Passchendaele 2008, Unrated)
Passchendaele is one of the worst films I have ever seen. This film is terrible. The film starts off well enough, but ends up being long and boring. This is a terrific example of how not to do a war film. This film probably has about 15 minutes of actual combat fighting. Nothing more. The acting, and script is terrible. I can't believe that some people think that this is a terrific tribute to those brave men who gave their lives so valiantly for the cause of freedom. This film is a stain on their memory, Paul Gross doesn't know anything on how to make an effective war film, and this proves it. A shameful "war" film about one of Canada's finest hours in battle. This film should be remade and should be told by a director who actually knows the source material. |

Simon Birch 1998, PG)
A very boring and unspired film. This is suposed to be emotionally charged, hell this is just a stupid boring film with no direction. The midget in this film is annoying and ugly as fuck, and the storyline and is beyond terrible, sappy and stupid. Theres some terrific actors in this film, which are wasted on this sorry excuse of a film. I've never seen something so boring, and hokey. I can think of a lot of better family films than this one. This is the worst family film ever. Pass on this one. |

Semi-Pro 2008, R)
Semi Pro is an unoriginal, unfunny film that uses recycled humour from Will Ferrell's previous films to create it's brand of comedy. A film that signals yet another death rattle ring for Will Ferrell's tumbling career, Semi Pro is a film thats desperately trying to be funny. What happened to Ferrell? Zoolander, Old School and Taladega Night were good enough comedies. But this? This is crap, pure crap. Only the diehard Ferrell fan with intelligence of a 2 year old will love this. Semi Pro, is simply put a recycled film with jokes that we've heard before with the same characters under different names. This film is not different than Blades Of Glory or Anchorman. Will Ferrell's golden years are behind him, and Semi Pro along with Blades Of Glory, Step Brother and Land of The Lost is the beginning of the end for Will Ferrell. Only his most diehard followers won't admit his pathetic decline into mediocrity. |

Juno 2007, PG-13)
Juno is quite possibly the most overrated film I've seen in quite some time. This film is so boring with no laughs and nothing good going for it. The film is pure crap, this is one of the worst comedies I've seen in a long time. I really don't know what the big deal about this film. Hell a 16 year old girl getting pregnant, big deal. I live in a town where girls under 19 get pregnant all the time, it's nothing new or really funny. This is is a sad excuse for a film. boring, uninspired and totally lame. |

Freddy Got Fingered 2001, R)
A stupid, harsh and totally unimpressive garbage from Tom Green, he was once comical, but with this, he ruins his comedy brand, and sinks to whole new low. Crude, tasteless and unfunny only the stupidest people would find this funny. Masturbating and elephant and snorkeling in a toilet is some of the ''funny'' elements to be had here. Bad, this film makes any work by Uwe Boll or Ed Wood look like a Scorsese film by comparison. |

Charlie's Angels 2000, PG-13)
Charlie's Angel's is a bad film with terrible actresses who can't act worth a damn. over the top action is suposed to be very awesome, but it isn't. Just a bad film with nothing entertaining about it. You are left to cringe after wasting your watching this shit. If you want something thats overexagerrated and good, give Shoot Emè Up and Crank a view, not this. |

Wanted 2008, R)
I was very excited about seeing this film. Needless to say, when I did finally see this, I was disappoint. This film is crap because it feels like a music video and the story and action is all over the place. A crap film with a good actor (Freeman) which is a shame for fim because, he really is a talent. Oh well. This film is way overrated and pure crap. This is a perfect example of how NOT to make an overexagerrated picture. The end result of Wanted is a giant noisy mess of a film thats hard to follow. |

Youth in Revolt 2010, R)
Youth In Revolt is a terrible, virtual laugh free comedy. This film was so bad, I had to stop it 45 minutes in. It didn't get better or funnier. Not even Zach Galifianakis made this film any funnier. The dialogue is so stupid, the acting beyond terrible and you really do feel sorry for how lame Michael Cera is with women.. What a lame actor he is, they basically took his so-so character Evan from Superbad and made him worse by making him wimpier and more depressing. I left in the middle and went to finish Mystic River instead. |

Loose Change: Final Cut 2007, Unrated) |

Zeitgeist: The Movie 2007, Unrated)
Yet another stupid ''conspiracy'' film for people with low IQ. People who love this film have never been really educated and seem to get ''smarter'' by watching this bullshit. Many I know bought into this conspiracy bullshit, and have claimed it's all true. One of them never went to college. Another pissed on my rug (literrally) and another has a shoe for a face. All of them are idiotic. Zeitgeist is pure crap, and bullshit. It's not the governments that are the downfall for order and a greater cause. It's the people who actually believe such bullshit. There is no Conspiracy out there. And the Aliens never landed in Roswell in 1947. |

88 Minutes 2007, R)
88 Minutes is the worst film of 2008. The film considering who was involved (Al Pacino) such a cinematic legend might of been good. Unfortunately, it wasn't this film is one of the worst films I have ever seen. The film also proves that even the greatest actors can make beyond aweful films. 88 Minutes relies on every crime cliche in crime thrillers, but unfortunately, this is a predictable piece of trash, because after all, we've seen it all before. Overused cliche as in the person youleast expect is the killer and so on. This is a pile of shit that should've never been made. |

The Fog 2005, PG-13)
The fog remake totally ruined a piece of classic Horror cinema. It's curious to me why studios continue to remake classics that cannot be remade cause they're so good. But this remake is awful, nothing good going for it, and a waste of celluloid. For fans of the original, this film is a travesty., a film with no creative value whatsoever. The reason that remakes are so bad is that they cast teen idols inb the roles of the characters to hopefully and successfully attract a teen audience. In this remake, you have many stars that may appeal to a teen audience, and in does. I overheard my sisters friends (who are teenagers) talk about how good this film is, teens today don't know shit aboiut great horror titles, and they always seemed suprised vand insulted that these are remakes, and when we the film connoisseurs say the originals films are better, they refuse to believe it. Some remakes are good, I'll admit, but most fail, and this remake certainly fails. It's good on special effects only, but doesn't do anything as good as the original did. This film is simply bad. Poor cast, copied plot, and poor directing should make this film drown in actual fog. |

From Paris with Love 2010, R)
From Paris With Love started off well enough, but ended on a very low note. After the first interesting 30 minutes, the film was hit and miss. John Travolta gives one of his worst performances since Battlefield Earth. To me, it looks like the filmmakers tried to copy every "extreme" Hollywood action film such as Shoot Em' Up and Crank and give it a dose of seriousness and give it a French flavor to it. Where to start with this film? The director looks as if he just made his feature length debut with Paris and looks like he directed music videos, if he did he should go back to doing that, cause he ain't cut out to making action films. The acting is simply terrible. Who ever said that this was the best Travolta flick since Pulp Fiction is a total idiot, saying this film is his best since Pulp is like comparing a Van Gogh painting with a hunk of dog shit. I really wanted to like this film, but it ended being a great disappointment, Luc Besson can't can produce a quality action film, and Paris With Love is the latest testament to my comment. The dialogue and acting are poor and after the film is done, you are left feeling cheated out of wanting to watch an awesome action. Be warned, the critique that appears on the dvd cover saying this is the best Travolta film since Pulp Fiction is very misleading, don't be fooled. A stylish film that delivers on mindless action, From Paris With Love, is an action dud. Though heavy on action, the pathetic story and acting brings it to a whole new low. Theres nothing to love here. |

Battlefield Earth 2000, PG-13)
Based on the Church of Scientology founder book, Battlefield Earth is coherent mess of a film. The film is painful to watch, with bad acting, dialogue and stupid storyline. This one of the worst films I have ever seen, not because it's related to Scientology, but because the film is a waste of time, and purely and simply bad. |

Alone in the Dark 2005, R)
Alone in the Dark is Uwe Boll's worst, if that's even possible. Alone in the Dark is very bad, with bad acting, story and directing. The film stumbles around trying to find a purpose, but it never elevates to anything remotely good or creative. Action scenes are sloppy, too noisy and not well done. Equally bad is Tara Reid. This is a film that fails to hit the mark on so many levels, it's not even possible to salvage even if you'd remove all the crap scenes with Tara Reid. Alone in the Dark is a misguided attempt at creating an action Horror film, and it fails. This is one film that just doesn't deliver. You end up wondering why this film wasf8inanced in the first place and you're astounded at how Boll could pull something like this off. Alone in the Dark is the prime example as to why Video game to screen adaptations are horrible ideas for films, and they rarely work. Alone in the Dark is a poorly made film and you realize that Uwe Boll doesn't care about directing a good film that he's only in the business for the money. His films sell, so there's no reason for him to direct a good film, although he's managed to make three good flick s out of the fifteen or so he's made. This might have been an interesting idea for a film if it would have been handled properly. There were signs of potential, but it quickly became apparent that it was a pure joke fest. Everything that might have been interesting is wasted from the poorly conceived script, which feels rushed, with no heart put into its story to the washed up actors; this film was set to fail right before the cameras were set to roll. Avoid this horror flick, as it a mess from start to finish, and there's nothing good to come out of it aside from the heavy metal soundtrack. |

Cocoon 1985, PG-13)
Ron Howard's worst film. This is suposed to be a great sci fi adventure, it's a sappy film thats over sentimental and tries too hard to be a good sci fi film. I thought it was boring, annoying, poorly written and poorly acted. The film is very boring, cheesy and over sentimental. This is a stupid film with definitely nothing going for it. Overrated garbage with very bad acting, and poor directing and scriptwriting. I couldn't believe that I wasted my time watching such a shitty film. Oh well the only thing I can do is warn potential viewers about this film, it's bad. Very overrated and boring, don't get sapped in by the good reviews. Save your 5$ rental money on something better. Luckily Howard redeemed himself with Backdraft and Appolo 13 |

Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy 2004, PG-13)
Will Ferrell is the champion of mediocre comedy. Anchorman is supposed to be his funniest, this is a comedy than gets unfunnier every time you've seen it. Anchorman is previous Ferrell material under a different name, he's a one trick pony. Anchorman is an overrated comedy film that gets constant praise everywhere I go. Hell I thought it was comical when it came out, but that was when it came out, even then I didn't see what was so great. What's the answer, I want to know whats awesome and beyond phenomenal about this film. I thought Anchorman got even more stale with every viewing, watched it 3 times with friends of course, and I found myself laughing even less every time I saw it. However I found the best actors here was Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd (I very much enjoy their work) But in this film, their talents are wasted on such a talentless hack as Will Ferrell. I've seen 4 copies of this film in a pawn shop, I think people realized finally that this film sucks. |

Kicking & Screaming 2005, PG)
Another Will Ferrell vehicle. Kicking & Screaming is more of the same garbage that Ferrell serves up. A few snipits of the film are comical, but don't hold up because the humour gets stale and overuused too quickly. The film rellies too much on Ferrell's one trick antics to create it's humour and doesn't work. Ferrell was pretty good in Zoolander, and decent in Old School; but in this case, big budget studios use the same formula for every film he stars in, and use his one dimensional comedy to try to make something funny. It worked for maybe three films, but when you've spent 7 films doing the same thing, it gets old. Avoid. |
|
| 23 |
Blades of Glory 2007, PG-13)
Blades Of Glory was officially for me, at least the nail in the coffin to Will Farrell's career. Using old jokes from previous films seems to be the norm, and in this case the filmmakers use pretty much every Ferrell flick as a point of reference to try to and find creative on screen gags. The result, a washed, poorly stitched together comedy film with stale jokes that only the most diehard and pathetic Ferrell fans will enjoy. Which is sad, because this guy we all knew was going to suck eventually, and this film is the second death rattle for Ferrell. His career will eventually fade into the darkness. |
|
| 24 |
A History of Violence 2005, R)
Considering I'm a big David Cronenberg fan, I was surprised that this film was pretty bad. This is the second Cronenberg film that I hated, the first being 1996's Crash. The story had potential, but after a while the film gets tiring and not that interesting. The cast is good, but the film just doesn't work for me. I give this one star for Viggo Mortissen and William Hurt's performances. |
|
| 25 |
Windtalkers 2002, R)
Windtalkers is by far one of the most innacurrate war films, I've seen in a long time. Nick Cage is very hit and miss, and Windtalkers is another miss for him. The plot is very bad, the actors, some good are wasted on this sorry excuse of a film. This is a terrible war film to avoid. This is a typical hollywood war film with really no research done, and it shows. A very bad film, with no elements in the story to make this a winner. This is a war film that will be remembered as a dud. Theres nothing interesting or good here. It's however a bad waste of time. Watch Letters From Iwo Jima instead. |
|
| 26 |
Mortuary 2005, R)
Mortuary is one of the worst films by Tobe Hooper, hell it's surprising that he even directed this film. Mortuary has the tv movie cheap feel to it, and the acting and everything else sucks about this film. This is a film that had very good potential, instead the overall film lacks effective direction or style and cannot be salvaged from mediocrity. After this disaster, Tobe Hooper should call it quits. |
|
| 27 |
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story 2007, R)
If theres a film that rivals all the worst Ferrell films, Walk Hard would be it. This is the same type of film than any other film of Ferrell's. Bad jokes, story and acting grace this film like flies swarming a hunk of shit. The film presents a tired out unoriginal comedic formula that is very annoying to watch. When it's finally over, you definitely feel cheated out of the time you spent wasting watching this shit. |
|
| 28 |
Die Another Day 2002, PG-13)
If you're looking for the worst Bond film ever made, here it is. This film is a travesty of the franchise. This is simply put, a piece of shit. A film so bad that it cannot be redeemed by anything. This is a terribly irritating bad film that just doesn't work, and this film has the most pathetic plot of any Bond film I have ever seen. Pure trash. This is a poor end to Pierce Brosnan's stint as James Bond. |
|
| 29 |
Max Payne 2008, PG-13)
Being a huge fan of the game in my mid teens, I anxiously waited for this film to be released. I just needed to see it. When I did, I got the surprise of my life. The film was terrible. I felt that the film over did it on so many levels and Mark Wahlbergs performance ruined the film. The only element they really kept the game was the surrealistic feel of the game and bits of the original story. But that was it. They totally butchered this film, and they could've done something very cool with this film. Set wise it's a great looking film, but as an action film, it's very bad and overall stupid. |
|
| 30 |
15 Minutes 2001, R)
15 Minutes is a piece of crap. This film was boring, uninspired garbage, some cast members were very bad, and couldn't act for shit. I'm refering to Karel Rode, terrible actor. I also feel that Deniro was misplaced in this. Almost every actor tries his best to elevate this piece of shit film, but to no avail. With terrible actors such as Roden, this film doesn't elevate itself out of it's mediocrity level. It worsens. 15 Minutes was a terrible film, one to avoid. |
|
| 31 |
The House Bunny 2008, PG-13)
Another bad Anna Farris flick. Annoying comedy with barely any good jokes. Anna Farris is a terrible actress and this is yet another statement to that effect. Who ever wrote this film should retire, or better yet, be put out of his misery because this is a tired out, virtually laugh free film. You end cringing every time Farris opens her mouth. The House Bunny is not funny, it's crap |
|
| 32 |
The Rocker 2008, PG-13)
Rainn Wilson first staring role. Despite the fact he's very funny, this is a not so funny film. This is a School Of Rock ripoff that has a bit more comedy elements in it, but it ends falling flat and never quit gets there. And the band in this film A.D.D sounds like Jonas Brothers which sucks and really misdirects the audience into thinking that this film is about a drummer playing in a kick ass rock band, it's not. Rainn Wilson plays drums for a stupid teeangsty band to play drums, but if it would've been a real rock band, the story would've been better and maybe funnier. In the end this film was bad. |
|

The Love Guru 2008, PG-13) |
|

School of Rock 2003, PG-13) |
|
| 35 |
Brokeback Mountain 2005, R)
First off, I'm not a homophobe. The reason I hated this film is because it was long, boring overrated and over acted. I also thought they were trying to over do a lot of the scenes just for the sake of trying to break new ground, and making a film worthy of an Academy Award. This film doesn't deserve all the praise it got because it's simply a boring, one dimentional story with no depth or emotion. Funny how Annie Proulx said that the Oscars were rigged and the film adaptation of her crap short story didn't win because Hollywood was homophobic. If Hollywood was homophobic then Sean Penn wouldn't have won the best oscar for his role in milk as Harvey Milk, the first openly gay public servant. Milk is a better film than this trash. |
|
| 36 |
Rush Hour 1998, PG-13)
Brett Ratner demonstrates his mediocre directing skills with Rush Hour. A crap action comedy film. Chris Tucker is very annoying and irritating. Can't believe they made two sequels to this film. Bad. Rush Hour is boring trash with bad acting. I expected so much, but delivered so little. This film along with it's two sequels proves that Brett Ratner should quit directing. He is not talented whatsoever, he's only made one good film, and that was Red Dragon. That's it. If you want to watch this, do so at your own risk. Don't expect anything great here, cause you won't find it. Rush Hour is a filmn that shouldn't have been made in the first place. This is one of the worst buddy comedies ever made. Maybe if it had a different director and two lead actors, the film would have been better. |
|
| 37 |
Rush Hour 2 2001, PG-13)
Rush Hour 2 is more of the same irritating blend of comedy action that Chris Tucker can only deliver oh so well. What is it with this series. these films are terrible and aren't good. The jokes are stale, the plot sucks and Brett Ratner is a shitty director. Theres not really any talent here, Jackie Chan is hit and miss and with this series, he misses big time. The plot is pretty almost the same as the first, and this sequel copies many elements from the first film. As a whole it fails to deliver on every level, and this is a terrible sequel to an already bad film. The third is bad as well. |
|
| 38 |
Rush Hour 3 2007, PG-13)
This is the worst one of the series. Tucker and Chan are more annoying than ever. The action sucks, the directing sucks and story is lame. These two actors should quit and so should Ratner who only made one good film in his entire career. Rush Hour 3 is hopefully the final entry in this terrible series of films. The humour is as usual stupid, and the plot sucks and everything else does to. I was more irritated than anything else watching this film, I kept watching hoping it would get better, but no avail it didn't. |
|
| 39 |
The Transporter 2002, PG-13)
Jason Statham is a guy that delivers illicit packages for shady customers. Film has a good idea, but falls quickly short because the action is very over the top an d tiring after a while. had it's moments, but unfortunately it falls short, and this is a terrible action film. The Transporter feels very much like a stylized music video, the action goes by so fast you almost have to rewind a few scenes to make sense of it. A film with just over the top action, and it's about the only thing going for it, The Transporter could have benifited from a second rewrite and different cast, maybe this film would have worked. But unfortunately, it didn't do anything for me, good idea, but very poor execution. |
|
| 40 |
Transporter 2 2005, PG-13)
A bit better than the first, but not by much, this is a rediculous film with nothing new or creative to add to the mix. The action sequences are so confusing at times that they hurt your eyes and make you think twice about thinking that this film is awesome. The acting is terrible, the plot is stupid and the overall film is a failure. Worth mentioning is Kate Nauta, she sunk the film even futhur with her terrible acting skills, and she's definitely not a good actress, plus her face looked like a shoe in the film. The action sequences are done so fast that you don't understand whats going on, the film doesn't even seem to give you enough time to understand whats going on, and just when you start making sense of things, it falls back down into a big mess. |
|
| 41 |
Transporter 3 2008, PG-13)
Third entry in this crap series of films. This by far the worst one in the series. So bad that I had to turn it off after 30 minutes. The actress that stathams with is very annoying and untalented, which made me shut this film off. Looking back, I can look at The Transporter series as a terrible action franchise. These films lack effective story, and they just attack the viewer with quick action scenes that confuses you and doesn't do anything very creative. This third entry in this lame series lacks, any wit or real drama that has made action films such as The Dark Knight great films. I love over the top action films, but The Transporter films are just a massive fail because it lacks anything very creative. If they make a fourth film, I'm definitely going to skip it. |
|
| 42 |
The Fifth Element 1997, PG-13) |
|
| 43 |
Daredevil 2003, PG-13)
This is one of the worst superhero films out there. A great example of how not to cast Ben Afleck in a superhero film. What do you get when this happens you get a tired, boring action film that tries too hard to be a credible and serious film. I sometimes support the idea of a remake or reboot of a series, and in the case of Daredevil, they truly need to make a fresh film with this superhero. Most of the cast, I found to be be miscast, including Colin Farrell in the role of bullseye, for me he's a so-so actor talented but can do so much more with his abilities as an actor. The rest of the film was too cartoonish and silly almost for my taste. A real shame, cause it did have some potential, Ben Affleck should just do films with Kevin Smith as he did with Mallrats and so forth, he wasn't as bad as when he tried to attempt a serious role such as Daredevil and Pearl Harbor, both films suck. |

Four Christmases 2008, PG-13) |
|
| 45 |
Speed 2 - Cruise Control 1997, PG-13)
Sequel to the awesome Speed, Speed 2 is a terrible film with bad acting, and rehashed ideas. Willem Dafoe is trying his best to prevent this film into sinking, but not even his awesome performance can save this mediocre sequel from crashing. This film seems sloppily made, with pretty cheesy moments and bad acting, script writing. It's a real shame because Willem Dafoe is very good as the villain, but by the films end, not even his great performance can save this film. Thats the only saving grace from this film, Dafoe as the villain. Speed 2 is a train wreck of a film that should've never been made because it really cheapens the first one, which was terrific. Jan De Bont who helmed the first film is trying to keep this afloat, but it fails on so many levels. Speed 2:Cruise Control is one of the sequels ever made. The had an interesting concept for a story, but the execution of the story feels tired, and feels like it doesn't reach potential. Thats the sad thing about this film, it had potential, but the screenwriters didn't focus on the characters, some are very annoying (the deaf girl) and some great (Dafoe's character) Unfortunately this around, the film is way too predictable. Instead of a bus, its an ocean liner. The guy who wrote the script could have added something a bit more consistent to the plot, but he basically reuses old,m tired ideas. Yet at times entertaining, it feels also very stupid. |
|

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2009, PG)
This is the film that Observe & Report got so well. Paul Blart is a failed comedy and it's dimwitted storyline is pathetic and stupid. For mall cop comedies, check out Observe & Report. Kevin James is a terrible actor and comedian, and Paul Blart only provides more proof to that effect. This is a comedy that fails to deliver on the laughs right from the get go. I laugthed twice during it's lentgh and felt cheated when the film was over. A terrible film with barely any laughs. Kevin James is a comedian to avoid, he needs to get on a treadmill instead of in front of a camera. What a waste of Celluloid this film was. |
|
| 47 |
Definitely, Maybe 2008, PG-13) |
|
| 48 |
The Bucket List 2007, PG-13)
I thought that they used too much of the Shawshank Redemption plot elements in this film. Good wasted wasted in a terrible film filled with overused dramatic cliches. Bad directing and bad plot. This is a film that I thought was very boring, slow and terrible. I though it was going to be better than this, but it wasn't |
|
| 49 |
Yes Man 2008, PG-13)
Jim Carrey nowadays is hit and miss, though not annoying or bad as Will Ferrell, he still can manage to deliver good films from time to time. Unfortunately, Yes Man is not one of them. This is a very bad and irritating comedy with stupid plot elements, jokes and bad acting. Not one of Carrey's redeeming films thats for sure. This one is a miss. |
|
| 50 |
X-Men: The Last Stand 2006, PG-13)
Third entry in The X men franchise after the awesome part 2, I thought that this one would be better. I was wrong.A film that was helmed by Bret Rattner is a definite piece of shit aside from Red Dragon and the first season of Prison Break. This is what you have here. A crap third entry in this awesome series. Ratner totally butchered this film, it should have been made by Brian Singer instead.The film I thought was so inept in its conception so ridiculous in its story that afterwards I was just disappointed. I couldn't believe that after the solid X2 they made a piece of crap like this. I honestly expected something great. One reason for this was because everyone was saying that this was better than the second. That The Last Stand was a far superior film. The film relies more on its effects than the story. thats something the second one played on so well, the terrific plotline was just so well executed and the concept behind the film was brilliant like General Stryker trying to rid the mutants was terrific idea.. it made X2 one of the best superhero sequels along with The Dark Knight. But The Last Stand is an unimpressive and bad third entry. This film sucked. fans of the first two films will be disappointed especially if you've heard that this entry was far better than the second. Luckily for fans, Matthew Vaughn director of Kick-Ass has helmed X Men: First Class and it will most definitely redeem the franchise back to glory. |
|
| 51 |
Ladder 49 2004, PG-13)
Quite possibly the worst Joaquin Phoenix film. Ladder 49 is a crappy drama film with overused cliches and we've already seen it all before. A bad Fireman film this is just a pointless excuse for a film. I view this film as a Backdraft ripoff, it borrows from many plot elements from that film. Ladder 49 never really does anything very dramatic as it follows closely every dramatic cliche in the book, in other words; we've seen it all before. |
|
| 52 |
The Guardian 2006, PG-13)
The Guardian is almost directly a exact copy of Ron Howard's film Backdraft, a lot of plot elements are similar. Including the end. This is a pointless film that had a lot going for it, but it failed to go beyond expectactions, and fell flat almost from the get go. Started off well enough, but it was apparent 45 minutes in, that the film was borrowing elements from previous drama flicks. Nothing new or original here, a pointless, poorly acted film that rellies on previous plots in other films to create a totally ''new'' story. The overall film was a waste of time, and the ending made this film worse. One of the worst films ever made for sure. A piece of trash that should've never been made in the first place. |

Hitman 2007, R)
While keeping a few key elements of the videogame, this film adaptations ultimately fails by trying too hard at being an awesome action film. The film is a terrible mess of a film that doesn't deliver on anything good. The film was cool, a few times. But this film as a whole was very bad and mediocre. |

American Wedding 2003, R)
American Wedding is mediocre to say the least. The film lacks the originality that made the first film so enjoyable, but by this third film, it's easy to see why sometimes the comedic formula tends to be a bit tired out. There are a few good moments to be had here, good laughs too, but I just felt that they tried too hard with this one. However there are some hilarious moments here, especially when Stiffler is on-screen. The film loses its charm at times, and it's a shame because the idea for the film was very interesting, unfortunately the film is the worst of four films, and the writing is pretty lazy, and some jokes really don't work. This is a film just ran out of effective ideas. The film started off well, but by the end was pretty mediocre. The film has too many bits where the humour falls flat. I think that the film could have used a few rewrites to really work out the kinks in the script. Add to that the fact that many of the cast that made the first film so much fun weren't there to add more excitement to the film made this film a very ordinary mediocre comedy. With this film, it just felt like the filmmakers were trying too hard. American Wedding was mediocre at best, but in the end I just thought that this was the weakest film in the four film franchise. The jokes here are stale, and a lot of them don't work. I just thought that they could have put more effort into this film. |

Wild Hogs 2007, PG-13)
Wild Hogs is a dull, and uninspired comedy with semingly washed outactors passed their glory days. The film is unfunny and irritating. I thought the filmmakers tried too hard with writing a ''funny'' script, which had a few laughs, but as a whole, Wild Hogs is a faillure as a comedy. Theres nothing that makes this film an enjoyable one, and this is simply a film about a bunch of losers trying to regain their youth by starting a motorcycle club. To add insult to in jury, the filmmkers got sued by the Hell's Angel MC. good job, at trying to make a good film. This is a stupid film to avoid. |

Firestarter 1984, R)
The problem with Firestarter is that it is a horror film that relies way too much on elaborate special effects. The book written by Stephen King was good, entertaining, scary and effective at delivering thrills. This is a film that cheaply relies on the effects to try and create the same atmosphere that the book had, but the payoff is horrible. This is one of the worst Stephen King adaptations that I have seen. King himself, voted this film as one of the worst of his book to screen adaptations. This film was bad, and considering the cast, you'd expect something good, right? However this is a poorly constructed film that relies little on story and more on effects. I think the film would have been much better if the filmmakers would have developed the story a bit more and focused less on visuals. This is a sloppy attempt at bringing Stephen King's book to the screen. Firestarter could have been a good film, unfortunately the film fails and instead of elaborating on the story; it just becomes a visual feast for the eyes with no substance. If you're looking for a good adaptation of a Stephen King novel, you won't find it here. If you're a fan of the book, you'll be disappointed in this film. This is a film that only visually looks good, but doesn't offer anything else. If you're looking for good horror elements, look elsewhere. You won't find it here. The script and directing are horrible, and it's a shame that they couldn't bring a great book to the screen in a more memorable manner. This film is bad, and is quite forgettable. |

Hannibal Rising 2007, R)
Let me get this out of the way, I read every Hannibal Lector books by Thomas Harris. I loved them all including the prologue to the Red Dragon, Hannibal Rising. I was thrilled when they were going to make a movie based on the book, I was thrilled. Now reviews have said that people not "getting it" don't apply to me, cause I knew exactly what to expect. But this film is an insult to the book and an insult to Thomas Harris. I didn't like it because I thought the actors seemed bored, and gave really sloppy performances and they don't deliver on the source material, and its almost a dead on adaptation. Thats why I hated the prologue, this terrible because of bad acting, you end up falling asleep because the actors are terrible. Hell, the guy playing Hannibal should be a victim in the next Hannibal Lector novel, if there ever is one just to have given such a terrible performance. The film also ends up being really not suspenseful, thrilling or scary for that matter because by now you know definitely well what will happen, even Hannibal and Red Dragon had some very thrilling, suspenseful, thrilling and scary moments. But Hannibal Rising has none of that, all you get is a tired out film with boring, predictable scares and thrills. The actor playing Hannibal never does anything to elevate the legendary stature of Hannibal Lector and he portrays him as a joke, he lacks the menace and the wit of previous actors that played the character, Anthony Hopkins and Brian Cox. If you loved and read the book, don't watch this film, it's a tired out film with none of the memorable suspenseful thrills of the other books and films. Bad acting brings this film as the worst film in the series. |

