“Twister 2: This One Sucks”
Month: November 2014
Earth to Echo (2014) 40%
Middling young person movie ruined by surreptitious cam distractions.
Dreamcatcher (2003) 40%
No, “Stand By Me” would not have been better with aliens.
The Gene Generation (2007) 30%
Not the worst low-budget sci-fi movie, but nowhere near good. Enough mediocre CGI to fill the video game this probably should have been.
The Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck (1988) 20%
“Indiana Jones and the Jungle of Exploitation”
The Fugitive (1993) 80%
Intense escapism.
The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow (1975) 50%
Not as good as most of the other Rankin/Bass stop-motion specials.
Occupant (2011) 20%
Basic storytelling failure.
Ocean’s Eleven (2001) 80%
Style that inspired imitation.
Ocean’s Twelve (2004) 70%
A bad movie redeemed with a lightness and intelligence likely borne of Soderbergh and the cast.
