    Point Break  (1991)

    Point Break

    To all of you out there who have listed this movie as a guilty pleasure, you should feel guilty.  Real guilty.

    I gave this movie a 5/10 and that probably would have been even lower if I hadn't been watching it with Adam who said this was one of his favorite "verve" movies when a kid.  He used to watch it every day as a kid wanted to emulate the lead characters apparently.

    Ok I can see how you could get sucked up in this movie, but it just makes me feel so dirty.  It's a bunch of brainless macho stupidity.

    Yay guns, and cops and robbers, and shirtless football!  Ok, there's a small portion of me that doesn't say that sarcastically, but only a small portion.

    It may be a funny line in the movie, but I think this movie is for those who are young, dumb, and full of come.

    Ridiculous.

    Tron  (1982)

    Tron

    I remember that episode of The Simpsons where Homer asks if anyone has seen the movie Tron.  Everyone denies it except for Wiggum (who actually denies it twice and then confirms it and then retracts again.  Oh believe me, it's funny).  I'd seen short clips of the movie, but never watched the whole thing.

    My friend Noah was wild about it though, and when I was visiting him on my vacation last Spring he had me and my other friend Adam watch it.  Ok, yeah the effects look pretty horrible by today's standards.  Although it does still look totally different from anything anyone would conceive of today probably.  I actually kind of like it for it's effects.

    But the rest of the story is really bad.  Really goofy.  I'm sure many disagree.  But maybe as The Simpsons seems to think, not that many people have seen it anyways.  Or they are too embarrassed to admit it.

    Rating: 6/10
