Magnolia (1999)
Eclectic Garbage
The paucity of creativity in this piece of junk is best illustrated by the painfully loud sound track that uses the cheapest of all tricks -- crescendos in the background music to try to create a suspenseful mood. Arrogance abounds. The tickets should have come with earplugs and refund slips.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
The only fear is that you wasted your money
This is the biggest hoax since some forgotten fake snuff film I watched 25 years ago. It could have been made in a couple weekends with a three-figure budget. The only thing that kept me from walking out is I kept thinking it would get better: it didn't.
Lord of the Dance (1997)
Like MTV
The production values in this video are so poor that it is unwatchable. The performance took second place to the overwhelmingly creative hijinks of the studio wanks, with about thirty special effects per minute. It is filmed through a cloud of smoke, only one or two seconds duration per shot and frequently, background spotlights shine directly into the camera. The lighting was terrible for filming. There is constant zooming in and out with a total lack of visual continuity. There may have been some good dancing available to the live audience but the video viewers will never know.
Deep Impact (1998)
Corny Science, but attention getting
Not too bad and not too good. The science was very poor but the fiction better. Certainly watchable, if not memorable.
Evil Come Evil Go (1972)
Makes Thelma and Louise look like girl scouts
One of the most "different" movies around. Rather amazing in its graphic sexuality combined with an old fashioned values environment.

Only found one laugh in the whole movie. Other than the canine, didn't see much to enjoy. Did like the Matt Dillon character.
