dxmatrixdt Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 The Fly 2.... wow. This and Communion are really aimed at kids with the makeup effects. I wonder if they had to deal with the MPAA with edgy material, or maybe just they were trying to cater to a larger audience. It is not looking good so far.

The Fly 2s big mistake was excluding Cronenberg. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dxmatrixdt Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Do the Right Thing is tanking right now. it's barely looking to make the top ten with this list. The pizza joint setting is too familiar now with movies. If feels plucked right out of time. The laughs are good 30 minutes in, but they can be easy to make. If it gets an A, then it is going to have to rank above License to Kill, Star Trek, and Lethal Weapon. 1 - Halloween 2 - Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Friday the 13th 4 - The Abyss 5 - Batman 6 - Indiana Jones 7 - License to Kill (8 - Star Trek 5) (9 - Lethal Weapon 2) 10 - Akira 11 - Dead Poet's Society 12 - Leviathan 13 - Glory 14 - Pet Semetary 15 - Christmas Vacation (16 - The Fly 2) 17 - Communion 18 - Casualties of War 19 - Always (20 - Red Scorpion) 21 - Parenthood 22 - Ghostbusters 2 23 - The Punisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
