RavenGlamDVDCollector's Acquisitions Chart (4) Reject Bin
About this list: The original used to be on my cellphone. Deleted by factory reset. A back-up version on another cellphone. Because I e-mailed my memo pad in a last ditch effort to save my info, but it went through as a truncated call, so It is not in the same class, with lots of names after the cut-off point, somewhere in the Ts, lost. Hopefully such a disaster will now never happen again. Yeah, until I lose my e-mail address and have to re-register at IMDb, perish the thought.
No Reject will be an official ~REJECT~ without a proper cause duly given in a memorable way. SInce info was lost, all Rejects are granted to be re-evaluated. Some titles get a less damning indictment stamped across their entry here, depending on merit. For all placed on this list prior to November 2016, without any ~~ slash, movie is still being researched again.
take note:
Filed under their IMDb title if I know them first and foremost by another name, e.g. your KILLER WORKOUT will always be AEROBICIDE to me.
Several movies couldn't be found for inclusion on this list:
ABDUCTION OF AN AMERICAN PLAYGIRL, tt3385622, could not be added, the search function here couldn't find it, neither could its relation WINTER HEAT, tt0129623, be located here, so they get their blacklisting right here.
THE BEAUTIFUL BEAST, tt3214448 is another, and something called COMIC COSPLAY THE MOVIE which I'm beginning to think is not a real movie at all.

