Joe's Apartment (1996)
Stupid, and with singing cockroaches? I love it!!
We happened to notice this on the TV in the video store one evening, and decided we had to have it. Unfortunately for the poor shop assistant, she was in the middle of watching it and had to take it out of the VCR to rent it to us.
Turned out to be a great choice, even though I hate cockroaches! A marvelously silly, feel-good film. Yes, of course it has a standard plot-by-numbers plot-line, but it's rare to find a film that doesn't these days.
What's even better is that the shops think it is a bad film, so the DVD is very cheap. Go out and buy one!
The Core (2003)
The funny side of Sci-Fi
This film is hilariously full of technical gaffes, not only to do with tunneling into the middle of the earth, but also several technical and scientific impossibilities which add to an already implausible plot line! But then I guess you could say light-sabres are also implausible...
It certainly is fast-paced enough to keep you entertained, and the opening scene is good, so be sure not to miss it as it is quite short. However there didn't seem to be anything in the plot-line to make this stand out over other every other Hollywood disaster movie. In fact, 'The Core' is a textbook example of a disaster movie.
Don't watch it if you have a degree in geology or geography, instead watch it with an alcoholic beverage or three, and enjoy it as an innocent piece of fun.
