Collision Course 1989

★★★ Watched by Russell Hainline 27 Jun 2022

Leno's as goofy as you expect, the jokes are as racist as you expect, the cliches are as abundant as you expect, etc... but when your movie has a bitchin' 80s soundtrack, stuntmen diving out of exploding houses, multiple delightful car chases (accompanied by said bitchin' 80s soundtrack), and a deathblow to the villain that ranks among the most unexpected/satisfying in my years of watching bad action movies? I lose all sense of objectivity.
Roxanne 1987

★★★ Watched by Russell Hainline 27 Jun 2022

swings a little too wide in tone as it attempts to balance the broad comedy and the tender romance. you can tell this is a building block to Martin's superior LA Story (and, to a lesser extent, his play Picasso at the Lapin Agile). still, works nicely in fits and starts.

In this theater, no one could hear me scream.
Sucker Punch 2011

In case you were wondering, this is still one the ugliest, most brainless, most unpleasant, and most fucking terrible movies made in your lifetime.
