More from Netflix: Interactive Edition

Attention:
Here comes another batch of the Netflix dreg.  But there's also something different this time around.  In honor of the new(ish) movie section on Buzznet I've gone ahead and made this hinge on your very involvement.  What I'm going to do is open this up for voting.  Just leave your vote in the comments and whichever movie gets the most votes I will, dear lord, watch and then review.  I don't know if it'll be funny (MST3K) or depressing (I become a serial killer).  Let's see how it goes.  If I don't kill myself I might just do this again.

The Evilmaker / Abomination: Evilmaker II
A cabin filled with evil... and girls in skimpy clothes?  Who cares?  Apparently the victim's sister in this double feature sequel!  How about a horror movie where the victim has to watch a shitty horror movie?  Too close to reality?

Balls of Fury
Sorry if you like these kinds of movies.  No, really.  I'm sorry.  I know there's that whole Walken thing going on (much like the Chuck Norris thing) but let's be honest.  The man used to act and doesn't anymore.  He's too depressing for me to look at.  Next!

The Heartbreak Kid
Does anyone else remember the Ben Stiller Show?  Remember how it was really funny except for Ben Stiller.  That should have been a hint for him.  It's also sad when your dad has to come onto your sketch comedy show to bail you out.

Underdog
No.  I'm serious.  No.

Bring It On: In It to Win It
This time they're pulling out the stops!  Really, the summary said so.  Which is a shame, because "stop" should really have been the key word when production went into gear.  My question is: Why is this rated PG-13 when the target audience is supposed to be 9-13 year olds?

Hatchet
This bills itself as an old-school American horror but really seems like it's going to be a cheap, crappy suck-fest.  What is with movies aspiring for B status these days?

Blade Runner: The Final Cut: Special Edition
Scott: just stop it already!  This is, what, the 3rd or 4th cut now?  You've said sci-fi is dead now that you don't do it.  You claim cinema is dead now as well.  Also, you say you invented the idea of a movie with "wet streets, lots of neon and a funny guy".  Ridley, you scare me.
EDIT: I now own this copy.  The above really wasn't hate for the movie, but for the raving, spittle-coated living hubris that Ridley Scott has become.

Boy Eats Girl
Do you really think I'd do a list without a cannibal movie?  Never!  Pretty much, the title explains the whole movie.  And not in a sexy way.

Alien vs. Hunter
Any movie that wants to be like Alien Vs. Predator is already working against itself.

On Bloody Sunday
"A serial killer is stalking MySpace, preying upon the teens of a small town."
Are we done yet?

Alien Apocalypse
I'm all for new Bruce "The Chin" Campbell movies, but not like this.  Not like this.  You can do better.  Stop selling yourself so short.  Just from the cover we can figure out what glory days you're trying to recapture.


Crypt of Terror: Horror from South of the Border: Vol. 1
Crypt of Terror: Horror from South of the Border: Vol. 1 (4-Disc Series)
Who doesn't win when there's a zombie with a sombrero on the cover?  Apparently the viewer.  On of the stories is about a girl possessed by a doll.  I'm pretty sure a girl possessed by a doll would be very dull, as she'd just sit there.  Now, maybe a doll possessed by a girl...

I say Evilmaker or Horror South of the Border.

For the second one, you could do a theme viewing! Drink Margaritas and eat nachos!

My vote will be based on how much I want to torture you. JK

BTW I'm going to see Blade Runner: The Final Cut; that is going to be awesome to see in a cinema.

Im going to run away & vote now.

Nice! I'd love to but it's not playing near me... I guess I'll have to get people together for a movie night. Hell, maybe I'll invest in a projector and make my own theatre.

That's tough. Boy Eats Girl or Alien Apocalypse. But since I don't want to be an enabler for Bruce, I'm going with Boy Eats Girl!

Might have suggested Blade Runner: The Final Cut: Special Edition, but since you already own it, will leave that for (hopefully) a future dissection of all of the versions and re-re-releases (ad nauseum) of Ridley Scott's original Blade Runner, which was originally a good film. Was fortunate enough to have seen it originally on the big screen and then bought it on VHS. Bought the original DVD, but was disappointed in the video quality, and gave it away.

And don't forget that Blade Runner was based on Philip K. Dicks novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? There was an excellent book, a collection of essays entitled Retrofitting Blade Runner: Issues in Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner' and Philip K. Dick's 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' written by Judith Kerman in the late '90s that's worth considering.

All that being said, my vote goes for Underdog, and leave you to wonder how Disney could have made such a mockery of the excellent animated cartoon series that ran from 1964 to 1973, and featured the voice of the late Wally Cox as Underdog. Does anyone remember his voice announcing:

"There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!"

Some things should just be left anone, and this film version of Underdog is a good example. Watch it and see if you agree.