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Next Generation (The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre) 1994, R)
Where to start with this film? The bad acting? the bad directing? the bad script, story? This film absolutely ruined the series. TCM next generation is pretty the same of the story as the first TCM, except instead of kids investigating a grave robbing, they're travelling on a secluded road after going to a prom. The film is basically a modernized version of the first TCM film, it really follows almost everything to the letter, nothing new or original here, no scares, to be found or smart, clever Horror bits. Not to mention Leatherface is a joke now, it's a total embarrassment to Gunner Hansen (the original Leatherface) This is a sad film to watch, there's not a single part that redeems this piece of trash, and not to mention that the family of crazed maniacs tormenting the Renee Zellewegger and her friends, are aliens sent to earth to do an experiment, what a sh**ty ending, the only good about this film, is that it eventually ends. If you've seen the last three films of the series, and you haven;t seen this film, Do not watch this, save your time and money. This film is terrible beyond words. |

Clownhouse 1988, R)
Clownhouse might have been an interesting idea for a Slasher film, and it is. I had heard much praise on this film. When I got around to seeing the film, I was stunned at how bad it was. The film turned out to be one of the dumbest films in the 80's horror, and that says a lot. Clownhouse takes a unique idea for a Slasher film and dumbs it down. For me, I think that Clownhouse was simply an excuse for director Victor Salva to watch young boys prance around in their underwear. That scene was really disturbing and made you feel uncomfortable. Clownhouse is a film that is probably most famous for being the film where director Victor Salva molested lead actor Nathan Forrest Winters. Aside from that, the whole voyeuristic, creepy vibe that Salva put into this film really throws you off and makes uninterested, along with a bland script that can't seem to use any effective ideas despite an interesting idea for its plot. The film is disturbing, but not in a terror inducing way. The film is disturbing for two scenes, one where you see a child's bare ass and another scene where you see three brothers dancing around in their underwear. The film started off good, but after these two scenes, I didn't feel comfortable, and I hated the film because of it. Aside from that, the acting was terrible, the characters were bad, and the film dragged on too long. In the end, Clownhouse is just an excuse for one man to get his sickest fantasies realized. Clownhouse is a poorly constructed horror film that doesn't deliver genuine scares. What started off as a promising film, ended up being an awful film that should be avoided by any serious horror fan. |

An American Werewolf in Paris 1997, R)
An American Werewolf in Paris is an insult to Jon Landis's landmark film. This film features nothing to redeem it's stupidity. The film is simply a washed out version of Landis' classic Werewolf film. The film has some very bad CGI effects, and it has a terrible cast to act out the dreadful scenes. This is one film that should be avoided, it's not even a decent film. This film is a poor excuse to cash in on An American Werewolf In London, now that was a werewolf picture. This film is pure and simply a travesty and is not worth your hard earned money. They could've done something great maybe if Jon Landis and Rob Baker were involved in the project, but instead they hired a hack of a director to market this brainless piece of crap to a "hip and cool" generation of teens. What a waste of money, and Celluloid, the only way this film could have been great was with a rewrite and Jon Landis helming the project. Nothing new to be found here, just a headache of a film. |

Jaws 4 - The Revenge 1987, PG-13)
Jaws The Revenge is the worst film in the series, and is luckily the last in the franchise. The film has lost any credibility as a Horror Thriller and does not scare one bit. It's simply another shameful attempt to cash in on the Jaws Legacy of 1975. The film is simply terribly acted, terribly directed, the shark looks fake and the actors themselves seem bored and uninterested in doing the film. The film is simply incompetent in every way imaginable, and has no redeeming quality to redeem this terrible film. No thrills, horror or suspense abound in this film. Jaws: The Revenge is an empty vessel with no heart or soul, and towards the end you are left wondering why in the fuck did I just watch this piece of shit. If you haven't seen this film, you are so lucky, as it is truly terrible and is a sad conclusion to a Horror thriller series gone terribly awry. |

Hostel: Part II 2007, R)
Sequel to Hostel, Hostel 2 is pretty much the same film as the first one except that it's less uninspired, instead of being Guys back packing in Europe, it's Women who are the victims. The only decent scene that had genuine terror is when the rich business men, place bids on their potential victims, I thought that was well done, but as far the film goes, it fails to live up to effective standards of horror, and ultimately is just the same film as the first except they switched the characters around. Hostel 2 is a failure and I think that it should have gone straight to DVD, because really this is one bad sequel and doesn't offer anything new to add to the story of the first one. Hostel: Part II simply doesn't work and I thought the film was pretty boring to be honest. This sequel was very predictable and if you've seen the first film, then you'll know how this one will turn out. This is a poor sequel and one that really isn't worth watching. Though the first Hostel was good, this one was terrible. I don't see why they bothered making the same film twice. I think the filmmakers could've at least tried a little harder than this to create a decent sequel. However this is not the case. If you're looking for a horror film with originality, then skip on this sequel. This film is far from original, and it's a mess from start to finish. However if you're looking for a film that lacks anything original, then this is the film for you. However, stick with the original. This one was simply awful. |

Death Row (Haunted Prison) 2006, Unrated)
Death Row is a terrible B moving that had the potential of being something terrific. Unfortunately due to the fact that the script is poor, the special effects look cheap and that the acting is poor, Death Row is one terrible horror film. The film had an interesting concept about a documentary crew filming in a haunted prison. Unfortunately, the filmmakers don't know how to effectively construct a suspenseful, horrifying picture and the result is awful. What could have been a wonderful horror film turns out to be a total mess with a poorly constructed plot, under developed characters, and poor directing. Death Row is a total disappointment, and for me, anyways is one of the worst Low-Budget horror films that I've seen in quite some time. Death Row may have had a great concept for a haunted house style film, although in this case it's a haunted prison. Unfortunately the film goes nowhere, and most of "terrifying" elements are laughable. I think that if the film had a better cast, better script, this film could have worked. The film was disappointing and it fails to entertain. In fact it took me everything to finish this film as it was so poorly crafted that it has to stay involved. Death Row could have been a good film, but it's a total disappointment and an awful film from start to finish. |

Vacancy 2: The First Cut 2009, R)
Vacancy was a fine return to the classic Horror genre with tension and suspense and terrific pacing throughout the film. With this prequel, the filmmakers strip away whatever was good with the original and try to come up with something new. Ultimately it's a failure and it doesn't do the original justice. What made the first film so good was the strong performances by Beckinsale and Wilson. But with The First Cut, we get a totally new cast of pathetic actors who are more annoying than talented. The film tries to do something new, but it fails. If you've loved the first film, you don't need to watch this. It's basically the same film, with a less than talented cast and a smaller budget. A terrible film. |

I Am Legend 2007, PG-13)
As a fan of Richard Matheson's novella, I was thrilled to know that they were making a film based on his short story. Unfortunately when I went to go see the film with my mom, who happens to love the book ( in fact, I Am Legend is her all time favorite vampire book) we ended up being very disappointed with the film. I personally felt like it was a clone of 28 Days Later more than anything. The film didn't respect the source material whatsoever, and the film is only linked by the book by character and title of the film alone. Other than that, there is nothing in common with Richard Matheson's original work. A film thats very disappointing for diehard fans of the original novel. The film will appeal to people who HAVEN'T read the novel, they'll think it's phenomenal and well made and exciting, this is a terrible film, and I consider it a remake of 28 Days Later under a different title. Also it's a big commercial for the Ford Mustang as we see Will Smith drive around and speeding in a dead, deserted New York City. A failure and simply a terrible unoriginal horror film that butchered Matheson's brilliant novella. |

Robocop 2 1990, R)
Lacking the style of the first film, Robocop 2 feels like a quickly put together sequel to cash in on the success of the first one. Theres nothing really interesting here, just a wasted opportunity to make a good film. The film falls short on creative ideas, and Robocop acts more and more human (which is very idiotic in my opinion because it makes him look more like a joke than anything else) How can you take a robot that talks like a human seriously? The filmmakers stripped away everything that was stellar and exciting about the first film, and conjured up a watered down version of Robocop, that works more like a comedy than an action film. |

Ringmaster 1998, R)
Never in my life have I witnessed such waste of celluloid. Ringmaster is one of the worst comedies ever made. This is the Passchendaele of comedy films. An utter piece of trash mixing every white trash stereotypes. This almost make Miss March a decent comedy (and it's the second worst film I have ever seen). The jokes are pointless and very lame. This is nauseating film with definitely no redeeming features to it. This film makes other bad comedies look great by comparison. I'd rather get by teeth yanked out with a pair of pliers next time than watch this shit film again. Avoid if you like good comedy, you won't find it here. |

The Break-Up 2006, PG-13)
A very bad film. The Breakup is the perfect example of how not to make a comedy film. The formula for this film was simple, take two "good" actors and put them in a situation where they hate their guts so much that they need to breakup, ok boys that sounds like we got a winner, GREENLIGHT IT!!! The breakup suffers from very poor jokes and very bad acting. When theres something somewhat funny onscreen, there has been too much time since the opening credits to make you like this film, ny the time something funny happens, you've already made your mind that this film sucks big time. Jennifer Aniston can be a good actress (Rockstar, Marley & Me) but in this film, she just doesn't cut it for me. Vince Vaugh is terrible as usual the only good film he has ever done was Dodgeball. Vaughn is a terrible actor and comedian. I find him just as tiring as Will Ferrell nowadays. The Break-Up doesn't work at all as a Romantic Comedy, the actors on screen seem bored. I personally think that the story had potential, but the filmmakers tried too hard to include drama in the story, thus the film ended up being a massive bore. If you suffer from insomnia, The Break-Up may be the cure. Awful film. This is a perfect example of a film that could've been funny, but instead iy failed. They could've replaced Vince Vaughn, everything he does is 98% bad. On the rare occasion he'll manage to turn out a decent enough comedy, but not with this film. This was a wasted opportunity, and everyone should skip it. |

You've Got Mail 1998, PG)
You've Got Mail is an awful romantic comedy that is quite simply boring, dull and considering the cast, is a wasted opportunity. I hated this film when it came out, and was forced to watch it. I hated this film because I felt it was too cheesy, don't get me wrong, when theres a romantic background used as a plot backdrop for a film, and if it's interesting, I'll like it. But if it overly cheesy, then I'll hate it. You've Got mail is a terrible film that doesn't have anything good going for it. The talent is wasted, and the story simply is bad. Of all the romance films, You've got Mail is probably the worst. This is a film that isn't worth the celluloid its filmed on. You've got Mail is garbage, pure and simple. The film is a dud, and one that simply doesn't do anything great with it's plot. A very bad and irritating film, You've Got Mail just bores you to sleep. Of all the Tom Hanks films that I've seen, this is his worst yet, and since. A total waste of time. If you consider watching this, expect something totally bad, or better yet, keep expectations low, so you don't get disappointed. |

Extreme Ops 2002, PG-13)
Extreme Ops is the perfect definition of a very bad film. Bad acting, bad actors, plot and directing. The plot to this film is by far one of the stupidest plots I've ever seen for a film. A bunch of extreme sports kids defeat powerful terrorists. Right then that should tell you this film will suck-and it it does. Everyone in this film obviously know nothing in making a good action film. If you want a good action film view Die Hard, that had a story, this piece of shit had action and no story. Extreme Ops is one of the worst films I've seen, and like I said it's the perfect example of a bad film. Nothing really does make sense, and the film gets even more rediculous. A very bad teen oriented action film, and I watched this when I was in my teens, it sucked then and it sucks now. |

Aeon Flux 2005, PG-13)
Aeon Flux is a pointless action film that can only be described as a complete mess. The action was elaborate, but I felt there was too much going on to make this a good film. The film focused more on the action and special effects than it did on story and substance. Theres very little going on in the film to really make this a memorable action film. I love mindless action films, but Aeon Flux misses the mark in that respect. The acting I felt was sloppy and the directing wasn't that great. The way the story moved along was pretty clumsy and I really lost interest after a while. This is one of Charlize Theron's worst films and what really sucks is that Aeon Flux could have been something good. Instead the film is a lazy attempt at trying to dazzle the viewer with great special effects that tries to cover up the paper thin story and wooden acting. The idea of the film was good, but it was poorly executed and the results are a film that mildly entertaining but never reaches its potential and by the time the credits role, you realize how much Aeon Flux was a mediocre picture that could have been much better. Whats really a shame is that theres some good, talented actors such as Frances McDormand and Pete Postlethwaite are wasted here. Aeon Flux could have been a great film, but the filmmakers opted to conjure a special effects laden film instead, which doesn't work. |

Rise: Blood Hunter 2006, R)
I'll be quite brief in this review for I feel that this movie fails to provide good scares and a good story. First off, Lucy Liu is plainly a bad actress. She can't act. This movie still proves that. I'd figured she'd retire after the lame Charlie's Angels movies. Anyways, getting back to this film, the movie is full of flaws, the dialogue between the characters is completely utter garbage and the plot borrows alot of from the Blade franchise, which in my opinion was terrible. On a high note on this film, Marilyn Manson makes a cameo as a bartender. Which I found was amusing to see. At least he was better than Lucy Liu, and he had less than 5 minutes on screen. I thought the movie was bad and with Lucy liu attempting the Buffy the vampire slayer routine; it just didn't work. |

Shutter 2008, PG-13)
The Shutter remake is yet another attempt to remake a good Japanese horror film into a crappy not so original or scary film for a tween audience. A sorry film from start to finish, this film fails and is unremarkable. The film like all remakes relies on fancy CGI to build horror, but with a cast of has been teen actors, this film is plainly terrible. It was well made, but it failed to deliver anything scary. Watch the original instead. |

My Super Ex-Girlfriend 2006, PG-13)
My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a terrible film with a unique idea that could've been terrific. I feel that the film could have been much better if there was better talent involved. The cast didn't do anything for me, and I felt that jokes were stale, and most of the time, unfunny. The concept of the story is interesting, but the actors here are mediocre and don't do anything unique. I laughed a few times, but once the film was over, I felt like I wasted my time overall. Ivan Reitman has had a great career, but with this film, it makes it to his forgettable films list. There's not much going on here, except for bad acting and forced jokes that aren't funny most of time. I love comedies, but My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a failed attempt at creating something very funny. Instead My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a disappointment and is a film thats easily forgettable. There's nothing going on in this film, and the end result is pretty pointless. A comedy that simply doesn't work, My Super Ex-Girlfriend is simply a bad film that you realize could have been better with a better cast and a better script. The idea is good, but theres nothing really good here to be entertained. A pointless, boring and most of the time, unfunny film. |

| 76 |
Couples Retreat 2009, PG-13)
Couples Retreat is a poorly crafted comedy. This film is so poorly made, and it's so irritating that you don't even care what happens, you lose interest halfway through. Vince Vaughn is terrible and so is Jon Favreau. I couldn't find one thing I liked about the film, and I thought as a romantic comedy, it failed as well. this is a pointless comedy that has strained comedy and is unfunny most of the time. I hated this film because I felt it was poorly made and most of the jokes fell flat. The cast try way too hard at being funny, and in the process ends up being irritating. The film is one of the worst comedies that I have seen, and has nothing good going for it. Nothing. This is a pointless film that fails on all fronts. The material delivered here has been done so many times before, done better as well. Couples Retreat is a boring film that really couldn't be entertaining. The film is lazy and tries to be funny, but it ends up being embarrassing. After seeing this film, I've become a little more wary of Vince Vaughn, and because of this film, I'm most likely never going to see anything with him again and he is simply a terrible actor and comedian who isn't funny and struggles with whatever role he can get. Couple Retreat is a pointless comedy with no laughs. |

Hellraiser VI - Hellseeker 2001, R)
Obviously by the sixth entry of a franchise, scriptwriters seem to be scratching at the bottom of the barrel. This is the case with the sixth entry of the Hellraiser Franchise. Hellseeker is a wasted opportunity and feels like a made for TV film. People say this is worth watching because it brings back Kristy, the main character from the first three Hellraiser films back into the fold. The problem is, she's only back, but briefly. She plays an important role in this film, and the story does focus on her character, but if she's so important to the overall storyline, why is she on screen for less than 10 minutes? What a waste. The acting is pretty bad, even by direct to video standards, and the dialogue seems fake, and the interaction between the characters doesn't feel right. Also a thing that bothered me, was the virtual absence of the Cenobites, Pinhead shows up 35 minutes in and has barely enough screen time. Hellseeker is a terrible sequel, and is a waste of celluloid. Everything about this film is bad, not even Doug Bradley or Ashley Laurence where able to save this dreadful film. Clive Barker should have put his foot down, because this film is a mockery of Clive Barker's original masterwork. What makes this more insulting is that on the back of the DVD, it says that this film is far better than the original, yeah right. |

Tales from the Darkside: The Movie 1990, R)
Tales from the Dark side: The Movie is according to Tom Savini, the real sequel to Creepshow. I read that somewhere can't be sure. The result of Tales from the Dark side is a film filled with mediocre stories, that don't deliver anything really interesting. Some cast members were interesting, yes, but overall, the film was a pretty big miss. I felt they could've done something a lot better, and what's really sad is that at least one story was fairly good. But unfortunately, it wasn't enough to redeem this horrible anthology of horror stories. I felt that the filmmakers didn't care for the film at all, and made this film in a rush. The results show on screen, and it's almost embarrassing. Tales from the Dark side could've been a better film, but it fails as a whole, and is one of the worst horror anthologies that I have seen. This is a poorly made, poorly written film with a decent enough cast that couldn't even save the film. Tales from the Dark side is a missed opportunity and could have been much better. |

Stephen King's It 1990, Unrated)
If you're looking for the worst Stephen King adaptation, here it is. Based on his bestseller of the same name, It is a terrible, unfaithful attempt at adapting King's awesome and terrifying story in a made for TV production. Stephen King's It joins the many films that tried to capture King's novels, but ultimately failed. This is a terrible film that fans of the book will despise. Not even Tim Curry's great performance as Pennywise can save this film from being an utter disappointment. What really bothers me about this made for TV film, is that it could have been a terrific film. However, it feels like the filmmakers took a few short cuts here and there, and made simply a terrible adaptation of King's work. The acting in the film, apart from actor Tim Curry, is terrible. Every actor I found to be painful to watch on screen. Even John Ritter was terrible. I found that there were too many corny moments in this film to truly make it n interesting horror film, which totally sucks because it could have been a great film. But unfortunately, the film misses its mark and ends up being one of the worst of all the Stephen King adaptations. Even if this was made for TV, I still think they could've put effort in creating something great on screen. I mean, the book is excellent and truly scary. But this adaptation is laughable. |

Thunderbirds 2004, PG)
When I was a kid, I used to watch the Thunderbirds, I thought the show was excellent, fun and Thrilling. I was a little skeptical about watching this film, as it looked like a kids film, and it also looked like the film makers didn't know what they were doing. Boy was I right. Ths film is Aan insult to the original series, and it's fans. They could've at least made a film that the whole family could love, but instead they made a crap film. With it's child oriented humour, the film is a faillure even by child oriented film standards. This film was amusing, but it wore off, and the fact that they 'reinvented' the look and style of the original series was just wrong. They could have at least try to make a film that the entire family could love, instead they simply made this film for kids, this was honestly a bad move. One of the reasons why is becase the original fans of the series were born in the 60's and grew up watching Thunderbirds, my dad grew up on it, and he made me watch it when I was a kid. Anyhow, the film is terrible because every actor here seems miscast for the part, the story is lame, and the actors are plainly silly. Ben Kingsly was a joke in this film, not even his talent could redeem such a horrid picture. I really was hoping for something terrific on screen. Instead we were given a total joke of a movie. The nostalgic feel of this film is absent. The only good thing that came out of this film is that it will reiinforce the status of the original series more. Watch the series instead instead of this filth. This is a film that should not have been made. |

Pearl Harbor 2001, PG-13)
Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor acts in a similar way as James Cameron's Titanic. Both films and Paul Gross's ultimate cinematic travesty Passchendaele. All three films take a tragic event in history and spice it up with a love story. I really don't know why they decided to include a love story to a backdrop of a tragic event in history. However the film is a failure. Michael Bay's directing is sloppy, the guy can't seem to craft a good story with a film with actual development in the story. All his films are that way, and as of yet, he's only made two very good films, The Rock and the first Transformers film. Pearl Harbor has obviously been influenced by Cameron's Titanic, though was a film with a mediocre love story, which made it the most overrated piece of garbage in cinematic history, it was slightly better than this. Michael Bay opts to ignore facts to create his film and fails miserably. Bay prefers fiction over fact, and the film is a disappointment for those who love history and war films such as myself. The acting is atrocious and everyone involved in this train wreck should be ashamed. Pearl Harbor has some decent enough action sequences, but unfortunately that doesn't redeem the film of how bad it is. The film could have been trimmed down to 2 and a half hours instead three and a half hours. Either way, Pearl Harbor was a disappointment and is one of the worst war films ever made, after Passchendaele of course. Tora! Tora! Tora! is the definitive Pearl Harbor film. Skip this one and view Tora! Tora! Tora! That film is a classic. Pearl Harbor is an attempt by Hollywood to to create fiction with fact, and it's a failure. |

Titanic (in 3D) 2012, PG-13)
James Cameron's Titanic is one of the most overrated films in cinematic history. The fact that it won 11 Oscars is beyond me. I remember when this film came out, and being interested in the history of the actual liner, R.M.S Titanic, I really wanted to see it. I was 13 years old at the time of it's release, and I remember liking it. I thought the film was superb, and I also thought the sinking and everything else involved about the ship was great. I viewed a couple times since then, and with every viewing I found it irritating. Obviously the love story was bad, and really was a shame to put that in the film if you ask me. The actual history of the ship is there of course, but it's hollywoodized to appeal to a larger audience. Cameron wants to tell the story of the ill fated liner, but in doing so he needed something that connects the audience to the tragic voyage he created a Romeo and Juliet subplot set on the Titanic. I enjoyed the historical aspect of the film, but the whole Jack & Rose plot sunk the film. The thing that has stood for me over the years are the special effects. To see a full sized Titanic was was exciting and you can just imagine how big the ship really was. The acting was and dialogue were pretty bad and the love story was simply terrible. If theres one thing I enjoyed about the film was the special effects and if there was a second, it be the actual story of the vessel, I can do without the sappy love story. Overrated to the max, and this is James Cameron's worst film to date. I'm still trying to figure out why this became such a hit. Everything about the film seems out of place, the only thing that slightly redeems it are the visuals. |

Takers 2010, PG-13)
Takers is a coherent mess of a film. With a cast of future has beens, it's only natural. I thought that the film was very poorly stitched together and I knew right from the first ten minutes that this film would suck beyond belief. I was checking my watch every 10 minutes or so because I was absolutely bored with this piece of garbage. I caught a few bits here and they used elements from previous heist films such as Heat and the remake of The Italian Job. I mean using the C4 to blow a whole in the street so that the robbers can steal the loot, thats lifted right from The Italian Job, right? Although they tried to cleverly hide the plagiarism by creating a different exit route, not only that but they basically copied the ending to the film Heat, although this time around it's the cop who gets shot. Takers tries absolutely nothing new or exciting. The film is a terrible attempt at getting talentless actors and even less talented rappers turned actors act in a heist film. The best way to summarize Takers is that it tries to be a hipper, cooler version of Heat for the Jersey Shore generation. The film suffers greatly from a cliched plot, poorly developed characters, bad acting and poor dialogue. The director obviously wanted the film to focus more on the action than on the story, which in my opinion was a huge mistake. The reason that Heat and The Town were so great was because not only were the action scenes well executed, but the scenes in between heists were well crafted with enough drama and buildup to satisfy the audience. Takers deliberately takes a different approach by toning down the storytelling was a bad mistake. There is no redeeming factor about the film. The film is a bad attempt at combining the best heist films into one "hip" film, but the thing is there's nothing Hip or cool about Takers. Takers is bad, and is a film that we've all seen before, many times before in fact. Tries far too hard to be Heat, but successfully fails at every turn. Avoid this film like the plague and watch Heat, The Town, The Italian Job instead. Skip this piece of shit, it truly is crap. |

Delta Farce 2007, PG-13)
Delta Farce has got to be the most awful, shallow, poorly constructed comedy film ever made. This is a film that makes every Pauly Shore film look like classics by comparison. You know right from the start that the cast for this horrid train wreck will not be good when you have Larry The Cable Guy, a comedian who's become so unfunny, so quickly that people now realize how primitive his style of comedy was. With Delta Farce, the filmmakers basically took, Larry The Cable Guy's one trick comedy routine and made an hour and a half long minute out of it. Truly original. Sounds like something that Pauly Shore did with every one of his films, at least no matter how bad the films were; he did manage to give me a few chuckles. But with Larry The Cable Guy, he's just too painful to watch on screen. I don't like his work, and I think he should retire from the comedy business. The guy was maybe funny for a year or so, but now he's yet another pointless comedian. Delta Farce is a painful comedy that is so poorly written and acted that you wonder how this trash could be green lit and shown in theatres. Oh well, they'll market anything to make a quick buck. |

Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector 2006, PG-13)
Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector is a stupid, pointless comedy that features some very mediocre humor. The cast here are all terrible, and there's not a lot going on in this film. In fact, there's nothing interesting going on whatsoever on screen. This is a stupid, pointless film that should've never been made. Those involved should ashamed to have participated in such a train wreck of a film. This is a poorly made comedy film that relies on 10 year old style humor to "create" its "hilarious" material. Unfortunately for most viewers, fart jokes are a thing of the past. Every one involved is terrible in their roles, and this film really scraps the bottom of the barrel of comedic ideas. Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector is probably the worst comedy film since Biodome and Jury Duty. A pointless and failed attempt at making an audience laugh. The crude humor displayed on screen is unpleasant and unfunny. Saying that this film sucks is not enough to describe this inane and awful comedy. I hated this film, and thought it one of the worst comedies you can watch. Avoid. |

My Soul to Take 2010, R)
My Soul To Take is the first film written and directed since 94's New Nightmare. Unfortunately the film suffers greatly. Critiques of the film have pointed out that the film is dull, boring and formulaic. The film is certainly that. I was looking forward to seeing this, as I think Wes Craven is a terrific filmmaker, and he has crafted some of the best horror films in the history of horror. However with My Soul To Take, it's clear that Wes Craven has scrapped the bottom of the barrel with these ideas on screen. The film had an interesting idea, which I thought was very intriguing, but then the film just went all over the place, it became too hard to follow and didn't make sense. My Soul To Take has too many things happening at once, that ultimately you lose interest. The initial idea was good, but it spiraled into a subplot and then another subplot, and they all didn't go anywhere. Too many unfinished ideas cloud this film and it doesn't work, the film ends up being one of the worst horror films in recent memory. This film makes any remake seem watchable by comparison. I just can't believe that Wes Craven directed this film. I was expecting something good, and initially with the overall plot, you would expect something cool here. But by the final act, the film is beyond crap, it cannot be salvaged. The only thing that can be asked after seeing this film is, does Wes Craven need to retire? the answer is most definitely yes. Like Dario Argento, George Romero and Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven has lost his touch for good horror films. I think it's time for Craven to hand over the reins to a new generation of horror directors. |

House of Wax 2005, R)
I was kind of looking forward to this remake. Obviously the main reason was because Paris Hilton was going to get killed on screen.Everyone was talking about it, unfortunately this remake of the Vincent Price classic is a terrible film. The film is plagued by a terrible cast, I mean they got Paris Hilton in the film. Right off the bat, it should give you a hint that this film wouldn't be great, right? Her other cast mates are very bad as well, Elisha Cuthburt though very attractive, can't act. Brian Van Holt here as the villain is fairly good, but unfortunately, his acting doesn't redeem this piece of garbage. House Of Wax suffers from the usual remake formula, a star studded teen cast, that teenagers can relate to with cheap scares and gore. Don't get me wrong, I love gore and cheap scares. But when there well done, not when they're done in a way that demands it, like if its the only trick the filmmaker can generate out of his film, then it doesn't work. House Of Wax lacks anything that can make a good horror film appealing to it's audience, and when it's finally over, you're left irritated by how stupid this film truly was. A very disappointing film, and one that could have been good. Instead, House Of Wax is nearly 2 hours of wasted potential on screen, something that could have been great, but is ultimately sunk by it's terrible cast. Luckily Director Jaume Collet-Serra made a much better film in Orphan, which incorporated old school horror elements with thrills. However he clearly missed the mark with this film. Not even Paris' on screen death makes up for the film. |

