    Idle Hands is a very late-90s stoner comedy… horror movie. This turns out not to be a winning combination of genres. It works, as both, but the audience is the overlap of a Venn diagram instead of both circles. It’s a stoner movie you absolutely should not watch while stoned.

    It’s also packed with now-recognizable names. Seth Green, Jessica Alba, Vivica Fox, Devon Sawa, Elden Henson.

    Absolutely bombed.

    I loved The Chronicles of Riddick! It’s bombastic space opera, of which we have much too little that isn’t Star Wars tripe, and Vin Diesel is perfect in this role.

    Hot take, I enjoyed Chappie. I don’t care that there’s some self-insert band in there, it’s just a funny robot movie

    Blind Fury (1989) was my guilty pleasure. 6.3/10 on imdb.

    Contains a death scene like Darth Maul’s but predating it by 10 years.

    Constantine. I’ve seen it dozens of times and it never gets old. Tilda Swinton as Gabriel and Peter Stormare as Satan are a big part of why.

    Three O’Clock High is an all-time favorite. It’s like somebody set out to make THE stereotypical eighties movie. Budget Matthew Broderick? Check! Bratty little sister? Yes, sir! Nerdy best friend? We got you! And don’t get me started on how fantastic Buddy Revelle is. I feel like it’s got way better cinematography than it should, and the acting seems surprisingly good to me.

    There’s lots of them but one that hasn’t been mentioned is Sucker Punch. It’s 6.1 on IMDB and 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and I loved the visuals.

    Also, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is terrible but everyone needs to watch the opening sequence

    Freddy got fingered is the most notorious example of a movie with very funny/memorable scenes that got hated.

    Palm Springs should have had best movie oscar, much less nominated, is my biggest pet peave.

    Van Wilder

    Soundtrack is incredible, it’s one of Tara Reid’s best roles, the cast is absolutely stacked, and IMO it’s basically Deadpool without the costume. It’s Ryan Reynolds best movie to date, and if he doesn’t return for a second (the sequel doesn’t exist) his career afterwards is ultimately pointless.

    I filtered in IMDb movies where I have voted 7+ while user rating is up to 6 and these jumped out seemingly panned by both critics and users.

    1. Gods of Egypt. Visually great, standard action story, don’t get the dislike at all.
    2. Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. I have watched most Tremors movies, have given them 6+. The one I disliked most was Tremors: Shrieker Island which I have rated 3.
    3. Iron Sky. Do not remember a single thing, but it looks fun. Probably will rematch soon.
