Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003)
Blah
I went into this movie *expecting* the worst. That's right. I knew it was going to be terrible and I saw it anyway. I had this whole plan of how I was going to ruin it for everyone by laughing way too hard at jokes that were really unfunny, just to make everyone turn and look at me and think "what's wrong with you", and repeat back lines that weren't witty at all, adding "that's so funny" and etc. Well, my little game got boring fast. After about 5 minutes, no one was responding at all to my little outbursts, so I just stopped and watched the movie. After twenty minutes of the movie, I was so annoyed and bored with the movie that I walked out.
This movie is the first movie I have ever walked out of. I'm quite the masochistic movie-watcher. I'll watch anything. This movie couldn't even maintain *my* interest. I laughed at the one scene where Lloyd wrote a message for his father in gigantic ketchup letters, but it wasn't a sustained laugh, and it was the only real one.
1/10, definitely. I've probably seen worse movies, but none come to mind right now.
Top of the Food Chain (1999)
Haha!
Reading the list of comments I found only one negative response. I find it very surprising that it comes from someone who's familiar with Plan 9 From Outer Space. If you like bad movies (for laughs, of course) I can't see how you could dislike this movie. I guess some people just don't have the patience (or brain power) for jokes that are subtle.
My personal favourite part of this movie is the "prayer" that Sandy delivers in song. Heh heh. I memorized it. Those who plan to see the movie shouldn't read this next part, as it contains many spoilers. :)
"They say that in Rupert's Land They found our Lady of Fatima's Hat. Holy Mary, Mother of God. They found your hat, How did it come off your head? Did you sneeze, Or drive in a convertable? Did a gust of wind take it away, Or were you eaten by aliens?"
As if the lyrics weren't hilariously nonsensical enough, the song's melody also bounces haphazardly. Listening to it just brings so many questions to a logical person's mind. Why is she praying about aliens? Why would this mysterious angelic matriarch be driving in a convertable? Why is it a song? Just brilliant on so many levels.
And of course, I love how they glaze over the fact that you can't tell what country they live in. The city is Exceptional Vista in Left Hemisphere, and the secret agent who aids them in finding the "moonmen" works for the "National Government", which is of course written on his ID card.
What I especially love is when Sandy points out a plot hole, after Karel tries to explain how "cool fusion" works.
I'd recommend this to everyone. Even to those who don't get it and find it unfunny. Maybe someday they'll learn.
Batman & Robin (1997)
Grapes!
George Clooney is brilliantly cast as Batman, aka Bruce Wayne who plans to reveal his true identity to Gotham at High Noon. But his loyal butler, Alfred knows that his enemies will take their war with him to his home. Working together with Robin and Batgirl, they disrupt his signal. This creates a disaster when Batman finds himself unable to communicate with the city when Mr. Freeze begins destroying it. The entire earth soon becomes a desolate place devoid of warmth and Batman has a long emotional scene where he comes to terms with how he failed everyone. Then, he remembers that his Bat-Time Machine is still functional and is able to go back and save humanity. Poison Ivy and Bane play Freeze's bumbling sidekicks who almost destroy Batman's great invention, but luckily it was equipped with an invincibility device. Mr. Freeze is killed when he's punched into a volcano, followed by Bane's armpits exploding and Poison Ivy's unconditional surrender, after which she joins Batman as his personal maid and successor to Alfred, who dies of writer's cramp. A must see for anyone who enjoys olives.
