Why, I don't even know who he is...
He's the douche crap director that did FarCry, Alone In the Dark, Bloodrayne, and whole slew of other awful films. He offers to box anyone who doesn't like his movies. :lol:
There was a FarCry movie? :shock:

Agreed. I liked parts of it, but overall, it was sub-par considering the budget and actors involved.
You expect good things out of Matthew Lillard and Freddie Prinze Jr.? :shock:

I just can't believe they had an opportunity to show us Mark Hamill in a space adventure, and didn't have Mark Hamill in the movie. It's Mark Hamill in a space adventure!

I wished they'd had Mark Hamill, but Freddy Prinze certainly earned some respect from me on the last season of 24. He was bad-ass.

From me too. He struck me as a bit ridiculous in the part at first. Took about 8 episodes for me to realise he was actually pretty damn good.

I think Prochnow was the biggest disappointment in Wing Commander.

Totally agreed. He's usually one of my favorites; totally wasted here.

Worst:
I was going to say Mario Bros from the start, but then remembered that the game doesn't take itself seriously, and the movie has some colors and the funny Mario Bros costumes...
I put it on par with Double Dragon (starring Mark Dacascos)...
But Bloodrayne... How can you fuck up a Vampire movie when the lead Vampire is a hot chick, formerly a hot Terminatrix?
As far as Vampire movies go, its even worst then glitsy Twilight, for chirst's sake...
I bought the movie (cheap, don't worry), watched it once, then gave it to a friend who liked it... Good Riddance...

Best:
While I liked Mortal Combat, I liked the Tomb Raiders movies more, for the mix of action and Angelina Jolie...
The truth always depends on which side of the fence you're standing... ;)

Worst:
Bloodrayne, although there are boobies.
Super Mario Bros. "Trust the fungus"? Really?
Street Fighter. Saw it on cable and was so glad I didn't see it in theaters.

Best:
The Prince of Persia. Jake Gyllenhaal, the same guy in Bubble Boy and Brokeback Mountain, as a buff action hero? Who knew!
Tomb Raider. Angelina Jolie really does the British accent justice, and who better to portray a busty, long-legged brunette than a busty, long-legged brunette? :Drool2:
Hitman. Timothy Olyphant did a pretty good job, although I thought Jason Statham would have been much better, seeing as how Agent 47 was supposed to be older, and Jason Statham is already an action hero and martial artist. And Olga Kurylenko.... :Drool1:

So was it wrong that her nude scene in Hitman was a turn on?

How could any nude scene with Olga Kurylenko be bad?

Given that she was being whipped brutally this one might not pass muster.
