The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue (1998)
Cinematic Misery
I knew this movie was going to be bad since before production started. Release day finally came. After a month or so of procrastination, I rented it. And I survived. This so-called sequel to The Secret Of NIMH is nowhere near the creepy-yet-cute level of the original. Instead, it looks more like a bad Rescue Rangers episode. The songs not only shouldn't be there, but they're awful. There's nothing new in the plot-it's pure formula-absolutely pure! It's childish, badly written, and the producers tried to compensate for the faults by encasing the thing with gloss. Didn't work.
Wizards (1977)
Only the 70's could have spawned this turd of a movie.
When I first heard of this movie, I thought it might be good. Since this was considered among the better and tamer of Bakshi's works, I decided to check it out. Upon renting it, I found perhaps one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The story TRIES to be funny but only comes off as stupid- I mean everything can be summed up as the Nazis Vs. the Keebler Elves- who thought that up ?!?! The animation is so truly awful, even the rotoscoping comes out as blurred masses. The movie is an incredible waste of time. By the ending, nothing matters anymore- the message was completely screwed in favor of a cheap joke. The only way I'd watch it again is if it were to be shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000, getting the treatment it so richly deserves.
