Seriously, this movie was pretty rough. When I sit down and watch it, I point to little things and start going, "That is crap"...."That didn't happen."..."Yeah, right." and "Isn't the HMS Bulldog supposed to be here somewhere?"

Flat, cardboard characters and a plot that reveals itself in the first fifteen minutes, "U-571" is a torpedo on a circle run.
And what makes it very embarrassing I actually paid for the DVD

"They Live" is pretty bad but it has a lot of cheesy one liners and the way it is filmed it is kind of entertaining in a weird way but I am sure not the way it is meant to have been.Like how you can see "them" with special pair of sunglasses and the famous "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I'm all out of bubblegum." Actually I kind of like that movie.

For a movie that I really did walk out on it would be Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas it was just boring just two guys tripping out in early 70's Las Vegas you'd think it would have been really funny but it was not.

Ooh, thanks for reminding me.

Leaving Las Vegas. The good: Nicholas Cage did deserve the Oscar he won for best actor. Elisabeth Shue topless.

The bad: Pretty much everything else. The story, mainly. A man who decides to commit suicide by drinking himself to death. A woman who believes that if she really loves him it's her job to help him do it. Pathetic, dreary, useless. Well made, but of what?

An Air Force friend of mine really loved that flick for some reason he was a heavy drinker as well(though I'd not consider him to have been an alcoholic well perhaps a social one) maybe it reminded him not to go to far with the booze and wind up like Cage did.
