has anyone seen "Never On Tuesday"? My girlfriend chucked this one on the other day, we got 25 mins in and had to put it to sleep..  :thumbdown:

Black Sheep

I had wanted to see this movie for quite a while, so I got it from Netflix and started watching it yesterday.

I found the movie to be quite dull, cliche, and predictable.  How they managed to make a movie about zombie sheep seem so mundane is really quite an accomplishment when you think about it.

After watching it about halfway through, I stopped to do something else, and thought I would finish the movie today.

Today, when I thought about watching the rest, I figured why bother?  So I'm sending it back half watched.  The movie is so mediocre that I'm not in the least bit curious about how it turns out.

I started watching some low-budget cannibal picture a while back and when they cut open a live alligator about ten minutes in, I chucked it.

I walked out of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I can't stand movies that try so hard to be "different".This movie was just crap in my opinion.

  I felt the same way. I left the theater and walked in to either Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Mean Girls. They were both far better movies.

Mine would have to be MOONTRAP. I tired ever so hard to make it to the end but admittedly I lost all interest the second Bruce Campbell died. With out him it was just a crazy ass gross movie about Chekov banging some million year old hot alien on the moon while some stupid out of control robot tries to kill everyone.... oh wait..lol that sounds so much more awesome then it really was..lol


WingedSerpent

Superbad with Michael Cera and Johanh Hill.  I gve up at about the scene where they go to the liquor store.  I didn't find it funny at all, and couldn't see why everone was giving it such great reviews.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

The Gravekeeper

The Evil Dead. I love the later entries in the series, but I found myself just getting annoyed with the first one.

Half an hour in and I was feeling like a corpse...  :bluesad:

Psycho.

The good parts had turned up in so many "best of" compilations throughout my youth, & was so deeply embedded in pop culture, that by the time I was old enough to see it, I couldn't help but find the set up painfully dull.

bad cop no Donut- I am usually game for ultra lowe budget things but right away i didn't buy the premise. It was a "bad cop" allegedly being filmed for a documentary doing all this stuff, snorting coke, breaking into peoples apartments. I just didn't buy it. They should have just made it a regular movie without the shockumentary schtick

Sex Galaxy- MST3K meets Sealab 2021 minus the humor. no thanks

This one is just to easy for me.  Anybody else want to make the joke?

In all honesty, the best parts of the movie involve the two cops driving around with McLovin.  The rest sucks.

Wonder Woman (1974): I was working on watching this movie for a future review and after about 15 minutes, I had to stop watching.  This movie was just so boring and uninteresting.  I couldn't keep focus while watching it.  I will actually get back to it, but for now, I just can't finish watching it.

Shark Swarm: This is an interesting case.  I did watch the movie 3 times, but when it came to watching it once more for the review, I had to stop the movie.  I couldn't take anymore.  The flaws were so obvious now and everyone acted completely unrealistically that I couldn't stand it anymore.  I gave up.  I litterally gave up and watched off the movie and the review at once.  It's the only time I ever done that before.  Don't regret either.
