With some pleasure I read the article " 20 of the Worst Action Movie Stars of All Time "read, although my French is somewhat rusty.
Quite apart from the fact that someone in a movie "starred" and not, as suggested in the article "stared" because then he would just stare yes - in the sense of rigid stare - is the bullet managed to do right.

However, there is a lot to be noted:

Brigette Neilson in "Red Sonja" Googling you just for fun "Brigette Neilson" - that suggests the search engine is " Brigitte Nielsen "before, and rightly so. My students at the vocational school regularly complain that they can therefore make their names. Sun raped as the name of the Danish ... Danish ... Actress Mrs. Plastic surgery? Fantasy, however, a rare name. She did not deserve, even if it is called acting rather than collateral damage. The movie "Red Sonja" from 1985 the way it deserves to immerse in a sink of forgetfulness. RIP. What wrote the lexicon of international cinema at the time?

A more advisable in parts badly primitive fantasy-comedy film with encores and, after all, outstanding landscapes.

After all, outstanding landscapes. Well, if that is not a predicate! Director Richard Fleischer, incidentally, "Conan the Destroyer" committed a crime, the sequel to "Conan the Barbarian". "Red Sonja" is strictly cinematic barbarism.
BTW: the acting could have been the Steiermarker Arnold Scharzenegger, now Governor of the State of California to pack well into the category of "bad action hero" can, but he probably saved himself by exactly two film appearances: The "Terminator" trilogy (the first part of the Austrians had to speak 17 sentences with 70 words - that's better) and "True Lies", not only thanks to Jamie Lee Curtis an absolutely great piece of work worth seeing.

Steve Austin in "The Condemned" Body-builders to be an actor, professional wrestler to be an actor - but we let Steve Austin's fun! The film has no one view, I report on my part, I volunteered at the first of every show, but if anyone, for any reason whatsoever, not about the spiritual sponge for absorbing films as "From A River" "Babel" or "LACrash" has, then he should just watch Steve Austin. Deaths there was in this context is not, as far as I know, and besides, everyone has his own fortune.
The worst one-liner is not so bad: "Sounds like you've had a hard life ... good thing it's over!" (Not dripping with intelligence, but not so bad.)

Corey Haim in "Prayer for the Roller Boys' About whom we expand first the mantle of oblivion from: Above the native Canadians, or about the waste of celluloid? But what about the article?

This film simply should not have been created - ever.

George Clooney in "Batman & Robin" Maybe I was drunk or had a bad phase of life, but I have not the film as really bad in memory. I think I need to watch it again, perhaps. The argument I can (quote) "Clooney is just too pretty to act in a rubber suit" not be left. Too pretty to be believable? George Clooney is handsome? And if so, Bruce Wayne was ever described as ugly? He is, after billionaire and can afford all the care lines of the earth. And each and every plastic surgeon Botox wrinkle treatment to boot.

John Cena in "The Marine": Yep, here I can talk the talk. I felt the film to 4.73 percent seen. Went on opening night, the day was rained out, fly out of the family, and I had little motivation to get up and free, - I think it was after the bike crash . No, really, plot and cast were simply indescribable. At least I had enough motivation after about 10 minutes, the remote control to pick up and switch.

Shaq in "Steel": Luster, stick to your Scheisten! Wrestlers can not act necessarily, Paris Hilton not, why Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal, one of the most gifted basketball player of all time, which then can? He plays for the Phoenix Suns, I hope I'm not biased in my judgment of his athletic prowess. I think even the sports director of Sun's good, I think. At that time, 1984, I'm in Phoenix (more precisely, in the suburb of Phoenix) went to school. Although I have to play the Suns often live *, but unfortunately not see Shaq. The film I have not seen it, but nothing missed, I think.

Martin Lawrence in "Bad Boys" movies: The movies were real cracker, but know we all of us, most buddy movies work along these lines: Two possible different characters fight together and there are (often against their will and expectation) hair-raising adventure.
Examples? Shrek & Donkey, Laurel & Hardy, Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier in "The Defiant Ones", Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy in "48 Hours" films, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis in "Thelma & Louise", Steve Martin and John Candy in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" - the list goes on and roll out until they no longer like to read. All characters on different levels - be it socially, intellectually, or of the pigmentation of her physique.
And here is the pair of Martin Lawrence and here Dingenskirchen ... Willy Schmidt. Then we just let Martin play the part of something more sedate Knalldullies - kind of like it that way. (Quote) "as Martin Lawrence was more like an annoying backseat driver than a believable cop." What I have to get to know police officers had, however, the performance of Lawrence gold standard. Objection, your honor!

Nicholas Cage in "The Rock": Maybe I was too tipsy here or was drugged, but I did not see the film as well as Cage bad. Since there is quite a different caliber, "the cage": "Next," for example, or "Ghost Rider". They're really bad. But "The Rock"?

So, that's it. I need to pursue more serious activities. With the rest of the range I'm d'accord.

