THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE SOMEWHAT CRAZY
Battlefield Earth [DVD] [2000]Battlefield Earth [DVD] [2000]
Buy used from: £1.45
BAD: it can't have been the money, so what on EARTH possessed the usually solid and reliable Travolta to appear in this turkey-supreme of abysmal sci-fi? Perhaps the catering was an inducement...
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou [DVD] [2004]The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou [DVD] [2004]
Buy new: £5.68 / Used from: £2.20
BAD/CRAZY: here's a film - almost unique in my experience - that I simply cannot fathom(!) out or connect with on any level. Whatever lays at the heart of this complete toss has certainly passed me by
Lady in the Water [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Lady in the Water [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
Buy used from: £1.10
BAD: more sleep required, M Night. High pretension levels (see also 'Signs' and 'The Village') are off the scale here - proof that the actor/director needs to remove his head from his posterior
Con Air - Extended Cut [DVD] [1997]Con Air - Extended Cut [DVD] [1997]
Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £3.87
GOOD/CRAZY: he's a bit of a smug ole bastard at times but Nicolas cage knows how to handle a testosterone overdose when it arrives. On a par with The Rock
The Grinch [DVD] [2000]The Grinch [DVD] [2000]
Buy used from: £1.74
BAD: this movie demonstrates why Dr Suess is infinitely better on the page than on the screen. Director Ron Howard blows it big time here (unlike Amazon colleague...thanks, friend)
Thunderbirds [DVD] [2004]Thunderbirds [DVD] [2004]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.02
BAD: this film is both good and original. Unfortunately, the parts that are good are not original and the parts that are original are not good
The Marx Brothers Collection - A Girl In Every Port/The Cocoanuts/Room Service/Love Happy [DVD]The Marx Brothers Collection - A Girl In Every Port/The Cocoanuts/Room Service/Love Happy [DVD]
Buy new: £15.78 / Used from: £16.99
GOOD/CRAZY: it's the age-old dilemma...the desire to acknowledge Groucho's supreme wittiness vs the irrational desire to punch out his glibly smartarse lights. As for Harpo...
War Of The Worlds (2 Disc Special Edition) [2005] [DVD]War Of The Worlds (2 Disc Special Edition) [2005] [DVD]
Buy new: £3.88 / Used from: £0.45
GOOD/BAD: what kind of a role model...A: doesn't use his foreshadowed skills (crane driver) to save anybody? B: lets himself get swept away by events? and C: stays the same? Step forward Tommy Cruise
Attack Force [DVD] [2006]Attack Force [DVD] [2006]
Buy new: £4.58 / Used from: £0.47
BAD/CRAZY: I've a lot of time for ol' wispy voice but Sell-By dates are there for a reason, Big Fella. Respect, but holster the gun, step away from the script and hand yourself in NOW
Star Trek 1: The Motion Picture - The Director's Edition [DVD] [1979]Star Trek 1: The Motion Picture - The Director's Edition [DVD] [1979]
Buy used from: £11.99
GOOD/CRAZY: closet Trekkie am I, but the scene where Scotty shuttles Kirk round the refurbed Enterprise sure is a toe-curler. It's love all right (but not as we know it)
