Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to Ofcoursemyhorse's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
I would really love to hear them try and break down the mechanics of how Pierce Brosnan hides his centaur body in a wheel chair. -
Has to be Cade, its the first character he felt so strongly about that he had to make a sequel. Also the last name Altair, and the the fact that calls himself hybrid a.i. intelligence makes me think that Neil Breen might be an Assassins Creed fan.
-
Best joke this movie has is the scene where he's fantasizing about marrying the counselor and adopting a child who presumably already has parents, but can't help but then fantasize about ninjas attacking his party.

I would give anything for him to try and pull of a Nutty Professor and have like eight different roles in one movie. Whats so remarkable to me about his movies is that each one despite how terrible they all are, show a marked improvement from the previous one. So much of Double Down is just Neil Breen climbing around on rocks and running around the desert. I Am Here...Now and Pass Thru are both incomprehensible but they also had more shooting locations and much more ambitious plots. Fateful Findings and Twisted Pair, are as incompetently made as anything he's done but they also manage to much more successfully tell a story. Like if Breen had an ounce of restraint Twisted Pair was as close as he's come to telling a cohesive story, but I can only imagine he just couldnt help himself and include the plot point that him and his twin were also hybrid A.I. demi-gods.

Domestic Disturbance (2001)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to Ofcoursemyhorse's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Hadn't even heard about that. Very disappointing that Quibi was the platform they decided to launch on with tiny episodes rather than making it an hour long show. U.S. Marshals wasn't the best movie ever but I can almost guarantee its better than this is. -
Theres no way he hasn't compared this movie to the Avengers in casual conversation with people. It feels like he combined all of the professions he's had in all his previous movies into one character in this.

Domestic Disturbance (2001)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to Ofcoursemyhorse's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
John Mcafee's life story is essentially the real life equivalent of the caricature of Bill Gates in Anti-Trust. If they ever reboot The Fugitive franchise they should base it on his life. -
Given all the conspiracy theories around Bill Gates I cant help but think of this movie. It was advised on by Linux proponents who used it as a delightful opportunity to make him out to be an absolute maniac. The notion that he would have Tyler Labine who is a programmer in the movie to both commit murder and then stage the crime scenes is absolutely mental. It also makes digs that a company like Microsoft would never be able to have the level of talent required to accomplish what they were trying to do, which hilariously enough seems to be cloud computing. Which Microsoft only released four years after Apple's. Theres also a point where Ryan Phillipe hacks into their networks and finds camera footage of various murders that they are storing for what appears to be no other reason than to leave incriminating evidence for someone to find.

Domestic Disturbance (2001)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to Ofcoursemyhorse's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
I know its a common movie cliche but it hilarious how Vince Vaughn figured the best way to reinvent himself was to become one of the most high profile people in the town where he was trying to start over. Double Jeopardy has my favorite example of this where Bruce Greenwood fakes his own death/ disappearance twice before showing up in New Orleans and seems to become one of the most recognizable people in Louisiana. -
Domestic Disturbance (2001)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to Ofcoursemyhorse's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
He's a great actor, his performance in the movie is easily one of the highlights despite how over the top it is. I'd forgotten how vaguely they described his crimes in the movie. They didnt make any mention of Vaughn or any of his associates as belonging to any kind of criminal organization. So they just seem like white collar criminals, and apparently Vaughn was acquitted but was still willing to commit murder to apparently avoid embarrassment? Its incredible how little effort the police put into investigating a claim of murder. Like even if the cop didn't want to do the work of having forensics go over the incinerator, he could have just done the bare minimum of doing a background check on Vaughn. He invented a new persona after he was acquitted so he wouldnt have had any information prior to his arrest which would be a major red flag. So the detectives in this movie come across as absurdly lazy morons. -
Vantage Point (2008)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to CorneliusDonley's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Watched this again recently, I was impressed by the ambition of what they were going for but man this movie makes no fucking sense. So one of the terrorists in this movie is being forced to participate in the plot because they kidnapped his brother and they need his skills as a sharpshooter. But rather than have him use his skills as a sniper to shoot the President's double and then leave him to be caught and blamed or just kill him and leave his body to be found, they make him kidnap the President and kill his security team. Despite the fact that the terrorists had an inside man in the Secret Service and easily could have had him or a team of people do the same thing without the need to force someone by kidnapping their family member. Also if they're going to use a robot to fire the gun that shot the President's double why in the fuck did the corrupt agent go back to the room and retrieve the gun. Wouldn't one of the perks of using an automated gun would be being able to just leave it there. How is using a robot and then returning to the hotel room to pick up the gun an easier or better solution than just having a person do it and then take the gun with them. Why wouldnt they just use an untraceable gun? -
Domestic Disturbance (2001)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to Ofcoursemyhorse's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Bumping this again, it's a genuinely terrible movie. This movie came out the same year as Swordfish and he has the same hair in both movies minus the soul patch. Which almost gives the impression that his character in this movie is just one more of the personas he adopted in Swordfish, I can't do justice to how hilarious the scenes are between Vaughn and his stepson in the movie. He goes from sugary sweet when the mom is in the room to almost instantaneously becoming cartoonishly rude when he's alone with the kid. Then theres the ending where they essentially use a miscarriage as a plot device in order to apparently make it more of a happier ending because Teri Polo was no longer pregnant with Vaughn's baby. -
A wonderfully bad movie with tons of unhinged ranting and screaming from Mel Gibson. The plot of this movie feels like it was written by Alex Jones about himself.

