Crap Movies

Anaconda should be watched as a prequel to Are We There Yet?

I was just reminded that not only is Joe Dirt a movie that exists, but one that I saw half a dozen times.

[Tommy]

Which begs the question. Once one bad movie that you can watch over and over that everyone else seems to hate?

Days Of Thunder.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist


Actually, no one hates that movie.

If I watch it over and over, how could it be a bad movie?

Spike Lee's Oldboy remake got dumped in to 583 locations this weekend. Without much of a marketing push, the movie tanked with just $1.25 million for the five-day frame ($850,000 three-day). Based on these terrible results, it's unlikely the movie hangs in theaters long enough to make it past the $3 million mark, making this one of the biggest bombs in recent memory.

Good. freak Spike Lee.

[Johnny English]

Spike Lee has made some great films in his time, but I don't know why anyone thought it was possible to remake Oldboy.

[Tommy]

Can people stop pretending that "Do the Right Thing" is a great movie? It's a gigantic pile of excrement.

[Johnny English]

a) You're wrong

b) He has made a lot of other movies, some of which are also great

c) You're still wrong.

25th Hour is the only Spike Lee "joint" that I like

[Johnny English]

Mo' Better Blues was fantastic, but I love Branford Marsalis so I may be slightly biased. That film has, IMO, the greatest soundtrack of any movie ever. Even if you don't like the movie you should own the soundtrack album.

I don't understand how you don't like Malcolm X. I know people have issue with Spike Lee's aggressive approach to his politics but it was still a fantastic piece of filmmaking and probably the best performance of Denzel Washington's career.

I remember liking most of his movies of his at the time I saw them, but I don't think I've ever watched one of his movies twice.  Maybe Malcolm X, but it still would have been ages ago.  I don't think his movies age well.  They have a definite time and place tied up in them.  For example, Get on the Bus would seem tired, trite, and shitty today, but I remember thinking it was decent when I saw it.  Ditto for Clockers, which is a 90s movie if I've ever seen one.  Come to think of it, that may be his problem.  He's still making movies like this is the 90s.  It's not, and those movies no longer gain traction.  I remember thinking that when I saw Kings of Summer and Mud.  They're 90s movies.  I can't imagine either one catching on with wider audiences today.  Spike branched out with Inside Man, which I thought was good, and then had this abortion of a movie.
