Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Credit goes to the filmmakers for returning to the visual style of the original movies of the series, and the Indiana Jones movies have the best punching sounds ever. But I’m not sure if “modernizing” Indy, even if it’s just the 50’s, really works. By extension, would a movie about…

Threesome (1994)

A deeper story (and not just these guys having sex or talking about having sex), or even a single subplot, would have made things a lot more interesting. The cheesiness makes me feel like it tried to be one of the last 80’s movies. Charles is pretty cool. This film…

National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze (2003)

Pretty horrible movie, but Boti Bliss and Cameron Richardson are particularly hot.

The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

The Wes Anderson quality and quirkiness is definitely there, and he usually gets by just fine with only a marginal story, but this just isn’t enough.

Just One of the Guys (1985)

So horrible. Cheesy story, horrible acting, and barely casted. Zabka isn’t enough.

Employee of the Month (2006)

Cook is not annoying. Shepard was actually more entertaining. Simpson is cute but not showcased nearly as much as she could have been.

The Rules of Attraction (2002)

Pretty raw stuff. A few too many “cool” kids doing “cool” things, though. A dramatic story, instead of just dramatic characters, would have helped. Van Der Beek is refreshingly slimy and disturbed. Biel’s body in this one is just about perfect. Victor’s travel sequence is genius.

My Cousin Vinny (1992)

Almost cute. Tomei is foxy.

Batman Returns (1992)

Nothing special, and neither is Keaton. Pfeiffer’s Catwoman might be the sexiest female character of the 90’s.

Superman (1978)

Reeve becomes a hero for our generation. Kidder is perfect. Haackman’s just getting warmed up, in both the series and his career. The flying is a little wobbly, but overall, the effects are passable. Didn’t realize Superman Returns copied/paid homage to so much of the dialogue from this movie.
