    I remember people not people nice about Rock of ages, but I really like it. One of my fav films of last year.

    Furry Vengeance starring Brendan Fraser and Brooke Shields.

    It's not funny, cute, exciting, nothing of interest really happens and is quite forgettable but I really enjoyed it.

    Jonathan Ross and a lot of other critics hate Kevin Smith films.

    Personally, I love 'em! (even Jersey Girl, but not Cop Out, it's dire)

    Evolution. Almost Ghostbusters-good IMO, but it got a bit of a panning from what I remember!

    All the "Resident Evil" films.
    All the "Underworld" films.

    They're just fun action flicks, with a dash of horror, and killer lead actresses.
    Can't understand just why critics are so vicious about 'em... :rolleyes:

    Hudson Hawk - universally panned.

    it's one of my favourite movies. What's not to love about a safe breaking caper set to "would you like to sing on a star".

    RED definitely. Saw it recently and was perfectly fine fun.

    The Green Hornet - Thought it was pretty good personally.

    Waterworld.

    Never understood why it is so hated. It is a good sci-fi adventure film and better than most Costner films.:)