- DirectorBurr SteersStarsZac EfronMatthew PerryLeslie MannMike O'Donnell is ungrateful for how his life turned out. He gets a chance to rewrite his life when he tried to save a janitor near a bridge and jumped after him into a time vortex.This one needs attention, it's been buried here ever since I checked out on Wikipedia's plotline that Michelle Trachtenberg's part sounds way minor. Admittedly, that was pretty shallow research.
- CreatorWhitney CummingsMichael Patrick KingStarsKat DenningsBeth BehrsGarrett MorrisTwo young women waitressing at a greasy spoon diner strike up an unlikely friendship in the hopes of launching a successful business - if only they can raise the cash.This name kept popping up everywhere, and I thought, sounds like my kinda thing. Then one day researched on IMDb, and found so many reviewers who despised it, I am convinced I should just back off. The characters sound kinda common, and lots of people describe it as what boils down to crude humour that isn't funny at all.
- DirectorElliott LesterStarsJohn Patrick AmedoriLizzy CaplanD.J. CotronaScholarship student Jonah struggles considerably to make friends at his wealthy private school. As graduation draws near, Jonah grows infatuated with Sara Weller, a wealthy drug user and part of an elite social group at school.ADDICTED TO HER LOVE to me. Although my fascination with it was very short-lived.
Stumbled across ADDICTED TO HER LOVE on a seller site, the image looked promising, I thought it was gonna be one of those big must-haves, then, curious, downloaded the trailer. And was real bummed. - DirectorDavid A. PriorStarsMarcia KarrDavid CampbellFritz MatthewsTwo years ago, a young woman named Valerie was burned after entering a tanning salon. Now, her twin sister, Rhonda, runs a local gym where, all of a sudden, people are being murdered.~REJECTED~
AEROBICIDE to me. Am I the only guy who can spell that?
This picture is the epitome of low-class taste, and I'm ashamed of it ever having crossed my path. It is beneath contempt. Yet I will keep the little download-to-DVD disc I had somebody make for me, not that I would watch the poor quality shoddy results ever again, 'cause this movie is, like, the pits, just in case I haven't mentioned yet, but I suppose I have. Just one more thing: Avoid it like the plague. And girlfriends, find this s*** as a treasured possession at your boyfriend's place, dump him, the dumb goof! - DirectorFrédéric FonteyneStarsNathalie BayeSergi LópezJacques VialaA woman puts an ad in a magazine looking for a man to fulfill her fantasy of a stringless, anonymous pornographic affair.AN AFFAIR OF LOVE.
- DirectorCharles ShyerStarsHilary SwankSimon BakerJonathan PryceIn pre-Revolutionary France, a young aristocratic woman left penniless by the political unrest in the country must avenge her family's fall from grace by scheming to steal a priceless necklace.Well remember my original comment. “Hilary looks weird on the poster. Trust your instincts.” The image here is even worse, looks like a grim old beast, no, I don't want to see Hilary like this. Okay, I know nothing about this movie, but I instantly back off.
- DirectorPedro AlmodóvarStarsCecilia RothMarisa ParedesCandela PeñaA comedy-drama about a bereaved mother, and overwrought actress, her jealous lover, and a pregnant nun.
- DirectorAlex SichelStarsAlison FollandTara SubkoffCole HauserClaude and Ellen are best friends who live in a not-so-nice area of New York. They're involved in the subculture of '90s youth, complete with drugs, live music, and homophobia. All is changed one night when a violent, meaningless death rocks their lives.
- DirectorJulie DavisStarsDan BucatinskyRichard RuccoloSasha AlexanderWhile the flame of Jackie and Brett's attraction intensifies, Eli and Tom, the unlikely pair they attempt to bring together, appear destined to spiral out of love rather than make any sort of progress toward becoming a genuine couple.
- DirectorJoe DanteCarl GottliebPeter HortonStarsRosanna ArquetteMichelle PfeifferArsenio HallA spoof of low budget 1950s science-fiction movies, interspersed with various comedy sketches and fake commercials making fun of late-night television.Yeah, I'd want to see that bit with Michelle Pfeiffer that I've only read about, and the bit that I have downloaded with Rosanna Arquette, that's good, but from what's further on the menu, give this one a wide berth.
{renewed interest in Monique Gabrielle has put this on the forefront again, UK import @ R300 placed on Wish List, there are others that are more expensive, to ludicrous proportions, 2017/01/21, 8:05:36 PM}
Beware of self-censored version, Monique Gabrielle is supposed to be nude on escalator.
Price: R300, UK Import, 2017/01/21, 8:07:54 PM - DirectorR. Michael GivensStarsJames BrolinCarlos BernardDilanaScottie's life changes when she inherits a bar in South Carolina, an exciting rock n roll, emotional adventure about the will of a woman and her brother who find the strength to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.After QUEEN OF SWORDS, wanted more Tessie Santiago, but definitely not this...
- DirectorJean-Claude BrisseauStarsCarole BranaArnaud BinardNadia ChibaniA sexually unsatisfied young woman decided to pursue various sexual experiments and scenarios.Some French movie with a nice leggy black & white poster that looked just like a pantyhose ad, I'm a sucker for such things, but if I remember correctly, one version of available DVD didn't have that image, only the exorbitantly expensive one... I will have to find out. It's not about the movie itself at all. So I would be setting myself up for a fall.
