Mal ,'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The movie's sole good point is that it's very upfront about how utterly craptastic it's going to be. The teaser sequence made it quite clear that I wouldn't be able to stand a full 90 minutes of it.
So, that's one that Caroline Dhavernas will be leaving off her resume if she's smart then?
Here's the list of 0% fresh from this decade-- 64 movies. [link] Including such gems as Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever; Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2; National Lampoon's Gold Diggers-- which "breaks new comedic ground for National Lampoon"-- the sequel to K9 (I did not know there was one); and more than one sequel to Beethoven (the one about the dog).
The 90s are even better: [link] The Mod Squad; the original Baby Geniuses (I guess sequels CAN be as good as the original); Mr. Magoo; Kazaam; Highlander 2 and 3; Dunston Checks In; The Scout; Jury Duty....
I didn't love Highlander 3, but there's NO WAY it deserves the same ranking as Highlander 2. No movie deserves that.
I'm also surprised that Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever got such low marks. It seemed typically bad, not exceptionally.

I actually think that would "help" it in the Rotten Tomatoes bad-movie stakes. Something exceptionally bad might find one goofball to think it's so bad it's awesome.

I'm with you. Highlander 2 was sucktastic. Highlander 3 was pretty much a retread of Highlander 1 with better special effects and worse writing.
But Lucy Liu was awesome!
People are just mean.

That's how I felt about The Tuxedo, which begins with a deer peeing in a river. Unfortunately, I stayed for the whole thing.

It's fascinating. Only one Highlander movie is on there, though: Endgame (which one is that?)

Their list of movies prior to 1999 is incomplete.
Okay, see -- Half Baked was so much fun! Not bad. Pfft. Silly people.
The Highlander: Endgame thing is unfair. I think they should have entered Highlander 2 into their database, because that's just misleading.
