Epic Movie (2007)
Unfortunately, this one is really lame
I really like spoofs and such. As lame as they can be, most of them I thoroughly enjoy. For example, Date Movie is generally considered a bad movie but I had a lot of fun when I saw it.
Epic Movie however is quite something else. It just ain't funny - never. Now that I've seen it, I wonder why I even bothered seeing the entire movie.
There just were too many things in the movie which indicated no effort was made to produce a decent spoof. I can't go into any details here without giving away spoilers, but when you do muster the strength to see the movie you'll understand what's wrong with this movie.
I want more spoofs like Date Movie or Scary Movie. Those I could enjoy. Movie like Epic Movie, however, should be banned forever. I honestly never thought I would say such a thing about any movie, but here it is. Sorry to the folks who made this movie, but better luck next time.
Replicant (2001)
An average action-movie
Obviously, van Damme is on his way out of Hollywood. This movie is yet again proof of that.
The story is mediocre and it's just filled with loopholes. For example, for someone who has genetic memory, the replicant's memory is even worse than that of a pig. Further more, if he's a replicant, why doesn't he have the murderous tendecies his 'original' has? Not much of a replicant if you ask me...
Van Damme's acting is, I give him that, a bit better than his last few movies. However, it just barely makes up for the rest.
Six out of ten. This movie is great for filling up some time you've got left, however I'd recommend against actually making some time to see this movie.
Space Precinct (1994)
A shame only one season was made...
I just cannot understand why there are people who say 'Space Precinct' isn't worth watching, as it is a very good SF-series!
Yes, of course the aliens look a bit ridiculous, but that's actually part of the series' charm. Along with good stories, very obvious chemistry between Rob Youngblood (Officer Jack Haldane) and Simone Bendix (Officer Jane Castle) ànd nice sfx, this is a SF-series worth watching.
It's a shame, though, that only one season was made.
The Green Mile (1999)
Just amazing
I can only say one thing about this movie: perfect! I read somewhere that the movie is better than the book - although I haven't read the book, I think the book just cannot be better since the movie is... amazing.
Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
Not bad, not good either
It seems the "odd numbers" curse had itself another victim. This Star Trek movie wasn't good (but not really bad either, thank God).
The story was lame, too much attention to ethical aspects. There was some action but is was just way too less. All by all this movie was more like a movie-length episode of the TV series.
Although the story was lame and focused way too much on ethics, any real ST fan should see it. But this movie definitely wouldn't be a good introduction to the genre for non-ST fans. Non-ST fans should watch ST: First Contact, which really was an impressive movie - lots of action combined with lots of bad guys *and* with a decent story.
