Alto Domino the fuck is all this warrior shit? Poet warrior? So if a guy is a good cook he’s a chef warrior? The fuck outta here with that shit. Go look up what a warrior is.
There's a scene in Batman Returns where Bruce Wayne is sitting in the dark, alone, thinking, brooding, waiting. Then the Bat-Signal shines in the window and the moment's over. But that two-second scene tells us more about Bruce than the entirety of Batman & Robin.
"Who in the world wants to go to a lambada movie that ends with a trigonometry bee?" is one of the greatest sentences in history. Visitors from 5509, you're welcome.
North. One of the most atrocious misfires I have ever seen. This tried to use wit as a disguise to its colossal cold hearted plot device. Now. Irreconcilable Differences. That's a far better movie about this subject. Batman and Robin, better used as a dangerously idea of a drinking game using puns. Yikes! Jaws: The Revenge...in my top 40 worst films ever.
North: hard to believe it came from Reiner, who's got one of the best track records for excellent films. Batman&Robin: well, at least Alicia Silverstone looks hot, squeezed into that leather costume. Thumbs down to the movie; penis up for the deposit into my Spank Bank.
An actual excerpt from Ebert's written review of North "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it."
The greatest put down of all time: “I thought this was: Awful, dreadful, terrible, stupid, idiotic, unfunny, laboured, forced, painful, bad.” It’s just as good as: “I hated this movie. Hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated this movie! I hated it! Hated every single, stupid, audience-insulting moment of it!”
There was no Siskel and Ebert before Siskel and Ebert, they were originals. I think there are people who are passionate about movies that have made careers and personas for themselves, and none of them should aspire to be another critic
@@Citizen_J While RLM is entertaining, I doubt many people turn to their show for actual reviews and recommendations. RLM is known primarily for dunking on whatever the latest blockbuster is while, on rare occasions, making an obscure recommendation here and there.
@@Blodia1990 I supposed it got better as it went along. But the overuse of CGI was disappointing to see from someone like Sam Raimi who did such good practical effects in other movies.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 It was indeed sad to see Raimi relying on CGI so much but it is practically impossible to practically have a stuntman fly through the skies without a huge risk of serious and life threatening injuries.
@@Blodia1990 I think some things could be worked out better with minimal CGI. Like the helicopter work in Darkman, it was all stunt work with a real guy hanging from a rope. Not to mention in the movie The Fly they had Jeff Goldblum sticking to walls as a human-fly and there was no CGI there, it was all practical, they had build a whole room that they would move around and the effect was stunning on screen. I think with the Spider-Man movies, it is mainly because Raimi did not have the freedom that he could have had on movies that he imagined himself, these were big movies and when you jump into that, you have to accept their rules. And it was easier as a big production to just go for the CGI and that's it. (Although I have noticed that in Amazing Spider-Man, they used stunt work more for Andrew Garfield and it already looked much better, (even though it was a bad movie))
Michael Caine apparently skipped the Oscars where he would have accepted an award because he was busy filming Jaws: the Revenge. The Oscars are nothing but a joke now, it's like when you give the special kids at school "good guy" trophies, but back then people still cared. Michael Caine, ahead of his time, gave ZERO shits about the stupid Oscars.
Roger mentioned that in his print review of North. And on the tv show, with the next film he did The American President, Roger mentioned North and what he said to compare it to AP, which he loved.
Hudson hawk was his first bomb as a lead which then lead to a couple of more bombs death becomes her and color of night. But I wouldn't say it was much of a down period seeing that die hard 2 came out one year earlier than hudson hawk and the last boy scout came out the same year as hudson hawk, both had commercial success
Shark 4 wants revenge for the deaths of the previous 3 - sounds reasonable enough. If they were close relatives of 4, that would be 3 very good reasons to want revenge. Problem solved.
"Maybe I'll watch Brain Candy again in the 21st century." Put your money where your mouth is, Rog! Review this movie again today and tell me it isn't funny! Oh, oh, you're dead?! A convenient excuse.
Brain candy is one of my favorite movies ever. I’m not exaggerating. I bought three copies of the dvd just so I could give two of them away. When I was in college, I used that movie like therapy. I watched it when I was overwhelmed by being a molecular cell biology major at Berkeley, just like how I sat at the feet of the trex skeleton and talked it through my neurosis. . . Brain candy is, in my opinion, the best movie I have ever had to get me through my own life. It is way more than a movie. It is a personal therapist at the price of a dvd. I love brain candy. I have agreed with ebert in other reviews. But this one is way over the line. I simply cannot respect anyone who does not like brain candy. It is the sort of movie that says way more about who is watching it than the film itself. Ebert just killed his reputation. I watch brain candy at least once a year just to maintain my own sanity.
Tyler Waters personally, I prefer Burton’s Batman movies to Nolan’s or Schumacher’s. While I do like quite a bit of Schumacher’s movies, his writing and directing can’t really compare to Nolan’s...especially with the Batman movies. But that really doesn’t excuse my two previous comments which were kinda rude. Sorry about that...I’m in one of those moods. Cheers man, keep well.
@@studbstrd3589 Haha no worries. I was obviously being sarcastic. Nolan's movies are the best Batman movies IMO, although the Burton ones aren't bad. Batman and Robin and Batman Forever aren't even watchable.
