Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
One of the very worst movies I've ever seen!!!!
Terrible bloated overdone bomb of a movie. Completely awful soundtrack, mixed horribly with the most obvious electronic harmonization of the Oompa loompas. Danny Elfman is normally okay, but this flat out sucked. Johnny Depp basically is playing Micheal Jackson. Lots of non sequeters in terms of time and space. Compared to the original it's a joke. On its own it's a overblown waste of time and money. There is nothing at all charming about this movie. I'll bet that it will be forgotten in pretty short order. Stay away. FAR AWAY!!!! With the current spate of remakes, this is one that is completely without merit. Not that Walking Tall, or the Dukes of Hazzard are gems, they're not, but this movie. UGH!
Hamburger: The Motion Picture (1986)
One of the better bad 80's movies
I disagree with the other poster! This is a great example of a "B" movie, the only thing seriously wrong with it is that it has a terrible soundtrack. The acting isn't half bad, and it has Dick Butkis puts on a great performance. I can think of many worse films than this one! There are numerous sight gags that still hold up today, and it is (in a way) a valid commentary on the fast food industry. Perhaps this and "Supersize Me" would make a great double feature? In all fairness though, this is a "guy" kind of movie...my wife didn't quite think it was nearly as funny as I did. Perhaps an even better double feature would be "Nice Dreams" the Cheech and Chong movie. An entrées and dessert........sort of!