Slap Shot 2 - Breaking the Ice 2001, R)
Sequel to one of the greatest sports comedies ever made is one of the worst films ever made. I have never seen such an uninspired sequel or film for that matter. I don't know where to begin with this travesty? Cast, a bunch of washed up has beens or others trying to make it in the film industry. You have Gary Busey here, The guy was relevant when he was in Point Break, but not anymore. Same with Stephen Baldwin, the guy wrecked his career with Pauly Shore's Biodome, great career move. Anyhow Slapshot 2 is a dud, a waste of time and a terrible insult on the original. Slap Shot 2 doesn't try to break new ground or do anything original, funny and amusing. Theres a few comic bits here and there, but it becomes repetitive very quickly and the jokes become stale and unbearable. The story for this is film is fairly terrible as well, and it makes Slap Shot 2 one of the worst sports sequels since Caddyshack 2. this film is an insult to hockey, hockey fans and the original film in the process. Thats quite a feat NOT to be proud of. But really what do you expect from a film that has a bunch talentless actors? not much. I'd never thought I'd say this, but even the legendary Hanson brothers are annoying and don't bring on the same laughs as they did in the first film. It's too bad. Slap Shot has the unfortunate distinction of being one of many great films that have very bad sequels. A real shame. Slap Shot 2 should be avoided at all costs, whatever made the first film so great is absent here and theres more irritating and unfunny jokes that seem to try too hard at making you laugh, something that never quite works. |

Prom Night IV: Deliver Us from Evil 1991, R)You know that by the time a franchise reaches the fourth sequel, usually the producers scrap the bottom of the barrel. In the case of Prom Night IV Deliver Us From Evil, this is exactly the case. This is a film that does not succeed in any shape or form whatsoever. The Prom Night series have only two good films in the series, the first two. But the third and fourth entry are absolute garbage. I found the film to be painful to watch in every respect and quite frankly almost a chore. I needed to watch this film so I could review the fourth entry and let people know how shitty it really is. This is the worst of the Prom Night films. The film lacks everything that has made the first two worth watching. This final entry in the Prom Night franchise is a drastic departure from it's predecessors. Like every film in this series, none of them have a specific killer, for example Friday The 13th has Jason, Halloween Michael Myers. This fourth film is a mess with a bad script, bad acting, and poor buildup. If you've seen the first three, then skip this film, it has nothing in common with the original film or its second film, plus the third film was a comedy horror film which was also poorly executed. The film suffers from cliches and predictability, and the element of surprise that makes a good horror film are absent. There could have been something watchable on screen, but unfortunately I consider this a missed opportunity and I view this film as one of the worst horror films ever made. |

The Tourist 2010, PG-13)
I was anxious to see The Tourist as it seemed quite the change of pace for Johnny Depp, who usually plays a string of eccentric and amusing characters. Well The Tourist is a very much different change of pace than his previous work. I would say he is miscast in the role, as really I don't see Depp in a Spy Thriller. What got off to a promising start quickly dissolved into a silly, frustrating film that was pretty irritating. For those looking for a serious action spy thriller, The Tourist doesn't offer that escape of action that every other thriller has. Most of the action sequences are interesting, but they= have a light dose of comedy that doesn't seem to work. Whats really disappointing in this film is the wasted talent on screen. I mean Johnny Depp is a brilliant actor who went from playing Jack Sparrow from The Pirates Of The Caribbean to John Dillinger in Public Enemies. Paul Bettany, another terrific actor is wasted here. The Tourist began well enough to be a good film, but it then ventured into predictable territory than every other genre film. The Tourist is a film with a terrific idea, but suffers from a bad script and directing. I've never heard of this director before, and after watching This film, I think he should remain unknown to me. The Tourist is the perfect example of a disappointing film. The film suffers from trying too hard at entertaining the viewer by being serious and funny. This is one of the worst films of 2010, and actually the only film of last year that I've see that isn't good. The film is somewhat entertaining, but the entertainment is mediocre and considering the talent involved, you'd expect a much better film, right? The Tourist could have been an awesome film, but it settles on being a mediocre one. If you're looking for one of the least thrilling and entertaining films of 2010, where the actors are talented but wasted on screen, then look no further than The Tourist. |

Godzilla 1998, PG-13)
Godzilla is the type of film that you watch when you're 12 and you think it's the best film ever. But once you hit your mid twenties, you realize that whatever you thought was great in films when you were 12, is actually crap. I have never seen an original Godzilla film; but I have to say that this film is a disgrace to the original Japanese films. I have seen snippets of the original films, but nothing more. Roland Emmerich crafts a film that is based more on the special effects than on plot or character development. Not to mention that this Godzilla is much smaller than the original. Looking back now that I'm in my twenties, I have to say that this film sucks. I think this is Emmerich's worst film along with 10,000 B.C. The film lacks anything to make it appealing. Luckily I grew wiser and discovered what truly makes a good film. Godzilla is not one of those films. A pointless action film with terrible acting, Roland Emmerich's film is simply a big disappointment, and is a film that has definitely not stood out the test of time. One of the worst remakes too. The film relies more on its special effects than on story. The end result is a film that's struggling to be entertaining without offering anything really that interesting on screen. A stupid and awful remake. |

An Inconvenient Truth 2006, PG)
An Inconvenient Truth is probably one of the biggest folly's I've ever seen in a documentary. The film since its release has been proven false by so many scientists that it should be called An Inconvenient Lie. This film is pure propaganda designed to scare you. Nothing in this film is true. Not only that, but Al Gore is one big hypocrite. You see him in the film flying around in his Lear Jet in the film. You must ask yourself, if he's so environmentally friendly, why is he using a private jet that uses a lot of fuel to pollute the air? This film is laughable and should be dismissed as a piece of garbage, because after all, it is. If you know something about the Earth, and really read about it, you'll realize that eventually the Earth will head for a New Ice Age. How could anyone acknowledge facts from a man who took simply one course on Global warming? Personally, I'll stick with scientists who actually know what the hell they're talking about. Al Gore is a bulls**ter and he doesn't deserve the exposure that he got with this film. This is a flawed "documentary" that really in the long has no relevance because Al Gore is not a scientist, he's a politician. Sorry Al, but you should stick to politics, oh wait; you're no good in that game as well. An Inconvenient Truth is a film that cannot be seen at all as a source of information because, like I said, Al Gore is no authority on the matter. Believe what you want, but I'm going to get my information from people who actually know what they're talking about. If you want my advice, watch the Discovery Channel, at least there you will no BS info. You won't find Truth in this "documentary". You're only going to find lies and deception. |

8 Mile 2002, R)
I'm going to try to keep the genre of music genre that I love out of this (Heavy Metal music) out of this review, and focus solely on this film. I was anxious to see this film when it came out, I was interested to see what Eminem would do as an actor, and well... He didn't deliver on that side. I've never liked rap really. I think it's a shallow form of music with just one message, and most of it sounds the same. I stated early in this review that I am a metalhead, but I'll tell it hasn't influenced my decision to like or hate the film. I despise this film because I think they could've done something better with the material. 8 Mile is an overrated piece of garbage and is only seen as a phenomenal film because of Eminem. Big deal, he's in a film. This film is yet another example of the hype killing the film. There's nothing good or interesting happening on screen. The film goes for the raw, gritty street look, and it does succeed on that level. But where it fails in the actors performances and the overall storyline. The film has a very poor conclusion, and it ends on a flat note. I really don't see why this film has gotten this much praise, if it wouldn't star Eminem, this film would've been panned by critics. A bad film with a boring story with terrible acting. A wasted opportunity to try and make something great, instead it's forgettable. |

The Celestine Prophecy 2006, PG)
The Celestine Prophecy has got to be the most boring film ever made. A total waste of time from start to finish. I never read the book, and won't after seeing this trash. But man was this film pointless and lame. I never seen something so crappy. The film has a terrible plot, and worse acting. I here the book is great, but after watching this, I'm not so much interested anymore. I think that the film could have been a good one, but it feels so cheap, and preachy that it's laughable. The cast here are terrible, and theres not really impressive names here. I thought the film was a missed opportunity and maybe, maybe could have been something really good. But instead The Celestine Prophecy is simply a bore fest from start to finish, and you're waiting for something interesting to happen, but it doesn't. The Celestine Prophecy is a waste of Celluloid This film shouldn't have been made and it was a poor execution of a popular book. What The Celestine Prophecy is, is a film that tries to be something spiritual and feel good, but it ends frustratingly painful for the viewer to watch. Finishing watching this film was a chore, and now I can only hope to warn potential viewers that this film simply sucks, and is not worth watching. This is a wasted film that has a stupid, pointless script that doesn't go nowhere. The film fails at being spiritual, and ends up being very cheesy. One of the worst film ever made for sure. |

Batman & Robin 1997, PG-13)
After the good Batman Forever, Joel Schumacher directs again, and with that in mind it was also thankfully his last time directing a Batman film. This is by far the worst Batman of them all, it's the only one that sucks. Everything about the film is out of place. Joel Schumacher crafted an entertaining film with Batman Forever, which I thought was very entertaining, and a pretty good reinvention. However with Batman & Robin, Schumacher and co. stripped down the elements that made the first few films so good. What we have here with Batman & Robin is a tired film with no original ideas. In fact the film feels forced, like it was rushed just to cash in on the success of Batman Forever. The film is ridiculous and unbelievable. I honestly think that this film could been truly something good, but it ends up be laughable. The film plays out like a comedy instead of an action film. Schumacher should have thrown in the towel. Batman & Robin is a travesty of superhero films, and George Cloony is the worst Batman to ever grace the franchise. Everything that has made the Batman films great in the past is gone, all thats left are silly characters that are supposed to be dark, villainous and serious. Watching this film, you do not get that feeling that the good guys are in actual danger. Batman & Robin feels like a film that could have been produced by Disney. The films "menacing" tone is more silly than threatening. Theres nothing wrong with a cartoonish style live comic adaptation. Dick Tracy starring Warren Beatty. The difference? Dick Tracy had a smartly written script, and was fun to look at. The characters were great and the cast was excellent. Thats not the case with Batman & Robin. The film insults the intellect of it's viewers and is plainly stupid. There's nothing to enjoy about the film. It's garbage. |

I Love You Phillip Morris 2009, R)
Let me start this review by saying that I am not a homophoebe. I have nothing against gay people. In fact I read a lot of Chuck Palahniuk and Clive Barker both authors are gay, and Barker has made one of the best horror films in history, Hellraiser. Both are gay and I respect Palahniuk and Barker. Also the lead singer of one of my favorite bands is gay, Rob Halford Of Judas Priest. Now that I've defended my stance on the issue, lets move on to the film. I love you Phillip Morris is a film that is simply put a piece of trash. The film is crude, vulgar obscene and offensive. I thought the film was unsparing in showing every stereotype of gay men. The film was paInful to watch. To me the problem isn't with the gay content, its how its presented. I know a lot of people who are gay and they do not act like they do in this film. Sure most gay guys I met were flamboyant, but none of them were like the gay people portrayed in this film. This film is an insult to the gay community. I've read some reviews from people that happen to be gay, and they said that this film could evoke what people think of gay people and get the wrong idea. From the content of this film it's no surprise that some will definitely get the wrong idea about what gay men do, how they're big spenders, constantly live the high life and so on. An insulting film thats pretty boring as well. I Love You Phillip Morris is a film than intensifies all the bad gay stereotypes, and because of this film a lot of people will get the wrong idea about gay people. Terrible film thats very insulting. I didn't like it. I'd recommend the film Milk because that film shows the struggle for gay people to be accepted, this film shows how gay men are "supposed" to be, an insulting film that has no redeemable qualities. The film doesn't deserve the praise, and Carrey is finished. |

Hulk 2003, PG-13)
How to start a review for Ang Lee's Hulk. Well for one, I think Ang Lee is an average director that he picks projects that are too elaborate for him to conceive. Perfect example for Hulk, this is one of the worst superhero films that I've ever seen. The film is a total dud. Which is a shame because theres such a terrific cast thats simply wasted on a shit script. The film is disappointing in so many ways. For me the two biggest problems were that The Hulk looked pretty awful and the film was far too boring. There wasn't enough going on to keep you interested in the "story" because really, there wasn't one. If done correctly, this film could have been something terrific, but instead it's not. The film could have been shorter and with a bit more story development, something I think was lacking here. Hulk is a film that is rooted in wasted potential. They could have done something truly good with the character, but instead; the film feels rushed. I believe to truly make a great superhero film, you've got to take your time to get it right. Hulk feels out of place, too long just to give it some meaning. The film is boring and too long. The action scenes are few and when they occur, you've lost total interest in the film. A missed opportunity and it proves that Ang Lee is not that great a director. I don't think he is, and if you want proof of his directing talents then this is the film for you. Ang Lee for the most part always delivers films that are boring. Well I'll give him credit for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon that one was good, but the other films he's done including Hulk are terrible. If you want the best version of The Hulk, give The Incredible Hulk a view. |

The Scorpion King 2002, PG-13)
Third entry of The Mummy franchise tells the story of Thew Scorpion King which you'd expect that they would make something good, but unfortunately; it is not to be. The Scorpion King is a terrible action film that has poor story and even poorer acting. The cast for this film is terrible and really most of them seem out of place\. It's a shame because The Scorpion King could have been a terrific film, but it ends being one bad film. The Rock is not so good as The Scorpion King even though he looks cool in the part. Instead of delivering an awesome actioner, director Chuck Russell tones down the blood and plays it safe to secure a PG-13 rating. If this film would've been rated R, I think there could have a lot more accomplished in terms of action. Also like I've said, the story fails and mimmicks tother towering sword & sandle epics of old to very bad results. The film feels stupid, and though its slightly entertaining at times, you can't shake the feeling that it's a poorly made action film. The idea is good, the execution is terrible. They could have done something cool with the story, but it feels to simple and lacks anything great. I've the same action scenes before, it's nothing new. The film is cliched with a bad cast and a bad story. If the screenwriters would've tried a little harder they could've written a superb script and ended up with a film that would've entertained you. Instead the film insults the viewer with barely anything truly original to offer, this will make anyone watching it want his hour and a half back |

Rollerball 2002, PG-13)
What is there to say about this remake of the classic film? words aren't enough to describe the abomination that is Rollerball. The film is dreadful with a bad script, bad acting which goes well with the bad actors, and what surprises me is that it was made by John McTiernan the same director who directed some monumental action films such as Die Hard, Predator and The Hunt For Red October. This is simply a bad film made by a once good director. The story is terrible and the cast are all of bunch talentless morons that make this less enjoyable by the minute. The thing that was interesting about the film was Slipknot's cameo, and as a big metalhead, I thought it was pretty cool. But to say that a band salvaged a dreadful film is plainly stupid. Rollerball belongs on the same list as other lackluster "re imaginings" as most recent horror films. This is a dreaful train wreck and it insults you from start to finsh. Don't be fooled by the "cool" action scenes" they're not that great. The original 1975 classic Rollerball is the definitive version, and those who've seen this train wreck should check out the original, you'll at least redeem your senses by watching a terrific classic. This film should be avoided like an Uwe Boll film. At least Uwe Boll films are humorously entertaining, this trash is simply sad. |

Richie Rich 1994, PG)
Richie Rich is a poorly made family film that by today's standards hasn't stood the test of time. I remember when this film came out, and I watched it quite a bit when I was young. However, I look back, and I wonder what was to love about this dreadful piece of trash? I guess it was because I was young, and I thought that it was impressive. Hell, when you're a kid, it doesn't take much to be impressed. Richie Rich is a poorly made film with bad acting, bad plot and overall bad directing and bad development. The film suffers too much from lack of story that it's easy to forget this film, and if you've seen it, you want to forget this as soon as you can. Having watched Richie Rich, you understand why Culkin's career went into the toilet. The guy is a terrible actor, and none of his films have stood out in the long run for me. I can name so many classic family films without even mentioning Macaulay Culkin's films. They never really that great. Even Home Alone doesn't make me laugh anymore. Richie Rich is really a death rattle for a terrible actor who plainly got a career because he was "adorable". Culkin is terrible and luckily now, he's making Independent films that will most likely end up in the discount section of a K Mart or Wal-Mart. Richie Rich has a pathetic story, and is simply a terrible family film. Watch classic family films like Toy Story or Casper and The Sandlot. But avoid this trash. |

Bio-Dome 1996, PG-13)
Bio-Dome is one of the last "major" films starring Pauly Shore, and it's no secret as to why he faded after this piece of trash. When Pauly Shore first started out, he did bring a few laughs. Encino Man and Son in Law were decent comedies. After that, Pauly became so repetitive and unfunny so fast that it's no wonder that he's in the where are they now file. This film is stupid, dimwitted, excrutiatingly painful to watch. Bio-Dome is a poorly made comedy with no laughs whatsoever, there's only one chuckle to be had in the film. The film insults the intellect and has nothing good whatsoever going on to interest the viewer. The film sucks, the characters terrible, and worst, some good talent chose to be in this film. Signing on to do a Pauly Shore film is the nail in the coffin to many up and coming actors. Just look at Stephen Baldwin, this film ended his career. Bio-Dome is the perfect example of a film that should've never been made in the first place. The film misses the mark on so many levels and can only be described as a really bad comedy and film overall. This film sucks. It's no wonder why Pauly Shore's career went downhill from here. There's only so much one can do, and his gimmick became old after two films. Avoid this film. |

Jury Duty 1995, PG-13)
One must wonder how it came for an "actor" like Pauly Shore to make the amount of film that he's made and with his utter lack of talent, still find work. But Jury Duty along with Bio-Dome would signal the end of Shore's career. Jury Duty is a mess of a film. I don't even know where to start. The acting is horrid, the story is paper thin (luck all of Shore's films), the development is crap and the overall film is awful. It's no wonder that Shore's career ended soon afterwards. I guess after Bio-Dome they finally realized how bad he was. Jury Duty is virtually laugh free, with no chuckles to be had. If you're looking for one of the worst comedies ever filmed, then this would be a place to start. This film was boring, and uninspired. After Jury Duty and Bio-Dome, it's no wonder that audiences were tired of Pauly Shore. This is a sad attempt at making a comedy, and it fails on so many levels. The film strangely enough, had a fairly good idea. But this just goes to show that when you miscast a lead, your film will be terrible. If someone that was actually funny was cast here, then maybe it could've worked. Add to that a few script rewrites, and maybe, just maybe this comedy would have been a good one. But alas, it's not. The film scraps the bottom of the barrel, and ends up being annoying with its repetitive style of humor. Stick with Encino Man and Son in Law; those are two rare examples of Pauly Shore being sort of funny. But pass up on this one, simply a terrible film. |

Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd 2003, PG-13)
Prequel to Dumb & Dumber is an incredibly bad attempt at outdoing the original. Where to begin? The acting is terrible, the jokes are unoriginal, the script is terrible. This film one of the worst films that I have ever seen, and it doesn't deliver anything funny or amusing. The film instead of being funny is irritating with it's stupid attempt at "good" comedy which of course fails fails on all levels. If you're lucky you'll stay away from this film. If you're unlucky, you can warn fans of Dumb & Dumber how bad this prequel is. This film scrapes the bottom of the barrel and goes further still. All the actors here for exception of Luis Guzman suck. I'm actually surprised that Guzman acted in this. Dumb & DUmberer is actually a fairly great title for this film because it certainly is dumberer and makes the viewer feel dumberer for having watched it. Thnere's nothing great about this film, it's a dreadful train wreck of a movie that you wished you hadn't seen in the first place. The film is thebtype of movie that you wish could be unmade and whipped off the face of the earth. Dumb & Dumberer is nothing but a sorry piece of crap prequel thatjoins a few other films that filmmakers have tried to cash in on its far superior counterpart. Of course I'm refereing to films like Slap Shot 2, 3, Sandlot 2,3 and Caddyshack 2. All of these films failed to capture what made the originals so great. Now Dumb & Dumberer is among those sad, mediocre titles as one of the worst prequel/ sequel ever made. |

The Core 2003, PG-13)
The Core is one perfect example of a terrible film that should've never been made. What's stunning about this film is that it has a good cast of talented actor, aside from D.J. Qualis, who was always a terrible actor. I can't believe the amount of really good actors who acted in this pile of junk. The film is yet another "save the world" type of film and is focused on reigniting the earth's core. However, the films plot is so poorly conceived that you lose interest in watching the film, and wonder why you even bothered with the film in the first place. This cast cannot save the world or this film for that matter, and when you have a seventeen year old as the head of the operation, you know you have a really bad film in the can. This film fails as a disaster film and as an action movie. When I originally saw this at the time of its release, this was the worst that I had seen. The Core has a great cast of talented actors, but even that doesn't save this lacking, and mediocre story. This is one of the worst action films that has come out of Hollywood, and really makes the disaster genre an irrelevant bad joke. This is a film that should be avoided. The great cast is wasted here, and they shouldn't have ever made this stupid, ridiculous. |

The Rookie 2002, G)
The Rookie is one of the few sports films that really doesn't do anything for me. The film is overly cliched and is more irritating and boring than anything else. I saw this film made it on the list of worst sports movies ever made. I can understand why. The film is very poorly written, the acting is terrible, the plot is predictable and Dennis Qaids kid in the film is irritating as hell. But its normal for a Disney film. That's to be expected. I thought the film was really a chore to finish, the only reason that I have this is because it came as a two pack packaged with a film that I wanted. I thought this film would be good, it wasn't. Sometimes a story with lots of cliches can be interesting and fun, when the script is well written, and the cast is good. But thats not the case with The Rookie. The Rookie tries too hard at being a feel good film, and instead it misses the mark, big time. Theres little interest in the film to be had 40 minutes in and the film feels sloppy, and poorly made. The Rookie could have been a great film, but it uses the usual feel good movie formula in such a bad way that the film is laughable. If you're looking for one of the worst feel good sports films, then The Rookie is that film. Boring, predictable and so poorly made all you want to do after watching this film is forget about it. |

Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge 1991, R)
Third entry in the Puppet Master series is a terrible waste of time. The idea for the film is interesting, but the film feels too low budget because after all, this series was always a straight to DVD series. The film is poorly made, with a bad script, bad acting and bad directing. There isn't really anything redeeming about this film, except you feel that there is something that could've been done better due to its concept. However that's not to be. The only remotely good Puppet Master film is the first one, and I really don't know why they kept on making sequels to the first. Really by this third entry you can see the filmmakers were struggling to find an angle on what could work for a story, a story that could have been interesting, but it fails due to the lack of talent involved. The Puppet master series lacks anything truly interesting, and his third entry is very bad and is not worth watching if you've seen the first two. This is one sequel to avoid and not bother with. There is nothing really good here and the film is lazy filmmaking even by straight to DVD standards. The film is awful, and I can't recommend any horror fan watching this mess. The ideas for the film fall apart really fast, and there is absolutely nothing salvageable about this third tiresome entry. Skip it. Though very bad, the film did have some potential, but is clearly wasted here. Not a film worth watching. Your time would be better doing something else. |

Puppet Master II (Puppet Master 2: His Unholy Creations) 1991, R)
Follow up to the first Puppet Master is a big disappointment. After the amusing first entry, Puppet Master is a step down and is definitely not a fun experience. The cast are terrible, and the acting is about the same level as Troll 2. The first Puppet Master was a decent, watchable horror film. But Puppet Master 2 is simply a very bad film with bad acting, bad dialogue and bad directing. The film feels sloppy and doesn't try to break new ground. This is a poor attempt at a sequel, but it's not surprising considering that the whole series is a straight to DVD crap fest (except for the first film) There's nothing entertaining about this film, and you can see it was so cheaply made that it could have been a Sci Fi channel movie. This is a poorly constructed film with poor execution. If you liked the first film, don't bother with this one, it has nothing good to offer and is a waste of time. The film is terrible and not worth your time. I found myself fast forwarding a few times with this because it wasn't good and the acting was painful to watch and the so called story was pretty bad as well. This is a film that feels bad all around, avoid this because this series is just bad and the sequels are tiresome, boring and a mess. This second film fails where the first one succeeded, and that's being a good so bat's good horror flick. I disliked every sequel that came after the original, and I feel that because of that, this one of the worst horror series ever made. |

Ghost Rider 2007, PG-13)
Ghost Rider is one of the biggest, most disappointing super hero film that I have seen along with X-Men The Last Stand. Ghost Rider is one of the worst super hero films as well. What's really sad about the film is that it the potential in being something truly unique, but sadly, it missed the mark on so many levels. Nicholas Cage is a very hit and miss actor, and when I say he misses, he really does miss the mark. Ghost Rider is just another one of those misses for Nick Cage. Don't get me wrong, he's made some really good films, but with Cage is that he has bad films than good films. Ghost Rider could have been a terrific film, but instead it becomes crap with it's poorly developed characters and storyline. What's really stunning is that some real talent such as Peter Fonda and Sam Elliot are wasted here, and Ghost Rider is just a boring film. I felt that the film was a missed opportunity and the filmmakers could've done something great with, but it feels like they took the easy way out and made something very bad. If you're looking for a bad superhero film, then Ghost Rider is that film. Another Nicholas Cage dud. Hopefully the reboot won't suck, but it doesn't look promising considering that Nicholas Cage is reprising his role as Johnny Blaze. |

Billy Madison 1995, PG-13)
Billy Madison is Adam Sandler's big break on the big screen, and you gotta ask, is his first cinematic outing worth it? nope it's not. Billy Madison is a missed opportunity. What we have with this film is a film that has a few minimal laughs, but the comedy is so poorly executed that it treats the viewer as a stupid person. Really the only funny part of the film was Chris Farley as the bus driver. Adam Sandler first film isn't good at all, and it's one of the worst the actor has ever done. Luckily he improved with Happy Gilmore, which is a very funny film. But Billy Madison is simply a bad film. The comedy is sloppy, badly done and the acting even by comedy standards sucks. The idea behind the story is a good one, and they could've created something memorable with this film. Unfortunately, it's not to be. I hated this film, and of all the Adam Sandler films that suck (theres quite a few) Billy Madison is one of the worst that he has done. If you're looking for a decent comedy to watch with Adam Sandler watch Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer or Big Daddy. Not this one. Theres way too much crap going on in this film to be entertained by this film. Watch a better comedy than Billy Madison, watching paint dry is funnier than this film. Nothing funny, more irritating than anything else. One of Sandler's worst, and that says something |

Do the Right Thing 1989, R)
Do The Right Thing is a film that contradicts the message it tries to convey. Do The Right Thing is a terrible film because there are so many contradictions that it just doesn't. The film is a sad attempt at trying to raise important issues, but fails miserably. I can't take this film seriously because of the contradictory message it displays. I thought it was an absolutely pointless exercise in exposing racial ignorance. The film would've worked if the contradictions wouldn't have been there. Like for example, using violence is doing the right thing? Right. I am not racist and have no hatred whatsoever for black people, but personally, I think this film insults the black community and reinforces the stereotypes against them. Spike Lee is an aweful filmmaker who practically remakes the same film over and over. Do The Right Thing is a piece of crap that looks dated and I don't see what so great about the film, all I see are a bunch of people who contradict themselves in the film. I'll stick with American History X and Mississippi Burning. At least those films brought to light important issues that Do The Right Thing tried to do without doing the wrong thing. This film does the wrong thing all the way, and by the films conclusion you feel empty, and you wonder if Mookie did Really Do The right thing? He didn't and I thought the film was fairly awful considering the subject matter. I honestly believe this could've been a good attempt, but it has too much contradicting points to make this film a worthwhile viewing experience. |

The Waterboy 1998, PG-13)
By 1998, Adam Sandler became fairly irrelevant. Sandler basically has one trick up his sleeve, and over the course of his career, has managed to turned out a few decent comedies, but nothing really special. The Waterboy is quite possibly one of his worst films. The comedy expressed on screen feels strained and forced. If you're looking for a good comedy, you won't find it here. Sandler has managed to make a few decent films that actually were pretty funny, but The Waterboy is simply a stupid exercise in comedy. I don't see the appeal of The Waterboy , as it is a total waste of film. This is a stupid film that has the potential to irritate the viewer. Sandler has made three funny films over the course of his career: Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy and The Wedding Singer. However this film is terrible. The Waterboy is an unfunny mess that has few funny parts. Like I said, the films brand of comedy feels forced upon the viewer and it feels like there wasn't too much thought put into the script to try and create a very funny and witty film. Adam Sandler is pointless in this film, and if this film is your type of thing, then give it a shot. But be warned, this is one of the worst comedies with Adam Sandler, and saying that, it says something. I'll stick with Happy Gilmore and Big Daddy. |

Eurotrip 2004, R)
Eurotrip is a pointless sequel to a mediocre comedy. This film has a very bad script, bad acting and directing. The jokes are more crude and vulgar, and most of the time are unfunny. This is a very sorry excuse for a comedy and Eurotrip scraps the bottom of the barrel in term of good ideas. Eurotrip is a rushed film and it's apparent that there wasn't enough thought to deliver a decent comedy. Eurotrip is a poorly stitched together film to make a quick buck off the original, which by today's standards has become quite unfunny in it's own right. Road Trip hasn't aged well, and with the years has become quite boring, I really don't see why they made a second film because this is a plainly yet another lame attempt at trying to mimick the first, but failling miserably, as if it was already a problem. Eurotrip can be described simply as a cash grab. Simple as that. This movie has nothing interesting to appeal to the viewer and ends up being a pointless comedy with strained jokes that try too hard to be funny, but ends up falling flat. Eurotrip is a disappointment that is one of the worst comedies ever made. This is a film that doesn't add anything to the first film and is unrelated. This is just another example of a film that tries to cash in on a successful (but not good) first film. Avoid it. |

