The Worst Films of All Time Volume One
It's 2013 and it's time to discuss: The Worst Films of All Time!
What fun!
Let's start with 10 films and discuss some others later.
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING: While you were sleeping through this movie, you didn't miss a thing!
MIAMI VICE: With none of the spirit of the original series, this movie is dark, dreary and dead!
CONGO: Long before there was Jar Jar Binks, there was Amy the talking ape. Following the immensely popular and visually stunning Jurassic Park, this movie, also based on a Crichton novel, didn't have a chance in hell!
WILLOW: When Ron Howard and George Lucas join forces, we expect a lot more than this mess! The audience was in uproarious laughter every time the 2 little men came on screen and frolicked and joked. Ugh! I just wanted to stomp them to death! Peace and Love!
GET SMART: More like, Get Stupid! Steve Carrell's darkest moment.
PERFECT GETAWAY: Ok, so Jon Favreau wrote Swingers, one of the great screenplays of all time. Vince Vaughn and the rest of the cast were brilliantly hilarious in it. Then comes Perfect Getaway??? Whaaaat? This group of friends simply went on vacation and turned a camera on. They had a blast. We were miserable, jealous and pissed off. Case closed.
MAMMA MIA: Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan can't sing. I wanted to pluck my eyeballs out and stuff them in my ears.
XANADU: Great music. Shitty movie.
DOUBLE TEAM: LOL Funny! Do not miss this action packed gem starring Van Damme, Dennis Rodman, Mickey Rourke and of course, the tiger! Raaaaahr!
TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN PART 2: We can include all of these movies on this list, but this is the last one I saw, and the last one that pissed me off. Thank God it's over! Terrible acting, pathetic story, and literally nothing happens. I want my time and money back. Not since TV's "Lost" have I felt so cheated.
Do you agree or disagree?
Have a nice day and make it a Bob-Buster Night!

Dark Shadows 2012
I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I was skeptical about this particular project from the visual stunner Tim Burton, but he managed to impress me again. Johnny Depp is of course on top of his game as Barnabas Collins. The movie mostly takes place in 1972 and is punctuated from music from that year. Highly entertaining and often hilarious. Another home run for Burton and Depp. Enjoy!
Make it a Bob-buster night.

Snow White & The Dictator
September 27, 2012. What happens when you throw Bella, Thor, and Monster in a movie together? Well, it sounds like a recipe for success but I was unimpressed by this reimagining of The Snow White classic. I guess that they wanted to make a serious, darker version like Kevin Costner's Robin Hood, but it lacked charm, wit and whimsy. Although they wanted a darker version, it's still an adventure, right? And adventures are supposed to be fun! This movie wasn't fun, or funny, or even clever. No dwarves to be found. At least the dwarves had personalities, were amusing, engaging and made us smile. Everyone overacts, no doubt trying to overcompensate for this pitiful script. Watch any other version of this please! Hell, read the children's book. ;)
The Dictator is Sacha Baron Cohen's weakest film to date, with the fewest laughs. I do look forward to his next project. This guy is so talented, we can forgive this misstep. I even forgave him for dumping ashes on Ryan Seacrest on the Oscar Red Carpet. Shame on you Sacha, but don't ever stop pushing the limits.
So I rented these both from Blockbuster. Yes, there's one still open. And it seems I'm 0 for 2 this time. (Sigh) Movies are a gamble. Better luck next time.
Make It A Bob-Buster Night!

Bob's list of...
THE BEST HORROR MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!! (Muhahahahaha!)
JOHN CARPENTER'S HALLOWEEN (1978) - DUH!
THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT - A true original and horrifying to boot! Love these movie makin' dudes! We need more!
THE EXORCIST - The catholics encouraged the filmmakers to make this one extra scary to promote more church go-ers. The masses must have been overflowing into the parking lots.
THE SHINING - Creepy dead hotel staff and horrible naughty twin girls. Yuck!
FRIDAY THE 13TH - chee chee chee ha ha ha
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET - One two Freddy's comin'....
SESSION 9 - Scared me silly. High creep factor. Filmed in a real abandoned mental institution.
CARRIE - The Brian Depalma classic of the Stephen King novel. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie are expertly cast!
BLACK CHRISTMAS (1975) - Scary stuff and way better than the remake!
(although loved the disgusting plot and major gore of the latest version)
SCREAM - With an homage to all the great horror flicks, I had to include this!
HELL NIGHT (1981) - Love this little unknown Linda Blair flick! Great direction and the best damned location for a horror film ever!
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD - The original classic must have scared the living hell out of people back in the day, and still does...
DEAD END - Awesome road to nowhere flick - funny and spooky!
THE OMEN - Little Damian causes Big terror!
ROSEMARY'S BABY - Having the devil's baby is never a good thing.
CARNIVAL OF SOULS - Old creepy classic! Truly chilling!
THE STRANGERS - The most recent horror flick to make me afraid of my own shadow. Relentless terror that will destroy your soul!
WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (1979) - This original will keep you awake at night. I weep for babysitters everywhere.
MUTE WITNESS - Working on a slasher film can be murder! Plenty of suspense!
BAD DREAMS - Andrew Fleming's first great step into his super entertaining film making career.

TELEVISION BLUES!
January 1, 2009
Farewell to Boston Legal. Farewell to great, envelope-pushing, thought- provoking, challenging television? In the series finale there was mention of a great spin-off idea, but for another network, "a network that cares." With a jab at ABC and with references to "jumping the shark" this memorable finale continued its balls-to-the-wall campaign for greatness. So, now what? Thank God for Joss Whedon's upcoming "Dollhouse," premiere on Friday, February 13th 2009 on FOX. At least there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Good writing which explores the core of humanity, challenging our ideas and beliefs is indeed rare. Rumor has it that television has been dumbed down more than ever due to a barrage of distractions such as the internet and text messaging. This all leading to our being less focused on the tube itself. (a theory explored by "Boston Legal" in one of its final episodes). I guess I should be grateful that "Boston Legal" lasted 5 seasons. God knows that 5 of my favorite television shows of all time, "American Gothic," "Freaks & Geeks," "Firefly," "Wonderfalls," and "Undeclared." were all canceled in their first seasons. Praise fans and execs for deciding to release these gems on DVD. But the longing for where these fantastic stories and extraordinary characters might have taken us is a thirst that will only be quenched by our imaginations. Overall. A big BOOOOOO! for television programmers and their small-minded superiors everywhere!
