Mars Attacks! (1996)

Mars Attacks!, a play on the science fiction movies made in the 50s (I think) might have been good had it been funny. It also might have been good had it been scary. Too bad it's just plain dull.

...The Departed (2006)

The Departed is much ado about a micro processor that will blow a missile up a camel's ass. A lot of well-received actors earn their paychecks but it's been done before and done better. Director Martin Scorcese won the Academy Award, et. al. for this film but it was most likely for his long and prestigious career and not this standard cop movie with way too many Boston accents per screen time.
