"Crossworlds", starring a pre-"Sports Night" Josh Charles, who plays an
aimless college student who gets picked up at a party by a hot blonde in a
mini-skirt. (That was the first clue for me.)
Said blonde turns out to be a warrior from another dimension, who's after our
hero because of a necklace he has, the last thing he has to remember his dead
father by.
Said necklace is actually a talisman that can, if wielded properly, allow the
user to shape the Cosmos to his or her fancy, travel dimensions at will and
other fun stuff.
The blonde takes our hero to her mentor, played by Rutger Hauer, whom we're
*supposed* to see as a famed and nigh-invincible warrior. (I might've bought
it, if not for the fact that I was in better shape than he was, one lung and
all.)
Anyhoo, the adventure just speeds- uh, *meanders* along to its utterly
predictable climax. Watchign it, I was grateful for both the ending and the
fact that I only paid six bucks for the video.

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
