I thought Elf was a snooze-fest (no offense, Mr. Favreau) but that Old School was one of the best comedies of the last 10 years. I think Ferrel is much stronger as a part of a good ensemble cast and am therefore not compelled to see him in starring vehicles at this point. 152322@blogcritics.org Fri, 13 May 2005 15:43:33 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/13/103033.php#comment-152320 Die Hard 2 wasn't an awful sequel but only because part 3 was worse. Same for Elm Street in the context of later episodes. I enjoy Ford Fairlane most but that is because I find Andrew Dice Clay amusing in a derisive manner. 152320@blogcritics.org Fri, 13 May 2005 15:39:02 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/13/103033.php#comment-152157 Maybe I should have clarified a bit. Harlin has made films I have enjoyed, naybe not "hit" in the traditional sense, but as far as me liking. Let's look at a few of his movies: Exorcist The Beginning=Awful Driven=No desire to see Deep Blue Sea= B movie fun Long Kiss Goodnight=I liked this a lot, probably his best film Cliffhanger=Decent Stallone vehicle Ford Fairlane=Please Cutthroat Island=Haven't seen yet Die Hard 2=Fun big action pic Nightmare on Elm Street 4=One of the better entries,but I am a fan of the series. 152157@blogcritics.org Fri, 13 May 2005 12:17:23 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/13/103033.php#comment-152153 The hit or miss comment on Renny Harlin is funny. When was the last time that guy had a hit? When was the last time he made a decent film? Did he ever? Mindhunters has been delayed so many times that it couldn't be good. And I know that it isn't because the import DVD has been at my local video store for months. 152153@blogcritics.org Fri, 13 May 2005 12:09:34 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/13/103033.php#comment-152154 The hit or miss comment on Renny Harlin is funny.
