- DirectorJon M. ChuStarsAubrey SheaStefanie ScottAurora PerrineauAs a small-town girl catapults from underground video sensation to global superstar, she and her three sisters begin a journey of discovering that some talents are too special to keep hidden.It looks like they just lazily recycled the plot to the Josie and the Pussycats movie. With the direction style of a bad documentary about a music star.
- DirectorRaja GosnellStarsHank AzariaKaty PerryJonathan WintersWhen the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world into New York City.I don't recall the Smurfs being in NY or Paris "in the sequel."
- DirectorTim HillStarsJason LeeRoss Bagdasarian Jr.Janice KarmanThree musical chipmunks are discovered by an aspiring songwriter who wants to use their amazing singing abilities to become famous.Although it might have came off more creepy if they were as tall as they were in the series. Still they are pretty creepy.
- DirectorJon M. ChuStarsDwayne JohnsonChanning TatumAdrianne PalickiThe G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence.Channing Tatum may have sucked as Duke but Duke is the leader of G.I. in the show I grew up with. So you never just lazily kill him off in favor of a guy played by the Rock that I don't even remember in the series.
Oh and Bruce Willis literally plays a guy named Joe. When was that ever in the show ? - DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufMegan FoxJosh DuhamelSam Witwicky leaves the Autobots behind for a normal life. But when his mind is filled with cryptic symbols, the Decepticons target him and he is dragged back into the Transformers' war.And all the sequels. The first was actually a good start but Michael Bay needed to step aside and let another director take over. A different style with a different plot was needed 3 sequels ago.
- DirectorRod AmateauStarsAnthony NewleyMackenzie AstinPhil FondacaroDodger must confront the struggles of life as he is visited by the Garbage Pail Kids and intimidated by some older bullies.Yes it was actually made in the 80's. I collected the cards and yes collecting them were fun for a boy in the 80's.
But watching this movie was pretty horrendous. I have a good memory. I rented this the same day as Superman 4. Once was a enough and I even have more fond childhood memories of Superman 4.
That's how bad this was! - DirectorPeter HewittStarsBreckin MeyerJennifer Love HewittStephen TobolowskyJon Arbuckle buys a second pet, a dog named Odie. However, Odie is then abducted and it is up to Jon's cat, Garfield, to find and rescue the canine.Garfield isn't even the worse on the list. Hell it is the best on the list sadly.
But I grew up with the great 80's Halloween special. Along with the other great Garfield specials.
They almost got Garfield himself right despite him having way too much energy. Odie is a cute real dog in this but a cgi version of him and all the other animals would have made this better. - DirectorRaja GosnellStarsMatthew LillardFreddie Prinze Jr.Sarah Michelle GellarAfter an acrimonious break up, the Mystery Inc. gang are individually brought to an island resort to investigate strange goings on.I have actually seen this many times lol. The CGI dog is great; while Matthew Lilliard and Linda Cardellini are both great as Shaggy and Velma.
The plot however is really bad and Freddie Prinze Jr. just seems more concerned whether or not he should wear a blonde wig or dye his hair. And Sarah Michelle Gellar is cute but too goofy as Daffney.
While Scrappy Doo might have been some-what annoying; I don't think I would have made him the villain just for the hell of it. - DirectorJoel ZwickStarsKenan ThompsonKyla PrattOmarionFat Albert and the Cosby Kids come to life and step out of their animated, inner-city Philadelphia world.
- DirectorJames WongStarsJustin ChatwinJames MarstersChow Yun-FatThe young warrior Son Goku sets out on a quest, racing against time and the vengeful King Piccolo, to collect a set of seven magical orbs that will grant their wielder unlimited power.
- DirectorDavid KelloggStarsMatthew BroderickRupert EverettJoely FisherA security guard's dreams come true when he is selected to be transformed into a cybernetic police officer.
- DirectorGary GoddardStarsDolph LundgrenFrank LangellaMeg FosterThe heroic warrior He-Man battles against the evil lord Skeletor and his armies of darkness for control of Castle Grayskull.
- DirectorJosé PadilhaStarsJoel KinnamanGary OldmanMichael KeatonIn 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy, a loving husband, father and good cop, is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.
- DirectorHarald ZwartStarsJackie ChanJaden SmithTaraji P. HensonWork causes a single mother to move to China with her young son; in his new home, the boy embraces kung fu, taught to him by a master.
- DirectorMarcus NispelStarsJason MomoaRon PerlmanRose McGowanA vengeful barbarian warrior sets off to get his revenge on the evil warlord who attacked his village and murdered his father when he was a boy.
- DirectorMichael MannStarsColin FarrellJamie FoxxGong LiBased on the 1980s TV action/drama, this update focuses on vice detectives Crockett and Tubbs as their respective personal and professional lives become dangerously intertwined.
- DirectorJay ChandrasekharStarsSeann William ScottJohnny KnoxvilleJessica SimpsonCousins Bo, Luke, and Daisy Duke, and their uncle Jesse, egg on the authorities of Hazzard County, Boss Hogg and Sheriff Coltrane.
- DirectorJoe CarnahanStarsLiam NeesonBradley CooperSharlto CopleyA group of Iraq War veterans look to clear their name with the U.S. Military, who suspect the four men of committing a crime for which they were framed.The movie is decent. But they hardly feel like the characters from the show since Hannibal and Face are as crazy as Murdoch. And B.A. is a wimp through most the movie.
- DirectorBrad SilberlingStarsWill FerrellDanny McBrideAnna FrielA space-time vortex sucks scientist Rick Marshall, his assistant Holly and a survivalist Will into a world populated by dinosaurs and painfully slow creatures called Sleestaks.I grew up with it despite the show being from the 70's....I think. And have watched the 90's abc show as well.
Sure the movie is entertaining as a comedy but I sort of wish it was serious with the characters from the show.
