They turn a profit, though...that enables him to keep swinging the bat, and one of these days he's gonna hit a legitimate home run.
      Resident Evil wouldn't be AS BAD if it wasn't called RESIDENT EVIL. The fact that Romero had a badass script (that was dead on in regards to the games) that wasn't used was a huge let down. AVP sucks IMO. AvPR was streets ahead.

      I don't get the Event love either.

        Actually, he's got his own niche, even if it isn't something artistically outstanding.

        He can make competently shot films, can direct actors competently (seriously, getting Drunkie Chan to speaka English AND wrangling Chris Tucker can't be easy), and even knows how to shoot tense moments (Red Dragon's finale was well composed if nothing else).

        Give him some credit. Just because fanboys piss on him for trollish reasons, he's got chops and knows his market. He's one of the better new(ish) journeyman directors out there.

        Never say never in that business. Zemeckis used to direct people for chrissake.

            Rob Cohen. I don't know how he did it, but Mr. Mediocrity himself absolutely ACED 'The Fast and the Furious'.

            Kevin Reynolds. The same thing with 'The Count of Monte Cristo'.

            Nobody sets out to pull a PRODUCERS and make a shitty movie. Some don't care about the quality, they just want to turn a profit...fine, but they don't make a shitty movie on purpose. You keep trying, you keep honing your craft, and hopefully the stars align in such a way that everything goes RIGHT. When that happens, even the most mediocre of people can achieve greatness. I mean, look at Ed!

                      Yep, Stephen Herek. That's arguably HIS masterpiece. It didn't do much for me, but I know a bunch of people that absolutely love that film.

                                Dreyfus has such a layered performance. Because he starts young and then he's old at the end! With no hair to visually convey the complexity of said performance!
