03.23.07	Alamo Village	Man... this movie is so great. And by that I mean it's absolutely 100% terrible. But it's somehow a good kind of bad, which is rare for contemporary bad movies. It's like a Weird Wednesday grape just waiting for 30 years of cinema to ferment it into sweet sweet wine. It's like a third-generation dub of Commando, Sniper, and The Fugitive all wrapped up together in a mind-numbing series of cliches, tired plot twists, and explosions. Walking out, Jarrette said it was like a WWE film without the wrestler star. I mean, this movie is SO bad... if you went in looking for quality filmmaking you might be very upset. BUT, if you don't mind laughing AT a movie once in a while, and you have a soft spot in your heart for the 80s action-fests, you can have a great time with it. like I did. So great. And it completely lives up to it too... it never dissapoints you by getting decent for a scene or two. Nope, it's thoroughly bad from start to end... If this was made by David Wain or the South Park guys, I'd say it was genius, but then again they might wink to the audience a bit much and ruin the tone essential to this movie being so funny. Really. It's hilarious.
