I want to genuinely like this movie. I really do. But to this day, I can't tell if this is a great movie concept brought down by a lot of stupid moments, or a cheesy idea elevated by some decent moments. Warp as a terrible thing? Great idea. Possessed spaceship? Makes more sense than a haunted...

Heh. I remember this one from my teenage days, when they ran this kind of movie on Saturday nights on local TV affiliates. Yes, it's completely ludicrous (roaches becoming what they eat and all), but it's surprisingly entertaining for a low-budget film. And Corman plagued with roaches...

I wanted to like this movie. I really did. But those transitions from one type of movie to another, the thing you hold up as clever, I call disjointed. It felt very much like this film didn't know what it wanted to be. Twisting the narrative only works if you lay the foundation for the twists...

Darn, late to the party this time. Oh well. 10: I didn't actually intend to see this, but circumstances in a motel room changed that. It was utterly, irredeemably forgettable. 9: Yeah, Johnny Depp needs to vet his scripts a bit better from now on. 8: Really? I knew you didn't like this...

Internally coherent? Perhaps. But that doesn't change my point, though, and that's probably why I'm not the biggest Godzilla fan. The only Godzilla movies I've liked are the ones that either paint him as a villain (like the original movie) or where he keeps the collateral damage to a minimum...

Twenty? Ho boy, this is going to be fun. 20: Huh. I haven't seen this one, so I can't judge quite yet. But on principle I don't know if I'd put Interstellar here, just cause I can't see it being a "bad film," just middling. Then again, your opinion of the movie is my opinion of How To Train...

Well, it's that time of year again (oh, wait, you said that already, Bob). My own critiques of Bob's list - 10: This one looks interesting. Haven't seen it. 9: Haven't seen this one either. Also looks interesting. 8: You know, I liked this one, but not as much as I wanted to. The logic...

First off, thanks to Mike Hoffman for the reviews. You know, I've come to think of TLoK much like I think of the Hobbit movies - good at times, almost great in a few places, but just not as good as what came before. Part of the problem with this series is that plotlines come and go too...

I was actually referring to how Pixar films tend to be both commercial and critical successes (with some obvious exceptions *cough Cars cough*), so I have a hard time believing that critics don't hold "kid flicks* up to a certain standard. Yet I honestly feel that HTTYD2 somehow got "easy A'd"...

I think we could add a few more lessons to contemplate from this summer season: *) Shockingly, Tom Cruise can still carry a film - you just need to convince more people to watch him again. *) More Godzilla... seriously, just add more Godzilla. You'll make almost everyone happy. *) This...

The objective was just to burn everything, level the place, and hope they got every spec of the creature before it could freeze again. The final confrontation is probably the weakest part of an otherwise great movie, as our characters start getting a little stupid towards the end. Still, one of...

First off, thank you Heather for the recaps. Secondly, I have to say that this show is literally a guilty pleasure for me - I feel guilty for having watched it. While it had a lot of interesting, compelling characters, it only had two good seasons where the show felt stable and halfway...

I love the novella, and I was really looking forward to the movie. And nine-tenths of the movie is good and faithful. But that ending? That ending... It was too much. It turned a harrowing story of survival and the darkness of the human heart into a "screw you, the universe sucks" moment...

Lots of good responses so far. I suppose it's fair for me to say which movie disappointed me this summer. The answer might surprise you: How To Train Your Dragon 2 Honestly, I really enjoyed the first one, and based on the 92% RT rating I expected to enjoy the sequel just as much. But...

I don't remember a lot of the movies I saw in theater. I suppose Hitman was one that I hated after I saw it. There's also been some really lame horror movies that I saw in theaters that I was disappointed in. There's more for sure, just can't think of them. Also, The Dark Knight Rises. The...
