Ya you should just review good movies, like eddie.

Honestly some of the best reviews are on bad movies, a great example is this one.

Sometimes you get a good movie. Sometimes you get a not so good movie. I think it all evens out in the end.

And to be fair, RK wasn't horrible. Just predictable and kinda poorly structured and not completely logical...but De Niro and Pacino were good when they got the chance!

Jason, go see Burn After Reading

brando, not brandon

also, morgan freeman and helen mirren have been in some awful movies. freeman does crap like "hard rain" and direct-to-video "thrillers", and mirren was in, of all things, "caligula".

Love Hendrix!

Hey Eddie... kudos about "Hard Rain"... yet it's one of my "guilty pleasures" as I just love seeing all of that water (and visual effects), color schemes from the cinematographer, etc throughout the whole movie. And Randy Quaid is a 'lazy' bad guy here. Still, yeah it's kinda of a 'crap' film.

Thank you, Eddie. I'm going back to change it now. *sigh*

Jason, imperfect

I remember an interview with George Clooney over a year ago. He mentioned that in every movie you make you go in with the best intensions of making a great film. Then about half way through you realize if it's going to suck or not. In other words, I think George is trying to say that it's not always the actors fault in what they choose to do and things just get messed up in the production, direction and writing process. I'm sure his comments were probably directed at the Batman & Robin film, but it's probably unfair to blame the actors just because something goes direct to video. It's easy to do so, however, since the actors are such a visual target in any bad film.

I know I face this same issue in the line of work I do for a living. Many times I layout some very nice looking web sites in the beginning of my work. Then after completion I can see were improvements need to be made or I beat myself with "what the hell was I thinking!?" So yes, it is easy in life to go into something with the best intentions and still have it come out like crap in the end. It kind of sucks but sometimes that's just the way life goes.



Tim -- Go into the day with the best intensions of having a great day, and then see if it happens.

tim,

that may be true of george clooney, but i think that rob schneider goes into every movie with the intention of making the worst movie possible.