{immediately after pondering about how this French title should be alphabetized, searched for this at Raru, R345 for the 'pantyhose ad' version, at least not as bad as when I first encountered it at nasty shark WantItAll, and cheaper versions available, but I am all about the 'pantyhose ad' so that will have to be it, movie now goes to Research List, 2016/11/30, 8:15:52 AM} - DirectorDamian HarrisStarsEllen BarkinLaurence FishburneFrank LangellaNelson Crowe is a CIA operative under the thumb of the Company for a disputed delivery of $50,000 in gold. They blackmail him into working for the Grimes Organization, which is set up as a private company for hire, to blackmail prominent individuals. Crowe, working with Margaret Wells (another former Covert Operations operative), blackmails and bribes a State Supreme Court judge, but the deal sours. One of Crowe's co-workers, Tod Stapp, discovers Crowe's current CIA involvement in a plot to overthrow Grimes, and blackmails him to be cut in on the deal. More blackmail occurs as Wells manipulates Crowe to kill Grimes, then the CIA uses that discovery to blackmail Wells into killing Crowe. Who can you trust???
- DirectorKim Ki-dukStarsCho Jae-hyunWon SeoKim Yun-taeAn unfeeling gangster seeks to ruin the life of a young girl who rejected him. He forces her into prostitution and spies on her regularly, then he soon begins to fall for her.Okay, so it was the image shown here that drew me in, but I wouldn't go for a Korean movie.
- DirectorBob RafelsonStarsDebra WingerTheresa RussellSami FreyA federal investigator tracks down a gold-digging woman who moves from husband to husband to kill them and collect the inheritance.~REJECTED~
The trailer was downloaded some months ago, and instantly deleted. Looked so boring, nothing exciting about it. Specific detail now lost, but it is very well remembered how dreary it looked. - DirectorHugh WilsonStarsBrendan FraserAlicia SilverstoneChristopher WalkenA naive man comes out into the world after spending 35 years in a nuclear fallout shelter.Alicia Silverstone caused me to look into this one, but it sure looks bad.
- DirectorTimothy BondStarsBilly ZaneEstella WarrenJane WheelerA middle aged music composer finds himself trapped in the seductive web of a young, sexy vocalist who is looking for her own fifteen seconds of fame. Mikey Taylor, once the very popular lead singer of the hot rock and roll group, THE SAINTS , lived a life of sex, drugs and rock and roll, until he met JOYCE, a real estate broker, now his wife of ten years. Joyce was instrumental in sobering Mike up through various rehabs, and always supportive, but then the real estate market took a dive, and Mike had to go back to writing songs for a new record album deal with his former partners STANLEY and DICKIE. Mikey, now known as MIKE TAYLOR, is in the Studio waiting to lay down the new tracks, when MATTY MCPHERSON, strikingly young and beautiful, introduces herself as the new demo singer. As she begins to sing, there is an immediate attraction between Mike and Matty, who is not only gorgeous and young, but a brilliant artist. Matty follows Mike back to his hotel and seduces him, which is reminiscent of his exciting "groupie" rock and roll days. He immediately becomes smitten with the very young and beautiful Matty, but tells himself this affair will pass as soon as the album is finished. The problem is, Mike can not finish the album without Matty, who truly inspires him, but who also leads him back down the road of destruction by encouraging him to relive his days of alcohol, drugs and sex abuse. Matty tells Mike she is his new addiction and convinces him he cannot succeed without her. As weeks go by, Mike is filled with the expected guilt of a cheating husband, but the more he tries to get away from Matty, the more she tempts him back with a new song she has written. To celebrate, she offers more booze, drugs and erotic sex; taking Mike deeper into the dark side: closer to Matty but further from Joyce. Mike's friends encourage him to go to the police, citing she is a stalker who is out to destroy him, but when he tries, the police take Matty's side, who convinces the police she is pregnant with Mike's child. To retaliate Matty kidnaps Joyce, and invites Mike to "save Joyce, or succumb to me". Will Mike be able to save Joyce from the evil web of Matty, or succumb to his addiction as he has so many times before with the beautiful Matty?Research on Estella Warren led to this name, and I thought I was onto something, but the more I found out, the less I wanted anything to do with it.
- DirectorGilbert AdlerStarsDennis MillerErika EleniakAngie EverhartThe Crypt Keeper returns to tell the story of a funeral parlor that moonlights as a vampire bordello.Though the image here is enough to make me research it again!
- DirectorDon RoosStarsBen AffleckGwyneth PaltrowNatasha HenstridgeA man switches plane tickets with another man who dies in that plane in a crash. The man falls in love with the deceased one's wife.Is on the Research File, anyway. But for it to be here, I must have found something incriminating against it. Look at those two top female cast members though.

