Movieman's Guide to the Movies
The Final Word on Physical Media
You pretty much know what you’re getting out of an Andy Sedaris movie and that’s plenty of T&A alongside a patched together plot with some fairly bad performances. That said, while Picasso Trigger had a few dull moments, there was some fun entertainment.
Alita: Battle Angel is a flawed sci-fi action-adventure flick that might not really break new ground in terms of the story or even the effects work, even so I found it pretty entertaining.
Mountaintop Motel Massacre is a pretty laughably entertaining bad movie thanks to some of the poor production values and inexperienced actors, but like I said, can be fun at times.

The Professor as uneven as it was going from dark comedy to drama and back would’ve been fine but for me the ending really cratered and left a bad taste.
Weird Science might be a lesser movie from the great John Hughes filmography but that’s hardly a slight against the film as it does have some great heart at its core alongside a great cast.

Deadsight is just another apocalyptic, end-of-the-world, zombie movie with I guess the added measure of starring a main character who is pregnant helping a mysterious blind man around, otherwise this is throwaway horror at best.
Hellboy is just another movie with too many cooks in the kitchen although I’m not entirely sure even if Neil Marshall had full autonomy this would’ve been all that better of a movie anyway.

The Intruder seems like the kind of “old school” thriller that would come out of the 1990s back in the day but nowadays probably would be featured as a Lifetime made-for-TV feature, just with a more recognizable and respectable cast.
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie is more or less the same quality of entertainment as the first movie and the various television series with over-the-top performances and a thin plot, though I guess if you’re a fan, you might find it to be fun.

Shazam might not be a top tiered superhero movie and not near my personal top even amongst DC’s lineup, but it is still a lot of fun and Zachary Levi embodies the role so well and can’t wait to see what he and director Sandberg have in store.
Dead Trigger is one terrible movie and one added to the list of bad video game adaptations. The acting is pretty bad but worse, just a mess of a production as a whole; no wonder this sat on the shelf for a couple of years.
Mother Wore Tights is a well made 1940s era musical and while it wasn’t always my thing as I generally am not the biggest fan of the genre, it was still mildly enjoyable.
Hussy is a finely acted drama headlined by the amazing Helen Mirren to go along with John Shea, whom I will always know as Lex Luthor on Lois & Clark, makes a solid feature film debut.
I mentioned it before but I’m not a big fan of musicals, with few exceptions, but Hello, Frisco, Hello wasn’t half bad holding some charm thanks to Alice Faye.
Savage Harbor at times is your run-of-the-mill bad thrillers from the 80s but there are moments that were truly (unintentionally) hilarious with bad acting, writing, editing and direction, all the elements to make a good bad movie.
