Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006)
Not the worse movie ever, but pretty close
I hate it when someone on here starts comparing a movie by stating its the "worse ever" when the reality is they have seen much worse movies and they don't possess the intellect to simply tell others the movie wasn't worth watching without admitting they at least found a part of the movie entertaining or funny. In fact, they will deny they found ANY part of the movie funny just to rant and rave about how bad it was. I choose to compare fairly. Seriously, Larry the Cable Guy needs to stick to stand-up comedy and stay out of the movie business. I can't believe the fan following he has though. I honestly think that along WITH the other redneck comedians, he's entertaining and funny, but by himself, he's truly not that funny. I saw him live at the Houston Rodeo a few years back and Houston is FULL of rednecks and Larry lovers - ESPECIALLY at the rodeo. People loved Larry anyhow, but not too many people laughed to my recollection at anything he said. Him dragging that into another movie pretty much sets the stage for a good nap. However, I couldn't give this movie a 1 because I remember laughing if only a minute chuckle at a few scenes and somehow I did manage to stay awake through the entire movie (mostly out of curiosity). However, since I've seen Going Overboard with Adam Sandler mostly because I'm an Adam Sandler fan, I've realized that Going Overboard was even a bigger disappointment with not ONE funny scene or joke in the entire movie, thus it deserved a 1 and this movie wasn't THAT bad comparatively. If you've ever seen Rubberface which was one of Jim Carrey's first movies ever, it was also a 1 rated movie in my opinion as it was not funny at all. The difference is, Adam Sandler and Jim Carey were early in their career and went on to do some of the funniest stuff EVER and these movies were poor examples of their earlier trials that did not work. The difference is Larry the Cable Guy has already "made it" as a comedian being one of the highest paid comedians over the past few years, and THEN he tries to make a movie and it of course bombed. I don't see Larry the Cable Guy ever becoming in the future in the movies anything towards the talent of Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey, no matter how many times he farts in a film.
Shark Week: Air Jaws II: Even Higher (2002)
Air Jaws II as good as the first one
I actually have both of them on one DVD as they came on one DVD together. Both films contain the most amazing footage you'll ever see on Great White sharks. We played the DVD on the big screen with a projector and simply awed in what we saw. I love the ocean and I'm a shark fanatic (especially Great Whites) and I've seen this film again and again and will watch it again soon. For the true Great White enthusiast, it is unfortunate as this DVD will cost you over $100 if you try to find it online somewhere. I was lucky enough to have gotten one when it was not so expensive. Perhaps the scarcity of the DVDs are why not many people on here have commented or voted on the film. If you have not seen it and you like the ocean or have an interest in sharks or oceanography at all, you are truly missing out on this great documentary.
Jaws Unleashed (2006)
Jaws fans will love this game
Well even those who aren't big Jaws fans can still love this game. Being the shark and attacking unsuspecting boaters and swimmers is much different than any other game you'll ever played and the idea is fantastic. I wonder why PS2 doesn't have a video game where you are Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers? Do they think those movies were too long ago for a successful game to be made? Perhaps the latest Halloween movie coming out may finally give them inspiration to make one. Sometimes gamers like to play the villain. Doing so in this game as Jaws was different, but very fun and I think that if you check out others' votes, they agree. I heard this movie was difficult to find apparently at one point, but I got mine here in Houston and I suppose many were available, so getting one wasn't difficult. Then again, when people are having a tough time finding Madden Football, I can always find one here too. If you haven't played this, now you can find one fairly cheap on eBay and it is worth buying and playing.
Shark Week: Air Jaws: Sharks of South Africa (2001)
Some of the most amazing footage of Great Whites ever!
I can't believe only 6 people had voted on this when I got to it on here. This documentary has some of the greatest footage ever on Great White sharks. If you are a Great White enthusiast, you truly need to see this film. It is no wonder when I tried to find this on eBay, copies of it went for over $100 for the DVD. The film was simply AMAZING! I had my nephews here on vacation at my place and they very much were into science type films, so we plugged this one in and they watched it with wide open eyes and enjoyed it. On the big screen using a projector, this is the movie to see with a gathering of people. I've seen it many times and watch it again and again. I can't stress how amazing this film actually is and I can only hope there are more done like this.
Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Absolutely my favorite movie
This movie is so full of symbolism and is a literary genius. Many people who watch this movie at face value simply seeing Luke as just some guy who went to prison (chain gang) and would not conform do not get this movie at all. I've read many comments on IMDb about this movie and even those who really liked it do not hint on the meaning of this movie. Luke goes to prison for a simple crime of destroying government property by cutting heads off of parking meters in a drunken stoop. He truly cares less about life in general demonstrated by what he did in the war. In the war he earns medals that he downplays which relates directly to the respect he earns of his fellow prisoners. If you saw this as some kind of male bonding movie, then you aren't looking far enough into it. Consider that Luke eats 50 eggs which represents the rebirth of the 50 prisoners there. Eating the eggs bloated him which is what a pregnant woman looks like. You see Luke laying on the table with both arms straight out and one leg folded over the other and he's wearing only white shorts. If you didn't get the Jesus Christ symbolism at that point, then you didn't get the movie. This is NOT male bonding. Luke is emulating Jesus Christ in a rough manner taking their pain into himself. He escaped 3 times not because the author wanted you to see him keep getting caught, but 3 is a prominent number in the bible. For those who questions him dying at the end, it's obvious he dies if you follow that symbolism. He died for them. This movie is such a literary genius that it almost upsets me to even hear it compared to the likes of The Shawshank Redemption, a movie I also like. It doesn't compare. It's unfortunate that so many people do not see the comparable difference of a great literary work to that of another great movie. While the Shawshank Redemption was entertaining, it doesn't have that deep literary content that fills Full Hand Luke. This is why you don't hear great quotes from it like you do Cool Hand Luke. Probably the greatest thing about Cool Hand Luke is we all can relate to wanting to be like that, but most people do not have the nerve to be that strong. That's what makes him different. All the religious symbolism only strengthens this movie into what I feel is the greatest movie ever produced.
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
This is simply one of the best movies ever with superb acting
I simply do not know how some people out there voted this movie anything less than a 6 or 7, but a small percentage had the audacity to vote it a "ONE"! There are always that small percentage. Sometimes I believe people vote down other movies in some attempt to get THEIR favorite movie into a certain spot. The fact that people put that much effort into doing so amazes me. I'll take the time to comment on a movie and give my 2 cents worth of opinion. This movie was a classic the day it premiered and the 2nd place showing overall demonstrates that without fault. My hope is those who voted it down somehow obtain a clue.
