RECENT VIEWINGS (Bad Movie Thread!)

DARK ANGEL (1990)

filmed in '88 apparently... despite being a sci-fi tinged actioner, it has the low key, hemmed-in vibe of a bad movie that is resigned to its badness, not one that secretly thinks it's amazing.

Dolph Lundgren makes Van Damme and Wes Snipes look like charisma gods. he is so vanilla, which is appropriate because he also looks like a big ice cream cone.

soundtrack by Jan Hammer.

sample quote:

"like any magnet, it's attracted to other magnets".

educational.

DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW (1981)

very tv-movie feel, with an oddly sombre and downbeat atmosphere of foreboding throughout. I was hoping for a few laughs and perhaps some sequences of daft dialogue and general '80s fun'.... no such luck.

One thing I noticed is how there was a distinctly '70s and  early 1980s' way for mentally disabled people to be portrayed on screen. A way that would not fly today!

Also not a single crow was visibly scared in this movie, I checked. Bit of a 'watch-baity' title...
