Twelfth DB movie... "Excess Baggage"

This was another movie that I saw with my younger sister. I remember that we went on the night it opened and we called ahead to see if they had sold out of the movie, and the person on the phone told us "no."

Of course they said "NO"--no one wanted to see this movie!

Silverstone's character was completely unlikeable (if that is a word)--do not see this movie (even with a family member that you love).

Take them somewhere else--they'll be glad you did!

Eleventh DB movie... "The Last Dragon"

I enjoy martial arts movies... I always have. I grew up watching "Black Belt Theater" out of Indianapolis on Saturday mornings on my little b/w portable tv.

This is absolutely the worst of all the bad martial arts movies that I have seen (and there have been many).

This is utterly ridiculous. No more can be said! (I had another friend from college who loved this movie as well--I think I need a better screening process for friend selection!)

Avoid this movie! Go get kicked in the head instead--you'll feel better!

Tenth DB movie... "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane"


I had another roommate in college who was a huge Dice fan. He would quote and laugh about this movie all the time. After I saw it, I could not figure out why.

AVOID this movie! Do something else for someone else! You'll be glad you did!!

Ninth DB movie... "Hudson Hawk"

I had a roommate long ago who loved this movie and told me how great it was. We sat down and watched it, and by the time it was over, I had talked him out of his feelings about this movie.

It is pointless and a waste of time... avoid at all costs! Go have a painful medical procedure done instead! You'll be glad you did!

Eighth DB movie... "Signs"

I only have two questions about this movie...

Why would aliens, who are seriously wounded by spilled water, attack a planet that is mostly covered by water? Or attack beings who are mostly made of water?

Hmmm...

Avoid this movie! See the "Sixth Sense" instead!

Seventh DB movie... "Catwoman"

Michelle Pfeiffer proved in "Batman Returns" that Catwoman could be a compelling enough character to center a movie around... Halle Berry's "Catwoman" disproved this.

The story is forgettable, the acting is too, even Halle Berry in the cat costume can't save this movie. Avoid this movie (and don't see "Batman Returns" either, not enough Catwoman and way too much Danny DeVito as a creepy and disturbing Penguin). See "Batman Begins" or "The Dark Knight"--you'll be glad you did!

Sixth DB movie... "Planet of the Apes" (2001)

I was actually looking forward to this movie, but I have quickly learned that any movie with Mark Wahlberg will usually be a disappointment. He is plastic, and has no screen chemistry whatsoever.

And, they gave the best line of the original movie to one of the apes: "Get your hands off me, you dirty human?" What?!?

Avoid this movie! See the original! (but skip most of the sequels--they were awful!)
