Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever Is the Worst-Reviewed Movie on Rotten Tomatoes — 20 Years Later, Is It Still That Bad?
According to Rotten Tomatoes, there has never been a movie quite like Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever. The 2002 film, which stars Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu as espionage agents on opposite ends of an action-packed conspiracy, turns 20 years old today, and it bears one of the most unfortunate distinctions in the entire entertainment industry: It has 118 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and every single one of them says it’s bad. Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever is not the only movie with a 0% on the internet’s best-known review aggregator, but not all the zero-percenters are equal on that site. Even notorious duds like Jaws: The Revenge and Highlander II: The Quickening only have a fraction of the reviews have been logged for Ballistic. The odds that out of 118 critics, not a single one of them ever gave ...
Puss in Boots Uses Up Eight Lives in New Trailer for The Last Wish: Watch
Puss and Boots is down to his ninth and final life in the new trailer for DreamWorks’ The Last Wish. This is the long-gestating sequel to 2011’s Puss in Boots, which itself was a spinoff of 2004’s Shrek 2. Antonio Banderas returns as the titular fearless feline, who begins the trailer by defeating a giant, but who lingers in his victory speech a little too long and finds himself crushed to death. That’s nothing new to Puss in Boots, who, as he soon recounts, has died a number of times. There was the bull-fighting incident, the time he didn’t land on his feet, the mix-up with seafood, and the whoopsie in a cannon. He’s a bit slow to count it up — “I’m not really a math guy,” he says — but to his horror, he soon realizes he has already perished eight times. “What do ...
Uncharted Review: An Indiana Jones Riff That Still Delivers Some Unique Thrills
The Pitch: For non-gamers, Uncharted is a remarkably straightforward project: Hot treasure hunters go on an action-packed adventure to track down a centuries-old treasure? Sure, checks out. Maybe these particular treasure hunters aren’t as nobly intentioned as, say, one Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr., but that doesn’t mean 25-year-old bartender/history buff/aspiring thief Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) isn’t just as dedicated to tracking down some long lost gold. We first meet Nathan as a 10-year-old living with his older brother Sam in an orphanage, though Sam makes his escape from the place after a run-in with the law, leaving his brother with a family artifact (an engraved ring), followed by, in the ensuing years, a trail of vague postcards from exotic locals. Now (ostensibly) an adult, Nate’s ...
New Uncharted Trailer Adds a Pirates of the Caribbean Touch to the Video Game Adaptation: Watch
In the lull before Christmas really gets into gear, Sony has delivered a new trailer for what it hopes will be a new action-adventure franchise, starring its very own Spider-Man. Uncharted features Tom Holland as a young Nathan Drake, who gets swept up in a treasure hunt by his new partner Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg). The new trailer expands upon the first one by showcasing Nathan and Sully’s meet-cute, followed by them getting into some puzzle-solving adventures with a young woman named Chloe (Sophia Ali), who will presumably have more than one line of dialogue in the actual film (unlike this trailer). The hard sell here is the chemistry between Holland and Wahlberg, and to the trailer’s credit it does look like a lot of fun is in store there. Plus, for those who have missed t...
Antonio Banderas Joins Indiana Jones 5
Proving once again that archeology is the most handsome science, Antonio Banderas has signed onto Indiana Jones 5 (via Deadline). The 60-year-old actor joins a stacked cast that includes Indy himself Harrison Ford, as well as Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Mads Mikkelson. James Mangold takes over the directing chair from Steven Spielberg, while John Williams returns as composer. The production has faced the occasional setback, as when Ford injured his shoulder. But even so, the movie’s expected to swing its way into theaters on July 29th, 2022. There’s no word yet on whether Banderas will be friend or foe. But here’s hoping he gets some good writing for a change. His last two movies were the poorly received Dolittle and The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. Adver...
Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson and Salma Hayek Reunite in First Trailer for Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard: Watch
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-13T15:29:13+00:00“>April 13, 2021 | 11:29am ET Ryan Reynolds is back to protect people who don’t need protecting in the first trailer for Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, the new sequel to 2017’s The Hitman’s Bodyguard that also stars Samuel L. Jackson and Salma Hayek. Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard picks up four years later and finds Reynold’s bodyguard Michael Bryce unhappily retired. He tries to forget about his more exciting history with copious amounts of therapy, until one day his past catches up with him. As Sonia Kincaid (Hayek) explains amidst a hail of bullets, “The mafia took my husband.” That snatched spouse is notorious hitman Darius Kincaid (Jackson), and a...