Road Trip 2000, R)
Road Trip is a film that when first released was very funny. However as the years gio by, the film becomes unfunny with every viewing. Having watched it recently, this film has not aged well, and the jokes have become stale. This film has many flaws, one being the bad joke, another the bad acting, and third it looks dated. One thing that I hated about the film was Tom Green, who is very unfunny,, and whos brand of comedy is so low brow that he has become irrelevant and forgetable.Road Trip by today's standards has a few chuckles here and there, but the humour for the most part is unfunny and doesn't generate laugh out loud moments like it did when it first came out. This is the type of comedy that becomes unfunny as the years go by. Rewatching this recently, I realized that the films comedy was lazy and uninspired. Road Trip was a fun film when it first came out, but now ten years after its release, the film has lost it's finess and is no longer relevant. There has been far better comedies that have come out since. Comedies with a better story, better jokes and is still funny long after its release. But Road Trip, due to the talent involved managed to be a comedy that has become unfunny very fast. Todd Philips has made a better comedy, The Hangover which is one of the funniest comedies of the decade. But this film is pretty pointless and manages only a few chuckles and a few smiles instead of bringing on big laughs. The film has become forgetable. |

A Serious Man 2009, R)
Before I start this review, let me just say that I am a diehard Coen Brothers fan. I loved everything that they've done, and thought that each film they made was terrific, unique and different from the previous one. However with A Serious Man, I felt they've made the worst film of their career. The film is too slow with little development and has nothing spectacular going on on screen. The Coens always had a somewhat eccentric storyline for each of their films, and it worked almost everytime. Except now. The film is boring and dull, and I was trying to figure out what this film was trying to be. The film did not impress me, and I honestly think that this is the worst Coen Brothers film. A Serious Man is a disappointment and if you're looking for the worst film that The Coens have made, this is it. I really couldn't get into this film, and I don't see why this film has gotten the praise it has received. The film is dull, with little substance to make it something interesting. Thats also the worst part about the film, usually the Coens deliver something thats very interesting on screen and entertains the viewer, however with this film, it puts the viewer to sleep and makes him wait for the end credits. At least this is the only Coen Brothers film that I consider crap, and they redeemed themselves with True Grit. |

Men in Black II 2002, PG-13)
As the first Men In Black film was enjoyable, this one is a pretty poor conceived sequel to a fairly good movie. The film is disappointing because it the potential to being something good, but it failed to capture the fun of the original film. I felt that this sequel was rushed, and lacked the creative elements that made the first film fun. The film is very silly, and not in a good way. The characters presented in the film are terrible, and some ideas are recycled from the first film. This is just a poorly made sequel to a good film. Either a sequel is good or isn't. Men in Black II is a bad sequel with bad performances. This sequel is lazy, uninspired garbage, and if you've enjoyed the first one, pass up on this one, because there's simply nothing going on that's good. In fact, the film is quite boring and it doesn't do anything good whatsoever. I think it's a real shame because they could've done something really good with the ideas in this sequel, but they fall through halfway through the film. The cast here are wasted and most of them are plainly awful. One performance that's very bad is that of Rip Torn, I was watching him go, and wonder what the hell he was doing. Men in Black II is a terrible film with a bad script, bad acting and a semi decent plot. If it was reworked a few times, I'm sure this film wouldn't have been as bad as it is, but it's a much uninspired, boring sequel to a good film. If you like the first film, pass up on this trash, you'll save your time. |

Critters 4 - They're Invading Your Space 1991, PG-13)
Critters 4 is the worst critters film in the franchise. The third one was a fun, mediocre ride, but this film is pretty pointless. The story is poorly crafted even by Critters film standards. The film could have been a fine end to an amusing series, but it ends up being a failure. The first two Critters films were great fun, and the third was amusing as well, but this last one feels like they scrapped the bottom of the barrel, and didn't focus on building on a fun. I'm sure that given a rewrite, Critters 4 could have been a fine conclusion. But theres just too many things going wrong on screen. I personally feel they should've just made three Critters films and left it at that. The idea is interesting, but the story is poorly crafted and you lose interest after a while. this is a film that should have been made only if the story was strong enough. What you have with Critters 4 is a film that tries to take off , but doesn't because of a bad script that recycles the same old tired ideas. |

Critters 3 - You Are What They Eat 1991, PG-13)
Third entry in the Critters franchise and it's clear right from the opening minutes, that the filmmakers have run out of ideas. Critters 3 is notable for being the acting debut of Leonardo DiCaprio. By this time, the third entry has become stale, uninspired drivel, and the fun from the first two films is replaced by a very mediocre script that recycled ideas from the first film, and has nothing new to offer the series. The acting is awful and the film is poorly constructed. The film fails at capturing the classic elements of the first two, and ends up being a tired effort that is simply boring, doesn't have anything going for it. The film could have been much better, but it doesn't, this third entry along with the fourth film are forgettable entries in the franchise that have nothing interesting to offer the series. This could have been an interesting third film, but it's obvious that all the good ideas have been used and the filmmakers were struggling to come up with something good for a third film, unfortunately, the film didn't work and it ends up being a bad one at that. |

Twister 1996, PG-13)
Aside from Speed 2: Cruise Control this is director Jan de Bont's worst film. I've seen a few times when I was younger, and with each viewing I found something that I hated about this film. I thought the story was way too thin for my liking, and the cast was wasted here. Not that it matters, because of these"actors" are terrible anyway. Twister is a special effects extravaganza and uses those special effects to create its story. Unfortunately for this film, the story itself is almost absent. or poorly developed. Twister is a poorly stitched together disaster film, and I'd say its one of the worst that I've seen. The acting is way too over the top, very laughable and you're just hoping that a Tornado will drive right through this mess of a film. The only thing that's fun about this film is the number of goofs. In one scene, you see a chaotic tornado scene, and in the corner you see very well it was filmed on a back lot because you see cars driving along the road as if everything is casual. I hated this film, and I thought it was a pointless film with absolutely no entertainment value whatsoever. The film enters the disaster movie category because it deals with tornados and such. But I'd say it's a disaster movie because nothing works in this horrid picture, and everything about is laughable. Avoid if you're looking for a good disaster film. |

Lifeforce 1985, R)
Lifeforce is one of the weakest of Tobe Hooper's films. This had the potential of being a good film, but it failed on so many levels. I thought that the film was a massive disappointment and I think it's one Hooper's worst. What really sucks about the film is that Dan O'Bannon wrote the film, and he was an extraordinary talent in the horror genre. However Hooper rewrote it, and destroyed some of O'Bannon's ideas. Even O'Bannon expressed distaste at what Hooper did to this film. I thought it could've been something great, but it fails big time. I think that this film is very overrated and it doesn't deserve the praise it has gotten. The films only worth it for the special effects, that's it. There's nothing else going for it. The film is a poorly executed horror film that fails miserably and doesn't have anything interesting going on. The ideas were good, but the execution is sloppy. I watched this film with great expectations and was let down. I was very disappointed in the end result of Life Force. There may be Life in the title, but there's definitely no life in the story and on screen for that matter. A poorly made and boring horror film that simply fails to entertain because there's nothing going on on screen. The sad thing is, is that this could have been something truly good, but when you have a good script, and does a rewrite, well sometimes the film is a massive failure, and this is what happened with Lifeforce. Avoid this film, it's quite bad, and it is one of Tobe Hooper's worst. |

Bones 2001, R)
If you're looking for one of the worst horror films ever made, then Bones may be the one you're looking for. Starring Snoop Dogg in the title role, Bones is an uneven mess and quite simply a bad film. This is a poorly made horror film that has too many clichéd moments from other, better horror films. Bones fails on so many levels that you don't even know were to begin. This is trash, a poorly made horror film that has an interesting story, but is so poorly executed that it ends up being a waste of time. This is a pointless excuse for a horror film and those who green lit this piece of crap should drop out of the filmmaking business. The elements that comprise the story have been overdone so many times and the acting here is plainly horrible. A waste of time is the best way to describe this poorly crafted horror yarn. This is a stupid film lacking anything creative about its story and the acting is plainly awful. Well, what do you expect from Snoop Dogg, he's a terrible "artist" his music sucks, and his acting sucks even more. He should retire altogether because he's plainly a horrible "musician" and "actor". This film is terrible, the acting is terrible and the story has been done many times before, and better done as well. A terrible horror film that only Snoop fans will enjoy and I don't even know why. As a diehard fan of the genre, I say avoid this film like the plague. Bones is one mess that really can't get cleaned up. |

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer 1998, R)
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is a poorly made sequel to a very poor film. Both films are pointless with bad acting, story and poor attempts at scaring the audience. Teen horror films were crap for the exception of Scream. This sequel proves that much. This is a bad film with nothing entertaining about it. The cast is terrible and the story is a plain joke. It's no wonder that most of the cast are forgotten nowadays because they suck at acting. This is yet another bad attempt at cashing on an original film that wasn't good in the first place. This is a film that scrapes the bottom of the barrel and lingers around trying to figure out what it wants to do. This is one of the worst horror films ever made, and I've seen some bad ones and, this film just takes it to a whole new low. A terrible, misconstructed film that has nothing going on, maybe except to bore the hell out of the audience. It's no wonder why these films are in the discount bin of so many retail stores. They're terrible. If you love horror, don't watch this travesty. These films represent the lowest point in horror history along with others such as Urban Legends. This is simply a poorly made horror film that should be avoided by every fan of the genre. |

The Grudge 2 2006, PG-13)
The Grudge 2 is yet another sequel to a terrible remake. Where to begin? Like in the first Grudge, the film is plagued with cheap scares, and relies on their special effect to create its "horror", well that doesn't work. If you've read my reviews on horror films, I've stated numerous times that its atmosphere, not special effects that helps create an effective, chilling horror film. The Grudge 2 like its predecessor has the elements absent from the story, and you get a cheap, unscary horror film that tries to scare you by having cheaply done jump scares. If done properly, you can get away with it and still have a great horror film. But with these remakes, they rely on exclusively on that to create the tension. I like atmosphere in my horror films, not cheap jump scares camouflaged with great special effects. The Grudge 2 fails to deliver genuine scares and above all, a great story. Not only that, but the film lacks any good acting. I hate remakes with the exception of a few, and the reason why they are terrible is that the filmmakers try duplicate the original while creating something refreshing that will appeal to the new brain dead audience that think films like this is actual horror. Well, it's not. A terrible film with awful acting, story and minimalistic scares make this a pointless sequel to a remake of a very good Japanese horror film. A shame. I just hope one day, Hollywood gets a reality check and realize how shitty these films are. Avoid if you love true horror. |

The Grudge 2004, PG-13)
If a bag of garbage was a film, then The Grudge remake would be it. What this remake is a pure crap fest from beginning to end, a film that relies on cheap scares to create its tension, and signs of old school atmosphere you'd expect from a good horror film are gone. American remakes tend to strip away the effective scares that have made the original films so good. This is the case with The Grudge. Everything about the film is so poorly constructed that it be seen as a documentary on how NOT to make a horror film. The acting in this film is terrible and the story is poorly developed and has nothing really going on. This remake is plainly a horrible mess of a film. I hated this film because it lacked anything that makes a horror film memorable. There are some good remakes in the horror genre, but The Grudge is one of many bad films that have been remade to cash in on the original. Everything about this film is terrible, acting, story and above all, scares. A good horror film has atmosphere to develop its horror, and the classics relied on that. But with these remakes of Japanese films, filmmakers rely on special effects to create tension, and I feel as a horror fan, it cheapens the look of the picture. Sure the film looks good, but it's still cheap compared to the horror classics. That proves that no amount of special effects can make an effective horror film. The Grudge is a poorly made film with bad acting and crap scares. |

I Know What You Did Last Summer 1997, R)
1996 onwards saw the great Teen horror boom made famous by Wes Craven's Scream. A year later, they decided to create this mess and basically using the template of Scream as guide on creating a new trend of hip and cool horror films. Well these "horror" films fail to capture the essence of old school horror. Scream is an exception because it had so many homage's and clichés to the genre that it was fun to watch. But this? This is pure trash. Semi decent idea for a story ruined by a poor cast, acting and directing. I Know What You Did Last Summer is a poor excuse for a horror film, and I've never seen anything as bad as this. Yeah, ok maybe Urban Legends and its equally dreadful sequel. I Know What You Did Last Summer is a poorly executed horror film that should be avoided by every horror fan. This film is just a poor attempt at cashing in on the success of Scream, at least Scream was fun, but this film is plainly bad. The actors here are forgettable and they pathetic in their attempt at "acting". This was one of the worst years for so called "horror" films. This is a stupid piece of garbage that the only reason it was marketed to teens is because they would think it would be cool. Well, these films haven't stood the test of time like the horror gems of the past. |

Urban Legends: Final Cut 2000, R)
Sequel to Urban Legends is just as bad as the original. What is it with these films? These films are cool for the first two years they're released, and after that, people realize how bad these films were. In the case of Urban Legends: Final Cut, you have a film that is very poorly made, acted, directed with a paper thin story. The cast that are before the camera are terrible, and shouldn't be in acting in the first place. Those who actually have slight talent; I wonder why they would be in this piece of trash. The first Urban Legends sucked, and this sequel is just as bad as the original. This is another terrible attempt at creating a new, hip "horror" film for the brain dead MTV generation. But really, this is a stupid film that has no point. It's a good thing that teen horror films such as this, gave way to better, much scarier films like 28 Days Later. This film along with the first and a lot of others in the "teen" horror genre are easily forgettable because they don't offer anything memorable to the genre in the first place. Urban Legends is a horrid mess of a film that shouldn't have been made in the first place. Simply awful filmmaking. |

Pulse 3 2008, R)
I really don't know why they keep making these trashy sequels to an already bad remake. Oh wait the money. Pulse has nothing going for it to make it truly interesting. The only thing that's going for it is how awful it can get. Well for the series this is an awful third entry with nothing interesting. The script is awful, the scares are cheap, with nothing creative about them, and the film looks very low budget. Of course straight to DVD titles will always suck, but on the rare occasion they'll be one that stands out as actually quite good, unfortunately, Pulse 3 doesn't do that whatsoever. This is a stupid franchise, and these sequels and remake included are pointless and an insult to the original work. They really should get a hint that these films suck. Hollywood should focus on quality, not quantity. These films are awful and have nothing creative about them. The actors are crap, the directing is awful and everything else is out of place. These films should've never been made in the first place. I really don't understand the point of making awful sequels to an already awful remake. Do yourself a favor, watch something other than this trash, I found it's more of the same than the first two films in this dreadful series and it doesn't pay off. Avoid it. |

Pulse 2: Afterlife 2008, R)
Pulse 2:Afterlife is an awful sequel to an awful remake. This sequel is a collection of recycled ideas from the first and it adds nothing new to the plot of the franchise. All it does is make the viewer frustrated with what he's watching. This is a pointless attempt at making money off a poorly made sequel. The film has a poorly constructed storyline with a bad cast of actors. The film relies on its special effects to create the tension, and in this case, they're not that good looking. The film looks cheaply made, its standard direct to DVD fare and the film is plainly awful. I really don't understand the meaning of doing a sequel to an already bad film. The first one was crap, so naturally, the second will be. There's absolutely nothing going on that will interest the viewer, and watching paint dry is more interesting than this piece of garbage. This is a film that has no merits in trying to deliver something scary on screen, because, well it doesn't and it fails in doing so. This film scraps the bottom of the barrel, and is an absolute waste of time, and this is a film that should've never been made. Awful. |

Pulse 2006, PG-13)
What is the deal with remaking excellent horror films? The films are terrific to begin with. There's nothing wrong with them, the only thing is that the American Studios want to cash in on the remake because they're so greedy and don't give a shit about destroying classics. With the remake of Kairo, now titled Pulse, we get just that. The film is a recipe for disaster. There is nothing good to be found within. The entire film is waste of Celluloid and it's just a big stylish special effects extravaganza. A good horror film uses atmosphere to build its horror, but this remake uses special effects, and it works badly. Although not as bad as the sequels, Pulse is still a sloppily made horror remake that just doesn't cut. The acting, story and directing are all terrible, and there's nothing going on that will appeal to the diehard horror fan. This is a pointless, awful remake of great film and it scraps the bottom of the barrel when it comes to trying to outdo the original. On the rare occasion a remake works, but 97% of the time, it doesn't. One reason they fail is because they never capture the essence, the creativity, the richness of the original film. Pulse is yet another awful horror remake and it doesn't work whatsoever. Luckily, it will be forgotten in the next ten years. |

Spawn 1997, PG-13)
I remember seeing this in the theatre and liking it. However as the years past by, I realized how lame this film really is. Spawn is the perfect example of a film that was a missed opportunity. By today's standards, the film looks dated like hell. I think its really too bad that this had to happen, because the idea of Spawn is really a cool one. But the result of the film is one that leaves very mixed emotions about the finished product. I think it's a great shame because the concept of Spawn is terrific. The so called "talent" that graces the film is absolutely wasted and a lot of it is very silly. Also the special effects look like crap, and the film looks like crap overall. I know the film is nearing fifteen years old, and all that CGI was advanced back then. But with a plateau of action films that have since been released, well Spawn looks awful by comparison. The film is a mix of action and horror, and sometimes offbeat, eccentric humor. This could have been something really, really cool. But instead it's a dud. I watched a few years back, and I was appalled at how bad the film was. Well there were a few cool things about it, but for the most part, the film is terrible. The acting and story are quite sloppy, and it makes you realize that this film is in dire need of a reboot. The filmmakers had a terrific opportunity to do something great, but it falls flat and the film ends up being forgettable. This is a dated action horror film with bad acting, a bad script and is simply a wasted opportunity to have created one terrific film. Spawn doesn't work, and it really does show its age. |

Van Helsing 2004, PG-13)
Where to begin with Van Helsing? The film lacks anything good, and the film relies purely on special effects to create a striking visual portrait. Unfortunately you cannot hide from the poorly developed, clichéd story filled with every vampire stereotype in the book. I felt that Van Helsing pure crap. A mindless, action horror film that has nothing going for it. The film breaks tradition, and not in a good way. The acting here is poor, and the script is equally poor. The story could have been much better and there was potential for this film to be something truly great. But it fails and it doesn't do anything aside from providing a good visual style, and that's not enough to save this lackluster film. As a diehard fan of vampire films, I thought this film missed the mark; it broke so many rules and made vampires look stupid. Along with Twilight, Van Helsing is a mockery of the vampire lore, and it doesn't try to do anything amazing that will entertain the viewer. I thought this film was a failure both as a vampire film, and as an action film. Though the film looks good, it's not enough to create something effective on screen. I can't believe some of the praise this film has gotten. Good visuals should be accompanied by a good story, if this was the case with this film, then it might've worked, but it's a poorly made film with a bad story, bad acting and bad directing. If you love old school vampire and monster films, pass up on this one, there's nothing good about it. |

Real Steel 2011, PG-13)
At first when I saw the trailers to this film, I thought it was going to be a horrible film. However, after a while, Real Steel peaked my curiosity. The reviews for this film were pretty good, so I finally decided to check it out. This film definitely surprised me, and it turned out to be better than what I had originally expected. Real Steel may lack any effective acting, but it more than makes up for it with a good plot, good action and overall solid directing. I very much enjoyed the film, and the film surprised me. The best way to describe the film is a popcorn action flick with heart. Directo Shawn Levy crafts a good film that will hold your attention from start to finish. I was dead wrong thinking this film would be horrible. The film is far from perfect, but for the most part, it's very well done, lots of fun and always thrilling. The special effects are great, and it's just so much fun watching robots kick the crap out of each other. Not only is Real Steel mindless action of fun, but at its centre there's a solid father son storyline that elevates this film immensely. Real Steel is mindless fun with a good heart and it delivers good entertainment. This is a film that exceeded my expectations, I didn't think I would like it and it surprised me that it did. I very much enjoyed the film, and if you're looking for a good mindless action film with a good heart, then Real Steel is the film for you. |

Armageddon 1998, PG-13)
Michael Bay's third feature is a loud mess of a film. What do you expect from a Michael Bay film, right? The surrounds a group of roughneck oil driller who are sent into space to destroy an asteroid the size of Texas. Like with every Michael Bay flick, aside from The Rock and Transformers, this film relies heavily on the special effects to tell its story. I guess all of Bay's films are like that, at least The Rock and Transformers had a few good elements for a story, and it worked. But with the case with Armageddon, the film doesn't work. I felt the acting was corny, the dialogue was poorly written and that some of the actors' performances were a bit over the top. The film was a disappointment and really hasn't stood the test of time for me. This is really a shame, because the idea of the film was good, and if it would've been helmed by some other director, it might have been a wonderful film. But it was helmed by Michael Bay, and he's really good for one thing, blowing shit up as my aunt says. You get just that with Armageddon, plenty of noisy explosions with little character development and below decent acting. Some actors here are plainly wasted, other not so much, as they suck. If you're looking for a similar film with an almost similar plot, give Deep Impact a shot, not this one. At least Deep Impact had genuine human emotion and very good performances, while this film suffered from over acting, a bad script and way, way too many special effects. When your film relies only on CGI, then you have a problem and it moist cases it works well, but in the case of Armageddon, it doesn't. Due to the fact that the acting and story aren't that excellent to begin with. |

Bad Boys II 2003, R)
Sequel to the lame, unimpressive Bad Boys is a terrific mess of a film that has nothing good going on, on screen. The film lacks power, and knows it's an action film, but this is terrible. The performances are bad and the directing is plainly awful. I really don't know why Bad Boys II was made. I always felt that this was a poor attempt at creating a buddy cop action comedy, and it fails. The talent, if you can call it that is wasted on screen. The plot is terrible, and the actions scenes are sloppy. In Michael Bay's long illustrious cinematic career, there has been only two films of his that truly delivered. Bad Boys and this sequel isn't one of them. I absolutely hated this film and it was really bad. The acting and script were terrible. I view these films as a rip off of the Lethal Weapon films, though the Lethal Weapon films weren't excellent, in fact they were cheesy, at least most of them had an elaborate plot. Something that these two films lack. I hated this film, and I thought it was pointless to make. This is yet another Michael Bay that is totally and poorly conceived. Some of the cast actually do have talent, Peter Stormare, Joe Pantoliano and Will Smith are great, but the rest? Oh man, could they use acting school. Bad Boys II may entertain, but the films finished result is one that lacks real spark that has some of the cop genre so special in the first place. |

The Matrix Revolutions 2003, R)
Considering that the first Matrix film was so good, and the sequel was average, you'd expect the third entry of this franchise to be good, right? Well with this third entry, we mostly get a disappointment. Everything that has made the first film good is gone. Whatever ideas that remained from the second film are watered down, and most of it is plainly terrible. The acting is fairly awful as well, the cast is wasted on such a pitiful script. The second Matrix film was cool and had a few good elements going on that made it watchable, but compared to the first, the sequels, especially this one are terrible and really shouldn't have been made. This was a mediocre third film to a terrific first film. I really was disappointed at what I saw in this film. Everything seemed out of place, and the film ended up being quite boring, instead of exciting. The first film will always be seen as a Special effects milestone, a film that changed the Action genre forever. This is a great shame that the trilogy had to end on such a dismal, laughable note. This third entry is bad and is very much forgettable. If you're a fan of the first Matrix, then you'll most likely hate this one as it tends to destroy the experience of the first. The ideas in this film are ridiculous and don't work. A terrible waste of time that should be avoided as it just frustrates you and makes you wish you'd spend your time doing something better. |

Case 39 2010, R)
Case 39 had a promising start, bur once you realize how the events play out; the film is just recycled ideas from many other possessed child films. The film doesn't do anything refreshing and it's a shame because it started off well. But about forty five minutes in, you realize how ill conceived the film really is. I was very disappointed with this film, and I thought they could've done something very good with the direction of the plot, but unfortunately, it practically had to copy "The Exorcist" and "The Omen" in many respects. Case 39 is a wasted opportunity to create something truly scary, and it misses the mark on so many levels. One of the films weakest links is actress Renee Zellwegger, I find her to be a terrible actress and she brings this film down. The film is very predictable, and though it got off on a good start, as the film unwinds you realize how silly it is. Case 39 is a terrible film that uses too many clichés to try and developed its plot. While doing so, the film fails and it makes the viewer want to turn it off. Case 39 is a film that has nothing new, it recycles old ideas that we have previously seen in other films and the predictability of this is what makes this a bad film to watch. Not only with that, but with Zellwegger's bad acting as well. Case 39 could have been a good horror film, if it didn't go down the "demon child" path as a few films have done in the past. But like I said, this is a film that uses recycled ideas, and it just ends being a bore. Case 39 is an unimpressive film that lacks substance, a good cast and above all, a good story. This film is a very bad one that if you're a horror fan, should avoid. |

Spider-Man 3 2007, PG-13)
Spiderman 3 is quite possible the worst of the three films (if you can believe that) the first was decent, the second mediocre, and third is simply awful. This third entry is a silly, pointless third film, and it doesn't deliver anything really entertaining. Sam Raimi's credibility as a good director, I believe is tarnished by the Spiderman films. As they never were that good to begin with. This third film has an awful story with pretty poor acting. This film scraps the bottom of the barrel, and it feels like they were struggling with finding a good idea for a film. What they come up with here is laughable, and the film doesn't work whatsoever. This is yet another example of an awful sequel, and it's really a shame, because this trilogy could have been something great. Instead, the Spiderman films are a joke. This third entry is the worst of three films, and feels like they were struggling with the material that they had come with for this film. The concept behind this film is terrible and I question as to how Sam Raimi, once a promising talent after making The Evil Dead, has fallen like this. I guess these films aren't meant to be anything special, because in the end, they're forgettable, but above all this one is laughable. The action scenes were sloppy, and way too over the top for me. A ruined series that had the potential to be something terrific. If you've seen the first two films, avoid this poorly crafted third entry. |

North 1994, PG)Every director suffers from one very bad film throughout his career in the case of Rob Reiner, that film is North. I remember watching this film when I was younger, and not liking it at all. I got the idea of the film back then, but now over fifteen years after this film was released, this film has absolutely no merit in entertainment. One thing that's shocking is that the film has a very good cast, but not even that can save this shameful film from disaster. The reason the film is bad, is the films premise. A boy divorces himself from his parents to find better parents. Hell, parents aren't supposed to be cool, they're the authority figure, and though most are very strict in many respects, a lot of them compensate by being fair. Hell I was brought up with that. I think that this film spits in the face of parents, and not only that, it insults the viewers intellect, and tries to say that their parents aren't worth a damn. This film isn't Rob Reiner's brightest career move, and that's a great shame because he's made some classics over the course of his career. This is the worst possible family film that you can possibly watch. I was a kid when this film came out, and I remember how bad this was. A good cast is wasted on such a terrible film, it's a great shame, because there's some impressive names attached to this piece of trash. |

The Fast and the Furious 2001, PG-13)
The Fast and the Furious is a mildly entertaining decent action film about car racing. The film definitely lacks anything good, so if you watch this, don't expect anything good, intelligent, and thoughtful. I felt that that The Fast and the Furious followed the same trend as Point Break, except the only difference is that Point Break had great acting, awesome action, and a cool idea for a film. But this film a film that has no substance to its material and relies only on its car racing scenes, which make the film a tad more interesting. Other than that, this is a forgettable film, with nothing exciting. The acting is terrible, and this is probably the film with the best example of some of the worst actors ever to be on screen in ONE movie. The acting and dialogue delivery is wooden, and forced. The two leads Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are terrible and the only thing that's entertaining about this film is the races. The story is copied from many other films and this type of formula has been done before, maybe not with cars, but with other plot devices as the backdrop for the film. The Fast and the Furious is a forgettable action film that has some cool cars, but not enough story development to make this a worthwhile addition to the action genre. The Fast and the Furious doesn't really deliver anything great or new to the screen for that matter. I'll stick with Point Break instead. I'm glad I never checked out the sequels to this film. |

The Beach 2000, R)
The Beach started off well enough and it kept my interest until the middle. After that, the film went down hill, and I felt that performances were too wooden and boring. This film had potential, and considering Danny Boyle made this, you'd expect something terrific. But the film just ended up being a total waste of time. What's really a shame is that there's a great cast that star in this film, but not even them can hold this picture together. I think it's a shame, because The Beach started off in such a way that you thought the film would end on a high note. Alas, it was not to be. The ending was awful, and it ruined everything that was good about the film. The Beach looses its fire halfway through the film, and the story becomes ridiculous. I think The Beach missed the mark in terms of effective storytelling, and it's apparent that the filmmakers are struggling with the material at hand because the end result is a film that misses the mark. I had high hopes for this film, and I was let down. This is not Danny Boyle's finest hour that's for sure. There's a good cast at work here, but because of the script obvious limitations, no one can really deliver on screen. The result is a film that tries too hard to entertain and result is a mediocre film that fails to keep you interested till the very end. I found myself struggling to finish watching this, and once I did finish it, I asked myself, why did I even bother? A good cast is wasted here, and a potentially good story is absolutely ruined by a terrible second half that makes the first half obsolete. |

