| actually Ronnie Howard is one of my favorite actors and directors. yes he's done some shitty films but some of them are just great. "Far & Away' for example is easily easily one of my favorites of his. i don't hate Michael Bay like most people do to be honest. but that doesn't mean i'm saying he's a great director by any means. he's not. he's ok.
there are worse directors than him to be honest. | |

there are worse directors than him to be honest. Yeah i think theres worse directors then Bay for sure. Most of them dont even have a "good movie " too there name. Uli Lommell is beyond awful and i really dont like the films ive seen by Fred Olen Ray. i also have an extreme Hatred of Baz Lurhman. I only saw one Chester Novell Turner film but its probally the worst film i have ever seen. But in terms of mainstream directors id say Friedberg and seltzer are the worst. | |

| i don't mind Fred Olen Ray. but i do agree that he's done a LOT of shitty films. leaving out his T&A films which does feel like that's all he's been doing lately. some of other work i don't mind. his action and horror films. he's also not a great director but he's a decent one. | |

| well "Mob Boss' is a fun film. not a great film but it's a spoof film really. it's better than some of his work. i got that one on VHS and i've watched it more than once. that one is from (1990) and "Cyclone' an old one from (1987) is a decent one.
and Jim Wynorski he too has done a lot of shitty films. but he's also done some good ones too. he's done some of those T&A films as well. but he's also jumped around genres as well.
he did easily one of my favorite films of my child hood. "Chopping Mall' an old (1986) film. have you seen that one? he's not a bad director either. but he's also not good enough to win any awards either. | |

| STARGATE - Roland Emmerich EVENT HORIZON - Paul WS Anderson RED DRAGON - Brett Ratner (well, I liked it anyway) THIS IS SPINAL TAP and THE PRINCESS BRIDE - Rob Reiner ROB ROY - Michael Caton-Jones (there's worse directors out there, but this is by far the best thing he's done) THE ROCK - Michael Bay TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE & POLSTERGEIST - Tobe Hooper
I'm sure there's more obscure ones that I'm too lazy to look up at the moment...

I consider Rob reiner to be a bad director but i didnt list him because i don't list ones where i like more then 3(I like Stand by me and misery plus those two). i also consider Ratner to be bad but didnt list him cause i dont like Red dragon. The only film ive seen by MCJ is Basic instinct to which i didnt like | |

(I was kind of on the fence about Reiner, but he has a lot to answer to for making NORTH.) People are pretty divided on Red Dragon, but I liked it, mostly for Norton and Fiennes. It's not great, but it's still the best thing Ratner's done lol. And yeah, McG is awful. I don't think he's done anything good. | |

And yeah, McG is awful. I don't think he's done anything good. No you can stil consider him since thats less then 4 movies lol. I saw North as a kid and didnt even like it back then . He seems to love making Generic RomComs as well as push his anti-smoke views down everyones throats. | |

| actually i kinda like north. it's not on the top of my list of being among his best films but it's not among the worst i've ever seen. but than i also enjoyed "Wired' as well even though i know how much that movie has shit wrong anyways.
anyways, i think people shouldn't blame Reiner for doing "North' meaning that i've enjoyed most of his films. but he has done some bad ones. "The story of us' is one i actually enjoy even though it flopped when it 1st came out.
i think "North' flopped too. but "The Story of us' is i think a better film. anyways as for Charlie's angels i like the cast don't get me wrong. but the film is shit. i saw that film in the theatre and it was with a woman so there ya go.
i have nothing against the acting in it. it was fine as brad would say. but it was badly directed. and though i've never been a fan of "Charlies Angels' anyways the tv show is i think one of the worst tv shows in history. but many seem to love it. to each their own as i always say he he.
anyways. if you want a good laugh here's one. i got for x-mas when the 2nd film came onto dvd the 2nd film i had no desire to see it but someone got it for me and what am i going to say hey i refuse to accept this ya know?
but the funny part is when i opened he goes here's something good to look at. i forget his exact words but he said something how it's a film with good looking women in it. and honestly the 2nd film is a bit better than the 1st film.
which surprised me. i still have it and even though the 2nd film is shit it's still far better than say "The Blair witch project' or hell even "Hulk' that terrible piece of shit that came out in (2003) a well acted film let me add.
but it had an ok script but what ruined it for me was the directing it was directed like a film in the 70's where it's got split screen. it doesn't bother me on 70's films. like say 'More Amerian Graffitti'
which is a decent film as well. but for a comic book movie that was pretty much out of date is my point. that way of shooting a film. but when you make a certain type of film that way of doing it doesn't bother me. but in a film in (2003)
it was the 1st film i can think of that was shot that way since "American Graffitti' in (1979) as far as i know.

