Django Unchained kinda irked me too.

That "negro" (in the context of the movie) Jamie Foxx got a little too much respect as a negro in that time.

In most plantations he would be told to wait outside.

At the same time, I do not think Quentin Tarantinos movies were meant to be taken seriously.

His style was always "over the top" (dusk til dawn, pulp fiction, 4 rooms)

Unlike this garbage pit I cannot let go.

Stranded (2001)

Just watched it on NetFlix

A crew of six astronauts is about to make the first manned mission to Mars. They suit up and board their lunar lander. Something goes wrong, the lander malfunctions, crashing into the Mars.

Only entertainment value is getting a laugh from the really bad acting and horible script. Cant forgot all the money that went into the special effects of making the 'red planet' red. Wow you really got the feeling you are truely viewing 5 actors dressed in Apollo era spacesuits walking around in the middle of desert through a camera fitted with red lens filter. Everything was so red it made my eyes bleed.

Carrie Moss was clearly the best actor in that movie.

I can agree with that.

Val Kilmer has that look on his face that makes me want to break it.

Something about his smile is just annoying.

The Ghost and The Darkness was a great movie though...

Code name: Wild Geese

The movie opens with 15 minute unrealistic assault on some compound then the rest of the movie is the same 15 minutes as seen from each and every cast members viewpoint.

Red planet wasnt supposed to be realistic. Neither was Olympus has fallen. Red planet was totally fictional and olympus has fallen was just supposed to be a movie with big explosions and VIPs kicking arse. They were entertainment movies, action (or in red planet's case, dramatic) flicks with lots of boom boom. Perhaps you set your expectations too high for a more realistic scenario about the president being assaulted, of course it wasn't.

Im surprised nobody has mentioned U-571. I don't think it was bad, but steve and many members of this forum who are VERY passionate about their subs hate it because it had so many errors. Many find it insulting that it was with americans instead of the brits, and that two subs fought each other underwater, but as a movie i didn't think it was bad. It entertained me, once i looked past all the fallacies. It certainly wasnt a memorable flick past the fact that it was one of the few u-boat flicks. At least it wasn't like battleship.

Battleship was just god awful.
