you are just sore because my universe is better than your universe.
 
I don't think so - in your universe Aussies are yankee syncophants.

Due to how **** this movie was i will make this extremely quick and i'm sorry if it as already been reviewed.

I can honestly say that this is the worst movie that i have ever watched in my life. It is the lesser man's gravity. The movie is around 150 mins meaning we have to wait at least an hour before they are even in space. Then for 20 mins they start talking scienclygibergaber about black holes and then go to a planet. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but after another 20 mins they are off the planet when it should have lasted a maximum of 10 mins. Then when you think it can't get any slower it does and for the next 70+ mins we go on an adventure through space which could of last 30 mins and an ending which makes 0 sense polishes this amazing movie off. My timings are just estimates so are not exact but this was the most slow paced, boring movie i have ever watched. I have decided to stick to David Attenborough for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for reading my rant fuelled with anger,
Best Regards,
Squirrel Monkey.
 
I've seen The disaster movie (2008) and Jack and Jill (2011) and i actually quite liked both movies, but i am quite immature.
 
I've seen 8 or 9 as well. Robot Monster, while certainly being one of the worst movies ever made with crap production values and a stupidly funny script at times, is a movie I actually enjoy because of its crapiness.

Of course, it helps to see it in a movie theatre full of other 'B' movies afficianados.

Plan 9 was dumb, but entertaining, but Glen or Glenda was actually painful to watch.

I saw Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever at the movies and I didn't mind it. I can't remember anything about it but I know I didn't come out of the movie thinking "that was crap!"

:p

I just read through the worst movies thread and my comments on Ecks vs Sever weren't there, so I'm not sure which thread they went into. But, yes, bad bad movie.

EDIT: I remember now, I saw it on a ferry in Fiji so I wrote about it somewhere else and not on Zoochat.
 
The funny thing about bad movies is that no matter how bad, disgusting or downright terrible a movie is, there will always be someone who will defend, relativise, euphemise or downright appreciate it, despite its (for the majority) apparent awfulness. Part of human nature, I guess. What aggrevates me personally, though, is that bad movies can be financially more successful than good ones, thus furthering their spread. Adam Sandler, anyone?
 
'Beasts of No Nation' is an Idris Elba filmed that was released in cinemas at the same time as it was available on Netflix - the future of movies, perhaps?

Anyway, this is a fantastic movie about an unnamed African country torn apart by civil war, and revolves around a child soldier and a warlord (Idris). If you enjoyed 'Lord of Ward' and 'Blood Diamond', then you will enjoy this movie. 8/10 rating from me.

Thanks for the review. I have it in my Netflix cue and will give it a try.
 
I saw a neat movie the other night, The Man From Earth from 2007. It is a low-budget non-action movie filmed entirely with eight main cast members, three more actors who basically just walk on and off again, one living room, and a patch of ground around a parked car.

One of the cast is the guy who played Dr. Phlox on Star Trek: Enterprise and (to my total surprise when I was just checking IMDB) another is William Katt who was The Greatest American Hero!! Turns out William Katt has done tonnes of roles all over the place in tv and movies. Who knew.

The plot is that at a going-away party the person leaving decides to reveal to his friends that he never dies or ages, and that he is now around 14,000 years old. The entire movie is talking, with the main character telling his story and his friends questioning him, believing him, disbelieving him.

There are no car chases or explosions or beheadings or transforming robots. It is not a good movie for nanoboy.

I give it, let's say.... seven out of ten.
