The Core (2003)
Could be the worst movie ever
Because I am generally a fan of sci-fi films, I gave this movie a few hours of my time this afternoon.
After about ten minutes of (spoilers): Confused pigeons flying into windows, the Space Shuttle landing in the "LA River," ridiculous electrical storms and unrealistic plot lines, I found myself wishing the Earth's magnetic field was really screwed up so I could be taken out of my misery.
There is nothing positive about this movie to report. Sometimes bad movies still have some kind of unexplainable charm, but this piece of cinematic trash can't even deliver there.
Films like this are supposed to AT LEAST have decent special effects, but not this gem! The "exciting" space shuttle scene looked like somebody took their toy shuttle and threw it off a roof while filming with their new camcorder... horrible! I truly feel insulted that a motion picture company would sign off on this and expect anybody with an IQ over 50 to like it! In fact, I'm heading out for treatment right now because I'm doubting my own sanity because I actually sat there and watched it! Trust me... skip this and watch something else!
The Mysterious Monsters (1975)
This film is great!
I can remember this movie coming to my local movie house as a child and I begged and begged my dad to take me but he refused knowing I would be scared senseless and I was.
I recently watched this movie again as an adult, and while not quite as scary, it was still charming and informative. The information presented is just as valid today as it was when the movie was made.
Especially entertaining is an ultra-serious Peter Graves who tries to convince the viewer that every bit of info presented is uncontestable proof that Bigfoot, the Yeti, and the Loch Ness Monster actually exist.
The re-enactments are fairly realistic and are not nearly as corny (or scary for that matter) as expected. The film is fast-paced and easy to understand.
While this isn't one of the all time great films ever made, "The Mysterious Monsters" is plenty entertaining, especially for true Sasquatch buffs. It is definitely worth a few hours of your time!
