Hollow Man

Watched "Hollow Man" last night. Or part of it. It's really a terrible movie. A genius scientist (Kevin Bacon) creates a drug that makes mammals invisible. When he runs short on funding, he decides to try it on himself. What would be the purpose of this amazing invisibility, anyway? Apparently, for the brilliant Dr. Whozit, it's being able to molest women and get away with it. Nice. This is just an old B horror movie with a lot of glitter. Yeah, the effects are cool, but since it's a Paul Verhoeven movie there's also a lot of nudity because he's "cutting edge." I turned it off after Kevin Bacon's character kills the dog. It was worse than "Starship Troopers."
