Picasso Trigger (1988)
You MUST see this awful movie!
What were they thinking when they made this? I happened to roll over and was unable to sleep one night at about 2AM and this movie was playing on cable. It wasn't just awful because it was so dated (which of course can't be helped), but the acting was bad, the special effects, the score, the storyline -- need I go on? For as bad as it was though, I couldn't turn it off because I kept watching to see how bad it could get. The topper was when Steve Bond turned his crutch into a shotgun and then a missile launcher! And then the corny bad wrap-up scene. This movie is funny -- but not intentionally. Watch it only for laughs at how bad it is.
Cry Wolf (1947)
Barbara is always fantastic, but what a dud!!
I recently saw this one (unknowingly for the 2nd time). What were they thinking when they cranked this one out. True it has star quality with Stanwyck and Flynn, but what with the cartoonish supporting actors and very contrived ending which leaves you feeling cheated, it just never takes off. Further, the underlying "love story" is just totally unbelievable. True story: I am a big fan of Barbara Stanwyck and have made an effort to view her full catalog of movies. This one was so un-memorable, that I didn't realize I had seen it before until nearly half way through the movie. Obviously I had chosen to forget it soon after.
Desperate Housewives (2004)
Who's tired of the re-reruns already!!!
I have been watching this show from the beginning and I think it is one of the cleverest shows on television. But ENOUGH of the re-runs!!! In the last three months there have been only a handful of new episodes -- one new episode followed by weeks of repeats followed by one new episode. With all the waiting I'm losing track of what plot lines need to be resolved. I know ABC is heavily promoting the show and trying to draw in those that have never watched by repeat and re-airing on Saturday nights, but enough already. As I'm never sure when a new episode is scheduled, its no longer a priority so I just take a chance and record it. ABC -- don't sacrifice your die hard audience by leaving us hanging so long. Do like they did in the days of Dallas, Dynasty and Knots Landing -- give the true fans what they want and let the others catch up during the summer! Geeeesh!!!
