Once again Jim Carey proves that he just is not funny. The over the top whatever this was was annoying, unfunny and a complete waste of time. This could have been a great movie but was destroyed by a very hateful character. The childish antics got old after the first five minutes. I came very close to not finishing the film because of the horrific character of Ace Ventura. The sequel was even worse. Jim should stick to serious movies as he is much better in them.

Son of Sam
(2008 Video)
The worst director in history
13 April 2009
Ulli is without a doubt the worst director is cinematic history. This mess of a movie proves that without any argument. Perhaps if he would actually try to make a real movie instead of "art house trash", he would make something watchable. The only good thing about his movies is that one can hit fast forward for at least 60% of each film and get done faster and therefore waste less time out ones daily grind. Ulli's movies are so bad, that "Plan 9 From Outerspace", the deliciously bad movie and "Attack of the Killer Tomato(e)s", would have a uncontested win in the Best Picture category at the Oscars! Ulli's movies are so bad that Uwe's films look like masterpieces.
The continual shots of the Satanic rituals got old after the first one. Each one making less and less sense. The shots of "Son of Sam" just wondering around became so nonsensical after the first two times.
Somebody please keep this man from wasting any more of our lives by making any further films!

Phantom Raiders
(1988)
So bad it's awful
24 February 2007
This movie has to be one of the worst movies ever made. It is so bad that it makes ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOS look like a movie that should have won the Acedemy award for best picture. Oddly enough, there is a plot. The plot? To go after a Coloniel from the Vietnam war who is now training Vietnamese terrorists.
The acting is next to awful. The explosions are wonderful. 90% of the movie involves shooting. After awhile that becomes extremely boring. That is not a good sign in this type of movie. I was beginning to wonder where all of the "enemy" was coming from. This movie could have been made as a one hour TV show and accomplished the same. I really was confused at the end, when the compound was under attack and had mysteriously grown in size from what was shown in the first act. To make matters even worse, at the beginning of the film, when two forces met, accidentally, the dead wouldn't plop to the ground. Instead one could witness them laying down ever so gently. In short, i definitely lost the run time in life that i will never get back. A waste of time and film and other resources.

Pterodactyl
(2005)
A great idea gone rotten
1 November 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Let's start with the one good thing about this movie, the premise. This could have been a great Dino flick, right up there with "Q the Winged Serpent" or even the "Jurassic Park" films. However, the producer chose to go the cheap ass, very cheap ass, route and make a great premise into one of the worse horror, adventure, action films ever made. I think Jason Vorheese would have killed himself over this one. Anyway, i am getting off target. The Pteradactyls looked REALLY fake, which detracted from what little enjoyment there was from the film. The acting was simply beyond description. You know the acting is bad when Coolio is the high spot for acting. Had this film been in the hands of a skilled director and producer and effects house, it would have benefited greatly. The blood and guts, oddly enough, were quite well done, but that was about all.
I should mention that the best moment in the film is when the whinny spoiled brat of a blond bimbo gets offed. Why do films like this always have to put a character in that needs to get offed? Do movie makers really think that the movie going audience is that stupid.
My advice is to avoid this film at all costs. However, if you want some good laughs and groans, pop it into the DVD player and wonder "what the hell were these people thinking?"

BloodRayne
(2005)
Bad but still good.
22 September 2006
Despite some truly awful acting and dialog, this film is not as bad as critics led us to believe. The plot, though weak, was just strong enough to keep the story moving along and keep me interested. The motivation of Rayne's quest is understandable, convoluted as it is, but understandable. The film contains great action sequences of sword fighting a spurting, and i do mean spurting, blood and guts. One thing we do learn from the opening credits is that Meatloaf Aday is in this film. And let me tell you this, he needs to stick to his singing! My only complaint, other than the horrible script and acting, was the ending, which obviously set up for a sequel. I was, and still am very confused by the ending. Even the commentary didn't shed any light on the matter for me. At any-rate, the film was still was films should be, a fun time.