The Cave 2005, PG-13)
I view The Cave as a bad rip-off of the superior British horror film, The Descent. The Cave basically follows the exact same path, except its a lot less inspired. The film is so not inspired that it's ridiculously stupid with actors who over do it, and they try to create something horrifying and tense on screen. If you've seen The Descent, you've seen this one. A badly acted film riddled with clichés from every possible horror film. I thought that this film was a pure waste of time because it didn't do anything good with its plot. The film relied on clichés the whole time, and the film was predictable. The horror was so poorly done that it was laughable. I thought that it was one of the films biggest flaws, aside from the terrible acting from the "actors". The film had no effective atmosphere, and thus it killed the feel of the overall film. The Descent was genuinely frightening, but this is laughable. The performances were terrible too. I had a hard time with the awful acting, and I really didn't care who lived or died in the film. I just thought this was a pointless attempt at horror and it was terrible. This is one of the worst horror films that I had the misfortune of seeing. This is a bad horror film plain and simple, and it doesn't have anything interesting going on, on screen. This recycles old ideas that we've seen from previous horror films, and it's nothing exciting or interesting for that matter. Just a film to steal your money away. |

Hocus Pocus 1993, PG)
Hocus Pocus is a film that definitely shows its age. The film was fun back when it was first released, but as the years go by, you realize how bad this film. I thought that the cast was terrible, and as a family film, Hocus Pocus is an irritating film that definitely looks dated by today's standards. Since its release, there has been a plateau of better acted and original family oriented movies. This film wasn't really my cup of tea, and now, I find the film to have not aged nicely. Everything about the film seems out of place. Now over a decade later, Hocus Pocus is one of those "family" films that hasn't stood out above the rest. Like I previously stated, Hocus Pocus has been obscured by better family films since then, and this title has practically been obscured. Hocus Pocus has the misfortune of being a really good film to watch, only when you're a kid. The film doesn't hold up like so many other films you grew up with. Of all the films that I grew up with, Hocus Pocus remains one of the worst, most idiotic and above all forgettable films that I've seen when I was younger. I'm not hatin' on the fans, and it's cool if you've enjoyed this, but for me; this isn't a family film that stood out. I find the cast don't deliver anything great on screen, with most performances are quite frankly over the top. Unfortunately as a "witch" movie, I felt that Hocus Pocus didn't cut it. I'll stick with Andrew Fleming's The Craft, a far more superior witch film. Hocus Pocus is the type of film that has lost its vigor after all these years. This film was terrific back when it was first released, unfortunately, its not one of those films that has stood the test of time. |

Domino 2005, R)
If you're looking for one of Tony Scott's worst films, then your best bet is watching Domino, a fictionalized film about real life bounty hunter, Domino Harvey. The film had potential of being something cool, and hype. But Tony Scott's style of filmmaking is overused to the fullest here, and it's very irritating for the eyes. Starring Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke and Edgar Ramirez, Domino is an over the top action film with headache inducing cinematography this film tried to be Natural Born Killer, but it failed. The performances on screen suffer because of a bad script, and it shows. The film is laced with bad dialogue, half assed action scenes that are very noisy, it feels almost as if Michael Bay directed this. Tony Scott has used to the same style of cinematography for plenty of his previous works and a bit for his most recent one, Unstoppable, but man did he go over board with Domino. The story is all over the place, and the film, though stylized, ends up being a failure due to a bad story, bad character development and over used cinematography that really does confuse the viewer. Domino could have been a terrific film, but every element in the film seems out of place, and just feels cheap. Domino is a bad stylish film that is somewhat entertaining, but very, easily forgettable. One of Tony Scott's worst. |

Four Brothers 2005, R)
I felt that Four Brothers was nothing new in terms of a good action revenge film. The story itself has already been told a dozen times before, and this film is pure clichés in that respect. What's really a downer with this film is that the film starts off with a bang, but then it treads similar territory as most revenge flicks, and doesn't try anything exciting to thrill the viewer. Instead you have a predictable story, of which the viewer knows the outcome right off the bat. The films builds is contrived, instead of naturally progressing the story to give the viewer a sense of intrigue, mystery and above all keep him interested in the film. I found myself being bored watching this film, and couldn't wait for the film to be over. Another point that really annoyed me was the overacting on the part of its actors. None of them delivered a good performance, and Four Brothers ended up being a boring, predictable film that had no redeeming elements to make the film watchable. I felt that Four Brothers was a missed opportunity, and maybe if it had a better cast and script; this film could have been better. Instead this film fails at delivering a really good revenge film, and it fails at being too predictable, even by revenge film standards. The ideas used here, have already been done before, and there is absolutely nothing interesting or appealing in this film. If you want a terrific action revenge film, you won't find it here. Four Brothers is a film to avoid. |

Ocean's Thirteen 2007, PG-13)
Third part of the Ocean's Eleven series of crime film is a boring, uninspired awful film that I had to force myself to watch. I almost needed a pot of coffee to keep me awake. I felt that the filmmakers missed the mark on this one, and the result was a film that tried too hard at being an effective crime film. The film ended up being a bore fest for me. I thought that they rushed things in this film. The acting in this third film felt wooden, and I think it's a great shame that some over did it, as there's a terrific cast at hand here, but because of poorly conceived script, the film never does take off, and when it does; it feels silly. I felt that the film was tiresome with the actors trying to outdo themselves after two previous films, thinking they would deliver the best entry yet. Unfortunately, that wasn't to be. What you have here in this entry, is a film that's the worst of the three films, and not even the great Al Pacino, even though he gives a great performance; can save this film. I did not enjoy this film, and I felt it could have much better. Ocean's Thirteen is a terrible and forgettable third entry, and it's not as good as the first film, even though the second one was mediocre, at least it was entertaining, and it didn't feel like the filmmakers were overdoing it. If you enjoyed the first film, pass up on this one. |

Mr. & Mrs. Smith 2005, PG-13)
Mr. & Mrs. Smith had an interesting premise for a film, but unfortunately the film misses the mark on so many levels. I thought that the idea for the film was terrific, but the film was overall a terrible waste of time. I felt that everyone in this film was wasted, and some talent that was involved in this film was questionable, not that it matters because the film was a waste of time altogether. The only real talented actor here is Brad Pitt, and I felt he really didn't deliver anything great on screen. I'd say that this was one of his worst films. Considering that this was made by the same director who made the stellar Bourne Identity, you'd expect something terrific with this film. But I thought the film was a mess, and the script and acting was terrible. I think it sucks because like I said, the film had potential to be something totally great, but it's a mediocre film going experience that makes you wonder why they made this film in the first place. Yes, at times the film is entertaining, but it doesn't redeem the overall film from its mediocrity. This is a poorly made action film, and one of Doug Liman's worst films. I felt that some performances were so over the top, that I couldn't enjoy the film, and in the end, I felt like I wasted my time with this film. The idea might've been good, but the script, story development, acting and directing were all very sloppy in the long run. The film didn't work, and it overall a stupid film. |

Wild Wild West 1999, PG-13)
Wild Wild West is a very poorly executed action film. Barry Sonnenfeld only has one good film under his belt (Men in Black) and the rest are garbage, but Wild Wild West takes the cake as his worst yet. I've seen such an awful film. This film is so poorly crafted, that you wonder how this ever got the go ahead. Everything about this film is terrible. The acting, the story and directing. Sonnenfeld really isn't a good director, and he's made more bad films than good one. Wild Wild West is a strained film that tries too hard at delivering something to the audience. The only problem is, is that this film bores the viewer to death. I remember watching this film and it was very boring. The film is pure crap. What's surprising is the amount of good actors in this film, Ted Levine, Kenneth Branagh for one have impressive resumes. I wonder why these established and talented actors decided to star in this awful mess. This film insults the Western films of old, and makes a mockery of the genre. Maybe with a better script this film could've worked. It's like Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, no one thought that it would be good, but guess what? It was. This could have been a top notch action film with a different director and of course script, but scriptwriters to capture what was fun about the original Westerns of the 60's, and above all the TV show it was based on. This film is a waste of time, and an awful action film from a not so good director. |

Gone in 60 Seconds (Gone in Sixty Seconds) 2000, PG-13)
Remake of the film of the same name, Gone in 60 Seconds is an entertaining film, but lacks so much in everything else. The film delivers on the action, but it lacks any story depth, and a good cast (aside from a few actors, the talent here is awful). The film fails to capture the essence of the original (which was a decent flick, but only worthy to watch for its chase scene that nearly spans the entire film). I felt that this film lacked anything good to truly make something extremely thrilling, and memorable. The problem I had with Gone in 60 Seconds was the acting, and story. The film isn't too thrilling and has a predictable plot that doesn't really satisfy. Like many reviewers have stated, the only great thing about the film is the cars. I love that Mustang in the film, and along with Bullitt's Ford Mustang GT390, its one of the sexiest Mustangs in film. But that's really where it ends. Gone in 60 seconds is simply a mess of a film with bad acting, and not even the car chase could save this picture. The film was entertaining, but it lacked too much substance to make it worth watching. I've seen the film when it first came out, and didn't think much of it. If you want the best car chase film, watch Bullitt instead. The remake for Gone in 60 Seconds is a failed attempt at delivering a wicked car chase film to the screen. This film could have been great, but with a lacking plot, bad acting and bad directing, the film is forgettable. |

Poseidon 2006, PG-13)
Remake of The superb disaster film The Poseidon Adventure is a horrible mess of a film. I really think that Wolfgang Peterson has made the worst film of his career with this film, and as far as an action film is concerned, there's absolutely nothing great about it. All the characters are pointless, idiotic and annoying. The acting is awful and the directing, well like I said, this is Peterson's worst effort to date. Everything about this film feels wrong. I thought the film didn't really live up to anything, and you end up not caring if the characters live or die. I felt that the cast was awful and there's nothing to redeem the film. The film really relies on its nifty special effects, and beyond that, there's nothing else. There's no consistency to the material, and I became bored after a while. After a while, I really didn't care for this film and I wondered why I kept watching it. The only thing going for it is the special effects. There's no genuine human drama like we felt in the original and I don't understand why they made this horrid film. Another wasted, unnecessary remake. Considering that the first film is such a classic, this remake spits in its face. A horrible film with nothing good, but a good sense of visuals. Disaster films aren't really good anymore, and remaking The Poseidon Adventure is quite the disaster, in fact, this very remake is the exact definition of a disaster film. A horrible waste of time. |

The Holiday 2006, PG-13)
Wow, simply wow. This film was bad. Getting my wisdom teeth extracted was enjoyable than this (and I had five yanked out). The Holiday is a total mess of a film. There are three talented actors here; Jude Law, Eli Wallach and Kate Winslet, and the rest are crap. Not even Eli Wallach could save this film. This film was a horrid mess of a film, and the story was terrible, I hated this film, and it's the type of film that you wished could be unmade, kind of like Juno, which was terrible beyond belief. The Holiday is a pointless excuse of a film, and it doesn't work. The film fails to entertain, and provide you with anything interesting. The film is filled with clichés that we've seen a hundred times before. Did I mention that the rest of the cast aside from the three I mentioned, are terrible. The Holiday is one of the worst films that I've seen, and there's nothing going on for. The film doesn't work whatsoever and it just ends up being boring. Really boring in fact. I don't know how I was able to finish this dreadful film, as I could've walked away, but I didn't because I told myself that it would get interesting. It didn't an awful film that you want to forget, The Holiday is simply put a waste of time, I've never hated a film this until Juno and Passchendaele. I thought this was a film that missed the mark and it definitely is a film to avoid. A terrible cast and not even the good actors could save this train wreck. Avoid this film, the script, story and acting was terrible. There's nothing good to be had in this film. |

Home Alone 3 1997, PG)
Considering that the first two films are family film classics, this third entry is an abomination. The film is so poorly made, and scripted, that you can't get into the film. The acting is terrible, and the cast do a terrible job at delivering good performances. Forget it; there are no good performances here. There are only bad performances here. What's surprising about this film is that John Hughes wrote the script, and he made some phenomenal films back in the day, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and he also wrote the first two Home Alone films, and made other memorable drama and comedy films. Well, those looking for a good John Hughes written film will definitely be disappointed with this entry to the fun Home Alone franchise. There's nothing good to be had here, only a waste of time. This film was awful, bad and every word you can describe a piece of garbage. On the poster a critic said "It's better than the first two!" uh no it's not. This film is a travesty. I can't believe that John Hughes wrote this. The film is bad. The plot sucks, the acting sucks and everything that made the first two films great are absent. All you have is dull, recycled ideas and there's nothing interesting. There's none of the fun from the first two. If you've seen the first two, and haven't seen this one; you're one of the lucky ones. You're definitely not missing out on anything good; in fact you're avoiding an awful film, and if you've enjoyed the first two, simply stay away from this crap film. |

Wedding Crashers 2005, R)
I felt that Wedding Crashers was a very sloppy comedy. You a good actor (Christopher Walken) and a good actress (Jane Seymour) in this film that after multiple viewing, really doesn't stand out. The main characters are played by Vince Vaughn, whom I hate and who only has one good film under his belt, and Owen Wilson. They could've picked a better set actor here. The film isn't funny really, and I felt like the film tried too hard. Will Ferrell's cameo is pretty funny however. But Wedding Crashes that even though you have Walken in the film, and he is probably the only funny actor here along with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately the film doesn't stand out as a great comedy. The banality of the film is really what makes it forgettable. After the first two viewings, Wedding Crashes humor really becomes old fast. You end up finding the characters annoying, but in my case, luckily that Christopher Walken is one of my favs, He always made me smile. Unlike The Hangover or Tropic Thunder, which are very funny; Wedding Crashers just doesn't hold up and that's why this film doesn't stand out as great comedy. Wedding Crashers has its funny moments, but after a while, the film wasn't funny anymore. This is the type of film, for me anyways that doesn't really stand above other comedies. The film was funny the first two times I saw it, but it just got tiresome after a while. Considering that since then, there have been better comedy films; Wedding Crasher is easily forgettable. |

Hitch 2005, PG-13)
Hitch is one of the most boring, uninspired romantic comedies that I've seen. Will Smith has done far better films than this trash, but hey, every actor does a bad film every once in a while. For Will Smith, aside from Wild Wild West, another bad film is Hitch. Hitch is a terrible romantic comedy that I felt was very poorly done. I felt that the story, as usual in romantic comedies was predictable and really quite pointless. I thought that the acting was overdone, the jokes were bad, and the film simply didn't work. Hitch is an utter bore fest that really didn't interest me, and overall, there was nothing interesting on screen. I felt that film was a waste, and that every actor was terrible in the parts they played. Hitch is a disappointing feature, and might've worked if the cast would've been better. I absolutely hate Kevin James Hitch isn't any different from any other romance films, aside from the fact now it centered on the male side of getting a date. However, aside from that, like I said the film is predictable, there is definitely nothing new going on, on screen and it doesn't do anything new to entertain the viewer. I've seen this film once, and that was enough. After seeing so potential wasted on screen and the same old ideas recycled over and over again, I wanted my two hours back. This film was awful, and is not worth your time. Hitch follows the same usually romantic comedy formula with an added twist, and it just doesn't work. A terrible pointless film that offers nothing new to the comedy genre. |

The Little Rascals 1994, PG)
The Little Rascals is one of those films that you really enjoy as a kid, but that unfortunately, doesn't stand the test of time. I remember loving this film growing up, and it was fun back then. However now in my adulthood, I'm recalling all the childhood favorites that are still relevant today, and unfortunately, The Little Rascals doesn't live up to that reputation. The film suffers the same curse as other old, amusing family films that were fun when growing up, such as The Flintstones and Hook. They were all fun when I was young, but now, they feel quite pathetic, and inane. Watching this film, you say to yourself, why was this even funny? The jokes are stupid, the acting is awful, and really the film hasn't stood the test of time like so many other childhood classics. I think it's too bad because the film was a lot of fun to watch while growing up. But like I said, the film didn't stand the test of time, and doesn't deserve to be along the classics such as The Sandlot, Toy Story, Casper and E.T. This film is awful. Viewing it now, you realize how stupid it really is, and how pointless the film is. This is one of the few films that I liked when I was younger, that really hasn't aged well for me. The film is pretty stupid nowadays. The Little Rascals is one of those childhood films that you can easily forget about because the film isn't memorable or a classic. My favorite childhood film is The Sandlot, and that film is still a lot of fun today. Some childhood favorites remain relevant and others don't, and The Little Rascals is one of them. A stupid, low humor filled film that you'll be disappointed if you watch again in your adult years. |

XXX 2002, PG-13)
XXX is a stupid, poorly executed action film that doesn't have anything great going for it. I absolutely felt that this was a waste of time. Not even Rammstein's cameo could save this film. The film might've had more potential with a better script and a much better actor. However the film was terrible. The films plot is very thin and very cliché. This was a stupid a poorly made action film that has no redeeming values. The acting and story are plainly horrible. Vin Diesel shows yet again that he has no skill as an actor. This film is a poorly made action film that has nothing good going for it. The film is pretty pointless, and it's pretty sloppy in the way it was made. The film is very silly. I mean an extreme sportsman with a "fuck you" attitude becoming a government operative is too stupid to my liking. I honestly thought that this film would be good, but I was wrong. XXX is yet another bad action film, and director Rob Cohen proves that he can't direct whatsoever. XXX is one of those films that should've never been made in the first place. If you're thinking about seeing the film, don't, it's a waste of time. If you love action films, pass up on this one, there's nothing good going on in the film. Like I said the plot isn't that good, or interesting. The film is a wasted opportunity to do something good, and it fails to hit the mark on so many levels. |

The Village 2004, PG-13)
M Night. Shyamalan's The Village started off with a very good premise. The film was scary, and disturbing, and kept you on the edge of your seat until the twist ending. The Village could have been something terrific, but instead it ends up being a dud. This horror suspense film isn't what it advertises it to be. The film would have been fine just the way it, if it wasn't for the ending. For what is, the first hour was very entertaining, but like I said, the ending ruined the entire film. I felt that Shyamalan had another terrific film under his belt, but alas; it was not to be. The Village ends up being predictable, and near the end you realize what the ending might actually be. Other than the film was well acted, but because of the Shymalan tendency to ruining his films with a twist, the talent involved doesn't save the film from mediocrity. There were some good things about the film, but once everything becomes obvious to the viewer (and it does) you just end up not caring for the film anymore. What was great about Signs was that it had an effective mix of suspense, mystery, thrills and horror to create the tension on screen. Plus the ending wasn't bad whatsoever, and nothing is really explained, not to the fullest at least. But with The Village, everything is explained and it ruins the entire tone of the film. Go in with low expectations so that you're not too disappointed as I was. The Village is a mediocre thriller horror film that doesn't deliver the goods. |

Python 2 (Pythons 2) (Snakes) 2002, R)
Sequel to Python is really an awful mess of a film. Much like the first one, this film tries to rip-off every other killer creature film, and tries to create something cool. The film itself is bad where everything that goes bad does go bad. The film's story is very unimpressive and with the added bonus that it was made by the Sci Fi Channel, you can't expect anything good about this made for TV movie. The first film was mediocre, but kind of fun, but this film is plainly awful. I mean everything green lit and produced by the Sci Fi Channel will always end up with mediocre to bad to awful results. This is the case of Python II, the perfect sequel that should not have been made. Why even make a sequel to a film that wasn't that great in the first place? The cast here do a terrible job, and are pretty bad in their parts. What do you expect from such a bad script? Above all, the filmmakers will get actors who can't act whatsoever to save a few bucks, and they'll create horrific abomination. I find that films like this might've been good if it would have the backing of a major studio and a much better cast. But the film ends up being a boring film to watch, one that really is a waste of time. This is one of the worst nature gone awry films that I have seen. I adore horror films, and seeing the first Python was a mediocre, yet entertaining viewing experience; this film is simply an awful waste of time that makes you wonder why it was made. |

The Twilight Saga: New Moon 2009, PG-13)
Sequel to Twilight is one of the worst films that I have seen. I grew up watching vampire films, and I could believe the crap I was seeing on-screen. This film along with the first and the rest of the series makes a mockery of the once phenomenal vampire genre. New Moon has everything wrong going for it, bad script, bad acting, bad dialogue and above all, stupid story. Fact is, is that this film is garbage. This is a film that strips away everything that was once mysterious and evil with vampires. The vampire lore has been ridiculed with this crap series. Luckily for me, this was my last viewing of Twilight, as swore that never again I would waste my time watching crap like this. New Moon is a boring film that takes far too long to get to the point, and once it gets there, you realize how bad it is, and if you're unlucky, you didn't drift off in the process, but if you're one of the lucky ones that slept halfway through, don't worry, nothing interesting happens. The Twilight films are also a collection of some of the worst actors working today. Kristen Stewart lacks a personality, and always seems bored in the roles she stars in. New Moon is a snore fest. A boring film that doesn't do anything great to the vampire genre, except slap it in the face in an insulting manner. This film is a bad stain in the vampire genre, and it's definitely worst than the first film. If you love real vampire films, avoid this one at all costs. Luckily the new Fright Night destroys this crap series by a long shot. |

Twilight 2008, PG-13)
Twilight has got to be the film that single handedly butchered the vampire genre. Along with the series of the same name, Twilight introduced a new breed of vampire. A vampire that sparkles in the sunlight and is a total wuss. Gone are the evil, mysterious qualities that made vampires ghouls to be afraid of. I remember growing to vampire films such as The Lost Boys and Bram Stoker's Dracula. Those were scary, terrifying films. But not Twilight. Everything you loved about the traditional vampires is gone. Twilight is an insult to the vampire genre. Also every cast member delivers amazingly bad performances and the story is plainly absent, and paper thin. If you include the poor attempt at romance that you see on-screen, then I guess you can call that a story. But really, this is an awful film with no engaging story. The film makes you want to gouge out your eyes, and beg for your two hours back. Twilight felt like a bad joke, and it really is. This is a pointless film with awful acting (but with a cast like this, what do you expect?) If you're a fan of vampire films, don't watch this film, as there's nothing interesting that will to fans of the genre. Like I said, the film strips away everything that made vampire films great. What's left is a vampire film that can be only seen as a joke. Twilight is a film that once you've seen; you'd want to forget about. This is awful filmmaking on a new level. Director Catherine Hardwicke is one of cinema's worst directors and with Twilight she definitely proves it. |

Bridge to Terabithia 2007, PG)
Bridge to Terabithia is one of the worst films that I've seen. I felt that this film was terrible because everything about the film was overdone. The acting and story seemed way too over the top for my taste. I felt that the story was pretty cheesy and overall pretty dumb. The acting was so bad and the film was pretty boring. This film lacks anything engaging and really is a waste of time. Until I saw Passchendaele, this was the worst film I had seen. Bridge to Terabithia is a wasted opportunity and the film fails to entertain. At least, it failed to entertain me. The film was very laughable. This is a film that is plainly a waste of time. I felt that the filmmakers missed the mark with this one, and it really didn't deliver anything entertaining or interesting for that matter. There's absolutely nothing good about this. The story was terrible, and the actors over did it. Bridge to Terabithia is a family film that really doesn't work, and is just pointless to watch. I really didn't enjoy this film, and I think it should've never been made in the first place. This film joins select unfortunate family films that really don't do anything to appeal to anyone. I'm trying to understand why this film is so "good" because it's not. The film is a dud, and I found it to be very boring and dull. |

Inspector Gadget 1999, PG)
Being a fan of the cartoon growing up, I was interested in seeing this. I saw it when it was released, and boy did it suck. This film really scraps the bottom of the barrel. The film has a paper thin plot, a pretty bad cast and above all, bad directing. The film is plainly stupid, and doesn't do anything to thrill the audience. This film is another poor attempt at making a film based on a TV show. Unfortunately the result is a film that is purely stupid. Upon watching this, all I wanted was my hour and twenty minutes back. The plot was bad, and the acting was plainly terrible. Inspector has no redeeming qualities, and you wonder how this crap got made. Aside from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Matthew Broderick hasn't done anything good since, and with this film, his career has sunk to a new low. Inspector Gadget is a terrible film that along with a few other family films such as Thunderbirds should be avoided. This film insults the intelligence, and I found it painful to watch. Inspector Gadget was something neat to watch when I was younger, but as a full fledged live action film, it fails to deliver anything good on-screen. This is one of the worst family oriented films that I have seen, and everything about it is terrible. The acting is awful, and it's understandable with a cast like this. Inspector Gadget doesn't entertain, it frustrates. |

Alexander 2004, R)
Being a die hard history buff, I was quite looking forward to seeing this. Well, when I did I was very disappointed in what I saw. Alexander is a total mess of a film. Everything about the film misplaced. Oliver Stone crafts a film that's based more on fiction than fact. The film is filled with inaccuracies. Considering there is so much documentation on Alexander the Great at hand, you'd think they would at least create a film based on facts, right? But this is Hollywood, so they'll take as much creative liberties as they want without staying true to the historical facts. There are some truly dreadful performances here such as Angelina Jolie and Val Kilmer. Colin Farrell isn't that great either, but he's better than Kilmer and Jolie. Alexander has decent action scenes, nothing great, and the film doesn't really do anything exciting. I thought that Troy was a superior film and that Alexander missed the mark in trying to deliver epic battles scenes. Considering that this film is after all based on Alexander the Great, they could've done something spectacular with the film. Instead, the film misses the mark, and fails to delivers anything grand and interesting on-screen. As a person who's interested in history, I really can't recommend this film because it's really flawed, and above all it has awful acting, and the film drags far too long for this story to be told. If it would've been told right, then the length of this film wouldn't have been a problem, but this is a badly acted and directed mess that just fails to get the facts right. |

When a Stranger Calls 2006, PG-13)
When a Stranger Calls is one of the worst remakes that I have seen. The film has some very bad acting, a bad story and bad directing. As a horror film, When a Stranger Calls fails to deliver effective jolts. The scares are cheap and expected. I thought that this film was awful and I felt like it was a waste of time. This film is pure crap, and as far as remakes are concerned, them being dull and inspired compared to the first, well this one fits the description perfectly. I love horror films, horror films are my passion, my addiction and I was very disappointed in this film. I thought it was purely a waste of time, and celluloid. Remakes are much hit and miss, and this remake misses the mark entirely. The cast and story awful, and you just know how this film will end. The element of surprise, which makes horror films worth seeing, is absent, and thus, this film is very predictable and awful. This film scraps the bottom of the barrel and it's not fun, scary or entertaining. This is yet another unfortunate remake of a classic film that never should have been made in the first place. Hollywood is running out of ideas, and trash like this shows that they're willing to green light anything to make a quick buck. Some remakes are good, effective at delivering scares. However this one fails to deliver, and belongs along with the rest of the horrible sequels in the dollar bin at Wal-Mart. A terrible film, which you're not missing out on. Avoid. |

Scary Movie 4 2006, PG-13)
The Scary Movie franchise, at this point is truly scraping the bottom of the barrel of ideas. This film is not funny whatsoever. I felt like this was a great waste of time. The film uses gross out humor that I found to be in very poor taste, along with popular culture references that were supposed to be "funny", but that failed miserably. What you have here is one of the many spoof films that fails to deliver something actually funny. Scary Movie 4 is along with the other recent spoof films, a bunch of films that fail to deliver anything funny for the viewer. Scary Movie 4 should've never been made in the first place, and is one of the worst spoof films that I have seen. This film is much uninspired and the filmmakers are quite lazy when it comes to delivering something funny. The think popular culture references are funny, well I didn't think so. I felt like this was one of the worst comedies that I've seen, and there was absolutely nothing good going for it whatsoever. This film misses the mark i9n delivering something funny to an audience. Really shitty reviews should be a clue to film studios that their film really sucks. In the case of the Scary Movie franchise, they should've gotten a clue after the first two. This film is a train wreck of a film that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. |

Lost Boys: The Tribe 2008, R)
Being a diehard fan of the first Lost Boys, I had high hopes about this sequel. Boy, was I wrong, this film is terrible. Where to begin? The film takes the exact same plot as the first, recycles it, and changes a few things to make this recycled plot interesting. If you've seen the first Lost Boys, you've seen this one. Of all the horror sequels that I've seen, Lost Boys 2: The Tribe is one of the worst sequels there can be. The plot is predictable, the acting is awful, and the film is just a cash grab that milks the original's reputation. I felt that The Lost Boys was a stand alone film; the film didn't need a sequel. I can't believe that the studio went ahead and made this, as this is tone of the most uninspired films in the horror genre. Lost Boys 2 doesn't do anything interesting, and it travels the same exact road as the first film. There's nothing that will appeal to fans of the first, and watching this will make you realize that you wasted your time. The only good thing about the film was Aiden's cover of Cry Little Sister. I felt betrayed when they butchered this film. There's nothing that I hate more when a studio gets greedy and decides to make a crappy sequel to an excellent film. In the case of The Lost Boys, you get one of the worst possible sequels that you can get. Not even the Frog Brothers could save this one. If you've loved the first film, skip this one; you're not missing out, as this films takes the same story and switches the roles of the characters. Skip it, and forget that this one exists. |

Scary Movie 3 2003, PG-13)
Scary Movie 3 is the third uninspired entry of the Scary Movie franchise. With this third film, the filmmakers have clearly run out of ideas, and wrote this horrid mess of a "comedy". This film is unfunny, stupid and above all, a total waste of time. This has some awful jokes, bad acting, and the failed attempt at "humor" feels forced, unnatural and strained. The actors themselves seemed bored, and not involved in the film. How can they? This third entry plainly sucks. The gags are very bad, and the film tries too hard at being an effective parody, but it's not. This film is really the start at where parody films started being very bad. I found the film to be very stupid, and awful. I hated this third film, and considering I liked the first two, I was very disappointed in what I saw in this film. Spoof films aren't funny anymore, and Scary Movie 3 and 4 along with Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans proves it. Scary Movie 3 is a disappointing and very bad film that you're not missing out on. Watch the first two Scary Movie films, as they do provide a few laughs, but skip on this one and the fourth film. This film is a painful attempt at comedy, and doesn't do anything interesting on-screen. Skip it; you'll be glad you did. |