Colonel Andrew Case arranges to have Helen's husband travel on base business so that he can force Helen to be his new plaything. Helen fights back.MELROSE PLACE's Courtney Thorne-Smith.

- DirectorDennis HopperStarsTom BerengerErika EleniakWilliam McNamaraA hapless Navy sailor is assigned SP duty. The catch: he must escort a beautiful female prisoner on her way to prison for going UA. She in turn will try anything to escape.Surprisingly, I am not an Erika Elleniak fan. In BAYWATCH, she often looked like she wanted to be someplace else. What I've managed to download here, I think it was a trailer, whatever it was, long since deleted, it did not change my opinion.
- DirectorFinn TaylorStarsRobin TunneyTim Blake NelsonBrad HuntAfter a martini-induced rampage, a fantasy-prone young woman is placed under house arrest.How unkinky, that ol' thing around her ankle. Not that I've ever seen any of it.
- DirectorSteve De JarnattStarsMelanie GriffithDavid AndrewsPamela GidleyIn 2017, a successful businessman travels to the ends of the earth to find that the perfect woman is always under his nose. He hires a sexy renegade tracker to find an exact duplicate of his android wife.Melanie Griffith is not my idea of a leading lady. I say that one very, very coldly.

- DirectorBozidar 'Bota' NikolicStarsGuy BoydBrad PittCheryl PollakTraveling in search of a cure for a rare skin disease, a man finds freedom and love along the way.Cheryl Pollak is in here. For Cheryl Pollak, I might still do it. I can't quite remember what made me finally reject it originally, so, it will just have to be researched again, and everything duly noted.
- DirectorRalph ThomasStarsRichard JohnsonElke SommerSylva KoscinaBritish agent Bulldog Drummond is assigned to stop a master criminal who uses beautiful women to do his killings.The image of the box cover here looks cute. This was researched fairly recently, but I've already forgotten, but being a late addition to this list, I still have the original notes:

He drives to New Jersey for his first date, but is too shy to approach the girl. His second date lives in Florida, so he takes a vacation to go there.

Instead, he accidentally meets Irene, an older woman with big artificial breasts. She invites Dave to her place, and seduces him. They have an intense sexual encounter, which devastates Dave and causes him to question life itself.Sounds like an utter waste of time, and that's coming from a certified foot fetishist myself.

- DirectorNiels Arden OplevStarsMichael NyqvistNoomi RapaceEwa FrölingA journalist is aided by a young female hacker in his search for the killer of a woman who has been dead for forty years.The 2011 version already wasted my time. And I would buy this, in Swedish?

Things get deadly.When I encountered this name a couple years ago, must have been 2014, I really thought it sounded like typical RavenGlamDVDCollector fare. Downloaded trailer proved otherwise. To this day though, it feels to me as if I should have bought it.
- DirectorMatthew PatrickStarsGary BuseyMimi RogersMichael McKeanA deranged man hides in the attic of a new house and becomes obsessed with the unsuspecting family that moves in.
- DirectorPedro AlmodóvarStarsVictoria AbrilMarisa ParedesMiguel BoséA singer returns after 15 years abroad to perform in Madrid and finds her 27 y.o. daughter married to one of her mom's ex-lovers.Pedro's take on the subject differs vastly from mine. No, nothing matronly. Who wants that? Okay, there might be more to it than the downloaded bit I saw.

After watching CALIFORNICATION episode 7.02 today, Googled Heather Graham, and was inspired to give LICENSE TO DRIVE, vaguely remembered, a shot at R102. Downloaded trailer just to make sure, 'cause this movie is a contender for raspberry-type awards. Gee, good thing I did. This movie's trailer, the warnings come zipping up like white lines down the middle of the road coming at you at 150 km/h, so put your foot down on the accelerator in the opposite direction away from this car wreck, for even the prospect of 'young Heather Graham' is not a good idea, she's made a fool of. Yes, this trailer inspired the immediate creation of this list. - DirectorLou AntonioStarsJaclyn SmithBen GazzaraNick MancusoA wife discovers that her husband is not only the prime suspects in a call-girl murder case but is also being blackmailed.

