Why...
| 1. |
did anyone think the videogame sequence
would work? For that matter, why did anyone think the entire movie
would work? (The Beach) |
| 2. |
wasn't there only one? (Highlander: Endgame) |
| 3. |
am I supposed to care about a bunch of idiots who
make a stunningly foolish decision? (The Perfect Storm) |
| 4. |
would anyone want to see Richard Gere kissing Winona Ryder?
(Autumn in New York) |
| 5. |
didn't anyone notice the boom mikes were in the
shot on more than occasion? (You Can Count on Me) |
| 6. |
did Ennio Morricone write such an inappropriate
score for Mission to Mars? |
| 7. |
weren't Tigerland or The House of Mirth
released widely? |
| 8. |
are we supposed to sympathize with anyone in Eye
of the Beholder? Heck, why did they even make the movie? |
| 9. |
did John Frankenheimer direct Reindeer Games? |
| 10. |
was a remake of Shaft necessary? |
