Now that many of us are confined to our couches, I am noticing an increase in really bad movies. Today's clunker was "Valerian: City of a Thousand Planets," directed by Luc Besson.
Taken in chronological order, this movie is "Star Wars" meets "Blade Runner" meets "Pirates of the Caribbean" meets "Avatar." And maybe a few more. I don't think there was an original idea in it.
And it cost almost $200 million to make! Grossed only $42 mil in the United States, but made back its cost with $225 mil worldwide.
Sheesh! Why can't they show classics, like "The Deer Hunter"? You never seen that on anymore.
