...vast majority of filmgoers flocking to theaters this winter to experience the promised eye-raping of “Avatar” likely have not experienced the utter shittiness of James Cameron??s feature-length directorial debut, the delightfully ridiculous horror sequel “Piranha II: The Spawning.” For just a taste of the madness, head to Wikipedia and check out the film’s Italian poster. Yep, those are flying predatory fish chasing down voluptuous beachgoers...

He also studied planet formation and the physics of planets and their atmospheres. In 1976, Cameron challenged contemporary beliefs with...
Coppola’s One from the Heart, a notoriously out-of-control production, is experiencing a minor revival, even though it’s a poorly acted, badly scripted snorefest with a few beautiful images – just like everyone thought upon its release. Cameron??s perfectionism is heralded as genius; Scorsese’s drug addiction becomes inspiration as some try to rescue the nightmarishly bad New York, New York; Peckinpah’s ridiculous outbursts are justified as “personal demons”—the list goes...
