Total Recall (1990)
... Stone stars.
I've seen this movie when I came out in 1990 and was a big fan.
The special effects were brilliant, Arnie was 'god' and Sharon Stone was still hot in those days.
Now, 14 years later, the special effects are outdated. I know techniques are improved 'big time' but these turned into something comical while the special effects from films like 'Alien' still stand like a rock.
And without these effects, the weak story, poor acting performances and directing/editing are revealed and the movie isn't so great what it used to be.
Team Spirit 2 (2003)
And the razzie award for worst foreign movie goes to ...
Awful movie. It's a shame that a few of Flanders's top actors and actresses made such a lamentably poor film.
There is barely something changed since the first movie and the TV series: same actors, same prototype characters, same scenario (emotional complications, the team under emotional pressure but everything turn out tip-top after a predictable grand finale). Another constant fact in the work of Jan Verheyen is the exaggerated product placement (company logo's on the team's shirt and along side the pitch OK but two times a commercial (by one of the characters) about an internet provider is just over the top.
Meanwhile, rumour has it about the making of a second series for Flanders commercial TV station 'VTM' (coincidental or not, the station where Jan Verheyen is programmation manager since a few months)
To conclude ... and the golden raspberry award for worst foreign movie goes to ... Team Spirit 2
