Hate Watching with Dan and Tony

Send us Fan Mail We did not like Venom and we also did not like Venom 2. There is a good concept buried in this mess but they never figured it out. Tom Hardy was once again terrible which is sad because he can be so good. I'd say more but this movie is so forgettable, you retain nothing.... Hate Watching is the Show that takes it on the chin one more time. #Venom #TomHardy #MichelleWIlliams #...

Send us Fan Mail This one is a stinker from top to bottom. Bad plot, bad acting, bad writing, bad costumes, bad reworking of the character, bad time had by anyone that has to sit through this. Halle Berry is very attractive but that is about all this movie had going for it. Hate Watching with Dan and Tony is the show the dares to be daring #catwoman #HalleBerry #comicbookmovie Goonies. There I sai...

Send us Fan Mail We are huge fans of Mike Mignola & Hellboy so we were hoping this movie was gonna be better. Sadly it does not measure up to the first two movies. They tried to cram too much into this one and nothing got the time it needed to really work. Hate Watching is the show that minds it's P's & Q's #hellboy #comicmovies #DavidHarbour #CatWolf #CGI It's a magica...

Send us Fan Mail Dark Shadows is another movie in the descent of Tim Burton. This movie lives somewhere between homage and parody and it fails at both. Not funny, not suspenseful, not melodramatic, not interesting but nice looking. And Johnny Depp with pale skin and weird hair. Hate Watching is the show that talks about writing and acting. #DarkShadows #JDeppster #TBurt #Slapstick #GothicFun #macr...

Send us Fan Mail Ender's Game is one of those movies that most people will just sort of write off as nothing much. But to uber-fans of the book (like Tony), this film is a travesty of the highest proportions. So in this episode you get to enjoy the pain of Tony as he has to rewatch the movie that destroyed his favorite childhood book. You're welcome. Hate Watching is the show that is an...

Send us Fan Mail This movie is about 2 1/2 hours too long and not surprisingly it is 2 1/2 hours long. Gore Verbinsky wowed us with the first Pirates movie and it has been downhill since then. Look for Armie Hammer being charmless and forgettable. Look for Johnny Depp as Tonto in a role that might just be his most embarrassing (go check out his latest fragrance commercial to see how he has become...

Send us Fan Mail The best thing about this movie is how short it is.  Still it feels long. Brendan Fraser who had been on a good streak, struck out hard with this one. Sarah Jessica Parker is in the movie and that is the nicest thing you can say about her. Alfred Molina is the villain and his plot is more convoluted than a Christopher Nolan movie (and just as lame). So not much to see here. Hate W...

Send us Fan Mail Is David Lynch's Dune bad? No, it is more of a mess and that is not entirely his fault. It feels more like a small weird movie in a big room rather than an epic movie that is about a world. But now we have the new Dune and this movie gets to be just a strange little amalgam of odd things that David Lynch enjoyed. And there is the milk the cat scene. So yea! Hate Watching is t...

Send us Fan Mail Well we are finishing up October in full slasher mode with Jason X - where he goes to the future and to outer space and becomes part robot.  It's a lot. There are also space marines and a bunch of hot twenty something girls to die. It's not the worst. We also find out Tony doesn't want a horror movie to be scary, he just wants to laugh as people are killed in funny...

Send us Fan Mail Ernest was one of those things that no one could have predicted, an ad pitch character taking the world by storm and then ending up making kids movies. It is a great story but sadly the movies are not great themselves.  This iteration was their attempt at a Halloween movie. It ends up being just a bunch of disjointed bits that never fit together and causes your head to hurt. C&apo...

Send us Fan Mail This movie is so forgettable I don't really have much to say about it (except the hour + long video we made). Hate Watching is the show that is like Roger Ebert but 10 years too late. #DeniseRichards #DavidBoreanez #Valentine #Slasher #HorrorFilms Usually I talk about something fun here. I had bad dreams last night so I'm spent. Be our friend! Dan: @shakybacon Tony: @ton...

Send us Fan Mail Everyone knows the tragic story of Bruce Lee's son Brandon dying during the production of the first Crow movie. Well the even sadder news was they kept making Crow movies and boy did they end up being terrible. This one stars Edward Furlong, stars might be stretching the term, he is the guy that stands in front of the camera and delivers the lines that are attributed to the c...

