[2] This movie is just too silly and disjointed for me. I hate it and I always have. It’s a boring, cheap, un-inventive waste of time and talent. I truly don’t get its appeal.

[9] David Cronenberg’s remake of The Fly is still the most fowl and disgusting film I have ever seen. It just about makes me barf every time I see it, and I love that. Jeff Goldblum plays an inventor who creates teleportation pods. After he uses himself as a test subject, strange things start happening to old Jeffy. Course hairs grow out of a wound …
