Snow Day (2000)
Half of it was very good
I'll give this movie a 6 because half of it was entertaining. Parts of this movie were very funny. The little boy was very funny and the snowplowman was an interesting and amusing character. Chevy Chase was funny as a weather man, but the weather man war was kind of lame. They could have had a better and more entertaining battle. The teen love story just ate up too much time and seemed artificial. The snowmobile chase was a poor attempt to insert some action to keep the viewer awake. I would guess children would like this. It's silly fun. There are no explosions, nobody count, no nudity (but Claire is hot), and no foul language. All the essential ingredients that make bad movies popular are missing.
Shaft (2000)
What a stupid movie
Shaft is a cop who is a cop or quits being cop. It's hard to know what is going on, but he keeps acting like a cop who doesn't have to follow any due process. It's a movie where you have to accept this fantasy world where Shaft can do no wrong and no bullet can hit him and he always shoots the dumb bad guys who just stand out in the middle of street waiting for Shaft to shoot them. About 60 minutes into it I wanted the entire cast including Shaft to bite the dust. There is only so much stupid crap that can be tolerated. This movie just happens to be set in a big city where you can have a 20 minute shoot out and car chase and the cops never show up. Shaft seems to be the cop/non-cop in area except for this one lady cop who is too dumb to call for backup. The death count is high but not high enough to bring this lousy movie to a satisfying conclusion. Christain Bale is a very convincing as a dislikable rich guy who thinks he can get away with murder, but then everybody here thinks they can get away with murder, but they can't get Shaft. No, Shaft is too slippery for bullets. As a final assault on my poor eggshell mind the music accompanying every scene was pure torture. I'd rather listen to birds chirping in an underwater toilet. I thought only Steven Seagal would make movies this annoying.
The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)
Continuous Stupidity
I could not even believe a movie could be non-stop stupid for 100 minutes. I laughed a few times, but I had to take brain breaks because the dumbness was making me physically ill. Johnny Knoxville did a good job of acting stupid. Jackass was good education for this type of film. Seann Scott was also portrayed a complete idiot with flawless precision. The rest of the cast was quite horrible and could have been replaced with complete amateurs. This is one of the rare times the extras were actually more entertaining than the movie. I liked seeing what really happened to the General Lee after flying like a rocket. It became a totaled piece of scrap as soon as it hit the ground. I can't believe I'm wasting my time reviewing this garbage.
