Taxi (I) (2004)

Thanks America, for proving our point.

[1/10 · 2 March 2005]

This is such a perfect example of how you should NOT make a movie. A perfect example of how Hollywood is just getting worse and why they should STOP DESTROYING GOOD European MOVIES!

You can actually compare this to the original like Europe vs America. The french one is slick, funny and elegant, the American one is stupid, sad and sexist. Only Hollywood could turn the main character of the original into a black, trash-talking, "streetsmart" WOMAN, the bad-guys into hot, smart models and of course turn all the men into stupid fools. I didn't laugh once during the whole movie and I'm not hard to amuse.

So please, if you have to watch a Taxi movie, watch the original.

Out for a Kill (2003 Video)

Pretty bad..

[3/10 · 14 September 2003]

This must be the worst Steven Segal film I've ever seen.

The overall feel of the film was pretty cheesy and sometimes I felt like I was watching a tv-series. The visuals were very poorly done and I've seen better acting in pornographic movies.

The Last Dragon (1985)

I thought it was a comedy.

[5/10 · 8 September 2003]

How can anyone take this movie seriously? I actually thought it was an old Wayans film like "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka". It didn't suck, but I think it would do better as a comedy, because it was quite silly.

Then again, the 80s was pretty silly...

Head of State (2003)

Funnier than expected.

[7/10 · 3 August 2003]

I've always thought that Chris Rock is a genius when it comes to stand-up, but the movies he's played the leading role in, for some reason, haven't been that good. The jokes have been copied off his stand up routine and the script has be so so.

But this one is different. It was actually very funny. I had a good gutlaugh several times and the movie made a pretty good point, too.

Both Chris Rock and Bernie Mac did a good job in this one. If you like Chris Rock's and Bernie Mac's stand up, I'd advice you to watch this.

Scooby-Doo (2002)

Not as bad as I thought.

[6/10 · 7 October 2002]

I thought this movie would suck, but it actually didn't. The characters and animation were good, the plot wasn't half bad and the entertaining value was good.

Overall good entertainment. Worth a look.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

Why did they choose this movie?

[24 August 2002]

The movie isn't bad, but it's not great either. I can name plenty of other Hong Kong martial arts movies which are much better and more entertaining than this one. So why did they pick this one out of the 100000 Hong Kong movies released every year? and rated this high on imdb? My guess is that since this movie got picked/hyped and shown to western countries, they rated it this high. Not just in imdb..

What I'm getting at is that there are so many other great Hong Kong martial arts movies better than this one which I'd much rather see highly rated.

Charlie's Angels (2000)

If Bill Murray wasn't in it, I would give it a 1

[2/10 · 21 May 2002]

I think it's cool when people fly around and do unnatural stunts, but when they're not in the Matrix it's not the same, is it? And when three clumsy girls perform them it kinda takes the fun out of it. Drew Barrymore didn't even moonwalk right..

It it wasn't for Bill Murray's humorous input I would absolutely give this movie a 1. (girls in hot outfits maybe pushed the grade up a little.. maybe).

Battlefield Earth (2000)

How the hell did this movie get 2.3?

[7/10 · 27 March 2002]

I liked the movie. I've seen far worse movies get much better rating than this. eXistenZ has got a 6.8(!!) and THAT is the worse movie I've ever seen.

I'm not saying it's the best movie ever made, but it was entertaining and all that. I must really have a bad taste in movies since eXistenZ got a 6.8 and this got 2.3(I just can't get over it).

For those of you who actually WATCH movies.. it's not that bad. I would certainly recommend it.
