I'm a huge fan of bad movies, but this one was almost too much.

1999.

Dennis Rodman.

Dane Cook.

Dennis Rodman is an ex-CIA agent (or possibly an active CIA agent, that point was never clear) who is stationed in a foreign country. Dennis (Simon Sez) is aided by two Catholic monks: Macro a skinny black monk and Micro, an obese white monk. As you might guess from their names, they are obsessed with technology. The movie includes several terrible fight scenes, one results in sex between Dennis Rodman and the mandatory love interest.

One of my favorite scenes was when the obese monk was falling off of a bridge and held onto the railing. When the camera was at a distance, the monk was clearly thin, but up close he was once again obese. A running gag was to show Micro eating or talking about food in almost every scene he was in.

Dane Cook confirmed my low opinion of his acting and comedy skills. When fighting, he would apparently go insane...in his first fight scene he literally did a dinosaur impression while he had the upper hand, which caused his opponent to knock him out and get away. During every single fight scene his behavior was so erratic that I was left wondering if his character was supposed to be insane, all the while knowing that someone, somewhere had thought that the script was funny.

I DVR'd "House of the Dead" and watched it...twice. In Italy, some people enjoy Casu Marzu, which is a cheese filled with live maggots. If too much Casu Marzu is eaten at one time, they can cause serious damage or death by burrowing into and eating the intestines. For me, watching bad movies is like eating Casu Marzu. I know it's bad for me, but I can't help it.

BTW, House of the Dead really does rock. Stupid plot, horrible acting, terrible dialog. It's almost as good as Alone in the Dark. My favorite scene is when these teenage ravers get a bunch of firearms and grenades and then fight like special forces soldiers...okay...Forrest Gump if he was in the special forces. But they fight much better than a group of drug, music and sex obsessed college students could possibly do. Each one gets a little scene when he/she walks in slow motion through the graveyard killing various zombies with absolute precision. For a moment each one would stop and the camera would do a 360 to show you how awesome they looked with their weapons.
