Around the World in 80 Days (1956, Unrated)
A real clunker. Seemingly more interested in being a travelogue than an adventure film, the movie is severely lacking in excitement, suspense, and enduring humor, and most of the characters grate on the nerves. In every new locale, the movie drags its feet in order to give us a fifteen-minute look at a sun-drenched landscape or an exotic circus routine, and this drudgery repeats itself for three hours that feel more like three days (which is about how long it took me to get through this plodding fiasco). The TV miniseries starring Pierce Brosnan is far superior. |

All the President's Men (1976, R)
I'm sorry, but this movie is BORING! And no, I'm not the kind of moviegoer who has to be watching explosions in order to be entertained. If you take a good look at my ratings and reviews, that should be apparent. This is just a boring, boring movie, and that's all I can say, really. |
