106. Natural Born Killers

Why, I don't know. It was like a train wreck for me...couldn't stand it, couldn't look away. Normally, I'm a huge Oliver Stone fan, but I thought he really jumped the shark with that one.

Agree on Star Wars Episodes 1 and 2. I wouldn't have made it through 2 if not for Samuel L. Jackson.

Solaris-- the George Clooney remake. I fell out twenty minutes in. Even the lovely Natasha McElhone couldn't keep me awake....and that's something I never thought I'd say.

Titanic. Three hours of my life, lost forever...and I don't care how many Oscars it was nominated for.

The Return of Bruno. Bruce Willis? Fine. Bruce Willis singing? Not so much.

Casino. Gods, what's not to like? Scorcese, DeNiro, Pesci, Sharon Stone, all-star supporting cast, awesome soundtrack? There must be something wrong with me...I just didn't like it. Thought it was overdone, and for some reason the word "turgid" comes to mind.