Send us Fan Mail The movie they tried to make for 10+ years finally got made and it is as expected...underwhelming. The stars are weak, the comedy is painful, the monsters are MIA and Jeremy Irons is out of his mind. There are a few little nice things but overall the fans must wait a little longer for D&D to get a decent shot on the big screen. Be our friend! Dan: @shakybacon Tony: @tonydczech...

Send us Fan Mail Willow is the movie you make if you can't get the rights to Lord of the Rings and want to try to make something similar. And also you know of want to make it a kids movie. And you hire Ron Howard. And want to pretty much ruin Val Kilmer's hopes of being an A-list movie star. And you want to create the most forgettable villain of all time. This movie has a lot going on. O...

Send us Fan Mail Tony loves the first Suicide Squad movie and is angry that everyone hates it and loves the new one. The truth is that they both have a lot of problems and the second one is gonna be beloved by a certain audience and everyone is gonna hate on the first one forever. So Tonys dream of the first one getting some love is never gonna happen. PS - John Cena = Hilarious. Hate Watching is...

Send us Fan Mail Tom Cruise is a movie star and that affords him a lot of power to make terrible movies.  And with the Mummy he did it all, ruined the script, hired a bad director and cooked up one of the worst monster movies of all time.  Good job Tom. Oh yeah and this was supposed to usher in Universal's Dark Universe - Haha that didn't happen. (PS do your self a favor and go watch the...

Send us Fan Mail There is a goat that lives in Hollywood that is called the Hollywood Goat.  We talk about how this movie is less interesting than this goat.  And we try to figure out what happened with Pedro Pascal. We unpack it all in this episode. Hate Watching is the show where it all comes out in the end. #mattDamon #pedroPascal #theGreatWall #China #CGImonsters #MagnetPower My wife loves soc...

Send us Fan Mail This is the movie that answers the question What happened after the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. It also answers the questions Did Hansel get diabetes from all the candy and did he invent insulin. So it's a weird one.  The final witch battle definitely goes in an Army of Darkness direction but it does not make up for a lackluster first hour. Hate Watching is the show that da...

Send us Fan Mail Nobody expected this movie to be good.  Guess what they were right.  No Bill Murray means that this movie is just automatically worse than the first one.  I love Don Cheadle but whoa, his character is rough.  Plus it is a giant corporate shill of a movie. Now is the part where I could say some nice stuff.....(insert cricket sounds). Oh yeah and Porky Pig raps..... Hate Watching is...

Send us Fan Mail The Ghost in the Shell anime was incredibly influential on the movies that came after it.  Sadly this movie is just a pale version of the original and the ideas seem stale because we've been dealing with them for 20 years. Oh well. Hate Watching is a show about an hour long. #GhostintheShell #anime #ScarJo #SpiderTank Will we ever be robots?  Will we ever have enhancements? ...

Send us Fan Mail I had forgotten we had watched this movie. And now I have to remember that we did. I don't have to tell you that it is not a good movie. They sort of take some elements from the cartoon but they don't really go anywhere. And the poor guy that played Spike in Buffy is the villain but you know he was happy that the makeup made him unrecognizable.  Emmy Rossum is in here to...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when you make a movie that lacks all the charm, humor and heart of one of the greatest television series of all time? You end up with this confusing pile of junk.  Some things are better left alone or maybe just let the creators do a new tv series (oh yeah they did that and made Korra which was wonderful). I root for M Night but this movie just didn't have a chan...

Send us Fan Mail Battleship is one of those games that you play when you are a kid to pass the time. Then you get older and you stop playing and either you have a real life or you start playing D&D. Well this movie might appeal to the kid that loves playing a game like Battleship but if you are an adult get ready to not care...... Hate Watching is the show where we go where no one wishes to go...

Send us Fan Mail Jonah Hex is a comic that even comic book people try to forget. So why make a movie of it?  That is a question that will never be answered. And they didn't even get the character right. Josh Brolin tries and John Malkovich does some stuff which is better forgotten. Oh yeah and Megan Fox is in this mess too. Hate Watching the Show - a show with hate in the name #comicmovie Wel...

Send us Fan Mail It took a long time to get this Independence Day sequel and that time was not spent well.  This movie not surprisingly just sort of rehashes the old movies beats but with a new cast that just can't pull it off.  Will Smith rose to stardom based on the first film but don't expect that of this cast. Hate Watching is a show that runs over the hour but with the comedy of a s...
