Two of a Kind (1983)
Two of a Kind has only one selling point: it reunites the popular team of Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, who ignited the screen in the mega-popular 1978 smash, Grease. While the two do work...

Heaven Can Wait (1978)
Harry Segall’s play became the basis for a popular film way back in 1941 with Here Comes Mr. Jordan, and while Heaven Can Wait may not quite live up to the classic status of that film, it...
Son of the Mask (2005)
$100,000,000 The figure you see above is what New Line Cinema reportedly paid to make this horrendously inept piece of garbage posing as family entertainment. Some sources have that figure at about $75 million,...
Crossroads (1986)
Crossroads is an underappreciated mid-80s sleeper that has a bit of a cult following, particularly among blues fans. I used to consider it a guilty pleasure, but I’ve grown to think it has aged...

Steel (1997)
Unintentional humor abounds, in this very poor attempt at trying to start up another franchise superhero (based on an actual DC Comics character spun off of Superman) with Shaquille O’Neal in the lead role. ...
Catwoman (2004)
Change the name, change the origin, change the town, change the personality, and what do you have? Not DC Comics’ Catwoman, I can attest. The only similarities between Catwoman‘s Patience Phillips and Selina Kyle of...
