: Cannabis is being grown next to a nuclear powerplant sending humans wakko and weird creatures crawling.

Special effects: haha you're having a laugh
Sound: Corny
Acting: laughable (perhaps the worst I have ever seen)
Watchability: Strangely you have to watch again to see if it were for real
other attributes: So silly it could classify as a good comedy. WATCH IT

Stranger still, the people actual give good ratings to this garbage and whats more it seems to have 2 sequels haha I'll just have to watch those for a laugh

I really hated butterfly effect. Even more the ending.
Avoid this movie unless your a death cultist.

I doubt after he died that the line of events would have changed for the better.
We are all responsible for causing hardships on people. Sometimes we know sometimes we dont. It's part of living.
This was a bad episode of the twilight zone.

The special effect's were good.

[Lord Draud]

i happen to be a death cultest so i might go see it but tehre is another movie i would like to bash the D&D movie, i know coming from me its odd but it SUCKED tehre was only one thing it had in common with D&D and that was the fuging title

[Astrolounge]

You mean the one that actually took some lines out of various books, often way out of context, And had dragons in it?
Yeah, it sucked the bonch. I mean in the maze scene there was what, like, three traps? In a suposedly undefeated THIEVES guild test? And the treasure at the end wasn't even trapped, I was so disapointed when the room didn't start to fill with sand or anything.
Lazy losers, they call that a death maze? My summer tower has more mechanical traps, and there just to keep out those ready to stop magic ones.

[Lord Draud]

i donno i mean the last room was pretty tricky who would havve though of useing a disable divice check and smash the clock timing how long you have to live?

[Astrolounge]

The last one was the spikes comeing down slowly right? I dont remember him smashing the timer, I thought he just jammed the rig entirely, or was it the thing behind all the flailing blades and stuff? Because if you mean that i think the sheer volume of protection around it would be a big hint. I don't know, I saw the film quite awile ago.
The swinging axes though, I couldn't figure out how they were supposed to be triggered by blocking off the light beams, I guess they have some magic about them, or some impossibly complicated series of pullys and gears...

[Lord Draud]

prolly magic i mean i heard that the tombs of old had tricks like that but how would the work??

[Astrolounge]

I know it baffels me.
The only way I can think of would be if the light was somehow concealing a thin thread or something.

[Lord Draud]

or perhaps the light was being used to heat a thin sheet of metal that was holding a pin of some kind once the light was blockd even for a secon the metal would cool slightly the metal then would bend or warp then the pin would be triped and bang the trap was spung!

[Astrolounge]

That would be a very tricky thing to set. And I am not sure it would be precise enough to time an ax trap... A good trick if it worked though.

[Lord Draud]

well the thing with trap builders is they loved to get inventive, cause once one trap was defeated the person know how to every time, so make all sorts of crazy shit

[Astrolounge]

The movie I saw recently finally answers a question I have always wondered about movies, "Can you judge a film by its title?"
Films like "Naked Lunch" would suggest no, however, the title for this flik makes a strong case to the opposite...

"It Came From Other Planets."

The rundown of this movie could be discribed as the very definition of a B-Movie, but somehow that seems too KIND.

I mean, sure, the special effects were minimal at best, the sound was poor, the lighting was often on the wrong character entirely, the plot was non-existant, and the aliens were bed sheets with one big, not to mention blurry, eye on them, each one held up by a guy with a pair of brooms...

...But this one guy, named Nathan, he said a pretty funny line.
Actually, it wasn't that funny.

But it's still the best thing I've seen this year. :)
