Team America: World Police (2004)
Just a silly, tasteless puppet movie (not that that's a bad thing)
I just got back from seeing this movie, and, reading the comments that already exist here, it amazes me that so many people are actually trying to attach some sort of political significance to what is just a simple, tasteless puppet movie. Wake up people! This movie is NOT a political statement! The basic goal of the movie is to offend as many groups as possible. There is no political agenda here.
The comment that really amused me was the commenter who said that he went to the film because he thought it would be "a political satire in good taste." From the makers of SOUTH PARK?! Surely the commenter jests!
Just go and take it for what it is; a very funny, tasteless puppet movie.
No Holds Barred (1989)
A good movie for kids????????
I'm somewhat amused and somewhat apalled that so many commenters have said that No Holds Barred is a good movie for kids. This movie contains many scenes of people being beaten severely and violently, one so bad that he ends up paralyzed. A man is fairly graphically electrocuted to death, a woman is viciously slapped many times and also narrowly escapes being raped in a parking garage. And, you see Hulk Hogan in some disturbingly skimpy underwear.
I'm no prude, but to say that this movie is a good one for children to watch is absurd. If I had children, I wouldn't let them within a mile of this piece of crap.
Dead Heat (1988)
Really, really dumb
I'm surprised that nobody has yet mentioned the single stupidest thing about this incredibly stupid movie. The fact that the main character who becomes a walking corpse is named Roger Mortis. That is such an obvious and unfunny pun on 'rigor mortis' that is soils the film from the first introduction of the characters, whereupon the whole film spirals down further and further into the realm of crap.
Atomic Twister (2002)
Really unintentionally funny
Atomic Twister is a film about tornadoes threatening a nuclear power plant written by someone who has apparently no knowledge of tornadoes or nuclear power plants. I'm not going into the plot here, because it's pretty simple, rather, let's take a look at what the writer messed up. First of all, I was not aware that, in Tennessee, they had "stealth" tornados. At one point, a character makes a call on his cell phone, then turns around to see a tornado about 50 yards away, bearing down on him. In reality, of course, tornados are so loud that one can be heard at least a mile away, if not more. Also, the impending tornadoes are always signaled by high winds whipping around the characters. The writer must have gotten tornadoes mixed up with hurricanes. The fact of the matter is that the air can be quite calm before a tornado strikes.
As for the nuclear power plant, the writer again drops the ball. The characters keep talking as though a meltdown will cause the plant to explode like an atom bomb. That is a total impossibility. The plant may suffer a meltdown and release large amounts of radiation, but it CANNOT explode!!!
All I can say is, watch Atomic Twister is you want a good laugh. Otherwise, stay clear.
