Dragon Hunt (1990)
Worst movie I've seen so far
Everything about this movie is bad. everything. Ridiculous 80's haircuts. Ridiculous moustaches. Ridiculous action and fight scenes where you can actually see that the adversaries do not even hit each other. Bad, bad, bad 80's music. Repeated scenes of people running through woods. A bad guy with a silver plastic hand and silly hair. Stupid dialogue. The acting is nonexistant. Everything looks extremely cheap. This movie even surpasses "Plan 9 from outer space" in its utter badness.
It's not "funny bad" it's just bad.
Westworld (1973)
Interesting idea, but some major flaws
This one had a really interesting theme and was a kind of predecessor to Chrichton's own "Jurassic Park", but except for the things that are rather well done (e.g. Yul Bynner's death at the end), there are flaws that make the whole film ridiculous (spoilers...):
1.) If the visitors of the park cannot shoot at each other (because of sensors in their guns), why are the robots able to do that? No one would give the robots real ammo, because they are not supposed to shoot at the guests. And why is a robot snake able to bite someone when it should never do so? Construction error? 2.) When they turn off the electricity, all of their computers and monitors still work, but the scientists are not able to open the electric doors and suffocate. How stupid can you be constructing such a trap for yourself?
And there are also a lot of minor flaws in the film. It's simply not believable.
American Psycho (2000)
Well done!
I thought that this was an excellent book that could never be made into a movie. Well I was wrong. It has been filmed and it was well done. The shocking killing scenes from the book are there, but you don't see it all in detail - because that would have been impossible to watch (if you have read the novel, you know what I mean). Christian Bale is an exciting and skillful actor of whom I like to see more. The direction, the use of music and the visuals were outstanding and the 80's era was extremely well recreated. Many scenes were almost directly adapted from the book, and even the sign with the last words of the novel was there (again, if you have read the novel...). DON'T WATCH THIS FILM if you think it's in the fashion of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and similar teen horror films, because it's certainly not. This is the best movie of the year 2000 so far. 1999 seemed to be a much better year for film - but this one is well worth watching.
THIS IS NOT AN EXIT