Conspiracy Theory (1997)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to Ofcoursemyhorse's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
That kind of surprises me a little bit, given how unhinged he is in real life I figured this movie was more of a "They Live" situation for him. It is pretty nuts how many of his movies are him playing a character who is an absolute lunatic and ending up with women who should definitely reconsider their decision. Lethal Weapons, Ransom, Bird on a Wire, Braveheart, Payback, The Patriot, What Women Want etc.. are all pretty good examples. -
Its so insane that Travolta's character basically wins the movie at the end. Also its so fucking crazy to see Devon Sawa in this, the last movie I saw him in was Idle Hands.
-
I have similar rose colored delusions about Clean Slate. I know its an objectively terrible movie, but I watched it more times than I can count because Dana Carvey was one of my favorite actors at the time. Not too mention the crush I had on Valeria Golino after seeing her in Big Top PeeWee.

The Thirteenth Floor (1999)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to Ofcoursemyhorse's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Bump for this, I watched this again recently and its just such an enjoyable movie despite its flaws. D'nofrio in particular deserves credit, he's great in both roles. -
So i've always felt like this movie never got a fair shake when it first came out, it was released the same year as another big sci fi movie you might have heard of called The Matrix. So it was of course negatively compared in alot of reviews. Which is even funnier given that the Matrix franchise imploded in on itself into self parody in the following two sequels. But this was actually a pretty fun movie, Vincent D'nofrio is great in it, and I've always had a soft spot for Bierko so I was happy to see him in a leading role.

Mom and Dad Save The World (1992)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to Skeevins's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
One of those movies that played on HBO so often that I probably watched this movie well over a dozen times as a kid. When I first saw it, I was disappointed that the actor who was in Salute Your Shorts was barely in the movie as he was the most recognizable person in the movie for me at that time. -
Bump for Mel Gibson's fan fiction on what he would like to with paparazzi.
-
Incredibly bizarre movie all around, has a fun but brief musical cameo from Tenacious D.

There Goes The Neighborhood AKA Paydirt (1992)
Ofcoursemyhorse posted a topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Strange but fun movie with a remarkably solid ensemble cast. Jeff Daniels, Catherine O'Hara, Hector Elizondo, Chazz Palmintieri etc. Are all great in this movie, it's also an early Johnathan Banks role for people who are fans of Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. -
Just have to recommend this movie again for anyone who hasn't seen it. Nicholson and Spader are both absolutely unhinged in this movie, the werewolf make-up is hysterical. When they start acting like wolves in people form this movie just rises to all new levels of amazing.

Have to bump this movie. This is without a doubt the best role Josh Lucas has done in his career. Like I really can't even begin to do justice to the metamorphosis that his character goes on in this movie. The before and after is absolutely breathtaking. And its so jarring too, he goes from basically looking his character in Stealth to what appears to be some kind of Taxi Pirate. I am a little confused at how often this movie gets called a Taken knock-off, because the daughter gets kidnapped in this one. Daughter getting kidnapped in an action movie is about as cliche as it gets really. This feels closer to something like Oceans 11 in terms of what they were trying to mimic rather than Taken. Another little interesting fact, this movie was the second movie directed by Simon West starring Nic Cage, the other was the previously covered Con Air.
