I try to avoid bad movies like the plague. I won't even waste my time with movies like "Freddie Got Fingered". I already know that Tom Green is not funny and apparently it took Drew Barrymoore a few more months to realize this.
I can tell you what I was most disapointed with though. What the hell were they thinking when they added that sappy story line to "Pearl Harbor"? I was fast asleep before all the good special effects started.
The last good movie that I saw was Gladiator and that was some time ago. Hollywood has been churning out a lot of crap lately.
Oh man.. I forgot. That's how good this movie was.

I'm a huge racing fan and I was so stoked to see "Driven". I had such expectations for that movie. I was even at a couple of the races when they were filming. Sly says that he's such a fan, but he has no clue on how to make a decent race movie. Sappy story line and typical Stallone macho crap mixed into the movie. The special effects weren't even that real or exciting. They didn't even use the real race announcers because they probably thought that they weren't good looking enough. They did dub in their voices though. I should've known better. I personally think it was all down hill after Rocky 1 with Stallone anyway.
The only good thing about Driven was when they took the cars through downtown Toronto (was supposed to be Chicago). The rest of it was garbage including the part when the car crashed into a little retaining pond and then exploded. These cars use Methonal and you cannot see the fire from the explosion because when Methanol burns, it burns clear. Besides, I thought I was in a time warp taken back to a bad Chips episode (every episode) when they get everyone clear of the car right before it explodes. Also, where was the Safety crew? I think the race was supposed to be in Germany. I think they should've hired a safety crew in Germany for the race.
