I'm waiting for the day FRANCHISE REBOOT becomes the commercial kiss of death.

I heard Bernie Madoff makes a cameo in this movie.

Instead of seeing any of those, "THE WARRIORS" is playing at Sunshine Cinema's midnight movies this weekend.

Uh, that's one of the films I listed and it's pictured above.

Spirit of 76

Pity they cancelled the Sarah Conner Chronicles. And no way I would follow this with Star Trek. That was an awful movie, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Terminator was not that good. The biggest twist of the movie was given away in the trailer and promos a month ago. I saw it opening day and the theater wasn't even full. The only reaction it elicited were guffaws of disbelief at the current helmsmen of the franchise for shamelessly referencing the old movies in totally lame and inappropriate ways as if it somehow could endear this new waste of time to the audience. "I'll be back" Seriously? Seriously.

If a prostitute can take down the Steamroller, than a porn star can take down the Terminator.

Talk about CGI. That Terminator still shot looks like a screen capture from some PC shooter.

the ads for night at the museum are so painful. i'm used to seeing robin williams, eddie murphy, jim carrey, and adam sandler (all once comedy heroes of mine) in crappy, unfunny roles. but i'm really not ready to see adam sandler, hank azaria, Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon (the last two who wrote the movie) go down the toilet yet.
