Kazaam (1996)
What could we expect?
Ok, the best thing to do going into this film is to not expect anything from it. I just found it channel surfing a few months back (late May 2003). I remember hearing about it years ago when they first came up with the "movie." But I found it incredibly corny. But in a good way. Shaq plays himself pretty much, a big joker. And who would expect much acting prowess from a man who calls himself "Shaqdiesel."
Anywhoo, as long as you acknowledge that this is going to be a horrible movie, bereft of anything worthy of even seeing a movie, t'is a good way to let your brain turn to jello, like, say, after studing for finals or writing a 10 page paper in 3 hours ;-).

It's Pat: The Movie (1994)
as if the few minute skit on SNL wasn't long enough...
SNL's idea for success:
Take a horrid skit and turn it into a movie
OK, that worked well for Waynes World, but now the rest of the world has to deal with movies like Night at the Roxbury, or Corky Romano, or, in this case, Pat. I didn't even realize the old SNL had a skit of the character Pat until while channel surfing I landed on the movie on Comedy Central. After watching 15 min (I can't believe I watched that much, maybe I was just waiting for it to get good, or maybe I lost the batteries to the remote) I had to change the channel. Now whenever I'm watching an old SNL and Pat comes on, I change the channel. This movie ranks highly with the lowest movies here on IMDB for good reason. When you don't have enough for a few minute skit, how can you turn it into a movie?
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
To use the played out saying, it was an "action-packed movie"
Though the movie was entertaining, full of humorous quips by Arnold, and lots of explosions and action, it still lacked the same suspense that was present in the first two films. The action was great, and if you look at the trivia, there was one scene they were going to cut because of cost and running behind budget, but Arnold lowered his price tag by a million so they could do the shot. It was well worth the million. Overall, if you've seen the first two, don't expect the same ratios of action and dialogue, but it is still a good movie, and well worth the matinee price I paid for it ;-).
