Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1995) (series)
It was dumb, but, unlike it’s spin-off Xena, I never liked it. There’s no insight, Kevin Sorbo has no charisma, and there’s no Gabrielle. Instead, we have a sort of metrosexual Michael Hurst. And the scripts were very stupid. And above all, there’s no cool war cry.
What Women Want (2000)
While Mel lets his charisma and undeniable great comedic talent work to the fullest, there’s no one who can second him. And that includes the screenwriters and the director.
Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Axel's second outing stays true to the Hollywood strategy that a proper sequel must have more of everything. It's a shame that it's true to that strategy even in the significant loss of fun.
Hercules in New York (1970)
Arnie claims his place under the sun. Too bad that he does it in a film that could have ended its career right at the beginning. And no one would be surprised.
Duel (1971) (TV movie)
The direction is perfect, you have to hand it to Steven, but somehow he forgot that a film should also entertain for the whole duration and not repeat itself like a stuck record over and over again after half an hour.
Red Heat (1988)
I be in sauna. I go to West. In West different ideologia. It evil. My good. My Western partner bad. I slap some. My Western partner not so bad. I drive bus. I get watch. My Western partner not at all bad. He good man like me. I must fly home now. I at in good Commie movie, it good in my filmographia. I very satisfactory.
Shrek 2 (2004)
Shrek 2 is a classic sequel, everything that worked last time is here to a greater extent. That bothers me a lot with other films, but with Shrek, paradoxically, I appreciate it. Probably because of the Cat's eyes or the strain on my diaphragm after every screening.
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Yes, maybe it's emotional blackmail of the coarsest kind. Maybe.. I'm sure it is, but try explaining it rationally to my then childishly naive tear ducts.
Under Siege (1992)
A former Playboy model and a hard-working cook. Instead of a warm romance amidst the steely coolness of a floating world unto itself, there's a contact action flick about a guy who could beat the shit out of those steel gates.
The Devil's Backbone (2001)
Visually impressive and the script isn't too shabby either, but this type of film stands and falls with atmosphere, and I found it desperately lacking here.
