Bonnie & Clyde (2013)
What the?
I don't know how this could have been any worse.
First of all, I am a huge Bonnie & Clyde history geek and I know a thing or two about them. That being said, I don't mind some dramatization liberty in the storytelling, but when you just make it up??? Oh come on!!
This was not anywhere close to being accurate in any way shape or form. This is not history. This is a half#$% attempt at story telling all to make a quick buck.
Bonnie & Clyde were white trash thugs and nothing more. They were not attractive at all, even for those times, and Bonnie was very short. But if they want to spiffy them up a bit... fine.. but you don't have to make Clyde a freaking psychic!!!.. You worthless, no talent, monkey writers.
Then, Bonnie being some Hollywood dreamer and breaking into some fake newspaper reporters home boasting about herself... are you kidding me?
And what was with the ballerina Bonnie? So so stupid.
The people who created this should have their careers tank. They deserve it.
In conclusion... This gets the lowest possible rating, and for anyone reading this, and were thinking this was accurate, please don't. Look up the story. You can find addresses of the famous places and some still exist today. Such as the Barrow gas station. You can visit them on google maps.
Tarzan and the Jungle Boy (1968)
I liked it
This is a formulaic Tarzan movie. You have your girl, natives, and even a jungle boy. You would think that it would be pretty lame, but it's not. If I had to guess, I would say that the people making this movie knew how formulaic it was and so they pulled no punches. It's a simple Tarzan story and that's the way it's presented.
First, the movie takes place in Africa. It doesn't try taking Tarzan to far off places. It's stays right in Tarzan's backyard.
Second, Mike Henry does a much better job in this one than any other one. It was like he finally figured out how he should play Tarzan.
Third, the boy, played by Steve Bond, does a really good job. He doesn't over act and is believable.
Fourth, the evil and good natives, who are brothers in real life and in the movie do a great job. They are fit and much like everyone else, they don't over do it.
Fifth, the girl, Aliza Gur, is very pretty and has your classic 60's look. Wearing the riding pants, boots, low cut top, long hair with the wide head band. She looks like she stepped off the set of the Beverly Hillbillies.
So if you want a simple Tarzan movie that you can get into, this one will definitely work.
Dinner for Schmucks (2010)
Not funny at all
OK... Get this...
I am on a plane from the USA to Japan. It takes over nine hours of travel.
In these nine hours there is nothing to do except sleep, read, and watch movies. I have already read my book, I am not sleepy, and all I can do is watch a movie.
One of the movies to watch was 'Dinner for Schmucks.' I am not really a fan of the people in the movie, but everyone else seems to like them so I decided to give it a go.
I made it through about a quarter of the movie before I turned it off. I would rather stare at a luggage compartment than watch this god awful thing. I can't even begin to explain how bad it is. Not one single laugh through the first quarter of the movie.
Think about it.... Nothing to do on a plane for nine hours and not even this movie could keep me occupied. It was that bad!!!
It gets one star just because it is a movie and not a sharp stick poking me in the eye.
DO NOT WATCH!!!
Satan's Cheerleaders (1977)
I actually own this movie... it's the best of the worst.
I read through all the other reviews and I can tell some people get it and some don't.
This is definitely one of those "so bad it's good" movies. Matter of fact, this may the best of those types of movies.
If you are thinking of watching it to get scared, don't. It was made in 1977 and it's a B-movie. You are not going to be scared.
If you are going to watch it because of cheerleaders.. well maybe. There are half naked bumbling cheerleaders in it. But again.. it was made in 1977!
But if you like really campy satanic B-movies, you are going to love it.
The first time I saw this was when I was just a kid and TV's still had UHF. Back then, scary movies would come on late at night. This came on during one of those times and I saw at a very young age. It stuck with me my whole life.
Later, when Amazon.com started and DVD's were not yet common, I had Amazon find this movie for me. They did, and I have a really old copy on VHS.
Basically, if you look at the people on here that rated it bad. They still watched the whole thing. If it was really that bad, they wouldn't be able to finish it.
So the truth is that it is a bad movie, but still a totally watchable movie and a fun movie to watch. So in that case... it's actually a good movie... actually a great movie!!

Omen IV: The Awakening (1991)
It's not that bad
People say this movie is horrible, but I disagree. 'Return to horror high' is a horrible movie. I couldn't even finish that, but Omen 4 I easily finished.
It's nothing great, it's very typical, but it has some interesting stuff in it.
The ending is pretty good and makes the movie. I didn't see the ending coming, and I like that. Usually I can tell how the movie will end by about a 1/4th of the way into it. But this ending surprised me. Which makes this not horrible.
Watch it with an open mind knowing it's a TV movie and you will enjoy it, at least a little.
There were supposed to be more TV movies after this one, but they decided not to do it. Which if they don't make money, there is no reason why to make more. But I actually kind of like this being the final one. With Omen 3, the Antichrist dies. You can't have the Antichrist dying. At least with this movie it ends with the Antichrist alive and well. Which means that even if we don't have any more movies, we know that he is out there some where. Which is the way it should have ended. If we are supposed to believe this Revelation stuff, then the Antichrist has to bring on the ending of the world.