Pink Panther 2 2009, PG)
Sequel to Pink Panther is just as bad as the first. Steve Martin's inspector Clouseau is unfunny and quite irritating, instead of being funny. I felt that this film missed the mark. This is an awful sequel to an already awful film. I really don't know why this was made. The first film was dreadful. The acting and story felt out of place, and nothing really fit. I had a hard time watching this. I had a hard time finishing it, and when it was over, I was relieved. This film sucked. Everything about it was bad. I usually like Steve Martin, but in this film along with the first film, it was terrible. Just bad. I can't grasp at how bad this one was. The humor is shallow, stupid and really doesn't feel right. The film sets the lowest standards for mediocrity. This is an awful sequel that has some of the most stupid moments that I have seen. I really don't get why this film was made. Steve Martin is painfully annoying in the role of Clouseau, and he makes the film not enjoyable whatsoever. If you've seen the first film, then you don't need to see this film. This sequel is stupid, badly conceived and above all, a waste of time. Avoid this film; you'll be glad you did. There's nothing to be had here except, tired irritating comedy. I've seen such a poorly made comedy since Dumb and Dumberer. The Pink Panther 2 fails to deliver good, genuine laughs. |

The Pink Panther 2006, PG)
The Pink Panther is an awful and unnecessary remake of a classic comedy. Steve Martin is awful Clouseau. The film is terrible with bad acting and a bad attempt at comedy, this film fails at delivering anything clever to the screen. The Pink Panther is yet another remake that fails to hit the mark. I don't know what studio executives were thinking, but this film is a waste of time. Steve Martin is wasted here, and usually he's pretty funny, but not here. In this film, he is painfully annoying. The comedy doesn't work have the time, and the jokes feel lazy and uninspired. Steve Martin should've passed on this role, but he didn't. The Pink Panther is a horrible remake of a great classic. The jokes are childish and unfunny, and the film is forgettable. I hated this film because it offered nothing original and it was just a very bad rehash of the original. This film should've never been made, and this is a poor attempt at creating comedy. The Pink Panther falls flat in terms of bringing good, effective laughs. This is a film that you should avoid at all costs. There is absolutely nothing going on that will appeal to the fans of the original. I disliked this film, and is one of the worst comedy films that I had the misfortune to watch. An awful film with no direction, bad jokes and bad acting. This remake shouldn't have been made. |

The Dukes of Hazzard 2005, PG-13)
Immense failure of capturing what was good about the original TV show, this film adaptation of The Dukes of Hazzard is a terrible mess of a film that doesn't work whatsoever, and is a very poor attempt at trying to make a good comedy. I hated this film and it was a waste of time. The jokes were terrible, and the acting was awful. The story was also very bad. As a remake or adaptation is concerned, The Dukes of Hazzard fails to entertain, and just insults the viewer. The film is uninspired trash and everything about sucks. There is nothing to love about this. Now, in my teens I like the TV show, not a big fan, but I liked the show. However this film doesn't keep the essence of the series, it makes it hip for a young, teen audience, and overall the cast just sucks. This film is terrible, it's crap, and it sure as hell scraps the bottom of the barrel of bad, uninspired ideas. I'm not surprised one single bit that this film is in the 5$ bargain bin at Wal-Mart, the film awful. Hell paying five bucks seems too steep for this piece of trash. This is a stupid comedy that should be avoided at all costs. The Dukes of Hazzard should never have been made, and is one of the worst comedies that you can possibly see. Everything is so out of place, that there's almost nothing related to the original show except the Dodge Charger and the characters names. Aside from that, this is too modern a take on a classic TV show to make it work, and fails due to bad acting, and a very bad attempt at comedic relief. |

Striptease 1996, R)
Striptease was a big miss of a film. The film is a total waste, and has some of the worst performances that I've seen. The film is pretty pointless. The story is paper thin and has no redeeming factor. Not even Demi Moore's nice rack can save this atrocious picture. The cast is very questionable and their performances seem too fake for my taste. This film is awful. There's absolutely no other way to describe it. The performances suffer because the actors are terrible. The film is not engaging one bit, and it's just a big boring attempt at trying to make a good film. Obviously the film has gotten attention for Demi Moore, and it is really the only point of interest of this film. Not even that can save the film. This film is poorly acted, directed with a bad cast and a poor script. Striptease fails to entertain, and though we see Demi Moore's lovely assets, the film has nothing else going for it. A terrible, pointless film that should've never been made. Striptease aside from Demi Moore naked is not a good film; the film lacks a very good story, good story and everything else that makes a film good. I don't understand how this trash got made. A pointless and stupid film, Striptease is not good entertainment and is easily forgettable because the film is so mediocre. An awful film that should be avoided. This film also shows that Demi Moore isn't that good of an actress either. So aside from Moore naked, you're not missing much. If you want to watch it, proceed with caution. One full star for Demi Moore's figure! |

101 Dalmatians 1996, G)
The live adaptation of the classic 101 Dalmatians is simply terrible. The film fails to succeed in capturing the essence of the classic Disney animated version. I felt that the idea was good, but the film lacked so much in terms of quality and elaborate script. The film can be seen as a remake of sorts because it's almost a shot for short film, aside from a few added scenes and updated elements. The cast do their best with the lacking script, but unfortunately their acting can't save the film. Even Glenn Close can't save this film, and she was the best in the film. The film is a disappointment and will most likely disappoint fans of the animated classic. The film is a good attempt, but ultimately it fails, and is one of the worst live action Disney films that I've seen. I really enjoyed the animated film as a kid, but this, this was horrible. 101 Dalmatians is a film that hasn't stood the test of time, unlike the original. This version is too silly, too stupid, and too poorly executed to enjoy., Maybe kids will enjoy, but really as a family film, there are far better family films out than this one, and that includes the superior animated classic. This is a missed opportunity, and it just shows that some films aren't meant to be remade. This film fails to entertain, and when it tries to do something amusing, you just don't care because it's been done better before. A stupid, pointless film that just misses the mark. Awful film. |

The Santa Clause 1994, PG)
As a Christmas film, The Santa Clause for me anyways didn't work. I felt that the film was a dud. Of all the Christmas themed movies, The Santa Clause is one of the worst. I feel that the film hasn't aged well, and though it's a great film to watch as a kid, later on you realize how stupid and pointless this film really is. I don't like the film now, and I find it to be too bad to actually enjoy today. I can think of many Christmas films that are better than this one. Tim Allen usually is pretty funny, but in this film, he seems tired and bored. The film didn't hold up for me, and I found it quite forgettable after viewing it a few times. The film is not as terrific, spectacular or original as everyone claims it to be. For a family film, it's mediocre; there are better films out that the family can enjoy on Christmas. I just felt that the idea behind the story lacked something really great to make this film work. The film hasn't stood the test of time, and the material on-screen is tired and old, and gets annoying after a few viewings. I'll stick with Scrooge and A Christmas Vacation, thank you very much. At least those films have stood the test of time, and are always entertaining, but the Santa Clause is tired, annoying and poorly acted. A pretty bad Christmas film, I honestly don't see what the fuss is about. |

Barb Wire 1996, R)
Barb Wire is just an excuse for studio executives to fill their wallets by casting Pamela Anderson (who was still big back then) in a film that has little substance. Barb Wire is a terrible attempt at an action film and is definitely one of the worst action films that I've ever seen. The film has some of the worst acting possible. Based on a comic book, Barb Wire takes place in the future where the U.S government has fallen and a Fascist military dictatorship has taken over. Barb Wire's plot is pretty thin with poor development. Pamela Anderson is definitely no actress and this film proves it. The only thing that's going for this film is that the film looks great. The sets are awesome and the look of Steel Harbor is wonderful. Unfortunately, that doesn't redeem the film from being a terrible miscalculation. I despised this film, and thought it had nothing interesting to offer the viewer. Barb Wire is a mess, and doesn't work as an effective action film. This is one awful film that just doesn't cut it. The film is sloppy and it plays out like a bad B movie. There are no redeeming aspects of this film. Pamela Anderson is a has been sex goddess and with a role like Barb Wire, studio executives knew how to exploit that to their advantage. Unfortunately, Barb Wire is a piece of trash with nothing going for it. The plot is paper thin, and is virtually nonexistent. Barb Wire is a definite miss! |

Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home 1995, PG)
As far as sequels are concerned, Free Willy 2 is as pointless as they come. The film is terrible, considering that the first was decent. The film doesn't do anything new or exciting and the film is pretty pointless. I don't see why the first needed a sequel. In this film you have a pretty bad cast of actors. I really felt like this film could have been something better, but it wasn't. I felt that the story wasn't that great. The cast seemed to try hard to outdo the original, and they failed miserably. I didn't like this film and I was pretty bored with it. The film is simply awful, and fails to capture what made the original a decent viewing. This sequel is one of the worst that you can see and I just didn't think it was necessary to make. The talent involved is just pitiful and Free Willy 2 is yet another bad sequel in a series of bad sequels. I enjoyed the original when I was younger, and I remember this one quite well too, and like I just stated, it failed to entertain me, and they tried too hard to outdo the original. Free Willy 2 is terrible. Simple as that. The film could have been better, and it shows that it could've been better. The film felt rushed, obviously to cash in on the success of the first, and in the end, it failed to deliver anything entertaining or good for that matter. People, who enjoyed the first film, may want to skip this film because there is nothing going for it that makes it a good film. The plot is poorly written, the acting is bad and the direction is sloppy. A very poor attempt at creating a sequel to what many viewers see as a classic. |

Romeo Must Die 2000, R)
Romeo Must Die is a mess of a martial arts film. This is not a film that will appeal to fans of the genre. The story didn't appeal to me whatsoever, and I felt it was boring, uninspired and not interesting. The cast here are terrible, I've never been a fan of Jet Li, and this film just makes me hate him more. Starring alongside him are other "actors" who can't actually act, but try to any way. This is a terrible cast for a terrible film, and it fits perfectly. Unlike the old school Bruce Lee which had elaborate plots and great acting, and kick ass martial arts; Romeo Must Die fails at everything except delivering "ass kicking" martial arts. Jet Li sucks, and he's no Bruce Lee. Romeo Must Die lacks any real drama, conflict or effective action to keep this film afloat. Despite the fact that this is an action film, I was pretty bored with it because the film was poorly done. I despised the cast, and I felt that they all destroyed the film. Romeo Must Die is a sloppy film that has poorly executed action scenes. Romeo Must Die is not a good Martial Arts film. I'm going to stick with Bruce Lee as the undisputed master of martial arts and of the genre itself. At least his films involved elaborate, well developed plots and had awesome action. But this, this has some action, but marred with poor acting, and poor plot, which in the end, makes this film fail disastrously. I don't like Jet Li, I find him irritating and a bad actor, but at times he does cool stuff on-screen. However, I feel his martial arts aren't up to par with Bruce Lee, and no that is not why this film sucks. The film because the acting is awful, the plot is bad and the direction of the overall film is terrible. It's no wonder that this film has made it into the Bargain bin for 5$. |

Planet of the Apes 2001, PG-13)
Tim Burton's lackluster Planet of the Apes is a definite insult to the original classic. I'm usually a fan of Burton's work, and he's made quite a few classic films. However with this remake, he crafts a film that is boring, uninspired and he tries to camouflage the film lame plot by fancy special effects. Tim Burton has made a dud with this remake. The only good things going for the film are good actors (which unfortunately can't save the movie), and special effects. There is nothing else that is exciting about this film. I'll stick with the original Planet of the Apes. What's really missing in this film is a sense of wonder, mystery and intrigue; the elements that made the original so special and ultimately a classic. Of all the Tim Burton films that I've seen, this is his worst yet. Oh well, every director has a bad film or two up his sleeve, for Burton this is the one. This film could have been a wonderful piece of cinema, instead it was a lazy film that didn't try to give the viewer any sense of wonder or mystery. Looking back since its initial release, Planet of the Apes was a pretty cool flick when it first came out, but it's one of those films that doesn't demand repeated viewers, and when you view it, you realize how pointless it is. You realize that it's a film with great special effects, and little substance in terms of story. Planet of the Apes fails in being an engaging film, and you're left in disbelief. Luckily Rise of the Planet of the Apes got it right, because this one didn't. |

Taxi 2004, PG-13)
Taxi is massive pile garbage. The film is so stupid, so unimpressive, and very poorly acted. I caught this film waiting for classes in my College's Pub, as this was the film that was showing, luckily I went for a few cigarette breaks and missed a few parts, but in the end; I didn't miss anything. Queen Latifah is a terrible actress and has no skill whatsoever. Taxi is a bad film with a bad script that is pretty pointless and unoriginal. The films plot is paper thin and I was very irritated with the inept humor. The film didn't do anything for me, and it was a waste of time. Taxi is an awful that should've never been made. Taxi doesn't work because the script is so poorly written, the cast is so mediocre, and everything else is so over the top, that you lose interest. If you're looking for a good comedy, then this isn't the one. This film is awful. I was absolutely bored by this film, and I felt it was a film that absolutely didn't deliver anything interesting. The film proved that Queen Latifah is a talentless actress and that she is unable to do anything good. Taxi is simply a train wreck of a film and it's a film that I thought was one of the most annoying comedies to come out in a long time. This is a terrible film that everyone should avoid, there is absolutely nothing interesting or funny about the film. The film is just a collection of annoying characters played by bad actors and with a bad story to boot. The film fails as a comedy and is a total waste of time. |

Idle Hands 1999, R)
Inept attempt at a comedy horror film, Idle Hands is one of those forgettable horror comedies that has a boring, unimpressive teen cast. Seth Green was the only one in this film that made it a little bit funny, and everyone else was pretty awful. Devon Sawa was never a good actor to begin with, and his skills are pretty mediocre here. The film sucks. The plot might've been something very good if the screenwriters would've written another draft of the screenplay, but they didn't. The film feels, tired, lazy and uninspired. Jessica Alba has always been good at one, providing a films eye candy, and she doesn't disappoint in this. But as usual, her acting abilities leave a lot to be desired. The film might've been good when first released, but it's one of those films that really doesn't stand the test of time, and now, over a decade after the films release; you see that it's not a good movie. Sure it's not the worst, but it's still bad. Idle Hands could have been a lot better; the film could have been something really funny. Unfortunately it falls flat. Idle Hands is definite a poor attempt at horror comedy, one that everyone should forget about. Idle Hands is not a film that has stood the test of time, the film has become unfunny very quick and it's easily one of the worst horror comedies in quite some time. Luckily for horror fans, there have been better horror comedies since this films release. Forgettable and avoidable film. Aside from Jessica Alba, this film is awful. |

The Longest Yard 2005, PG-13)
The Longest Yard remake is a yet another prime example of a remake that is terrible. The film is awful. With a bad cast, it's no wonder that this film is bad. James Cromwell and William Fichtner are the only two good actors here, and they are totally wasted on a bad film like this. Adam Sandler continues to prove that he is a terrible comedian, and with only three good comedies to his name, he really should get a clue that his films are terrible, and that he's quite unfunny. The Longest Yard is awful, and I was expecting something good with this film, but boy was I disappointed. The original film was decent, nothing too great; but this film is crap. The comedic relief in Sandler and Chris Rock is terrible. I hated it. Two awful comedians in one film are a guaranteed comedic misfire. Which is what The Longest Yard remake is. After a while, I really felt bored and uninterested with the direction of the film. The film was pretty boring and lacked anything interesting or engaging. The film fails at being a comedy, and its execution is clumsy and sloppy. The jokes are stale and unoriginal. This is a pointless remake to a classic film, and it should've never been made. The film doesn't work as a comedy due to its lacking effective comedic talent. I hated this film, and in the end it was a boring film to be avoided. The film was a poorly made comedy that didn't deliver effective laughs. |

The Amityville Horror 2005, R)
The remake of the haunted house classic is a mediocre attempt at a remake. The film fails to capture the elements that made the original Amityville Horror such a classic. I felt that the film had too many cheap scares, scares that weren't effective, and that the pacing of the film was poor, thus the scary atmosphere was cheap. Add to that an awful cast, and you have a remake that simply doesn't cut it. I'm not a big fan of Ryan Reynolds and his performance was pretty bad here. Despite the fact that this is an unnecessary remake, compared to many, it's not too bad, but it's still pretty mediocre. The original added a sense of genuine fear, and dread; this is replaced with cheap jump scares that half the time doesn't work. The cast here are easily forgettable, and really don't bring anything effective to the screen. The original counted on atmosphere to create tension and horror, an element that is absent in this remake. This remake is plagued with a bad script, and it copies too many elements from the original. The only difference is, is that the original is a classic. This film isn't. The cast seem bored, and they overact their parts. The film doesn't feel real, the horror is cheaply delivered and in the end, it's just a waste of time. The Amityville Horror fails to deliver any genuine chills or good horror for that matter. The cast is forgettable, and they really don't cut it in this film. A forgettable horror remake. |

Lake Placid 3 2010, R)
Third entry in the Lake Placid series is yet an unimpressive rehash of old ideas. The film suffers from a bad execution of story. And a bad cast. I felt that by this point, the franchise didn't even try to do something refreshing. I also felt that Lake Placid should've been a stand alone film with no sequels. This is yet another failed attempt at cashing in on an original title. This a poor straight to DVD title and it shows. The film is lazy, and there's nothing creative about it. The film is a complete waste of time, and it doesn't have anything new or original. The film is standard straight to DVD crap, and it doesn't do anything to thrill the viewer. Lake placid 3 is a total piece of crap from start to finish, a poorly executed film with poor directing and acting, and above all, storyline. When looking for recycled ideas for a film, look no further than Lake Placid 3. This film is much uninspired and adds nothing new to a film that should never had any sequels in the first place. I hope they never make any more sequels to this tired out franchise, as the sequels were crap, and the first was average. A pointless and awful third film that everyone should avoid. A film not worth seeing. Stick with the first film, at least that one was entertaining, but this one suffers from a lazy scrip and poor acting, and it shows. |

Evan Almighty 2007, PG)
Evan Almighty is an awful sequel to an awful film. I hated this film, I hated the message it, and everything about it was horrible. The story was bad, the acting was bad the pacing was bad, and as a religious comedy it failed just like the first one. I felt that the entire religious theme didn't work whatsoever, and I felt it was very preachy in the way it was delivered on-screen. The jokes were poorly written, and Steve Carrell, who usually is funny, is wasted here. So is Morgan Freeman. The film is a poor sequel to a film that should never have had a sequel in the first place. Bruce Almighty was horrible; I don't even know why they followed it up with a boring, uninspired preachy sequel. The cast do what they can with such a poorly written script; unfortunately the film can't be saved. This is yet another stupid sequel to a stupid, idiotic first film I really didn't see the point of this film, the film is painful to watch and is so poorly made that you lose interest. You realize that this films premise is paper thin, and the gags are stale, and don'[t hold up well at all. This is a biblical disaster for believers and non believers alike. I was very bored watching, and by the time the credits finally rolled, I was thrilled it was over. A few months after this films release, I resorted to Atheism. A poorly made film and a pointless, unimpressive comedy that has no direction. |

Bruce Almighty 2003, PG-13)
For me, Jim Carrey stopped being funny after Me, Myself & Irene. His brand of comedy began to suffer, and he slowly became irritating. Bruce Almighty is yet another lame attempt for Carrey to deliver a comedic performance in a religion oriented comedy. Now, I'm not a believer, or anything, but I did think that the films premise had something interesting to offer, however it was poorly executed and the cast here didn't cut it. I felt that the film too heavy on preaching the word of religion, and that it tried too hard at combining that with comedy. The problem with this is that there are few laughs in between the positive messages the film tries to throw at the viewer. What you get is a film that doesn't work and it doesn't do anything to really entertain you. Like I state the jokes are minimal, and there's nothing that will really appeal to any viewer, I felt bored watching this film, and the film had bad pacing, and I felt it was a bit slow for my taste. I felt that this film could have been much better than it was, as the idea is quite good, but the filmmakers don't do anything really interesting with those ideas. Bruce Almighty is a bad film that is a missed opportunity, and doesn't work whatsoever. The film is pretty pointless in what it's trying to do, and there is nothing good about it. The film fails and is a boring film at that. |

Along Came Polly 2004, PG-13)
Along Came Polly was a disappointment for me. I expected something very funny, and very well done. Unfortunately this film has minor laughs and wasted good cast on a terrible film. This film could have been much better, unfortunately it misses the mark. Along Came Polly could have been a good film, unfortunately the films ideas fall apart halfway through the film, and the film become tiresome and boring after a while. Along Came Polly could have been a good comedy, but the jokes simply fall flat, and most of them aren't that good to begin with. At times, I did laugh, but this is a fairly forgettable film that really has nothing good going for it. The film could have been much better, and it shows. I wasted my time watching this, and this one of the worst comedies that I have seen. I felt very bored watching the film, and half the time the jokes were so pathetic that it was painful. The film is barely funny, and when it is, it's too little, too late. The film is a missed opportunity, and despite its good cast, fails to be funny or entertaining. Along Came Polly misses the mark in terms of a good comedy. The jokes don't hold up, and most of try too hard at getting a laugh out of you. The film doesn't really do anything that's interesting or entertaining. I was bored watching it, and though it had some good laughs, it wasn't enough to be an effective comedy. In terms of a good comedy, Along Came Polly is not that film. The film is awful and the cast is wasted on such a poor script. |

Click 2006, PG-13)
Click is a Drama comedy film starring Adam Sandler. The film is awful; I felt that the idea was a good one, if it had a different lead. Personally, I find that Adam Sandler should have retired ages ago. The guy can't hold a film together, unless it's Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy and The Wedding Singer. Those are his best, and the rest are crap. Adam Sandler is definitely not an actor, much less a competent comedian. He's a few decent comedies, but now he's simply terrible. I hate his guts, I can't stand him. What's stunning about this film is that Christopher Walken agreed to star in it. I can't believe that he played in this piece of crap. He's too talented to be in an Adam Sandler film. Click failed to entertain me, I thought that the film was terrible because Sandler brought it down, and most of the cast were wasted because they had to star in opposite him. It's their own fault. The film doesn't really entertain; instead it's slow, overly dramatic and boring. The film tries to blend comedy and drama, but in the end, it just doesn't work. Click is simply a missed opportunity, and it fails at everything it tries to do. If the film had a better lead, and at least a few script rewrites, I think this film would've been better; instead the film is a mess and doesn't do anything that entertains the viewer. The only thing the film does is bore the crap out of the viewer, which in that respect, succeeds on many levels. A tired, lazy film that misses the mark. Avoid it. |

Mr. Woodcock 2007, PG-13)
If you're looking for Billy Bob Thornton's worst film, Mr. Woodcock is probably the one. I felt that Mr. Woodcock lacked anything funny or interesting that would make it a memorable comedy. The acting here sucks, and both Sean William Scott and Billy Bob Thornton give lazy performances and are actually quite boring to watch. The laughs are minimal. The film fails on being anything effective in its humor. The jokes feel forced, uninspired and they get old very quick. The acting suffers as well, and Thornton basically plays the same character he's played in previous films. With the exception with a rewrite, Thornton's character in this film is no different than previous characters that he's played. I felt that Mr. Woodcock was a missed opportunity to create a good comedy, and it might have worked if the story didn't really rely on Billy Bob's usual asshole image. Unfortunately the film relies only on that, instead of focusing on other elements which could have improved the film significantly. The film could have been a memorable comedy, and Billy Bob is a funny guy, but the script is too sloppy and unimpressive to really be entertaining. This is one of the weakest comedies starring Billy Bob Thornton, he's the right guy for this type of role, but the film relies too much on his asshole persona and doesn't do anything to really make the film interesting by exploring other ideas with plot. |

John Tucker Must Die 2006, PG-13)
John Tucker Must Die was a terrible attempt at a comedy. The film has a bad cast, bad story and is simply awful. I thought the film was bad because it relied on clichés that we've seen from other films and the film simply fails to have any real laughs. The cast is comprised of your typical teen comedy film cast. As a whole, John Tucker Must Die fails to be entertaining and is actually quite boring. The film at times does make you chuckle a bit, but for the most part, there's never any real laugh out loud moments. The way the comedy is used is poorly done, and the film is not a memorable comedy and it just is a flawed film that is poorly done, and is a forgettable film once you've seen. The film could have been good, but the people who wrote the film don't know how to write witty, effective humor. John Tucker Must Die is simply a pointless, unfunny film that relies too much on clichés to create the humor, and it doesn't work. This film is a forgettable comedy, not worth watching. The jokes are bad, and this is the type of film that has been done many times before. Not to mention it's very predictable in its execution. A film that never does make you laugh or be entertained, John Tucker Must Die is simply a poorly conceived comedy with poorly thought out gags. |

Exorcist - The Beginning 2004, R)
Considering that The Exorcist is one of the greatest horror films that has ever been made, Exorcist-The Beginning is a total disappointment. What surprises me is that the film boasts a good cast. However this film really doesn't cut it as a horror film. The film is supposed to be scary, considering it is a sequel to The Exorcist, which is quite possibly the scariest film ever made. The Beginning should tell the tale of how it all began, right? The film does that, but it never is scary, or brings fear to the audience. The film was fairly predictable, and lacked any effective plot development to build the tension up. Exorcist-The Beginning is a terrible prequel that really doesn't do anything exciting to develop the plot of the series. Hell, if you ask me, The Exorcist should've never had sequels pr a prequel. The film should have been a standalone film. Exorcist-The Beginning is a lazy, unimpressive prequel and it should never have been made. The film suffers from a terrible script and poor direction on behalf of Renny Harlin. The ideas might have been interesting to explore, however the film really doesn't try to deliver anything interesting or thrilling. This film is simply awful, and will disappoint fans of Friedkin's classic film. The film is bad, and has no redeeming aspects going for it. If you're a fan of the original, then skip on this one. You'll be glad you did. The film is pretty boring and won't hold your attention through the very end, I know I had va hard time to stay interested, and it took everything for me to stay focused on this piece of trash. |

Drive-In Massacre 1974, R)
Drive-In Massacre has got one terrific concept for a slasher film; however the execution of the film is very bad. Now, the film fails because it really has no plot development and the film is slow, lumber on and on and really goes no where. I think this is sad, because the idea for the film is excellent, however, the execution of the film is so bad, and it's awful. This had so much potential to be a good horror film, instead the film is badly acted (even by horror standards) and the plot doesn't unfold it just stays there, becomes boring, lazy and tired. Then you become lazy, tired and bored. This could have been another slasher classic; instead it has the reputation of being an awful slasher with a ruined good idea. If the film would have been made by someone else who actually know the genre, then maybe the film would have been saved. However, Drive-In Massacre suffers from very poor plot development, bad acting, and bad directing and overall a bad story. The idea is great, a killer on the loose in a drive-in is a good idea, however the story sucks, and takes way too long to get to the point. If you're looking for a slasher film with numerous kills, this is not the one. The film is slow and boring. This one of the worst horror films of the 1970's As a slasher film this one has some decent kill scenes, unfortunately the bad direction of the film makes this film a film not worth watching. Drive-In Massacre is not a good film, unlike other entertaining Grindhouse features of the 70's such as Driller Killer, at least that film was entertaining, but Drive-In Massacre is dull, boring and even though it has a good concept for a plot, the filmmakers didn't know how to make that idea work in an effective horror film. This is a film that should be avoided. The title is the best part about this film. |

Walking Tall 2004, PG-13)
Walking Tall had the potential of being something very good. Instead the film is a disappointing action film with a meager cast. The film could have been done much better than this, and though it had an interesting story, the film falls apart halfway through. The thing that is shocking about the film is that it started well enough to be a good film, but like I said halfway through the film things start to fall apart, the film goes all over the place, and it doesn't try whatsoever to really redeem itself. This is disappointing because the film had such a great story. This film ends up being terrible, and being one of the worst action films in recent memory. I found it surprising to see Johnny Knoxville in a somewhat serious role, and to his credit, he wasn't bad in this. The actors do what they can with the lacking second half, but it's too late. Walking Tall is a mediocre action film that doesn't have anything really interesting to offer and it's a shame because the film started off well enough. This is a perfect example of screenwriters not being to effectively develop a solid second half to a solid first half. This film could have been terrific, but it fails and the film is quite unsatisfying in the end. A good first half but disappointing second make Walking Tall a film that really isn't effective, and with a good concept, it could have been a terrific action film. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie 1990, PG)
Growing up as a kid, I used to be a huge fan of the cartoon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I remember when this film came out, I was very excited. What five year old wouldn't be? After re-watching this film a while back, I was disappointed. The film has aged very badly, and now I noticed all the faults that this film possessed. The film might have good back when it was first released, but it hasn't stood the test of time whatsoever. The acting, plot and directing are all bad. This is the type of film that was great as a kid, but when you watch it years later, you wonder why there's anything appealing about it. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a film that hasn't stood the test of time, and looking back, the film was way better back when I was a kid. This is a film that really can't be seen as a classic of your child because the film looks like crap now. Films like The Sandlot and Toy Story are still great because they were well made, and really haven't aged that bad either. But this one has, and it definitely looks dated and looks awful. The acting is terrible, the plot is bad, and the whole is silly. This is one of those films you look at years later, and you're like "what the hell did I love that for?" Well, the cartoon will always be a classic no matter what, it's just a shame that the film hasn't aged well, because when I was a kid, I thoroughly enjoyed it. But now, I saw the films faults, and there are too many to mention. Oh well, the cartoon is great. |

