I watched "Higher Power" on Hulu recently and really enjoyed it. The acting is definitely not going to impress anyone but I liked the concept.

I had a flat-mate back in the 90's, plus he was a guy that I'd been friends with in school. So I'd been watching movies on VHS with him for a long number of years.
He had an incredible skill at picking out the worst possible film to watch. This is the good ole' video store days, where you go in then sort of separate and wander off through the rows and rows of videos on racks. We'd do that and after a while he would roll over to me, holding some D list film, and say something like "This looks pretty good" .
I've watched a few of RedLetterMedia best of the worst, and been able to say: yep I've seen that one.

Guy on my team in Iraq was like this, but for shitty slasher movies, mainly Rob Zombie/Michael Meyers movies. This mother fucker would fuck us all over by downloading said movies over our shitty satellite connection. Fucker would take a week to download a movie all the while killing the connection making it unusable as he would be the one hogging all the bandwidth. Worst of all we paid out the ass for this connection $300 or so a month and it wasnt like there wasnt a shortage of movies. We had literally hundreds of movies at our fingertips to watch but nope this fucker wanted to watch rob zombie movies.
Also wtf man

lol, 20 yr old me would definitely watch that. they missed an opportunity to have cow people as their allies too. it definitely looks better produced than the bad movies i watched as a young person.

Chopping mall is awesome and Frankenhooker is an underappreciated classic.

damn, all the movies they called terrible back in the day are now considered classics. i couldnt tell anyone about Chopping Mall or Deadly Friend or Maniac Cop or even the Exterminator without getting looks like there was something wrong with me. now its like, "oh that movie rocks dude!". definitely a shift in thought since then.

They are terrible, but they were made with drive and passion. People took what they had and made movies better than the sum of their parts. These movies are awesome BECAUSE they are not "good films" but what they manage is something that modern movie makers have forgotten;
To be entertaining.
They are silly, stupid, crazy, nonsensical, and completely devoid of modern creative arrogance and entitlement. They are, in my opinion, everything modern films fail at being too often;
Fun. I don't need every movie to be a moving masterpiece examination into the human condition or a celebration of the evolution of the art and technology of film making or a creative exercise in character exploration and the subversion of expectation or a in depth work of art that cause me to question my role as a man and my contribution to the patriarchy and white supremacy.
These days I just want to watch something fun, but that is just me.

Interesting graphic. Some of these I've seen, some I know I've seen and really deserve another viewing after all these years. Some of them I never even heard of but seeing the company they are in, i'm curious.... oh and the caption of the pic was "its what is below the water that's dangerous".

So in prep for Fast 9, husband just made us marathon the rest of the F&F series. I've always thought these were dumb, stupid, ridiculous movies. And they are, but they're pretty fucking entertaining:
TFatF - Lots of campy shit, but I loved it. Simple story, but it worked and the characters were all great. Also, loved Paul Walker's doof, idiot, can't help it smile. Just looked genuine as fuck. Damn shame.
2F2F - This one, went downhill a bit. It was kind of boring as fuck and honestly I have no idea what the hell was actually happening in the last 30min or so of the movie.
TFatF:TD - Was not a fan. I really did not like the lead, and honestly just how convenient everything was to make the plot happen was too much.
F&F - Back to being good. Wasn't the biggest fan of the story, but good action and good to have Dom back.
FF - The end of this one is so goddamn ridiculous, it's great. Hobbs is fucking awesome.
F&F6 - Not as good as 5. Kinda felt what happened to Giselle was a bit cheap at the end.
F7 - Very, very good. Apparently used a shitload more CGI then I thought they did. I didn't really notice it at all until the very end during the send off. NGL I had to bust out the tissues for sure, but glad they handled his character the way they did.
TFotF - Not too bad, some of the shit was just a bit too over the top. I fucking hate the shit out of the Cipher character. Loved Shaw in this; Hobbs is still the best damn character. They did kind of forget to address Hobbs and Elena.
H&S - Actually the first of the series that I saw. Can't really remember much of it but remember it being fun and enjoyable. Wished there was more of Idris Elba than there was.
Ready to watch some fucking John Cena now, as ridiculous as the premise is.

Fast and the Furious are indeed some glorious popcorn fun. I unabashedly love their absurdity.
We almost tried to get our cars in the first movie as extras. They were filming where we used to street race. How ever we found out you had to let the imports win for the movie and that was a deal breaker.

Holy shit.
I went for a nostalgia trip and watched: Red Sonja
I'm pretty sure I watched it the once when it was first out on VHS. I can remember from then that the best parts were whenever Arnold was on screen. Being heavily into D & D there was a hope that sword and sorcery films would become a main film genre, this was a stepping stone despite being flawed. #didnthappen
I'll give it 2 / 10
Brigette Nielsen is such a crappy actor. Cringe watching her scenes. They have a young asian kid playing the Prince, he might be only slightly better than her, but their scenes together are terrible. I think back in the day my teenage self thought Brigette was one of the hottest things on the planet, so this all slipped by ( now knowing the train-wreck she became has killed my boner )
Oh yeah and the dialogue is so clunky with bad exposition thrown in where no one would be saying that - feels so jarringly un natural. It's worth watching for laughs at the script mostly.
In truth to my earlier self, the best parts are when Arnold is on screen. He was at the growing part of his career and was radiating personality.
I read up about the film after watching it, turns out Arnold was conned into his role. He was told it was a cameo, he'd film for less than a week. Turns out he was there for a month and his character was the second main character. He ended his 10 film contract with de Laurentis as a result. However he did get to plow hot young Brigette.
