Best of the Rest
Each week on Best of the Rest we take a second look at a movie that was poorly received upon release, but challenge ourselves to only talk about what the movie does well. Maybe not every movie is great, but all movies have GREATNESS!

Just a few years after the massive success of Jurassic Park, another Michael Crichton sci-fi disaster novel was adapted. Unfortunately, the legacy of Sphere is far inferior to the dinosaur movie. But this week we're celebrating the mostly forgotten underwater thriller, with its great cast and thrilling and creative use of the unknown and the unseen.

The massively popular video game series finally got its very faithful movie adaptation in 2016. Unfortunately for the fans, the movie failed to bring in enough at the box office to greenlight a sequel. This week we revisit this one off effort and determine what it got right! We also ponder the finer differences between orcs and ogres.

While not too technically impressive by today's standards, the photorealistic animation in FINAL FANTASY was groundbreaking in 2001. Despite praise for its visuals, the movie failed to find its audience, even among fans of the video game franchise. This week we revisit the film to find everything it does right, and see what managed to age well.

The latest Mortal Kombat adaptation tried to distance itself from previous films with a darker, bloodier tone. The result received a mixed reception from fans and critics alike, but this week we just want to talk about what we like! Did you know Sub-Zero makes a blade out of Scorpion's blood? Because Sub-Zero makes a blade out of Scorpion's blood.

We're kicking off our third video games month with one of the most notorious adaptations: 2005's DOOM starring The Rock and Karl Urban. Sure, it takes plenty of liberties with the source material, but there's still some positives to be had... right?

At the peak of their popularity, The Monkees released their only feature film. Virtually no one saw it. Perhaps it was because the movie was a deliberate subversion of their popular show, or maybe it was due to a bizarre marketing strategy, but this week all we care about is what the movie did well. Hey hey, it's the Hashtag PP.

Sure, a movie about a 25 year old band didn't resonate with kids in 1999, but now that KISS is 50 years past their prime, does the movie hold up? We found plenty to enjoy!

The first Captain America movie without Steve Rogers became the lowest rated MCU film on Rotten Tomatoes. This week we're taking a second look at a movie that is at once a sequel to an Avengers movie, a TV show, and a 17 year old Hulk movie that everyone forgot about and we're finding everything it does well!

Following the conclusion of the Infinity Saga, the MCU began to go through some growing pains, with audiences and critics beginning to feel the quality wasn't consistent as it once was, and that there was perhaps too much content to keep up with. The Marvels found itself in the crosshairs of these issues and more, resulting in a lackluster box office return. But this week we take a second look at everything this movie does wel...
Sony's Spider-Man-less experiment came to an end with the release of Kraven The Hunter. The movie had bad buzz well before its release, and the box office reflected this. But this week we take a second look to find what the movie does well. If anything.

Multiplicity is a comedy that stars not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Michael Keatons and it somehow flopped at the box office. This week we revisit this sci-fi comedy to find everything it does well, including some truly stunning visual effects.
