Body: The Whole Ten Yards--another cheap sequel I bought at the FAMILY DOLLAR (just like Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and--you guessed it--THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS)--was a relation of a rather ingenious situation.Matthew Perry's character is just 'along for the ride' of Bruce Willis's hitman-character's fortune-plan.While I'm sure The Whole Nine Yards was also a good movie, you don't need to have seen it to catch enough of its 'gist' leading into the plot of The Whole Ten ... i.e. The Whole Ten might hold some sort of "completion" of The Whole Nine, but you don't need to know that there was ever Nine to enjoy the Ten (unlike REVOLUTIONS, for which you need to have seen RELOADED to "get").

Body: It's hard for me to look at movies seperately when they are sequels. I always want to see the all picture and tend to judge the whoe franchise by it's overall quality. Normally, I won't see a film, if I'm not prepared to see it's sequel too, but for this pair of dark comedies, my advice is check out The Whole Nine Yards, but skip the tenth yard.The first movie is dark, witty, very funny. A lot of sophisticated humor mixed in with it's moments of slapstick. The second movie is just as dark and at times witty, but the plot makes no sense and it fails at ever being funny. This is a case of sequels gone bad. The first one made so much money, that they had to jump in and try to make too much out of it. In the end the sequel has the same cast of characters, but it feels much more forced and the humor too dependent upon what happened in the first movie.

But not sure that it was hyped to begin withMeet The Parents - Good film. Hilarious sceens. again I'm not sure there was alot of hype to begin withTrue Lies - Personally my favorite film of both Arnolds. I thought both Arnolds interacted well together. I'd like to see a return of those charactersBad Boys II - While it was a decent film. I too didn't think it lived up to the original filmToy Story - I really think you don't like animated moviesThe Whole Nine Yards - Great film. Almost as good as the Hudson HawkMen In Black II - I thought it was a worthy sequelThe Truman Show - I believe that film showcased Jim Carrey's best acting abilitiesLiar Liar - Again, Jim Carrey's best acting but in a comedic role. I thought it was his best comedy.Fahrenheit 9/11 - I soo dislike Michael Moore.Meet the Fockers - Funny film. Field of Dreams - You must not be a dreamerAlien Vs. Predator - They must continue this series. I loved it.Gladiator - WHY is this on your list?[/quote] [/quote] A lot of these I don't like because they are what I usuaully call manipulative. I am watching them and I can feel the filmmakers trying their hardest to make me feel a certain emotion. Sometimes they succeed. However if I can feel them doing it, then it seems false. It seems like it's a trick and there's no reason for it. I Am Sam is probably at the top because I give it the worst rating possible. Let's get some sweet innocent mentally challenged people, a precocious, lovable child, people that want to fight for a cause against those darned courts. And of course lots of Beatles music. Who the hell doesn't love the Beatles? When you look at the cirumstances of the movie it's so untrue. Things never could or ever would happen the way they ever do in that film. But they put you in the most emotionally reactive situations possible. Why? As an exercise? Weird that you mentioned Hudson Hawk. I've never seen it, but my impression was that it was in the same category as Ishtar and Waterworld as movies that had a lot of hype and budget to them, but then totally tanked.

Body: Swingers's detail pageI thought I wouldn't like participating in this group at first because it get's frustrating complaining about movies, but I can't seem to hold myself back. Puhnner, you asked me to list some of my overrated movies, referring to my definition of overrated by ratio. Well I'm not sure if this is going by the same criteria, but I've come up with a list from another source. I also rate movies at the website movielens. It will give you recommendations based on your ratings and whatnot. It also gives some interesting statistics. For one, it tells me which movies I have rated the lowest compared to the average rating on their site. So I have looked at that list and picked several of them. The thing about this method is that I am not using what my impression of the ammount of acclaim a movie has received for the ratio but rather what the ammount of acclaim a website thinks a movie has based on the votes from it's users. Some of these movies I have not seen for a long time, so my feelings about them are not as immediate in my memory, but maybe it will give some dicussion.

PredatorArlington RoadLa Femme NikitaGladiatorThe Motorcycle Diaries Also, I have added the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to the overrated list for this group. I also want to say I often hope my list in this area will stay short. Many of these movies I have had an impression from the start that I would not like it. I usually have a good sense ahead of time about what movies I will like more or less. I can't tell exactly how much I will like a movie, but I'm usually pretty close on the general range of how much I may like it. Most of these movies I was coerced into seeing. Some of you may argue that the fact that I told myself I didn't want to see it in the first place may have had an effect on how much I liked it. Such as if I go in telling myself I won't like it, I'll probably find more reasons not to like it. That may be true to some extent, but not enough to really effect my decision that much. Go ahead and ask me about these selections and make a list of your own using whatever criteria you feel is appropriate.
