Hauntingsoul-survivors-20012001This is essentially The Sixth Sense rehashed as a teen horror film and conducted without any finesse - you can see the twist ending coming miles in advance
Jules Verne Comedy Adaptationaround-the-world-in-80-days-20042004Jules Verne’s classic adventure novel is turned into a comedy vehicle for Jackie Chan. One of Chan’s biggest flops, an overblown turkey packed with celebrity cameos and replacing Verne’s adventure with incredibly unfunny slapstick
