But why is it bad?
Cause it's sooo stupid it hurts looking at this stuff - and
even the action sequences are crap - what can be worse for
an action movie? But is there anything good in it?
Zilch. Zero. Nada. Nothing.
Director: Lee Tamahori
Cast:
Ice Cube, Samuel L. Jackson, Willem Dafoe, Scott Speedman,
Peter Strauss
The sequel to xXx with Vin Diesel - which wasn't a great
movie, but at least it didn't suck. Like this sequel. Which
does suck. Big time! Let's just hope there will never be a
xXx 3 ....
Sense and Sensibility
But why is it bad?
Because it is just plain boring! (Sorry, Karin) But is there anything good in it?
Not that i knew of.
Director: Ang Lee
Cast: James Fleet, Tom Wilkinson, Harriet Walter, Kate Winslet,
Emma Thompson, Gemma Jones, Hugh Grant, Emilie Francois, Elizabeth
Spriggs, Robert Hardy, Ian Brimble, Isabelle Amyes, Alan Rickman,

The movie to the Jane Austen book. Don't faint, they do it
on the screen - but you might miss it in case you are already
asleep.
Pret-a-porter (Ready To Wear)
But why is it bad?
Because it has no plot But is there anything good in it?
Only when you are a fashion-geek or you want to see some top-models
nude on the catwalk.
Director: Robert Altman
Cast: Tim Robbins, Julia Roberts, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia
Loren, Kim Basinger, Rupert Everett, Ute Lemper, Forest Whitaker,
Jean-Paul Gaultier, Tatjana Patiz, Cher, Thierry Mugler and
many others ....
Despite a lot of good actors and actresses, this movie is
simply a disaster - there is no plot except some rather funny
episodes with Tim Robbins and Julia Roberts, but if you are
not too eager to glimpse some nude models (at the end of the
movie), stay clear of this movie!
Rob Roy
But why is it bad?
Think of Braveheart without the action scences. But is there anything good in it?
Don't know - at least i didn't notice.
Director: Michael
Caton-Jones
Cast: Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange, John Hurt, Tim Roth, Eric
Stoltz, Andrew Keir, Brian Cox, Brian McCardie, Gilbert Martin,
Vicki Masson, Gilly Gilchrist, Jason Flemyng, Ewan Stewart,

Sorry, Liam, but this movie is no match to Braveheart - it's
139 minutes feel like 200, and you just can't wait till it's
over.
No Escape
But why is it bad?
It's dull, it's boring ... is that enough? But is there anything good in it?
Some nice action scenes - and if you really love trash, you
might like this movie.
Robbins (Liotta) is sent to prison for assassinating his
commanding officer. It is a prison nobody ever got out from,
runned by a private company, and the worst inmates are brought
to an island (Absolom), where there are two fractions - the
barbaric, cannibalistic "Outsiders", and the "good"
"Insiders" lead by "Father" (Lance Henriksen)

Mark Campbell

Kevin J. O'Connor, Tom Laughlin, Ian McNeice, Jack Shepherd,
Michael Lerner, Ernie Hudson, Russell Kiefel, Brian M. Logan
If you like to watch some cheap
action trash, buy the DVD
Street Fighter
But why is it bad?
Imagine Jean-Claude Van Damme as an extremely right-wing UN-officer
who'd rather let hundreds of hostages be killed than negotiating
with the baddie. But is there anything good in it?
Raul Julia kicking Jean-Claude's butt.
What you get is what you might expect from a movie about
a computer-game ..... except you maybe didn't expect this
nazi-like speech from Van Damme: " ..... &%$§$%
that UN-cowards who negotiate with terrorists! §%&"%
that hostages! §$§$$%! that "§%!§$%"
orders from your commanding officers! Who is coming with me
and kicking some b&%$?" - "YYYYYEAAAHHHH!!!"
Director:
Steven E. De Souza
Starring:
Jean-Claude Van Damme, Raul Julia, Kylie Minogue ....
only for hardcore Jean-Claude
van Damme Fans ... it's bad
even for a van Damme movie ....
The Glimmer Man
But why is it bad?
Cause it is even below the usual Steven Seagal standards. But is there anything good in it?
Might be good medicine for insomnia!
Steven Seagal is a police detective hunting a serial killer.
One of the victims is his ex-wife, and Seagal is considered
a suspect. And he does some Buddhist or other spiritual mumbo-jumbo
which is totally believeable .... ... not ......and he wears
that really fine necklace ......
Director: John Gray
Starring:
Steven Seagal, Keenen Ivory Wayans, and others
You don't want to go out to watch
this - but maybe you want to get it on DVD
and watch with friends at a party?

Batman and Robin
But why is it bad?
There are a lot of stars in this movie - and it seems like
everyone of them is playing in a movie of their own. And it
is cut so fast you'll get dizzy soon - which is not necessarily
a bad thing with this movie .... But is there anything good in it?
Might be. But i was too dizzy to discover it in case it was
there.

boring! But is there anything good in it?
Yep, if you like to watch Milla Jovovich!
Milla Jovovich and a bunch of expendable soldiers go
into the Hive to find out what happened there
