The Poseidon Adventure (2005)
I completely disagree with the other guy
I saw this movie and I thought it was great and as good as the original, which is very dated and terribly overacted. That business at the end with that priest turning the knob and then sacrificing himself was ridiculous. This Poseidon Adventure may not have had Irwin Allen's budget, but it wasn't a seventies camp fest, either. Adam Baldwin's performance was a tour de force by an actor who will one day take his place on the A-list of Hollywood people. Shelly Winters was a fat irritation in the first movie. Thank God she was too old to reprise her role again. I don't think I could have taken it! This movie wasn't the best movie ever made. That was another movie. But this movie was really great and could be made into a TV series that I would definitely watch.
Ben & Arthur (2002)
This is the worst movie ever made
I can't believe I'm dignifying this junior high school quality nonsense with a comment, but I've got time to kill and nothing else to do. The star/director/writer, etc. has ZERO talent in all these areas. The guy who played Ben is a hottie. This was shot on VHS in a couple of people's apartments. The camera/lighting guys must have been the director's nephews or something. The quality of everything was dreadful. This is an unwatchable video. I thought it might be funny bad, but it's unbearable bad. What an ego fest for the sorry guy who played Arthur. How did this home movie find distribution? Is there really a market for this? Arthur tries to be funny and dramatic and playful/charming. He's a total loser. He had to make his own film because no one else would. Brief glimpses of Ben's chest are the only good thing about this home movie. The love scene is achingly silly. The wedding scene was dumb. Then the ex-wife suddenly shows up with her hair and waves a gun around for more "drama!" This is an abomination. I bet the director/writer/star boasts about it to this day. He is delusional.
