Condorman (1981)

[Movie 152 / Day 165]


Terrible Disney movie featuring Michael Crawford (who constantly sounds like he's about to burst into full on 'Betty' mode) and Oliver Reed (who looks like he chose this movie to start drinking again).

Essentially, the CIA want to help a Russian KGB agent defect and send a comic book artist to do the job. He'll only do it if the CIA build the wacky inventions he uses in his comics.

Although I can remember seeing this at least once during my childhood, I could only remember a few bits. It's almost one of those movies that's so bad it borders on good again. But not quite - the so-bad-it's-good bits don't offset the so-bad-it's-rubbish bits.

My rating: 4.0 / 10

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)

[Movie 91 / Day 54]


Terry Gilliam fantasy about Baron Munchausen, who sets off on a voyage to gather his servants in order to save a town from invading Turks. Lots and lots of 'names' in it, lots and lots of crazy imagery (a trip to the moon in a hot air balloon to see the King of Everything, a fish the size of an island, a flying horse, etc)...

Even though it's pretty surreal, it's also fun to watch and I enjoyed it a fair amount. Except for the appearance of another abysmal Jonathan Pryce accent.

My rating: 7.1 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.0 / 10
