HH-films so bad they won't go down

Films so bad they won't go down: Get the plunger

Oh, the wealth of the worst! No film year is short of fool's gold, and in 2003 the mother lode was fertile.
These judgments do depend on taste and timing. If you were perfectly receptive at the right astrological moment, you might have really liked Jennifer Lopez's "Gigli," which answered the question: How low can J.Lo go?
No movie this year was quite such a folly as motion picture master of pomposity Jack Valenti railing against "film piracy."
Yes, money and some jobs are at stake, but Valenti did not man the ramparts when Hollywood opened its celluloid saloon to every floozie that came along: Howard Hughes (who ravaged RKO and its film library), the theme-parkers at Universal and Disney, real-estate hucksters, Ted Turner's colorizers, TV film sales, cable deals, video, now DVD and its luxuriant packaging of film history as TV-scaled collection bingeing.

Valenti's crusade continues, a righteous mirage. As Quentin Tarantino recently said in Paris about digital heisting, "As soon as a film opens, forget about it (it's stolen). That's just the way it is." As he rightly added, real fans prefer going to a movie theater before pigging on copies.

Of course, going to a theater meant, along with good news or passable entertainments, such junk-o-ramas as these. After pausing for a drumroll of "X2: X-Men United," "Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd," "Identity," "Runaway Jury," "2 Fast 2 Furious" and "S.W.A.T.," we size up the truly rank by ranking down, from the stupid to the truly stupifying:

10 A beer keg on a belching spree, "Hollywood Homicide" paired Harrison Ford, 61, and Josh Hartnett, 24, as cops who hustle crooks, women and deals. Ron Shelton's slag-bomb has feeble celeb cameos, a rapper peeing on himself and a "wild" closing chase fit for junkyard dogs.

Here's the rest of the countdown if your interested.

For Gods sake they will not shut up about it, it does my head in!!!
Ok HH was not the best of movies but it was not all that bad, i just wish they stop going on about it. [img]graemlins/stare.gif[/img]

Yeah, they have gone too far with all those bad critics [img]graemlins/grumpy.gif[/img] It wasn't that bad, after all. It's not like it was supposed to be a master-piece movie or somethin', for God's sake [img]graemlins/wacked.gif[/img] :(
Anywayz, thanx Holly [img]graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/flame.gif[/img] up theirs!

I don't get what was so bad about it either.And what was wrong with movies like SWAT and Identity?

Yeah I loved Identity, so they better shut up!
Okay HH wasn´t a great movie, so what. Critics like to **** all the way,otherwise what else could they do.

Thanks for the info Holly. The movie wasn't that bad. I don't even agree with some of the movies they had on the list.

hollywood homicide is over, they need to get over it already. and ya...what michelle said! [img]graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

HH can not compare to crap like Gigli [img]graemlins/wacked.gif[/img]

Gigli is only #3? [img]graemlins/shake.gif[/img]
HH isn't so good but also not so bad. Maybe someone just had too much expectations to it.
BTW, Identity is a cool movie. I like it alot.

haven't seen "Gigli" and "Identity"... [img]graemlins/ohwell.gif[/img] but i watched "Hollywood Homicide" and in my opinion, it was pretty funny! [img]smile.gif[/img] when i watch a comedy, i just want to be entertained, and i enjoyed it! :cool: it wasn't the best movie, but it's OK.
well, these journalists must always write such crazy comments. it is so stupid that they praise dumb nonsense-movies like "Terminator", but this nice film was bad - in their opinion! they should be neutral. but it's the "Freedom Of The Press" to write such comments... :rolleyes:

dumb nonsense-movies like "Terminator",

I don't think those movies are dumb.. they're praised because for an action movie they have a lot of heart

Anyway I loved X2, Irreversible and Identity so i completely disagree with him on that one.. on the other hand i agree with his comments on Love Actually, Bad Boys and most of the rest.

But still.. any critic that puts Identity and X2 in the same sentence as Dumb and Dumberer can't really be taken seriously