The only reason why i saw the charlies Angels film was cause of some of the cast to(Murray,Clover,Cury).I never saw the 2nd one and have no intrest in seeing it same goes for the show. Im glad you also think that Blair Witch Project sucked. I didnt like that movie at all i found the characters to be very anoying. Yeah Hulk as a terrible piece of shit and definatly one of the worst marvel films. Ang Lees a director i just cant get into | |

| Ang lee has done better films. i'd have to look up what else he's done. oh he'll i thought house of 1,000 corpses to be another piece of shit. i don't see how anyone can love that film. though i do love the sequel.
and he's a decent director "Rob Zombie' is but house of 1,000 corpses isn't directed that well. it's not terribly directed but since it was his 1st film i can give some forgiveness on that. and "Halloween' i know most people hate the film but it's an ok film. the uncut version i'm talking about. as for the 2nd film i haven't seen it yet. | |

Ang Lee is....not for everyone's tastes. His adaptation of Sense & Sensibility is good if you like that sort of thing. Brokeback Mountain was okay but kind of overwrought. I haven't seen Life of Pi but I probably will. Hulk was terrible. Thought of a couple more - BILLY ELLIOT - Steve Daldry (although that's probably due more to Jamie Bell than anything else). 8MM - Joel Schumacher I kind of hate to say it but George Romero really hasn't done anything good since NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD & DAWN OF THE DEAD. | |

I completely understand why you'd hate to say such a thing because Day of the Dead is simply the best zombie movie ever made | |

I didnt lis Romero because i like most of his stuff.I enjoy all the of the dead films except for diary and Survival and really like some of his none zombie films. I acutally never got around to seeing Billy Elliot but i do agree that Stephen is a bad director | |

| Actually when it comes to Romero's work i haven't seen all of his films to be fair. but 'the crazies' i caught off TCM a couple years back and i thought it was fucking terrible. i haven't seen the remake yet but i hope it's better than the original was. and oh day of the dead that's a great movie.
shoot her dead. 'bang your deaad' i dunno how to spell that accent. but close enough. Monkey Shines i actually like. and i love the book and the film version of 'the dark half' many people don't like that one but honestly it's pretty close to the book. i haven't seen the workprint version so that one may hell be even better than the theatrical cut. but it's a favorite of mine. 'two evil eyes' is a classic' 'land of the dead' while i don't like it's a fun film i think.
i saw that one in the theatres and it's one i bought on dvd when it came out and the unrated version is better. but still it's no classic. anyways. Joel S. has done some good movies. but like i said he also had done some shitty films. people always judge him because of his batman films. batman forever is a fun film. he has done some good films. and honestly 'Falling Down' i have seen a few times but i think that's a shitty film but to each their own i guess.
hell even "Steven Spielberg' has done shitty films. not all his films are classics either no matter what era you choose to look. | |

| Eh, after NIGHT and DAWN, Romero's stuff is diminishing returns for me. Schumacher has done some movies that are guilty pleasures (like BATMAN FOREVER and PHANTOM OF THE OPERA) but I wouldn't call them good; I thought FALLING DOWN was overrated. If there's one thing this thread has shown it's nobody has a perfect track record LOL. | |

| exactly. hell even hitchcock did some shitty films as well. and he's a favorite of mine. 'the man who knew to much' the original version, number 17, the birds are all shitty movies in my opinion and they bore the living shit out of me.
just to name a few. my point is i'm going by what Romero films i have seen. and i haven't seen all of them. but yes he's done some shitty films. but there are a lot of them i do love that he's done. | |