Or wait a minute, Jennifer Garner ... oh no, "Elektra" was really nothing. "She may be the ultimate kick ass fan boy fantasy, but that in no means qualifies her to be an action star." But who marries Ben Affleck, who's not even deserve better and must appear in such a list. The more I think about it: In "The Kingdom" it was great.

As children's and youth book "Meg Finn and The Wish List" is listed - I have two stages of life far behind me, but, as already Erich Kästner once said: "Most people discard their childhood like an old hat. They forget it as a phone number that no longer applies. "And I carry my childhood with such an old hat, from which would not let you. And that's good!

Quite apart from this novel is one of the most readable of recent years. Eoin Colfer, a former elementary school teacher from Wexford to the Irish, author of "Artemis Fowl" series, has a terrific piece of literature scattered among mankind. A clever, astute and witty novel. Although Meg Finn in the first chapter of the book blesses the temporal, and due to the fact that she is killed by an exploding gas tank, "blessed" is perhaps not quite the right word is, the book per se, not a novel about death, but also, and just about life. (Death is a final period of your life and not a very decisive wegzudiskutierender part of it.)

Tragically, Meg is only 14 years old. Your partner in the actions of her life is pretty messed up Belch, older than her ("[...] I'm sixteen, and therefore fully responsible for my actions.") And owner of a pit bull named Raptor. As is clear from early zeimlich Meg, that is beneath the hard shell is a good core, Belch roughly the exact opposite of sensitive - and a clear candidate for hell. The way he can tread faster than expected.

And then came the big mistake. The one who did all the other mistakes that night erscheien Stümperns the downright ridiculous. It was the last error that should make the Belch ever.

What can be worse than breaking a pensioner who has a gun? This weapon to take to the old gentleman with a dog bite wound bleeding to leave his fate - and his partner Meg to shoot right in front of a rusty gas tank, which has taken from one of the shot, nothing better to do, to explode as.

The first moments as the mind are quite confusing. The mind thinks that everything is as usual, and tries to apply the laws of physics to the spirit world.

Belch, however, must also be at 16 his life and travels as a Pit Bull Belch mottled with Meg sorting through the long tunnel.

Where the hell's going, turn off the peculiar creature, but with Meg the matter is not so clear: it stands on the brink - and slams against a wall first. ("Although speed had no meaning in the spiritual world, because the rules of the kinetics were not, but it did hurt anyway.")

"Did not die at fourteen, she went through a difficult phase," but the fact of being dead, they will not pass. Dear to heaven, she thinks, imagines how she might their bad childhood with Peter Franco, the repugnant and vicious ex-spouse of a deceased parent, one can only imagine, and so credibly demonstrate gain access to heaven - but the plans of the post-mortem soul-recycling firm are somehow different.
Lights indicate what about the delinquent; Meg shines in two colors. She has too much to answer for, to be really good, but at the same time good to be really angry. Generally we think of heaven and hell stood together as bastions against implacable enmity, but with Eoin Colfer both floors communicate with state funds. When they were two divisions of the same clubs, but somehow it's that way. The hierarchical problems that intrigue and wounded vanities are already very familiar with - heaven and hell as a reflection of normal life.

To this time to take the shortcut: Peter, who has under his table a Vorhöllenknopf, struggles with his job as a bouncer ("Why had he, who was supposedly so influential and important to spend the whole time at the gates, while all the others the amenities of heaven enjoyed? ") and Jude saved from purgatory had, and Beelzebub, who hates little longer to be called as a boy, with his trident like souls vaporized by strange creatures like Myishi, the computer genius who is surrounded and his to provide Gameboy-playing boss, AKA Satan, Lucifer, the soul of Meg free house, decide to send Meg Finn because of the tie, back to Earth, where they prove themselves - or fail - to. The top executives want their souls, but also the bottom. And boy, his demon character, decides to send back the dog-man mix so that the result fails accordingly.

Who will help Meg? Ironically, Lowrie, the pensioners, the raid was the last act of her life. Lowries leg is still one of the consequences of the bite, but he would like a list of four wishes that he still execute before his own death. The requirements are as unusual as the old man, but still topped the team probably unusual since Steve Martin and John Candy in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles". The book will be on Road movie book, a television studio, the Croke Park Stadium in Dublin and the Cliffs of Moher are among other places of the event. It is kissed, played football and spat it all in a most amusing and literary level.

As the retired and the Spirit come together clear what earth-shattering discoveries, fone and how the story ends ("Peter stroked one. Few times over the beard that was worse than waiting for the lottery numbers."), You must already own . read Eoin Colfers novel is the perfect summer reading. And spring reading. All right, you read it but in the fall or winter - the main thing, do this to heart gems.

Postscript: I would caution against reading "Meg Finn and The Wish List" in public. It may seem strange to other people when you're sitting in a jam-packed subway and auflacht unexpectedly loud - and in view of the sustainability of the writing no longer get the grin off my face.
What? Whether I get money from the publisher for the book here so praising to the skies? Times would be an idea to write the publisher and propose just that, but no, I do it purely for personal reasons.
