(*) Space Jam *

USA: Joe Pytka, 1996

The marketing executive's wet dream, this film would be an amusing satire of the mentality of these people if it wasn't real. Let's see, what do kids like? Aliens - check. Basketball - check. Bugs Bunny - check. All perfectly acceptable subjects for movies on their own, but who in their right mind would try to combine them together? This attrociously bad film sees Bugs Bunny and the other Looney Tunes enlist the aid of Michael Jordan in order to defeat a band of space invaders by playing a game of intergalactic basketball. Excited yet? Apart from being ridiculous in the extreme, this film rapes the personalities of the Looney Tunes and makes a bad joke out of cartoon characters that were once loved by millions but are here reduced to little more than brand names to be marketed. The film barely broke even, and rightly so: those responsible for this attrocity should not be employable.

Movies

Welcome to the movie checklist!

This section is an archive listing every movie I've seen from January 1 2005 onwards. Films I have already seen are included and will be marked with a (*), but probably won't be reviewed except under special circumstances. I will be including a rating for each film (in stars, out of 5), and hope to be able to include a brief 1-2 paragraph review of each film, although due to time constraints that won't always be possible.
