Movies that are critically acclaimed but ... u think kinda suck . bad.

Ok- boring week here . but i was perusing the channels the other night and i saw -

1. "a trip to bountiful" was on ...The Trip to Bountiful is a 1985 film starring Geraldine Page, John Heard, Carlin Glynn, Richard Bradford and Rebecca De Mornay.

it had 4 stars ... ok ... i watched it ... damn . went no where . and i watched almost the whole frickiin movie ... did i miss something !!! ??

Kept hoping that Rebecca De Mornay would show some body shots ...




2. ok . dont laugh . last night i was flippin channels and i watched Tomcats (2001) with jerry o'connell ... i just saw yahoo people reviews gave it a B- ---- ugh this was unwatchable also ... http://movies.yahoo.com/m...36434/info

kept thinking shannon elizabeth would at least show some boobage ...in defence of TV listings i think TOMCATS only had 1 star ... neutral
Colonel Angus may be smelly. colonel angus may be a little rough . but deep down ... Colonel angus is very sweet.

A History of Violence. I saw the movie mostly because of thegood reviews--which I normally don't do. I thought it was terrible.

Lost IN Translation--huge letdown, okay, but nothing to write home about
Crash--actually very good movie, but TOTALLY false Hollywood bullshit
Million Dollar Baby--I could barely finish this one
Braveheart--sorry I just don't do Mel Gibson
Blade Runner--just watched this again and it was very dated, confusing, and fairly badly acted

I'm not a fan of Donnie Darko either, but mainly because it seemed like an amateur, unoriginal attempt at scifi, but most people hadn't seen movies or read stories that predated it and did it much better, so it's worshiped by a younger crowd for being startlingly original and crazy.

I like all these.
Malkovich is only worth viewing a couple of times but
Transformers and Terminator (I've seen this like 20 times . . . . )
Planet of the Apes with Mark Wahlberg was ok, not as good as the Charlton Heston movies.

On Golden Pond is a very good movie.

The first time I saw it, I thought it went nowhere. A second viewing and a third and it is a good movie.

I actually bought that flick because everyone told me it was so good. I watched it once and gave it to my sister.

ill My mother made me watch that once. It's two hours of old people yelling, and neither as deep or touching as it's made out to be.

I have vague memories of watching My Private Idaho on TV when I was 12 or so, but I've never felt compelled to rent it to see what happens properly. I take it my instinct was correct?
