Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

Official Tag-lines: 
"Avoid this film at all cost."
"Stay away!"

In my long career of watching movies I have built a strong immunity system against terrible films.

In the theatre, probably 15-20 people walked out before it was even over. I kept watching because I COULD NOT BELIEVE that any movie could be this bad.

In fact, I didn't see anything I liked.

Boring! A movie about two men on a drug binge is boring! And lifeless too.

Unpleasant to watch, unpleasant to think about afterwards. I'm surprised it's not in the Bible as a Missing Plague.

uuuuuugh.

Benicio Del Toro was alright though.

Johnny Depp's acting was good.

Depp and Toro are both considered two of Hollywood's sexiest men

I did like the monsters in the bar scene.

the carpet pattern swirling, that wasn't bad

The cinematography, set design and location were great.

two heavy drug addicts are somewhat funny to watch.
 
how mega brilliant is Hunter S Thompson's original book?

If some day any of my kids try to use drugs, my punishment will be forcing them to watch this movie

I give this a 2/10.

(Each line is taken from individual review with 1/10 points rating and nothing else. There is no shortage of negative reviews.)

LotR: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

"Is this movie based on a book?"

This film is perhaps a good movie

This was like watching a very prolonged game of dungeons and dragons.

a 3 hour Sinbad-Hercules-Xena Warrior Princess sword & sorcery adventure

Some of the fight scenes are good in places



There are now only two movies that made me sleep in the theater. They are "Wag the Dog" and "Lord of the Rings."

BORING with a capital B!

The hobbits are dumb and small, the wizards are not magic.

As for the rest of the cast, a good bath wouldn't hurt them.


You´re all victims of a great advertising-campaign.

I have to give this 1 out of 10 just to counter-act all the perfect scores that the geeks have awarded it.

I beg of you people on this site to vote 1/10

Am I the only person in the world?


I can not put into words the hatred I have for this movie. The hatred comes from the depth of my soul. I HATED it!!!!!! The first half hour was pretty cool.


This movie has a very disappointing ending.

this movie has no ending!

people said it is a trilogy and has three parts


in the long term, it will be another Willow.

It is impossible for me to tell you how

The Elephant Man (1980)

"To see a man, who has a troubled life"

If you're looking for sad drama about a freak, and doctor who tries to make him act like a human being and socialize him, then this is a movie made for you.

The difficult life of a man who was mocked by all and sundry solely due to an inexplicable deformity of his face.

Grotesque vision of 19th century England as an era of absolute inhumanity.

The dark cold streets of the 1880's East End, streets filled with the unfortunate, the dirty, the poor...

Hideous old times which were truly horrible in which a human being had no qualms about making mockery of another human being... It was a tough time for mankind.


If Merrick wasn't in his room, which was specifically made for him, he never had it easy.



He didn't look like an elephant but his head looked more like fresh ginger

And that's probably what Lynch tried to accomplish.

The elephant man has always been a marvelous character to comprehend.


The high society of ancient times wanted to be in the company of "The Elephant Man"

"Nice story, but it could have been nicer."

I would expect more people to find this movie a bit boring and not entertaining... I am sure that pretty much nobody finds this movie entertaining and enjoyable.

It is fair that this film will be tragic because it is explaining the life of a tragic individual.

Apparently, plastic surgery was far in the future when Treves practised medicine.


Moralising narratives are at the heart of many

Call me shallow if you will, but I don't look to Hollywood to teach me the meaning of life or reinforce my moral values.

I stare at people with abnormalities even though I know it is wrong of me to do so.


LINK TO ONE MORE COOL PICTURE: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrfoxy/4416585939/

Planet of the Apes (1968)

"roam free, roam naked"

Simply awful! It doesn't deserve even one star! 5/10

Yoke who falls into a time zone and comes out nude and cursing

"Get your stinkin' paws off me you damn dirty ape!"

shouting all the time


Astronauts land on a planet where apes are in charge

Charlton Heston's pants come down a few times


The world is being invaded by apes, but this movies portrays the invasion so poorly that it's hard to know Earth is being invaded.

