True Memoirs of an International Assassin (2016)
The Professional Critics are Idiots
I enjoyed the entire movie. It has nice pacing, the humor is well done, the story is engaging and when you knock of off any thought of academy awards, this is well worth watching. I am sort of hoping they can fashion a sequel. I enjoy light comedy. I enjoy high drama. I enjoy art films. I enjoy them for what they are. This is action and light comedy. Once you understand that, this is fun.
Movie Madness (1982)
The Stench is Ungodly
I wish there was a way to give a movie a negative number on the IMDb scale. This thing started bad and built to a crescendo of bad so immense Robby Benson has deservedly never been heard from again. I can't believe that NL would attach their name to this but after seeing some "Making of..." features about Animal House and Caddyshack I can only conclude that there were drugs involved. Lots and lots of drugs. Originally written with four parts, I can only imagine in my worst nightmares how bad the fourth part must have been to have wound up on the cutting room floor.
It isn't just bad acting and writing, it is a symphony of really bad ideas, thrown into a blender of unfunny gags, double-entendre that didn't work, obscure humor that seems like a spoof of a spoof. Well, two negatives definitely don't make a positive other than, I am positive I would rather have my doctor use a rusty implement during my next colonoscomy than to have to sit through this again. Don't think of this as a review as much as a a dire warning of impending doom if you choose to watch this thing.
