Bad Movie Monday: Independence Day

Since it was July 4th yesterday, I have decided to pay tribute to a horrible Summer blockbuster. Independence Day tries to make an alien invasion of Earth as boring as possible with a cast of cardboard characters and it succeeds. Why is Harvey Fierstein in this film? Every word out of his mouth is annoying as all hell.

Highlights: Will Smith kicks some alien ass. Randy Quaid sacrafices his life for the good of the world. Bill Pullman is a forgettable President. Judd Hirsch proves that he is still alive. Jeff Goldblum plays Jeff Goldblum the scientist. Robert Loggia is a sack of skin in a military outfit. The aliens look like rubber squid people. The White House gets blowed up!

Best Line: “I’m just a little anxious to get up there and whoop E.T.’s ass.”
