Worst Movies Ever...some of them...

The tato prides himself in being a master of everything big screen and silver screen. The tato prides in the fact that from a preview or even a review he can tell what's worth it and what's not. He prides himself knowing that he will get disappointed when he watches this or that..and he knows when he will be elated...he knows when he is just passing time...he knows what he needs for every mood or occasion. The tato has prided himself in recommending movies and those he recommends to have always been satisfied.

However the tato remains unamused whenever he is wrong. And not that kind of wrong that he should have known better but that kind of wrong that is almost sinful. That kind of wrong that you lie there embarassed and broker and by your tato standards is totally sorry! The kind of wrong where all clues and hints mislead his super skills. When all his criteria is met and shattered from the credits!

The folowling will forever remain etched in my mind...and I'm ashamed for having watched them.Just to name a few!

1.Joshua Tree


Who funds these movies and why? Dolph Lungren and Kristian Alfonso a.k.a that chick from Days of our Lives called Hope.

2.Burn Hollywood Burn


Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

3.Good Shephard



Good Gawd! An all star cast like that... a DeNiro movie... I have never dozed in a movie like this not to mention I wanted to walk out!

4.The Firm



This is the worst adaptation from a novel. The movie was a box office success. I have never figured out why!


5.Artificial Intelligence



What was Spielberg thinking?

6.Drop Dead Gorgeous



Shame on me!

Species II



Seriously what was I thinking, let alone them?!

Tato will unleash a prize if you can get me pictures of the following. And please note I'm not asking for pictures of the actors/actresses or writer/director...work with me here...I want a pic of the cast or dvd cover etc...

1. Parker Lewis Can't Lose
2.Baby talk


ALF



an alien life form that had a craving for cats!

Perfect Strangers




Bulky and Cossin Larry......it really had a nice theme:

"sometimes the world look sperfect nothing to rearrange..but sometime u just get a feeling like you need some kind of change...no matter what the odds are this time..nothings gonna stand in my way...."


Monkees



heh heh we're the monkees...

they did the original "im a believer " song that was trashed in Shrek

More Previews

Cammon, admit it at times you let the preview overwhelm you and take you for a ride. And why shouldn't it, that's what it's for. Previews sell the movie...and after these 3 previews I am sold. Previews try to convince you this is the best movie ever. Usually very brief and well edited...very stingy...very showy...just enough to get you to the theatre.
Yup these did it for me!



300


It looks gory, graphic, bloody, mythic, gothic, legendary...think Lord of the Ring meets Apocalypto meets Gladiator. The preview is gruesomely awesome!

Live Free or Die Hard


Now this is one action packed preview...think John Woo, think Bruckheimer....This Grandpa is back. Bruce has always been a favorite of mine though of late he has been in some disappointing movies. This franchise has been super and the titles and voice in the voice over have always touched the right nerve with the tato.
Die Hard.
Die Hard...Die Harder.
Die Hard...Die hard with a vengeance
and now Live Hard or Die Hard....

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer



Now the first movie was a mediocre action flick...took too long establishing the storyline like we already didn't know the plot. The biggest mistake was wasting such a wonderful villain like MR. DOOM. Honestly he should have been saved for SPIDERMAN! But what it lacked in action it so compensated in humor. That flick was laugh out loud hilarious! And I'm excited to see the four return...and cannot wait.
