(1.Xanadu (1980) Legend has it they started filming this mess without a script --- Just the "concept" of big band music meeting 80's rock and roll. If you've seen it, it's hard to believe they EVER sat down and scripted this. I think they just filmed whatever the actors and directors wanted to do that day. (2.The In-Crowd (2000) A co-worker thought I might enjoy this because it's "disturbing" (there's a ringing endorsement right there) The most disturbing thing was the people hired to act in this movie can't act. I've seen better high school plays. (3 Gigli (2003) This is the film that officially ended the acting careers of Ben Affleck and J-Lo. (4. Cop and 1/2 (1993) Full of jokes too unsophisticated for most 4-year-olds. (5. McHale's Navy (1997) Tom Arnold as the Ernest Borgnine character? How aboiut a remake of "F-Troop" with Pauly Shore? Those are just quick, general impressions. I KNOW you can write funny stuff about ANY of those clunkers. I look forward to seeing your new feature!

It's not funny, it's not charming, and it's not even bad enough to be enjoyably crappy. Large swaths of it are cringe-inducing, and not in a good way like The Office and Freaks & Geeks. More like in the way that Jason Lee's Alvin & the Chipmunks trailer was unwatchably cringe-inducing. Good luck.

This cold war "story" has three American tourists getting drunk and deciding to sneak into the then Soviet Union across the Finland border. They somehow end up destroying a small town and are shocked and appalled that they are treated as terrorists by the Soviet army (who thinks they are being invaded). Born American? This movie made me EMBARRASSED to be American... well, embarrassed for the American movie industry anyways.

I'm glad I'm less sucky than the others, but I know that ain't true. Let the rampages begin At least you don’t to talk to Uwe Boll.
