I am right now watching Toby McGuire's Spider-Man again with my son. I haven't seen it in ages. Harry Osborne is a really creepy boyfriend.

Spiderman 3 with the emo Pete Parker montage.
The Silence of the Lambs sequel with the brain slicing/frying scene.
Strange LOL

Not too sure I'd say those were unintentional really. Raimi's movies have always features some goofiness and there's no way on Earth the guy that gives us Evil Dead 2, Army Of Darkness and Darkman doesn't see the humour in emo Parker. Cringe-humour maybe, but I reckon it was intentional. The Hannibal one, well, Ridley Scott says on the commentary he always thought of it as a black comedy. That's certainly supported in the movie. Hopkins is camping it up and Gary Oldman is certainly having a blast as Verger. I think the absurdity of Lecter cooking Ray Liotta's brain and feeding it to him while speaks for itself.

I remember seeing Hannibal at the cinema & the audience i watched it with were laughing of making "urgh" noises with that scene while laughing. The thing that irks me isn't so much the emo Parker scene but the dancing with Gwen where MJ sings was cringeworthy & I'd cut that scene out & had Parker start a fight & see MJ get hurt realising his actions caused her to be injured, then again I'd made lot changes to that film, we never find out if Sandmans daughter recovers from cancer which is the entire point of his actions to get money save his daughters life.

They are knowing comedic moments. Ridley Scott seemed to take that "having an old friend for dinner" line from the end of Silence of the Lambs & used it as the tone for Hannibal.

Doom Annihilation, utter utter crap made by someone who has no idea what Doom actually is & they have the cheek to sequel bait the ending.
Just hire the very underrated Scott Adkins & let him cut loose on demons for 90 minutes instead dishing out this piffle.

I really enjoyed that, as a coda it was excellent. A nice little slice of breaking bad, 6 years later.

Watched a pair of movies over the weekend. Despite the large bluray collection, I rarely have time.
Rio Bravo - It's a stock Western plot full of stock Western characters, but it's done so well that it doesn't matter. It's absolutely bursting at the seams with character and personality. There's a constant tension despite the lengthy run time. One of John Wayne's finest alongside The Searchers. A favorite film I return to often.
Bram Stoker's Dracula - I'm a fan of the original novel, and really like this adaptation even in spite of Keanu and Dracula's buttcheek hairdo. I find it a breath of fresh air because it's close (ish) to the book whereas most other adaptations take their cues from Bela Lugosi. And of course Anthony Hopkins' Van Helsing is worth the price of admission alone. The sets and the costumes are to die for. The use of deliberately old-timey effects and filming techniques lend the film a very unique feel. Cheesy at times, yes. But overwrought in the best kind of way.

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder Great to see Casper Van Dien back as Rico and actually there's a really good story underneath all this. Just wish it had had a bigger budget
The Fifth Element Still fantastic after all this time and the effects still hold up. Especially against some films made today

I have a certain fondness for Bram Stoker's Dracula and Dracula in general but, imo, the fact that Mina gets constantly sidelined despite her and Helsing being the only capable heroes in the entire story is a constant pain in the rear when she's the most interesting character in the thing. But hey, I'm a sucker for a good epistolary novel.

But hey, I'm a sucker for a good epistolary novel. Oh, I don't know. Mina is given heavy focus the last two-thirds of the novel, moreso than Jonathan. And unlike this film, she's pretty strong willed when the chips are down and even offers to sacrifice herself to stop from turning. The added romance in the film derailed that, I think, because now she's much more conflicted and wanting to help Drac instead of being very much against him.
