So gang. It seems like it is a given that some us go to or rent
movies we pretty much knoware going to be bad. So lets make it a
confession time and open up about other bad flicks we saw knowing they
were going to to be bad.
I have to think on it, but most recently, I saw Wild Hogs. Don't kick
me off the list, but I thought the first half was hilarious. I
watched a really bad one star movie, Cyber Wars also known as Avatar
or Matrix Hunter. It starred Joseph Lau, David Warner (Jack the
Ripper, Hog Father), and Joan Chen (twin Peaks) The Plot: In the near
future in the Asian city-state Sintawan, everyone's identity is
recorded in the vast CyberLink. The only way around this is using
illegal simulated identity implants (sims). A young bounty hunter who
makes her living tracking sims, finds herself the unlikely ally of a
police detective who suspects the CyberLink is being perverted for an
insidious and deadly purpose
Okay, your turn