- DirectorDiane KurysStarsPeter CoyoteGreta ScacchiJamie Lee CurtisAn American film-star and an unknown British actress meet on set in Rome. She is angry when he refuses to speak to her journalist father, but later they have a passionate relationship.A MAN IN LOVE. The romantic scene pictured here looks very attractive. Better research this again. But something must be heinously wrong if I rejected it once.
- DirectorIvan ReitmanStarsBill MurrayHarvey AtkinKate LynchWacky hijinks of counselors and campers at a less-than-average summer camp.I remember the poster. Not the silly thing here. I remember it as quite BAYWATCHy, long before BAYWATCH of course. Saw this movie back in the day. But when I took a refresher course lady year or so, and downloaded a bit, a bunch of inane boys, hell, I chucked it into the Reject Bin. There had to have been something worthwhile to it though.

Everything goes as planned until she falls in love with him.While I am not an Angelina fan, she has excited millions, and there has got to be something more to this than my research showed.

- DirectorGeorge KaczenderStarsDavid BirneySeason HubleySuzanne SnyderA detective tries to track down a serial killer who is murdering prostitutes while at the same time having to deal with his girlfriend's mental problems, which are gradually deteriorating into a split personality.Those legs on the image here look all too enticing.

- DirectorRussell MulcahyStarsDenzel WashingtonJohn LithgowIce-TA District Attorney is terrorized by the criminal he put away years ago when he was a cop.It is clearly remembered that there is a scene in this movie I was fond of. It can safely be assumed that it is a nude scene. It's exact nature is forgotten. And the rest of the movie I wouldn't even want to watch.
The scene, or rather then, the idea of it, is very intriguing, but it might not even really be worth it. - CreatorJanet TamaroStarsAngie HarmonSasha AlexanderJordan BridgesDetective Jane Rizzoli and Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Maura Isles team up to solve crimes in Boston.Both too old already.

- DirectorPier Paolo PasoliniStarsPaolo BonacelliGiorgio CataldiUberto Paolo QuintavalleIn World War II Italy, four fascist libertines round up nine adolescent boys and girls and subject them to 120 days of physical, mental, and sexual torture.This is a movie that is hardly likely to be contained in the Reject Bin. An interest has resurfaced since seeing prone figures in SLEEPING BEAUTY. It is currently on the Wish List at Raru, twice, for the more easily affordable version doesn't have the attractive cover shown here. The desired one is a bit of a bite.
This movie features objectionable close-ups of the scatological kind. The debasement of humanity lies in the theme. It is considered to be the worst of its kind. It is unlikely to be any real fun to watch. It might well turn out to be something I hate. Yet, I have to see it.
Exactly what caused me to reject it, is forgotten. It's notoriety will keep fueling it in my mind.
It actually belongs on the Research List now, but its presence here serves to remind that I once did the right thing, I'm almost sure of that. - DirectorBrian BroughStarsAshley WilliamsMarla SokoloffNick ZanoTwo sisters find that they have to make their own way in the world after their father is jailed.

HuntStarsLee MarvinRoger MooreBarbara ParkinsDuring World War I, a British aristocrat, an American entrepreneur, and the latter's attractive young daughter, set out to destroy a German battlecruiser, which is awaiting repairs in an inlet just off Zanzibar.~REJECTED~
I saw it a very long time ago, back when it was new. It is quite disconcerting to see how slow and dated this looks in the trailer, and worst of all, the heroine looks old too. She needed to be attractively styled. - DirectorPhillip NoyceStarsSharon StoneWilliam BaldwinTom BerengerA woman moves into an exclusive New York City apartment building that she soon discovers houses tenants with all manner of shocking secrets.~ON PERMANENT HESITATION~
Of course I saw it back then. But it was no big hit with me.

This movie is sure to be extremely fast-paced, and sure I'd watch it, but it was placed on this list for a reason which now escapes me.
