How to find redeeming messages in bad movies such as "Beaches","Armageddon","Gymkata" and "Megaforce." It's what the doctor ordered:plenty of laughs.

The Star Wars/Lord of the Rings knock-off had me laughing from the opening. Hear the hero imitate Napoleon Dynamite with "I have skills"!See a sunrise scene mimicking Star Wars!See Joss Stone as a hippie fortuneteller!

More like the bipolar express. Surprisingly depressing. Tom Hanks voices three characters,and Aerosmith's Steve Tyler makes a cameo as an "elf." Coal in the stocking looks better in comparison.

Charlie Sheen as a reincarnated boyfriend/alien/whatever,with deadly car.

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg collaborated on this Lord of the Rings wannabe mess. It's about a hobbitlike being who saves a baby girl to fulfill a prophecy with the help of a warrior&the evil queen's rebellious daughter.

Anakin Skywalker breaks the Jedi Order's code of celibacy to be with the beautiful princess Padme Amidala of Naboo. Don't mistake this for the Thorn Birds,since the leads' chemistry is zero.

Introduce the nature of reality to kids! Boy gets fascinated by lingerie,befriends a troll (Law&Order's Sam Waterson),and defeats the bad guys by telling them they don't exist.

Pure energy takes on the form of a male underwear model,pursues alien baddies and zaps them to the Intergalactic prison. It's more fun than it sounds.

The first movie was exhilarating and philosophical. Neo was even a Christ-figure,raised by Trinity's kiss. The sequel has the standard action movie cliches,a pair of evil albino twins,a stupid villain named the Merovignian,a pointless orgy,and a non-erotic sex scene between Neo&Trinity.

Two half-brothers,one of them pre-Prison Break Wentworth Miller,end up stranded in a Communist vegetarian dinosaur paradise. David Thewlis is the freethinking,sympathetic villain.

Pierce Brosnan&Halle Berry endure a cheesy script to save the world. TONS of gimmicks. It's campy (complete with a Madonna cameo).No wonder "Casino Royale" was a refreshing change.

Great acting,beautiful setting. Unfortunately,it's a sappy,Hallmark channel view of the Little Flower's life.Its cloying piety is unintentionally funny.

The book is magical. The movie is a sepia-toned,rather glum soap opera. It barely comes to a boil. The forbidden love of Tita&Pedro is as limp as a wet noodle.

Pauley Perrette,the Goth chick of NCIS,stars as a Goth chick in the Crescent City,looking for love with the help of the late Lou Rawls. Jazz music,voodoo,and candelit bathtubs help in this cheesefest.It's jambalaya...

Can't believe I saw this in the theaters. In the sap fest,Robin Williams stars as a divorced father who cross dresses as a nanny to be near his kids. Pierce Brosnan is an innocent bystander. Sally Field would shout,"There would be no more godd*mn awful movies!"

Even worse love scenes.The preserved Mae West romances the much younger Timothy Dalton. Abandon all hope,all ye who enter here.

Petula Clark of "Downtown" plays a desperate showgirl who tells a dowdy schoolteacher,"Let's make whoopee!" Strange '60s musical. Trippin'.

This was purposely made cheesy. Cardboard characters,awful plot,the strange "sex appeal" of Zac Efron,but it's got good production numbers and singable songs. Kill it with music!

More roller skating! Corey Haim is pitted against evil white supremacist roller skaters bent on world domination (and whose drugs induce impotence on their enemies) and romances Patricia Arquette. Could be part of a Xanadu double feature with the roller skating theme. It's a stretch,I know.
