    No, you spelled bang properly.

    Passport to Paris. My French teacher loves this movie, along with a few select girls from my class. I've been forced through the torture of this movie at least ten times by now over the last three years. I just want to shoot Mary Kate and Ashley whenever I hear mention of them, just because of this film.

    Mansquito. A sci-fi channel film, so I probably don't have to say much more. The most preposterous part of this film was when the man sized mosquito flew down a hallway towards at least 8 guards who were all unloading m-16 ammo at it. Somehow, the creature is unharmed and summarily rips the guards apart.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Reign of Fire and Flyboys both looked promising during previews. However, Reign of Fire not only was without plot but without reason or logic either, and Flyboys felt like just a rehash of Pearl Harbor with a lower budget. Its biggest problem--for me at least--was a complete inability to respect or empathize with the main character.

    Of the previously mentioned films, I have to disagree on a couple. I thought Napoleon Dynamite was an beautifully quirky and original flick, and one that was willing to ignore Hollywood conventions and stick it to the establishment. I also think the Spiderman movies are the best superhero movies made so far, and certainly the ones that best capture the human element of a superhero.

    Not bad. Not great, but certainly good. Lots of action, good characters, a few semi-twists, but it's almost like it tried too hard. Worth seeing, though. Alicia Keyes is gorgeous, and her partner with the .50 caliber Barret rifle is a hoot.

    I remember a really terrible movie I rented with a friend back in 87-88. I believe it was called "Queraq", but I can't find it in the IMDB. EDIT: It was called "Exterminators of the Year 3000". Heh kewl title. Maybe I have two movies mixed up there.

    It featured a boy with a bionic hand (he could lift a car with it!), and the nefarious "Ultrasonic key". We still laugh about that movie from time to time.

    Starship Troopers 2... It just did not work. And the DVD cover picture makes the main dude's chin look too big.

    Any movie that has any (even remote) similarities with Big Moma's House I guess I just don't understand the humour.
    S-U-C-E-S! That's the way you spell... suces?
