Episode 419: Bulletproof Monk (2003)

Moviesucktastic - July 11, 2024 20:58 ★★★★ - 15 ratings
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon meets Remo Williams meets Stifler. This film is none of those no matter how much wire work they use and how likeable Chow Yun-Fat and sometimes Seann William Scott is.

Episode 418: Faust (2000)

Moviesucktastic - June 13, 2024 19:26 ★★★★ - 15 ratings
Possibly the worst film Brian Yuzna has ever made. Love or hate him, he's always bringing something to the table. The film feels like he had too many people other than him calling the shots.

Moviesucktastic - May 23, 2024 21:45 ★★★★ - 15 ratings
The first of MANY sequels and even a TV show, how does this movie hold up today? Surprisingly good. They get some really good creepy moments all while keeping the horror aspect alive too.

Episode 413: Swordfish (2001)

Moviesucktastic - April 25, 2024 21:56 ★★★★ - 15 ratings
Hollywood has a bad habit of dumbing down computers and technology in movies. This is in part due to them not really knowing anything about computers and technology. Still the same with this? Oh yeah.

Moviesucktastic - April 18, 2024 17:31 ★★★★ - 15 ratings
The Wheel of Suck spun and League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen was chosen. Is it as bad as we remember? Is it better? Does Alan Moore still suck?

Moviesucktastic - February 22, 2024 14:21 ★★★★ - 15 ratings
This isn’t a whodunit whatsoever. Go into the film knowing that and you’ll walk out enjoying it. Mostly a French speaking film, it’s a truly well made and acted film. Even the dog should get an Oscar nom.

Episode 407: Oscar Talk: Killers Of The Flower Moon (2023)

Moviesucktastic - February 22, 2024 12:16 ★★★★ - 15 ratings
Martin Scorsese is a master filmmaker, no doubt about that. This film is extremely well made. While we did like it, does it really need to be three and a half hours?
