Joel Schumacher, this is for you


Okay, I feel a little bad about Bashing Joel Schumacher. He was a good writer and director back in the day. He wrote the excellent cult classic Car Wash. He helped write a strange take on Oz called the The Wiz.

I feel that somewhere along the way he lost his edge and gave in to money. He started to play it safe. It happens to many people, such as Lucas. One of the things that humbles us is our failures, such his Batman and Robin movie. It knocks us back down to our basic levels, because sometimes we forget where we came from and how hard we worked to get to the top.

Here is a list of his good movies and bad ones.

Good Movies

The Lost Boys, Flatliners, Falling Down, A Time to Kill, 8MM, Phone Booth

Bad movies

The Phantom of the Opera, Bad Company, Batman & Robin, D.C. Cab (yes the movie with Mr. T)
