Casino Royale (1967)

So bad it is good?

[4/10 · 8 June 2005]

I tried to like this, really I did. Regardless of the few witty parts, it was littered with campy attempts at nonsense. And it was ever so successful at the nonsense.

Tons of cameos, hundreds of ubber-hotties (Joanna Pettet!!) and some of the all time greats: Orson Wells, Peter Sellers and Woody Allen. Even with the inclusion of these greats this film could not be saved from itself.

The plot is a little mixed. Should I be following David Nivin or Peter Sellers? It one thing to enjoy a comedy of errors but entirely a different matter if your movie is just full of errors. Too many directors and too many directions.

It is billed as the greatest spy spoof ever! I don't think they pulled it off. It was lost in silliness.

The Curse of the Komodo (2004)

I want my 92 minutes back!

Absolutely the worst plot – OK, maybe tied with Solarbabies as the worst plot ever.

So let's get this straight. You're a genetic scientist, you get your secret governmental funding from some upstart Navy commander who pays for your project out of petty cash and that empty coffee can next to the bottled water, you create giant carnivores to feed the world, left your daughter trapped on a deserted island with afore mention beasts for a meeting that you could have used your 1920's era two way radio for, power the "electric fence" and your only defense with a Honda generator the size of a shoebox, just happen to keep extra guns and explosives in that old shack a few miles away, know how to assembly any weapon but cant hit the broad side of a barn, just happen to keep some grain alcohol on hand for those downtrodden commando helicopter pilots that stop by for brunch, and cant wait to sacrifice yourself to save the love of your life.

Right…… It all becomes so clear now. You just want yourself and everyone you know to die and get off this movie.