Hell Ride 2008, R)
I originally saw Hell Ride when it first was released, and despite a good enough cast (aside from Eric Balfour, who is the worst actor here) the talent is waste on-screen. The film has nothing going for it; the plot is paper thin, a total mess and is poorly constructed. Hell Ride tries too hard to be Easy Rider, but fails. The film fails all together. Fails as competent piece of cinema and as an action/biker film. Director Larry Bishop provides us with little substance. Hell Ride had potential, but Larry Bishop doesn't know to effectively build a clever story for this film. The film is sloppy, unimpressive and it doesn't have any redeeming qualities. Hell Ride could have been a great film. I mean the cast here is pretty impressive you have such acting legends as Dennis Hopper and David Carradine. Unfortunately their talent is wasted on such a poor film. Hell Ride is a poorly crafted film that fails to really entertain. The story is sloppy and the cast are wasted. Above all, director Larry Bishop doesn't know where to take the story, thus it fails at being an effective, thrilling and entertaining film. This film could have been something very good, instead because of the scripts limitations, the film ends up being very bad, and the cast is wasted. There's really nothing interesting in Hell Ride, and it is actually one of the worst films that I have seen. The film tries too hard at being a clone of Easy Rider, and it fails. I hated this film. |

Bitch Slap 2010, R)
Bitch Slap is one of the worst films that I've seen in the last few years. The film tries to be like other comic book style films such as Sin City, but it fails. Bitch Slap is a boring, uninteresting film with poor acting, poor plot and directing. However the film does look cool, unfortunately that's not even enough to save this dreadful wreck of a film. The film could have been something good and entertaining, but the director doesn't know how to create effective action scenes or develop a good, engaging plot. Bitch Slap suffers from a poor script, and the potential is ruined on-screen. The film has nothing to offer. I was pretty bored watching this film, and you'd think with a title like Bitch Slap, you'd be in for a wild, crazy ride that's pure fun from beginning to end. Sadly, the film is quite bland. Bitch Slap is a missed opportunity to do something great as an action film. You'd think with a title like that, that the film would be awesome, unfortunately, it's not. The film is quite poor, and is a waste of time. The film tries to pull off the Tarantino/Rodriguez formula of Grindhouse but it fails to effectively create some sort of homage to the genre. The film is poorly done, really doesn't do anything to entertain you. The action scenes are dull, and uninspired. Where Grindhouse was fun film to watch, and was an effective homage to the Grindhouse films of the 70's, this one fails to deliver the fun that Grindhouse delivered so well. Bitch Slap is a slap in the viewers face, and really is not entertaining. The film is terrible and has nothing good or entertaining about it. The script sucks, the acting sucks and overall the film sucks. Avoid this piece of trash. |

The Number 23 2007, R)
The Number 23 is a great concept for a film ruined by a terrible script, bad acting and bad directing. I was very much looking forward in seeing this film, because the concept seemed appealing, and it is. However, the execution is so poorly done that the film falls apart halfway through. Joel Schumacher's directing is sloppy and he doesn't know what do to effectively build up the tension in his film, which if he had a clue, this film could have been great. The Number 23 is a sloppy horror thriller that falls short on every level. The twist ending sucked, the film was a waste of time, and Virginia Madsen overacted most of the time and most of the time she was so over the top, she was ridiculous. After finishing watching this film, I realized that The Number 23 was a joke; the film is a bad joke. The film tries to blend horror and suspense and thrills into one film, unfortunately the script is so poorly written that it fails to grab your attention and suck you into the story. Schumacher has made yet another flop and is along with Batman & Robin, one of the lowest points of his career as well as the second worst film of his career. The Number 23 is a missed opportunity and if some other director would have helmed the film, and rewritten the script and maybe recasted a few roles, then I think this film could have succeeded at being an effective thriller. But the film is a waste of time, and is a pretty stupid attempt at creating a good horror thriller. The Number 23 can be used as a perfect example as HOW NOT TO make a thriller. A terrible film that should be avoided. |

Hide and Seek 2005, R)
Hide and Seek is a predictable and mediocre thriller that not even the good performances by Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning can salvage. The film had a good idea, but it quickly falls apart, and becomes a tired film that tries too hard to deliver the thrills. For me, a good thriller film has got to be effortless in delivering a top-notch story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Though Hide and Seek starts off good enough to keep you interested, the director doesn't know where to take this story and give us, the viewer an exciting climax. Hide and Seek is simply a mediocre thriller that doesn't try to thrill you. This film is quite uninspired with an ineffective overused formula to create its thrills and tension. What's really surprising is that the good cast that director John Polson directs can't save the film from being a dud. I felt that the film started off well enough, but then it ventured into too similar territory of ideas that have been explored in previous films. I felt that the overused, cliché elements killed this film, and made it quite boring. A good cast is wasted here, and there's nothing going on that really kept me interested in this film. I didn't like the film, and felt it was very mediocre, and this is the perfect example of how a movie that uses old clichéd ideas to create a "new" thriller can turn out, it turns bad. Hide and Seek is boring, uninspired and dull. What could have been a good film is ruined by a bad script and overused ideas. |

Snake Eyes 1998, R)
Brian DePalma's Snake Eyes is a pretty bad thriller. The concept of Snake Eyes was great, and I quite enjoyed the idea, however the execution of the plot isn't poor, and Brian DePalma, who usually directs good films, is pretty sloppy this time around. Snake Eyes could have been something great, but instead it's an awful film that simply doesn't cut it. I felt that the writing was sloppy and the film was one of those films that didn't know what to do with an elaborate concept. This is exactly the problem with Snake Eyes, the filmmakers don't know how to effectively develop the films plot to truly be something that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Snake Eyes conclusion leaves a lot to be desired and is frankly disappointing. The film could have been good, but it never delivers anything spectacular. Nicholas Cage overacts his part, and it becomes laughable. Snake Eyes may have had a good idea for its plot, but Brian DePalma and the cast really don't know how to make it work so that it is effectively entertaining for the viewer. After watching Snake Eyes, I was really thrilled overall, and was very disappointed. I've seen quite a few DePalma films, and he's a good director, but Snake Eyes is one of his worst films. DePalma does his best to try and conceive an effective thriller, unfortunately his efforts are wasted, and Snake Eyes ends up being a bad film that is quite frankly a waste of time. This film could have been much better, but instead it doesn't do anything to thrill the viewer. Usually a thriller sucks you in by the first frame, and leaves you hooked, Snake Eyes does the opposite, it sucks you in, but doesn't do anything great to capture your imagination, and thus it's quite a lame thriller. |

Blank Check 1994, PG)
Blanch Check is yet another one of those childhood films that you look back years later, and wonder, "how did I love this crap?" obviously as a kid, you think that it's a great film, and re-watching it as an adult, going through your childhood favorites, you think that the film will bring a sense of nostalgia. Unlike many other childhood films, looking back at Blank Check, the film hasn't stood the test of time as so many other childhood favorites. The film is poorly conceived and doesn't belong among other childhood classics. The film may appeal to a young audience of course, but this isn't a film that you can exactly call a "childhood favorite" as it really isn't a film that you'd find yourself rewatching again and again. Blank Check is a bad film that is poorly conceived with a bad plot and bad acting. Director Rupert Wainwright directs a pitiful film that isn't satisfying or fun. Unlike other childhood films which I enjoyed, and still enjoy as an adult, Blank Check is a film that really hasn't stood out among the rest. I didn't like the film back then, and most certainly don't like it now. The film is poorly directed, and thought it may have had a good idea for a plot. The way it turns out is bad. In the hands of a better director, Blank Check might have been a fun, entertaining film, and been a childhood classic. Unfortunately this is an awful film that doesn't do anything special to really entertain you. Avoid this film. |

Shaft 2000, R)
Shaft is an unimpressive action film that is loosely based on the classic of the same name. I found it quite bad. Shaft didn't thrill me, and frankly, I was disappointed. I felt that the film could have been much better, and that it didn't anything to really entertain you. The thing is, Shaft has a poorly constructed script that is overly vulgar, and relies on that to try and entertain the viewer. Shaft is a pretty bland film and uses cliché upon cliché to create its story. Shaft doesn't differ from other cop films, and offers nothing new to the genre. The film is mediocre that really isn't entertaining. The cast is awful, and they don't do anything that elevates this film into being something really entertaining. The film is dull, boring and unimpressive. Shaft relies on its profanity to be "entertaining", unfortunately, it isn't entertaining. Shaft is a boring action film that is unimpressive to watch and frankly is a waste of time. I did not enjoy this film, and I thought that it was a missed opportunity to do something interesting. This is yet another remake that fails to capture the thrills of the original. The films flaws lies within a poorly written script, a bad cast and overall poor directing. Shaft is a mediocre film that misses the mark, and is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. The film is poorly conceived, and doesn't capture the elements which the original film a good, entertaining viewing experience. This remake fails to entertain and is marred with a bad script that is the film fatal flaw. |

Kazaam 1996, PG)
Kazaam has got the reputation of being one of the worst films ever made, and with good reason. I originally saw this when it first came out and thought it was awful, and I was 11 years old at the time. The film is utter garbage. I don't even know where to begin with this film. Well for one, if this was supposed to be an entertaining and fun family film, it definitely doesn't do that. Kazaam is a stupid, pointless, poorly constructed piece of garbage that should never have been made in the first place. This is a film that no one should waste their time on. Director Paul Michael Glaser should be ashamed of himself for directing this drivel. Kazaam is a pointless film, and if you're looking for one of the worst films ever made, then look no further. The acting is awful, the plot is equally bad and so is the directing. There is no redeeming qualities about this film and it's overall, a great waste of time. Watching paint dry is more entertaining than watching this trash. A terrible film that should never have been made, Kazaam definitely scraps the bottom of the barrel of bad ideas, and has nothing good going for it. The only good thing about this film is the end credits. Avoid this film like the plague; you'd be glad you did. This is simply an awful film that's really not worth watching. |

Steel Trap 2007, R)
Steel Trap is a terrible, poorly constructed film using previous ideas from other films. The plot is cliché, the characters are poorly developed and the directing is terrible. Steel Trap could have been a good horror film, but the fact is, is that it reminded me too much of Saw with a bad cast. Steel Trap is a clichéd ridden film that doesn't do anything new or original to entertain the viewer. I felt that the film missed the mark, and didn't offer anything good or entertaining. Steel Trap was a pointless film and by the time the credits role, you realize how much you wasted your time on this stupid, pointless film. Steel Trap is a badly conceived film that ultimately doesn't go anywhere. The films plot is mediocre, and to make that worse, the cast is terrible and it really sinks this film further. Steel Trap might've been a good film, but it's a dud, a total failure of a horror film. This is a film that scraps the bottom of the barrel. Director Luis Camara cannot craft a competent film. Steel Trap is a poor film with a mediocre story. I thought that Steel Trap was not worth watching, and that the cast was awful, and that Steel Trap was simply an uninspired horror film trying to cash in on the torture porn genre that Saw pioneered. It doesn't work, and Steel Trap is a bad film that is actually one of the worst horror films of the last few years. Stick with Saw; at least you'll a better crafted horror film with a decent cast and good gore effects, which is what Steel Trap lacks. |

New In Town 2009, PG)
New In town had to potential in being a good film. Unfortunately, it's an awful mess of a romantic comedy that relies on the same old repetitive clichés. New In Town was a boring, unimpressive film that proves once again that Renee Zellweger can't act. The film is boring, dull and poorly executed. I hated the film. I found the jokes to be uninteresting, and if they were supposed to be funny, I forgot to laugh. This is a pointless romantic comedic with a bad cast (aside from J.K Simmons, who's wasted here), this film is terrible. Director Jonas Elmer can't craft an effective plot, or direct a good film for that matter. The film lumbers along like your typical romantic comedy, and doesn't do anything new with the formula. The best way I could describe this film, is simply that it's a waste of time. The film simply wasn't entertaining. The cast wasn't good and the plot was dull, uninteresting, and you lost interested halfway through. New In Town is one of those films that you wish was never made. The film doesn't do anything whatsoever to immerse you into its story. Instead, the film irritates you, and makes you wish it was over. Of all the romantic comedies that I have seen, New In Town is one of the worst. Writing wise, acting wise, the film absolutely doesn't cut it. This a mess of a film that uses overused clichés to try and create something refreshing, but it doesn't work. New In Town is a boring, poorly crafted film that is worth avoiding! |

The Super Mario Bros. 1993, PG)
One of the first awful video game to screen adaptation. This adaptation of the popular video game franchise, Super Mario Bros. To say that this film is trash is an understatement. This film is poorly constructed; everything about it seems out of place, poorly conceived, sloppy and lazy. I really don't know if Super Mario brothers could have been a good idea for a good film. But by having seen this film, evidently not. I saw it when it came out, and hated it back then, hate it now. This film is a poor waste of celluloid and money. If this film would have been made today, it probably would have been directed by Uwe Boll, famed awful director of awful video game to screen adaptations. This films awful plot is decorated with lavish special effects, and unfortunately, it doesn't redeem this horrid film. The cast are terrible in their parts and it sinks the film even further. Sure, the idea of making a film based on the Mario Bros could have been cool, but this film is simply poorly executed. If you haven't seen this film, and are considering it, don't. This film is a waste of time. Stick with playing the classic video game, as it's far superior to this trash. Super Mario Bros was simply filmed to make a quick buck, and this film stands as a testament as no matter what kind of crap the studios greenlight, no matter how awful it is, the audience will go see. Luckily, this film sucks big time, and is a total waste. Avoid this if you haven't seen it. You'll be glad you did. |

Kung Pow! Enter the Fist 2002, PG-13)
Pointless, uninspired and above all awful parody of great martial arts films, Kung Pow is a film that is poorly conceived and has an awful, sloppy script to work with. I laughed maybe once during the entire length of the film, and once I was finished it, I realized that this was one of the stupidest films that I had seen. The film relies on bland jokes and crappy voice over, and yeah I know that's the whole point, but still, it's terrible. Even if the over exaggeration and bad dubbing is intentional, they could have made it funnier than this. This film is just bad. Kung Pow is a sloppy parody film that is lazy, uninspired and a total waste of time. I hated this film and thought it should never have been made. I just thought it was a pointless film that offered nothing anything funny or creative for the viewer. Seeing this was boring, and the result was a mediocre film that did not deliver anything funny. The humor in the film is more irritating than anything, and it just ends up making you feel made at how pointless this whole film is. The era of great parody films is over; Hollywood should stop making trash like this as it is quite unfunny, lazy and dull. If you want a great parody film, watch Airplane! That film is a classic and a perfect example of good satire. This, this is a sad example of a bad parody film that fails on every level. Avoid this if you're considering watching it. Watching paint dry was more hilarious than this. |

Beethoven's 2nd 1993, PG)
The first of many sequels in this stupid franchise. I remember liking the first two films in this series back when they first came out, only because I was like 8 years old at the time of the first two films release. Looking back now, these films haven't stood the test of time, and really insult a kid's intelligence. The films are terrible, and there's been so many better films that the family can enjoy than this tired, unimpressive series. Luckily I stopped caring about Beethoven after this second entry. The film suffers from a poor plot, bad acting, and really doesn't do anything original. The only reason that they green lit this second film was to cash in on the success of the first, that's it. It was clear that no matter how crappy the plot was, how poorly developed the plot and characters were people would go see it. I'm sorry but the Beethoven series is simply a dull, poorly crafted family oriented series. I can name a dozen family films that are better than this. I hated this film and seeing this on TV again, I wondered why I even liked these two films. I guess when you're a kid, you like everything. Beethoven 2nd is a poorly made sequel that just doesn't entertain. This is the type of film that can't be redeemed and this series was doomed from the start. If you enjoy a good family oriented film, rent Toy Story instead. At least that was a great film that was smartly crafted. This film reuses recycled, boring old ideas and doesn't do anything to entertain you. Hell, they pumped out six sequels with the same old ideas. This proves that Hollywood is running out of ideas. |

Beethoven 1992, PG)
Looking at the films I enjoyed when I was a kid, this one always seemed to be a favorite among countless others, and now as an adult, I really don't know why I enjoyed this film. I guess it was what I thought, back then at least, a good film that was simply wonderful. Unfortunately, Beethoven for me, is one of those films that hasn't stood the test of time and doesn't really necessitate another viewing like so many other good family films that I enjoyed when I was a kid, because well looking back, this film is pretty stupid. The film has a poor plot, and despite the decent cast, the film suffers from a poor script, and director Brian Levant doesn't do anything interesting with the film. The film is flawed, and pretty pointless. I disliked it and thought it was one of the weaker family films to come out during my childhood. The film should be avoided and doesn't offer anything that will appeal to the viewer. The kids are annoying, the rest of the cast is wasted and Beethoven is simply a poorly made film that really doesn't belong in the same category as other family oriented classics. This is a film not worth watching and really is one of the worst family films that I've seen in my childhood. The film doesn't work, and is simply a waste of time to watch. There are so many other great family films than this. Beethoven is a forgettable waste of time that is pointless entertainment. I hated this film, and you'd be better off watching films like Casper or The Sandlot. Beethoven hasn't stood the test of time, and the plot not entertaining, and the cast is simply wasted on-screen. A pointless mess of a family film. |

The Flintstones 1994, PG)
The Flintstones was one of those films that I really enjoyed when I was younger. Years later, however the film doesn't hold up. I found that despite the two lead roles (which were well casted), the film didn't have anything good to offer. The plot seems a bit too complex for children, and I remember not fully understanding the film when I was younger. The film suffers from quite a poor plot, and it's the main reason why this film misses the mark. The film does have a highpoint, the film looks great and that's about it. The films sets look stunning. However aside from John Goodman and Rick Moranis, the actors here are terrible. A live action adaptation of the classic TV show wasn't the best idea, and the end result of this film showcases that point perfectly. The film tries to have a serious plot to add to its already silly plot, and it doesn't work. Director Brian Levant proves once again he's a sloppy director and can't craft an excellent family film. The Flintstones is a very forgettable family film, and it joins the countless awful family films that has plagued cinema in the last two decades. There are some great family films that are still watchable today, however, this one doesn't stand out, and it's laughably bad. The Flinstones is the type of film that when you're a kid, you enjoy, however when you grow up, you ask yourself "Why did I even like this crap?" This is a pointless film that might have been good, but is ruined by an awful script, bad directing and sloppy acting. Avoid this film. There are so many better family films out there. |

Jingle All the Way 1996, PG)
Jingle All the Way is one of the worst holiday comedies ever conceived. The film is a horrible mess from start to finish, and doesn't do anything to truly make it a memorable Holiday viewing. Where to begin with this one? The cast? The script? The directing? All of it is terrible. As a holiday comedy, Jingle All the Way isn't a successful comedy. The film is quite awful, and one thing that makes this film so bad is the cast. Schwarzenegger is totally out of place, and he proves yet again that comedies aren't his genre. Director Brian Levant shows how he can't direct an effective, and delivers another crap fest. Jingle All the Way is a film that needs to be avoided. The cast is terrible, and the paper thin script doesn't deliver anything. Jingle All the Way is yet another awful holiday film, and should be seen as a how not to make a holiday film. The film had very poor directing from awful director Brian Levant, who never seems to deliver an entertaining film. His work is sloppy, washed out and he really is one of cinema's worst directors. With Jingle All the Way, he delivers an awful, boring, clichéd film that is plainly a film not worth seeing. If you're looking for a great holiday comedy film, pass up on Jingle All the Way. This is a pointless comedy not worth watching. |

Jungle 2 Jungle 1997, PG)
Jungle 2 Jungle is the definition of a bad film. This film is awful, unfunny, poorly conceived. I remember when this film came out, I was 12 and obviously still into these types of films. Needless to say when this came out, boy did I think it was crap. The film was so poorly made, with a bad cast (Tim Allen wasted here) and a bad story with little or no jokes. This is simply a poorly made family film that is quite frankly impossible to enjoy as a family. Well, Disney has a knack for releasing awful films as well as good ones. But this is one of those awful films that they released that should be avoided. The film is plainly bad, and has nothing engaging about its plot, nothing to make you interested in what you're watching. This is simply put a bad family that isn't worth watching and if you did, is a most forgettable film to watch. I hated this film, hated the fact it was unfunny, hated the bad actors and bad plot overall. This film was a waste and it wasn't worth watching whatsoever. This film scraps the bottom of the barrel of bad ideas, and it's a film that doesn't deliver whatsoever. There are some sloppy comedic bits that simply aren't funny, and the script is plainly awful. This is one of the worst family films that I've seen, and this is simply a film not worth watching. Jungle 2 Jungle is a waste of celluloid and is utter garbage. I hated this film and the cast is pathetic along with the story. A crapfest from start to finish. |

D3: The Mighty Ducks 1996, PG)
Third entry in Disney's The Mighty Ducks franchise is a bad, unimpressive third film that really scarps the bottom of the barrel of ideas. This film is terrible, unimpressive with a bad cast, poor story and poor directing. D3 is the worst film in the series, and it's clear that there is nothing good about this film, and it's soul purpose for its existence was to cash in on the success of the first film, and they studio felt the story needed some sort of conclusion. Well this is a sad conclusion. Fans of the first film will be disappointed with this film as it doesn't have the amusing aspects of the first film, and it is a mess. This is a tired film of which a franchise is starting to show its age. This is a terrible, pointless film that unfortunately doesn't do anything whatsoever for fans of the first film, and overall D3 is a very bad film that should never have been made, but of course it was made only to cash in on the success of the first, and it shows how greedy studio executives can get; because with this film they delivered a piece of garbage and they made a lot of money off of it, instead of focusing on a quality story, they rushed it, and made an awful film with nothing good about it. This is simply put an awful third entry of which you shouldn't waste your time on. This film is simply a waste of time and money. As far as uninspired films are concerned, D3: The Mighty Ducks is one of the prime examples of such a film. |

Freaky Friday 2003, PG)
Freaky Friday for me is a terrible, unimpressive film that really is a waste of time. Hated this film, and I thought that Jamie Lee Curtis was wasted here. She shouldn't have played in this garbage of a film, and this is one of worst films. I really couldn't get into this film. I hate Lindsay Lohan, and considering her current legal problems, it doesn't take Einstein to figure out why I hate her, that and she can't act at all. Freaky Friday is a boring film that I thought was a big waste of time. There is nothing good going on here and the film is simply pointless. I thought the film was stupid. I thought that the film suffered from predictable clichés and it just didn't cut it for me. I didn't laugh once. I love a good comedy like the next person; unfortunately Freaky Friday is not such a film. The film is poorly crafted with no substance, ideas that go nowhere and despite a strong lead (Curtis) the film is bad. I think it's a shame that Jamie Lee Curtis is wasted here, but like with every actor and actress, there's at least one film that put a black mark on their career, for Curtis that film is Freaky Friday, a stupid, unfunny comedy that fails to deliver genuine laughs. If you're looking for a good family oriented comedy with good laughs, Freaky Friday isn't that film. This is a waste and it could have been much better than this. |

Funny People 2009, R)
I was very much looking forward to seeing Funny People. When I did, I was very disappointed. The film though has some decent laughs, but unfortunately doesn't what it wants to be, and goes on longer than it needs to. The film had a few good performances, and at times was funny; unfortunately the film was too long and for the most part was very boring, and dull. I lost interest after a while; found Funny People to be quite a mediocre film. The length that this film goes on for is painful, and it's sufficient enough for anyone to lose interest. Halfway through the film the film becomes a drama and the comedy is kept at a minimum. This is a dramedy that just doesn't cut it. This is one of Judd Apatow's worst films in my opinion, and though it had a few comedic parts, Funny People proves that Adam Sandler is a talentless "comedian". Funny People really doesn't cut it, and falls flat overall. I think the film started strong overall, unfortunately halfway through the film, the film fell apart, and became a boring. This film is a perfect example of how filmmakers can't get a clue on how to effectively conclude a film, thus they added an additional hour that for me, anyways, was terrible and really didn't fit the film. The soul existence of the additional hour was to add a sense of drama to the film, and in the end, it didn't work, and it was pretty cheesy. This film would have been better if they trimmed an hour of footage and kept the film simply. Unfortunately by the films conclusion, Funny People is all over the place, and doesn't know whether it wants to be a comedy or drama, straight forward drama. I understand it's a dramedy, but this film was poorly conceived. In the end, it tries too hard at being a film that tries to blend two genres into one film and the results are very mediocre. |

Junior 1994, PG-13)
Junior is a poorly constructed comedy that should never have been made. The idea behind the film was pretty original, but director Ivan Reitman doesn't know how to properly direct, and make this film watchable. This had the potential of being a witty, original comedy, and though it's original, Junior is a poorly constructed film with an awful script. The film might have had a good premise, but overall it fails to entertain. This one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's worst films and I think that the film might have worked if he wasn't on board. I mean Schwarzenegger is an action star, not a comedy star. Junior is a poor attempt at a comedy, and though the idea might have been interesting, the end result is a film that is dreadful and not worth watching. Ivan Reitman has made one of his worst films with this film, and it could have been much better than this. The film suffers from an awful script, and though it's amusing at time, overall Junior fails to be a memorable comedy and really doesn't cut it. Maybe the film would have worked if the script had been revised a few times. Unfortunately the film is awful, and the plot is poor and the cast though trying their best to make the film entertaining, simply are wasted and just don't deliver anything good on-screen. This might have been a good comedy, but instead it ends up being an awful, forgettable comedy that is definitely not worth your time. |

The Return of Jafar (Aladdin 2) 1994, G)
Pointless sequel to a good film, The Return of Jafar just doesn't cut it as a sequel, and is a total mess of a film. I hated this film, thought it was pointless, poorly crafted and it had an uninteresting plot. After a while, you simply lost interest in the film, and just didn't care for the characters. Now, I liked the original, it was no classic, but for what it was it was a fun, animated family film that the entire family could enjoy. Return of Jafar is a snore fest and it's a film that is poorly done. This was one of the first film that started showing the decline of quality animated films released by Disney (in my opinion). The quality ration for this film goes from mediocre to awful, there's never anything on-screen that can salvage this garbage, which is a shame because Disney has a long history of creating memorable, classic family films. Oh well, at least they released more classic films than garbage like this (that is easily forgettable). The Return of Jafar is awful, and if you're a fan of the first, and haven't seen this one, don't. You'll be glad you saved your time. The Return of Jafar is a poorly crafted film that was simply created in order to cash in on the success of the first film. Unfortunately Disney didn't care for the quality of this film because there's nothing good or entertaining going on on-screen. What we do get is a tired, awful, unimpressive film that simply disappoints. This is one awful straight to video sequel worth not seeing! |

The Animal 2001, PG-13)
The Animal is yet another pointless Rob Schneider comedy that has maybe three actually funny scenes in the entire film. Unfortunately for Schneider, he's a terrible comedian. This film is awful and it's beyond me why this crap got made in the first place. I though that this film was awful, and is one of those comedies that really doesn't stand the test of time. This is the type of comedy film that has poorly constructed jokes and that it really doesn't do anything memorable. The film is just an excuse for Rob Schneider to have a "career" in films. This is so poorly constructed, poorly plotted, yet the idea was pretty interesting. If the script would have been reworked and the jokes better though out, and with a different lead, this might have been a good film. But this film ends up being a big waste of time, and get tiresome after a while. The film rides on one joke practically for the entire length of the film, and it just doesn't cut it. I think that this film should never have been made, and looking back ten years since this crap was made, there have been far better comedies than this. The Animal is one of those comedies that are meant for people who don't want intellectuality to their comedy, it's a mindless one joke film that is so bad, and it can easily be regarded as one of the worst comedies ever made. Even the first two Pauly Shore outings (Encino Man, and Son in Law) brought more laughter than this, and that says something about this train wreck of a film. |

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo 2005, R)
Sequel to the already awful Deuce Bigalow, this film steps up a notch makes the first film seem funny by comparison. This film was trash and I absolutely hated it. I felt that the film was terrible, and the fact that it got made is a miracle. The biggest problem with Rob Schneider comedies is that they're not funny, and the guy sucks at comedy. His comedic act wore out after Down Periscope, where he at least was funny. But afterwards he just played the same character over and over again; Schneider is one of those "comedians" that only have one joke in their back their entire career. In the end it's sad. This sequel is just as sad as Rob Schneider's "career". As far as sequels are concerned, this film really scraps the bottom of the barrel of ideas. The film doesn't do anything really interesting, and the film is laugh free comedy that is a pure waste of time, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo should never have been made, and the jokes fall flat, and there are definitely no memorable gags in this film. This is the type of comedy film the scraps the bottom of the barrel to try and create something humorous. Unfortunately everything this sequel to an already bad film. The jokes are so poorly developed and unimpressive, that this film simply isn't funny, and you realize how terrible Rob Schneider is as a "comedian". Yet another stupid film with no jokes. This is one comedy that has no laughs and the film doesn't even make you smirk. The only thing this film does is make you angry that you wasted your time on such a crap comedy. |

