Oh man... Zero Effect is so so so good and lovely and underappreciated. I like to pretend that Dickens’ character from that became her character on Lost.

This kind of ties in with his complaint to make it a strength. The characters are awful, and they all die at the end! Great!
If you thought that Liam Neeson movie made no sense, you should see ‘The Commuter’. I mean, sure, if the mob wants to prevent a witness from testifying they might kill him/her. But I’m not sure they would pay two random strangers on a train to a) use no information at all to determine which person on the train…
Black Moon Rising stars a young Tommy Lee Jones
Honorable mentions
Totally legitimate reaction. I still get a thrill out of introducing that movie to people. And I think it’s a shame that Bill Pullman is mostly remembered as “bland and failed 90s leading man,” since when he’s allowed to stretch out of that realm a bit (here, Surveillance, Lost Highway), he’s a pretty engaging…
I love Black Moon Rising beyond all reason, nice to see it get a mention here. Or anywhere.
He was. I saw that movie, too, and had the same reaction. I was brushing my teeth just last week and that stupid flick popped into my head for some reason.
I think the blood farm scene is from Blade Trinity, actually.
The movie is terrible garbage. I would rather watch My Bloody Valentine with blue/red glasses.
I distinctly remember the feeling of being elated and excited when a guy I was dating said he had not only heard of Zero Effect, but had seen it. I also remember the immediate sense of losing all respect for him when he said he didn’t get it. Didn’t date him for much longer after than and now I can’t remember his…
we barely got to see the monster, and everyone died at the end...what a disappointing movie.
Wow, we’re really playing fast and loose with the definition of “good” here.
“His character, whose “particular set of skills” this time includes a suicidal acceptance of his own mortality, is a bereaved huntsman leading the survivors of a plane crash through the frosty Alaskan wilderness, a pack of wild canines in hot pursuit.”
Blackhat is pure garbage. I wasn’t expecting it to be good, but it was even dumber and filled with shitty movie logic and plot holes than I’d expected. I’d rather watch Swordfish again.
For a while we had a treadmill in our basement (well, we still do, but it’s broken and now just serves as a palette for off-season holiday decorations) and I’d watch a movie on a propped-up iPad while I ran.
I liked The Grey more than Taken. Taken whooped ass and all, but The Grey has stuck with me more than Taken has.
Daybreakers is not a good movie. It is somewhat entertaining garbage to watch during a January snowstorm.
It’s a piece of shit filled with stupid plot holes and bad performances.
Daybreakers is the only movie in this entire list that I watched.
