Another crappy movie that is actually quite enjoyable due to its trash-factor: Double Dragon. I especially love the name Geistman.
What? I love these movies but not because they're trashy!

Yes, that scene is pretty funny. Amazing CGI was used for the stunts and it was just downright scary.

I wonder if there's a single six year old that falls for this. Even back in the 80ies, this movie was abysmally bad.

Dear God! PLEASE! I can hardly breathe. Just seeing that movie again makes my brain hurt. Holy ****. Watching it NOW!

Edit: I actually watched the whole thing tonight. Boy...what a treat. My favourite part is at the end, where the cops open fire on the alien family in front of a gas station, causing a big explosion and killing the wheelchair kid, despite the fact that he's literally 50 feet from the blast. Then the aliens come out and bring him back to life. That scene was only beaten by the following scene, featuring the alien family taking an oath and becoming citizens of the United States, then they drive off in a pink convertible. The mind reels.

HAHAHAHA!! Don't forget the promise of a sequel they give to the viewer at the very end... "We'll Be Back!"

Chalk up Sleepy Hollow High. It's sooo bad that bonus features are actually the best part of the disk. I plan to re-watch it eventually, with the director/writer/producer/actor (all the same guy, of course) commentary. I've always wanted to hear the self indulgent spiel of the director of film. Almost did it with the movie Black Dahlia (not the one with Hiliary Swank, Scarlett Johansson, and Josh Hartnett, but the "cash in on a decent movie with the same title" piece of crap directed by Ulli Lommel) there would have been some egomanical stuff.

What about that movie....gawd I can't remember the name of it right now....Where the couple goes on vacation and goes out scuba diving. they get left by the dive boat and the whole movie is about them slowly giving up....literally two hours you're waiting for sharks (which are suggested through the whole movie as being on the verge of chowing down) to eat them...and nothing.

I'm glad my friend bought my way into that one......


UGH what was the name of that movie!

It's called "Open Water". And it is bad. Not a single bloody shark in the whole friggin' film.

Seriously? I've heard it's pretty bad, but you don't even see the sharks? Or they just circle around and never really do anything?

There already is an "Open Water II". Horrible, just downright horrible. Sure, the story is more or less interesting for about 15 minutes, but chucking two people into the water for 2 hours is just a bad idea.

That's it...I just didn't think it was out yet, thus the "gonna be".

Gahaha! I was watching this with my cosuin a few days ago, and we both agreed in about 10 minutes that this was a very crappy movie. So in the end we turned the sound down and made up our own story with the movie. And thus, DIY dubbing saves the day again

So it's not D2D, but it actually was released in theaters....wiggy. I could have sworn this wasn't a theatrical release.

Oh man I watched this movie called "Going Overboard" starring Adam Sandler... Horrible. I think it was his first movie and it was so so so bad. We all just sat around and laughed at how pathetic it was.

And Catwoman with Halle Berry... yikes, what a disaster.

Nice necropost, but since it's one of those "oh snap, I saw the worst thing ever" threads, it's cool.

I hated "High School Musical" I know theres all theis hype about how awosme it is, but I hated the chateacter development. "We all hate eachother" then 5 minues form the end. "No, we don't were all in this together" (whatever that means) *song number* Plus the stereotypes are pretty bad.

The songs are annoyingly catchy. I keep getting them stuck in my head.

There's gonna be a sequel.
