I've never asked, but what were you doing in China, Macky?
Ni Hao Macky, don't tell me you saw this movie
I was there twice. The first time (Spiderman 3 incident) was when I went to visit my wife who was living/working there for 6 months. The second time was when I was giving a 12-hour lecture series on Environmental Chemistry at a university in Beijing ($2600 for two weeks, they paid for my flight and put me up in a nice flat, score).
They're speaking Japanese, and that obviously when Spidermaneru was part of the Science Ninja Team. I have to say, the actions sequences are much better than the Batman series, though it was 10 years its junior.

Armageddon
I like this film, lots of actions. And also, I'm amused by the cliches and physical inaccuracies that appear throughout the movie. But of course, not a movie I watch if I have a choice (it was the only thing going on TV atm).
Gee, I thought Al's response was far superior to your average sub-10 post invite vampire.
It had a beginning, a middle and an end...bonus points for excluding a rating scale.
I'm afraid however, that major points will be deducted for Bachmannesque inconsistencies betwixt the opening- "I like this film, lots of actions" (sic)- and the closing- "Not a movie I watch, if I have a choice".

How strange that Al_X's TV only gets one station which sadly I can't use as an excuse for (attempting) to watch
Cross http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1046245/
A very strong contender for worst thing that I have ever seen.Note I said thing not movie and I've seen fluffy bunnies die.
I presume that it was originally intended to be a more or less straight retelling of some comic book that I have never heard of but somewhere along the line someone involved realized just how terrible it was and decided to try and make it something else.Although what I have no idea as it isn't funny or exciting or intelligible just very ,very, very weird.
Other than that the whole thing looks incredibly cheap , the actors seem to be ad-libbing everything ( talking Brian Austin Green and not Christopher Guest here btw) and not just their lines but their actions as well.The scene when they enter "the warehouse" as a supposed well-trained commando unit is something that your average six year old could have directed more believably.
Anyway I have no idea how it all turned out as I could not force myself to watch much after that part.
My advice is if you have a choice between watching Cross and slowly peeling off one of your own fingernails ,do the wise thing and choose the latter.
Respect my lack of authority.
You probably need to explain how and why you attempted to watch this movie. I gathered within a couple of minutes that this would be utter shit. Then, afterwards, I went to watch the trailer to see how one could easily be fooled into thinking it might be a cool movie, but then I remembered to unmute my speakers.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't think you've been jaded enough if you're able to walk straight into this trap, Idol.
