Crimson Tide
Since I am trying to watch and appreciate more Tony Scott films of late, I figured it was about date I tried Crimson Tide. Despite it having been script-doctored by Quentin Tarantino, I’ve simply never got around to seeing it before.Well, towering story short: I wish I hadn’t bothered. The story was…
The 6th Day
I knew I was on to a loser when I opted to watch The 6th Day, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and, um, Arnold Schwarzenegger. I mean how much poor acting can one movie stand?!
