Blankman! Oh my god... I haven't seen that in years. Even though the movie itself wasn't very great, I always enjoyed watching it.

I agree on Keaton's other movies; I never said he was bad in anything else.

On Kilmer, I guess I'll have to see some of those movies when I get the chance.


RIP Hacker.

I've never seen Catwoman (or Daredevil either) and with any luck, I never will. So what's with the Sharon Stone/Clayface thing?

In Catwoman, Sharon Stone's character overdoses on beauty cream and in result becomes invincible. The movie ends with an open ended fate for her that might suggest she will become Clayface in a sequel. At the moment, I consider her Clayface because otherwise the whole movie has no redeeming value, but if Clayface (albeit a ghey interpretation) is in it, then it wasn't a complete waste of my time.

Shouldn't best actor go to Bruce Campbell? He's a super hero just as much as Batman is, what with the lack of super powers, and he has far more catch phrases.

My list was supposed to be something everyone copy and pastes and does themselves. Bleh, I'm too lazy to redo mine anyway. Superhero movies are whack.