'Planet of the Apes' just kind of ends at one point, nothing really happens... "You Maniacs! You blew it up!" ...and you wonder, what happened


There were a bunch of seqeuls... and then there was a remake

the first time I ever remember feeling depressed.

Clockwork Orange (1971)

"What is everyone talking about?"

"Was Kubrick On Crack?"

How come they talk so funny?

Does this film take place in the future? (i mean the future for the people of the time when the film was made)

Set in the future is it?


Anybody else get a few chuckles from this movie?

Is it a reasonable response? Is it over the top?


Why does Alex's mother have purple hair?

What is meant by "a clockwork orange"?
If it's nor Cockney, what the hell is it?


why did Roger Ebert give this film a bad review?

Did we watch the same movie?"

Does he really want us to identify with the antisocial tilt of Alex's psychopathic little life?

get my point?

is there anybody else in this ward with you?

"Is this some sort of sequel to 2001?"

Alex is living in a society we don't really see (in the movie at least). So how can we judge "society values?"

What am I supposed to feel?

Is it to show how bad we are as people?


Should I be more disturbed by the violence?

Did Anybody else find parts of this Movie Hilarious?

a guilty person, perhaps even someone guilty of a horrible crime?


Is Alex a villain?

do we really care about what happens in the end?


Was the above review usefull to you?

Do you get it now?

Let's move on, shall we?

The Shining (1980) 2/2 (what?)

"the ghost make dad go crazy"

"the poster has his face sticking through a hole in a door."

just walking around endlessly looking at kitchens.

suspenseful music

Somehow a black man enters the hotel

Could this be the same mind that gave us Easy Rider? and Dr. Strangelove?

(i really gotta watch 2001 again cause i really didn't get it)


The little kid is weird

Why is he yelling "redrum" instead of just "murder"???? 

why it's backwards and requires a mirror

I drive to work and back (and sometimes to the store or to visit my cats) almost every day 

after so much time behind Riding Danny the last thing you were expecting to find was two murdered sisters.



Can someone please explain

This movie is about a man who likes to shout things through gaps in doors.

the poster has his face sticking through a hole in a door.


I am not convinced that Jack Torrence is a sane man


The young boy putting on that voice was really annoying and there was no need for it although the voice is probably supposed to symbolize a invisible friend

if you want to let a child see this, even if they are tough, make sure that they understand what they are watching.

Jake saw a naked "ghost" and he was so happy. that's not right, he is married.


It is weird that the movie is so different than the book

I made a little research and I found out a logical explanation to everything that happens in this film

Hotel seems a lot scarier due to the 70's interior design.

The Shining (1980) 1/2 (Hated it)

"I'd like to smack the people who tell me it's the scariest movie ever made."

"Heeeeeeeeeere's Johnny"

it shouldn't be considered a horror film but rather a comedy

He is a caretaker and must take care (duh) of the hotel during the winter

The only horrifying thing about it is how it became so popular.

I found this rubbish film in the horror section. If I owned a video store I'd put it in the BORING section. 


I never understood what is the big deal about Stanley Kubrick.

A Clockwork Orange had so many ugly scenes and unlikeable characters. The music was horrible too.

"if the filmmaker is a genius, then the film is a work of genius and must be excellent."

He is one of those directors who produces very long, boring movies

Try watching a few scenes on fast forward, and you'll get the joke.


fans of the far larger Stephen King world were severely disappointed.

Stanley Kubrick f*cked Stephen King's book big time!!!


I ask again, how is this scary? How?

Friday the 13th was nominated for worst pic the same year and the movie is 100% scarier and better than this movie.

Everyone talks about the bicycle scene with amazement. Yes, it was interesting, but...

The hatchet scene is the best (the only best) scene of the movie.

Then there is that ridiculous hedge maze.

yeah, there is no maze in the book


The end is the worst ending ever possible

SHELLY DUVALL=Deserved to die, she was that annoying.

She looks like Olive Oyl from the POPEYE cartoons.

She was just annoying and I was pleading with the movie for her death.

What can I say? I would have killed this mealy mouthed, butt ugly, whiny woman long before he did.


There really was nobody for me to cheer for.

The kid talking to his finger is another idiotic

being locked up with those two would put anyone's nerves on edge.