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo 1999, R)
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo is one of those films that had the potential to being really funny, and memorable. Unfortunately, the film was doomed right from the start by casting an unfunny, talentless "comedian" in the lead. This is a stupid, unimpressive comedy that fails to deliver genuine laughter. This is a poorly conceived comedy that hasn't aged well. The jokes aren't good whatsoever, as a matter of fact the way the jokes are presented in the film, and it's almost desperate. The filmmakers clearly can't make anything work with this comedy, and they just create humorless, tasteless repetitive jokes in order to create "good" gags. Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and this film is simply dull, unimpressive crap. Deuce Bigalow is the type of comedy of which the jokes get old very quickly. This is a film that Hollywood never should have green lit, but they'll make anything to make a quick buck. I hated this film, and felt was a waste of time. Rob Schneider is not funny, and it's with films like this that you wonder how can he still find work? He's a terrible comedian, and plays on one character in every film he does. This is one comedy that has unimpressive, dull comedic gags, and the film is a total crap fest from start to finish. If you're looking for a hilarious film, Deuce Bigalow isn't that film. This is a poorly conceived and completely forgettable comedy. Since its release, there has been far better comedies out there, and Deuce Bigalow is simply put an awful film from start to finish with no redeeming aspects that can salvage how bad it really is. |

Dan in Real Life 2007, PG-13)
Dan in Real Life suffers the usual family comedy film with overbearing clichés from many other films that came before it. I thought that this film was a wasted opportunity to make a film that would have great comedic bits, and be overall a fun, entertaining comedy. However, I found myself mostly bored with this, and not laughing all that much. I thought that Steve Carrell, who is usually really funny, was wasted here and that the rest of the cast just didn't cut it. I thought that Dan in Real Life could have been much better than this, and I felt that the jokes could have been better. Steve Carrell, like I said is wasted here, and I don't even know why this film has Dane Cook in it, aside from his role in Waiting, he's not funny as a comedian and actor. The film started with potential, and it was funny at times, but unfortunately, by the final act, everything including the jokes fall apart, and the film ends up being a total waste of time. I think this film could have been better if the screenwriters would have put a bit more effort into the script. After a while, the film becomes predictable, and you know what will happen next. As a viewer, you lose interest and end up not caring what happens next because we've seen it a hundred times before. This comedy leaves a lot to be desired and overall, it's boring, and I just couldn't get into it. I think that this film could have been better, but it was not to be. Not one of Steve Carrell's best. |

The Black Dahlia 2006, R)
The Black Dahlia was a film that I was really looking forward to seeing. Upon its release, I saw it, and was very, very disappointed in what I saw. This was a film that had so much potential and it was wasted. Brian DePalma has a solid cast of actors, yet his direction is sloppy. I thought that the films premise was good, but halfway through the film, everything falls apart, and the film just drags on, and becomes boring, unimpressive and dull. I think if the film would have been trimmed slightly in length, and the material reworked, The Black Dahlia could have been a stellar mystery film. Unfortunately, not even the excellent cast can save this boring film. The film had plenty of potential to being great, but instead it suffers from long, tired scenes of painful dialogue and the film's story just lingers and goes no where and when there's something that actually is interesting that happens, it's too little too late. The end result is a film that doesn't satisfy and really just disappoints. I thought this film was ultimately terrible, and is one of DePalma's worst efforts. The film could have been good, but DePalma's directing is unfocused and doesn't know where he wants to take the audience, therefore we're left in a boring trance trying to figure out really what is going on. Well, that's not hard to guess, there's nothing going on here, except a potentially great mystery thriller that has been wasted by a director past his prime. That's about it. The Black Dahlia is a boring, dull film and if you're looking for an excellent murder thriller, this film definitely isn't it. I think it's a shame that Brian DePalma wasted such a varied cast of talented actors and I think that if the film would have been directed by someone else, this film would have turned out quite differently. Avoid. |

Driven 2001, PG-13)
Mediocre action film directed by Renny Harlin, Driven is a poorly constructed actioner that not even the good looking racing scenes could save. This is a film that doesn't satisfy, and the cast are terrible in their roles. Driven could have been a good film if it had a better script, a better cast and director. Renny Harlin is the type of director that is really hit and miss. In the case of Driven, it's a miss. Driven could have been a good film, but it misses the mark. The only thing the film relies on is its racing sequence, which I admit are great, but the overall problem with the film is that it lacks substance to its plot, and the film goes nowhere. Like I said, the racing sequences are good, but that's about it. The acting is shallow, unimpressive, and you don't care much the characters. Aside from the entertaining racing bits, this film boring, and Renny Harlin has scored another mediocrity fest. This could have been a great film if it had a different director and a much better script; instead the film is plagued with clichés, bad actors and bad characters. Thus, Driven isn't all that good. Once the credits roll, you end up having mixed feelings on the film, and you realize that the film isn't that good. The film is quite mediocre with only a few mildly entertaining bits with little substance or satisfaction. |

Perfect Creature 2006, R)
Perfect Creature was one of those films that I had high hopes for. Unfortunately, I was let down, and left very disappointed in what I saw. The film had the potential something terrific, but instead it's a total mess of a film. The concept of the film, I have say was very good, unfortunately the execution of a good story, never develops and the film is awful. Which, I think is a terrible thing because the idea of the films plot was very original and intriguing. However, the direction the film takes is poor, and director Glen Standring seems like he can't direct anything good about his interesting script. This had to be the most interesting twist on vampire mythology in quite some time, it's a great shame that the cast and plot don't deliver despite the promising idea for the plot. The films problem is that there's a great concept at work here, but everything else is boring, uninteresting and in the end it makes you bored out of your mind. I think Perfect Creature is one of those films of which had the potential of being so much better than what it turned out to be. This just goes to show that when a director with no experience helms a film with a good concept like this, it ends up being a total dud. As a vampire film, Perfect Creature fails despite the good idea for its plot. |

Orgazmo 1997, R)
Trey Parker's first full length feature film is a one joke nightmare with jokes that so unimpressive and laugh free that Orgazmo could be recommended as a cure for insomnia. This film a total mess from start to finish, and really isn't funny like Trey Parker's later films such as South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, and Team America: World Police. Orgazmo is a poorly written film that isn't funny. The film relies on one joke the whole film, and I simply can't believe that a comedy written by Trey Parker would be also one of the worst. But it is, but this was made way back when they first started out. The comedic delivery of Trey Parker's and Matt stone's has become more precise and funnier over the years. Orgazmo is a sloppy comedic outing that is poorly written, poorly written and poorly acted. Watching this, I was much looking forward to the ending credits. If you love Trey Parker and Matt Stone's work on South Park and are looking for something different, well this isn't it. Orgazmo is a poor comedy with one laugh throughout the entire film, and the film is poorly done. I hated this film, and I was surprised that Trey Parker and Matt Stone made this. Usually they're funny, but with this one, they scored a mediocre, awful comedy that doesn't deliver and is more boring and stupid than anything I've seen in quite some time. If you're looking for a good comedy, Orgazmo isn't the one. This an awful film that I can't recommend. |

Friends With Benefits 2011, R)
Friends with Benefits was a total disappointment for me. I expected so much from this film, but I was let down with film. I thought it was waste of time, with two funny bits in the entire film, and cliché after cliché of every other rom-com that has ever been made before it. The film was quite unfunny, and relied too much on old ideas from other comedies to try and do something new for a romantic comedy. Unfortunately, I didn't think much of this film, and found it quite boring. The film could have been much better than this, and there was so much potential wasted on-screen. As usual, Friends with Benefits is predictable like every other romantic comedy that came before it. What's funnier is that the two main characters make fun of such romantic clichés in the film, yet the film goes the exact same way. To call this a refreshing take on rom-com is really pushing it, I think. I found that the film was derivative and did nothing to appeal to me. This was a pointless film with two comedic bits in the entire film; I laughed twice and was bored for 98% of the film. I really can't recommend this stinker, and I think along with The Hangover Part II, this is one of the worst comedies of the year. I think that's a great shame because the film had potential of being a good comedy film. Unfortunately the film suffers from an awful script and add to that awful performances, and you have a comedy that doesn't deliver the laughs, but delivers boredom. |

House of the Dead 2003, R)
Uwe Boll's zombie movie is one of the worst films in the history of cinema. Uwe Boll has gotten himself the reputation of being one of the worst Hollywood directors in history. Based on a popular video game, House of the Dead is a poorly made film that is beyond awful. House of the Dead will disappoint harden zombie fans because this is poorly conceived trash. This film has one thing going for it, it's unintentionally humorous. This film is so bad, that it's hilarious. Uwe Boll actually placed video games scenes in his movie to give it a "video game" type feel. Instead, it's hilarious. The use of cinematography is criminal in this film. Now, I'm an epileptic, and whenever the camera started spinning, I had to cover my eyes because it felt like I was going to have a seizure. If you're looking for a good, entertaining zombie film, you won't find it here because Uwe Boll can't write an effective plot to his films (under the very rare occasion, he's managed to direct two or three watchable films). However, House of the Dead is not watchable, this is a film with no plot, and bad acting, bad special effects, and it feel like a sci fi channel made for TV movie. House of the Dead is yet another prime example as to why video game to screen adaptations do not work. Occasionally they do, but not in the case of Uwe Boll's House of the Dead. If you're looking for a good zombie action film, watch Resident Evil instead, and skip this film. You'll be glad you did. |

Anger Management 2003, PG-13)
Anger Management had the potential of being a great comedy. Instead, the film fails and is virtually laugh free and really is more boring than entertaining. Adam Sandler is definitely not funny here, and he uses the one trick he's got up his sleeve, which is getting tiresome. His use of comedy is strained, and Sandler relies on his usual comedic antics, and after a few films, it's getting predictable and you end up bored watching Sandler on-screen. Jack Nicholson is great on the other hand; unfortunately he can't save this film from sinking faster than the Titanic. Anger Management is a poorly constructed comedy with one good comedic performance, unfortunately like I said, not even that can redeem this dreadful film. This is a boring film that tiresome and it's a shame because this could have been a good comedy. Unfortunately Adam Sandler is past his prime, and he's plainly horrible, and really isn't funny anymore. Anger Management falls flat halfway through and the film lacks anything remotely engaging to thrill and suck the viewer into the film. This film fails to deliver, and aside from Nicholson's performance, this film isn't funny and fails as a comedy. The screenwriters try too hard at making a comedy, and they ultimately fail in their goal. This is one comedy that doesn't cut it, and if you actually want to laugh, then watch a better comedy than this. This film misses the mark, and a potentially good idea for a film is wasted on-screen because the filmmakers didn't how to develop proper comedic bits. |

In the Army Now 1994, PG)
This was the type of film I thoroughly enjoyed when I was younger. Now looking back, I can't believe the crap I enjoyed when I was young. In the Army Now is a horrible film with a terrible cast. Pauly Shore made two fairly comical films, but unfortunately for him, with this one he started to repeat himself and be very annoying. His antics were decent for at least two films, but over doing the weasel was starting to be painful to watch. The comedy elements of this film fall flat and they never get off the ground. How can they with a one dimensional comedian like Pauly Shore? In the Army Now fails from start to finish. This is simply a poorly written comedy with nothing going for it. The jokes are stale, the acting sucks, and the direction is bad. The film fails to entertain and fails as a comedy. If you're looking for a good comedy, this isn't it. What you can expect from this film is an awful attempt at comedy and yet another folly from Pauly Shore. Encino Man and Son in Law were decent, but this film was the point in Shore's career where he started to be irrelevant with his crap style of humor. His one joke routine worked for two films after that, it didn't. In the Army Now is a poor comedy that at times makes you smile, but never makes you chuckle. Maybe the film would have been better if it had better actors, but since this is a Pauly Shore film, this film is a miss. In the Army Now is significant because, it shows signs of Pauly Shore's dwindling sense of comedic delivery. A forgettable film. |

The Girl Next Door 2004, R)
The Girl Next Door I thought a mediocre comedy with few decent laughs. However this is one film I just didn't enjoy. First off, I really don't like Elisha Cuthbert, though she's really attractive, she definitely can't act, and she's annoying. The film I thought was poorly plotted, with bad acting; directing and I felt that the actors chosen to play the parts didn't really fit. This film might have succeeded if it had a better cast and script, but it didn't, at least not for me. I laughed only a few times, and once the credits rolled, I thought that the film wasn't anything great. Basically this film takes ideas from the classic Risky Business film, and throws it around, and tries to create something new. But the fact is, is that this film doesn't do anything new. The film is poorly done, uses old ideas, and basically makes it more crude, and vulgar to try to appeal to viewers loving this type of comedy. I thought it was a mediocre comedy, with nothing new or interesting about it. Laughed a few times, and quite frankly is one of those films you only need to watch once. This film doesn't do anything to thrill you, and make you laugh with original ideas. The film uses recycled ideas, and adds those elements into a mediocre script. The ends result is a film that doesn't work, and is plagued with mostly unfunny gags that we've seen so many times before. |

Employee of the Month 2006, PG-13)
Employee of the Month is a film that really has some sloppy writing and on-screen gags. This is the type of film that is fairly funny for the first thirty mins or so, but afterwards the film becomes tiresome, boring, and the gags fall apart. Add to that an awful cast of comedians and you have a very forgettable comedy that isn't worth your time. The film suffers from many elements that make an awful comedy. First, Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson. Boring. Awful writing, check. Directing, check. This film is a poorly crafted film that doesn't deliver anything memorable or very funny. The humor elements are tiresome and strained, and really aren't jokes you can laugh at over and over, like so many other classic comedies. Dane Cook is horrible here, he's like his stand up comedy act, and it gets boring and unfunny very quickly. There is no redeeming factor to this film, aside from the end credits. This film is a stale, unimpressive comedy that doesn't stand out due to its poor cast. The film relies on its poor cast to create its humor, and with that in mind, you can rest assure that the comedic deliver is awful. This film misses the mark, and despite having one or two decent gags, this film suffers from poor script writing and a poor cast. This could have been a better comedy. A very forgettable comedy that isn't worth watching. A missed opportunity to make a good film is squandered with poor comic material and basically poor everything. This is a film that suffers from everything that could make a bad film bad. |

Tom and Huck 1996, PG)
Tom and Huck is an awful adaption of Mark Twain's adventure Tom Sawyer. Disney has a knack for creating adaptations of classic stories that are just dreadful to watch. Tom and Huck is such a film. Tom and Huck is a failed attempt at crafting an effective family oriented comedy, and there's really nothing memorable about the film. The film is really a mess from start to finish. The performances are lazy, and unimpressive, and there's nothing going on, on-screen to really grab your attention. The directing and plot is poor, and overall this is yet another Disney film that fails to deliver a memorable good time. I hated this film, and thought it was a waste of time. I think that Disney really missed the mark with this film, and they could've done so much better than this film. Instead, the film is a total misfire, and is a waste of time. Don't go watching this film expecting something great, because you won't find it here. This was horrible. Director Peter Hewitt fails here, and he shows he's a poor director. Tom and Huck please a very young audience, but this won't appeal to an entire family. The film forgettable, and is pointless overall. If you want a good family comedy, skip this one. There's nothing good about this film, and the film really misses the mark at delivering a great time. The acting, plot and directing combine to create an awful film that really isn't worth your time. |

Date Movie 2006, PG-13)
Date Movie is an awful, unfunny comedy that is crude, vulgar and relies on gross-out moments to try and create its humor. The film fails entirely and the comedic elements are horrible. Directors Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg direct this mess, and try to create something funny. Unfortunately they're terrible as a directing team, and they turn Date Movie into another misfire in the parody genre of films. This film is a total mess from beginning to end, and the directors have absolutely no clue at creating effective comedy. If you enjoy great comedies, skip on everything that Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg direct. These two really don't know how to create an effective comedy, and the results are a terrible film that is highly forgettable. If you enjoy parody films, stick films such as Airplane! and Hot Shots! However skip on this film. The comedy elements are so bad that only a person with mental capacity of a vegetable. This film wasn't my kind of film, and it was very bad, and this was one of the worst comedies that I've had the misfortune to see. Skip this film if you want great comedy, as you won't find in here. What you have here with Date Movie is a sad attempt at parody, and it fails all around. I can't understand why anyone would find this funny. If you want a good comedy, skip this film as this is more irritating than actually funny. An awful film. |

Failure to Launch 2006, PG-13)
Failure to Launch is yet another romantic comedy that relies far too much on the usual clichés you'd expect from the countless romantic comedies out there. Everything you'd expect from a romantic comedy is present, and that's not a good thing. Failure to Launch is a mess from start to finish. There are a few mildly funny parts, but the film has so many things wrong with it, that it overshadows the promising elements for this film. The film wasn't my cup of tea, and overall it was a poorly constructed film. Matthew McConaughey I find him to be very misplaced in these types of films, he just ruins his career with films like this. This film was awful, bland, and unimpressive. The Writing limitations show on-screen. The film really ends up being a silly affair after a while, and it becomes pretty annoying. This film had the potential in being a good film; instead director Tom Dey crafts a film that misses the mark in every respect. The lead actors are terrible here, and I don't recommend this film. If you're looking for a good comedy film, you won't find it with Failure to Launch. This is a complete misfire of a film, a film that could have been good, but suffers from a bad director and bad script. With that in mind, you can expect something very bad with this film. Failure to Launch is just like every other rom-coms, clichéd, predictable, silly and most of all, an unfunny, strained film that will bore the viewer. |

Hostage 2005, R)
I expected so much from this film. Going in, I thought this was going to be a phenomenal action thriller. However I was wrong. The first 45 minutes of the film are very interesting and you get a taste of what transpire. However, the film falls apart after that, and becomes tiresome and boring. This film had so much potential, and unfortunately the poor script makes this film a misfire. I thought this was going to be a very good film, and at first, it looked like it was going to be. Unfortunately, the film falls apart, and by the films end, you realize that the film is a mess. The cast is wasted on such a poor film. The directing is poor, and the cast try to do the best they can with such a poorly constructed film, but unfortunately the end result is a film that just fails. The worst thing is that this could have been one memorable action thriller, unfortunately, director Florent Emilio Siri fails with his second act, and Hostage just doesn't deliver the potential it might have delivered if the script would have been better developed. A good cast isn't enough to make this watchable, a good script would have helped, and that's what Hostage lacks, a great script. The film has a good idea, but it's not enough to grab your attention. This film could have been great, but it's a disappointing action film with a good cast. This could have been much better than this. |

Colombiana 2011, PG-13)
Columbiana had the potential of being such a great action film. However that was not to be. I was very much let down by this film, and I thought it failed as an action film. Everything we saw on-screen, we've seen a hundred times before. The sad thing, is that there's some good talent involved in the film, and their skills are wasted on such a poorly constructed action film. I was very much looking forward to seeing Coilumbiana as I very much enjoy Zoe Saldana. Unfortunately the film didn't deliver, and it ended up being a very bad film. The actions scenes were entertaining at times, but in the end it leaves a lot to be desired. What really sucks about the film is that this could have been such a great film, it had the potential of being a memorable, fun action film. For me this is one of the worst films of 2011, and I was disappointed overall. I felt the film was lazy, unimpressive and pretty predictable. Everything you expect that will happen, happens. I felt the film was a total waste, and Columbiana is for me one of the worst of 2011., This is a pointless, bad acted (despite the good talent that's wasted here), they delivered bad performances. Columbiana is nothing new, we've all seen it in previous films, and this one simply doesn't cut it. Coluimbiana is a terrible and exercise caution while watching it, you may be disappointed like I was. This film let me down big time, and was overall, a bad, predictable film that I want to forget. |

Leprechaun 1993, R)
Bad attempt at delivering a comedy horror flick, but still the best in the series (if that says something of importance to you) Leprechaun is a cheesy, poorly made comedy horror film about a killer leprechaun. Starring a very young Jennifer Aniston, in one of her first films roles, Leprechaun is a mess of a horror comedy film. The film is amusing, but it's still a misfire in the genre. I've seen better horror comedies than this, and this one is forgettable. The performances are questionable and the mood of the film is laid back and silly. This could have been a memorable film, but it doesn't do anything memorable. The acting is horrible, and the gags are boring and repetitive. The film has an unimpressive plot that accompanies the absurdity of this film. Leprechaun is a failure as a comedy horror flick, and it's funny, but only because it's such a bad film. The cast are terrible, and the direction of this film is unfocused and flawed. Director Mark Jones's attempt a comedy horror flick fails on all levels. Leprechaun could have been much better than this, but instead it fails to be a memorable comedy horror flick. This is one of Warwick Davis' worst performances, along with the sequels to this train wreck of a film. However this is the better film in the series, despite the fact it's still a bad film. Leprechaun is the type of film that is almost embarrassing to even call a guilty pleasure. |

Leprechaun - Back 2 Tha Hood 2003, R)
The Leprechaun franchise along with the Puppet master series is probably the worst series in the history of horror. Now this is the sixth entry in this uninspired, boring and above all stupid series of films. This sixth and final entry in the series is just as awful as the rest of the previous films. There's nothing interesting or good on-screen, and this is a pointless waste of time. Like the previous films in the series, this film suffers from a poor plot, a poorly written script, bad acting and bad directing. This film was horrible, and I really don't see why they made a sixth entry in this franchise. Having seen all of the Leprechaun films back in my teens, thinking they would be a fun, great-bad horror film to watch, I was wrong. This series doesn't deliver anything entertaining for the viewer expecting something great to come out of it. The Leprechaun franchise could have been a better series, but instead it was given a half assed treatment and the series failed miserably in my opinion, at least with this last lackluster entry, hopefully the Leprechaun is down on his luck for good. Back 2 Tha Hood is a stupid, poorly written film that is almost too bad to be Straight to DVD level. The cast was horrible and there was nothing, absolutely nothing good about this film. Don't watch this if you're expecting something that's so bad it's good, this isn't even in that category. |

Leprechaun in the Hood 2000, R)
Fifth entry in this dreadful series really makes you wonder how can the filmmakers can stretch their "creativity". Well, this entry is just as bad as when they did the Leprechaun in space flick. Just when you thought they already the four most appalling films in Horror Comedy history, the film makers gives us this crap. This in a nut shell, is simply an awful film with no redeeming quality, the film is terrible, the script sucks and the actors seem bored, and are not even doing a half decent job, if you suffer from insomnia, this film may cure you. I don't even know what was the inspiration for this dreadful unnecessary sequel. The film was terrible and had no redeeming qualities. Come to think of it, this series has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. This film was yet another dreadful sequel in a series where all the films are horrible. The film like all the others, suffers from a poorly written script, bad cast, bad directing and cheap production value. This films premise is stupid and this is one of those films that doesn't even belong on a so bat it's good list. This film is plainly bad, and it proves that the filmmakers were really scrapping the bottom of the barrel on this one. This film is a pure waste of time, and if you enjoy a good, cheesy horror comedy, pass up on this one, as it doesn't offer anything good. This film was horrible, and should be avoided. |

Leprechaun 4 - In Space 1996, R)
You can guess by the title of the film that this "film takes place in outer space. This film sucked. I only watched this series so I could see how bad these films were, well, I got more than I bargained for. There's only one film that worked in the "space" genre, and that's Hellraiser: Bloodline. However, this film was a total miss. At least the Hellraiser in space idea was a good one. The story was original for that one, and it was pretty creative. However this isn't the case with this one. For this series, it's clear that the filmmakers didn't care about putting the Leprechaun in the most absurd situations. Of course it's meant to be good, cheesy fun. But I've seen so much better than this. Leprechaun i4 suffers from all the usual elements that this film such a poorly thought out film. Don't get me wrong, I love cheesy horror, but with this series, something really doesn't fit. The film is poorly made, and it's a mess from start to finish. The only good part about the film is the end credits. I don't understand how a studio would finance such a horrid film. This is a film that misses the mark, and really plainly stupid. As if that's a big surprise with a series of a killer leprechaun. The film like all the other in the series are purely bad, and like I said, I don't understand why these films were made, not to mention why people would watch them. I on the other, I guess was mildly curious about the series, and do enjoy a good silly flick, but this one just sucks. |

Leprechaun 2 1994, R)
The first Leprechaun was a bizarre affair of pure cheese that was bad, but mildly amusing. This sequel on the other hand was bad, purely bad. Trying to build on the previous film, to yet more mediocre results, Leprechaun 2 fails to deliver on good bits of comedy horror. The script is poorly written, the comedic delivery is lazy, and overall this is just a rehash of old ideas. Leprechaun is a prime example of a sequel that doesn't work, not to mention that like its predecessor, it's almost as bad. There's nothing satisfactory about this sequel. If you enjoy good, cheesy horror comedies, there are far better films than this one. The problem with the Leprechaun films is that it goes so over board, and a lot of it repeats itself it becomes almost a cliché. The idea is amusing, but the execution is poor. I don't understand why they would make a sequel to a bad comedy horror flick. This sequel doesn't try anything new and it's tiresome, lazy and ridiculous like all the other films. Leprechaun 2 is at least not as bad as so many others in the series, but it still is pretty bad. Oh well, the filmmakers knew what they were doing in delivering a film series that would make them tons of money by constantly delivering garbage. The sequels were simply a way to make a quick buck, with no real script substance, character development or good directing. This is the first awful sequel to a terrible film. Don't expect anything good watching this. |

Leprechaun 3 1995, R)
Leprechaun 3 is just as bad, and poorly constructed as the first two entries. Honestly the series should have been only three films. Unfortunately, there would be three more stupid, pointless and absurd sequels in this series. After two films dealing with a murderous leprechaun you'd think that three films would be enough. This third entry in the series offers little entertainment. The film suffers from a poor cast, poor acting poor directing. The comedic elements don't work, and it makes an irritating comedy horror flick. This is an odd film that tries too hard at being an effective comedy horror film. The humour is so over the top it's not even funny, it's tiresome, and it falls apart quickly. The film tries to do too many things at once and it just doesn't work. By third sequel, the Leprechaun franchise was already showing signs of scrapping the bottom of the barrel. This film third entry doesn't do anything interesting. The ideas are poorly expressed and the film is a vehicle of mediocrity. An awful comedy horror film, Leprechaun 3 misses the mark, and it's just another sequel in a franchise that never should have been. I'm all for cheesy horror, but there's something about these films that don't do it. Leprechau8n 3 should have been the last in this series, and this is yet another sequel that is stupid, poorly thought, one that doesn't do anything to really entertain. Once the notion of the killer leprechaun wears off, and it does, you realize these films really are a waste of time. Third film is like all the others, boring, stupid and dull. |

Chairman of the Board 1998, PG-13)
I originally saw this when it came out, I was twelve at the time, and even back then I didn't think that this film was funny. Chairman of the Board is a dreadful mess of a movie with a poor script, poor acting and poor dialogue. The gags are horrible, and lead actor Carrot Top proves he's one annoying actor by delivering his "unique and irritating" brand of humour. I don't see how anyone could find this train wreck funny. This is humour at its lowest form. Chairman of the Board is boring, pathetic garbage. The film tries too hard at making you laugh with its boring jokes, only thing is, the jokes fall flat, and never take off. If you've ever had doubts about Carrot Top's comic delivery, this film will definitely give you a taste of what he's capable of-that's not saying much. This film is so poorly conceived I can't believe that they green lit this crap./ This film was awful with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. IO was bored with this film, and thought that it was an absolute waste of time. The film suffered from poor writing and a bad cast. The lead actor Carrot Top proves that he's a bad comedian, and really can't act in a film, much less perform a good comedy skit. If you're looking for a good comedy, this film definitely isn't it. This film scraps the bottom of the barrel and is one of the worst comedies that I have seen. The only recommendations I can give for this one is to avoid it. |

RocketMan (Rocket Man) 1997, PG)
Rocketman is a horrible comedy with a bad cast. I've never liked Harland Williams, I find him to be quite one dimensional. This an awful film that has nothing whatsoever going for it. The comedy falls flat, and in the end there's nothing good about this. The film fails to deliver memorable gags and good jokes. The performances are horrible, and the film is total crap. I hated this one, this is a bad film that is a comedy worth forgetting. Harland Williams is a one of the worst comedians, and his only good film was Halfed Baked. If you give him the lead role, well you get garbage like this. The comedy sucks, and the actors seem bored, I can't blame theme. The film should never have been made. This is a painful comedy that doesn't deliver on anything. The humour is juvenile, poorly written and just misses the mark. Maybe this film could have worked. Unfortunately it doesn't. Rocketman is a horrible film, and is one of the worst comedies that I have seen. Rocketman is a film that is poorly conceived, poorly written and plainly boring from start to finish. This film proves that Harland Williams isn't a good comedic actor, and this is a bland film that is too silly too really get into and enjoy. Avoid this film and watch something else, you'll be better off. This film just sucks. |

Leave It to Beaver 1997, PG)
Leave it to Beaver is a painful family oriented comedy that is dreadful from start to finish. I felt that the film was poorly constructed, and did not withstand multiple viewings. I find that there are better family films out there than this, and this one just doesn't cut it. The acting is horrible, the script is bad and this is one awful, forgettable film that you should avoid. This is a failed attempt at bringing the classic TV show to the screen. I found nothing entertaining about this film, and nothing worked. For me, this film was just an awful mess, one that should never have been made. This is a lame excuse for a family oriented comedy, and it simply plays out on all the usual clichés that you'd expect from the genre. Even with a script rewrite, I don't think this film would have been watchable. Leave it Beaver fails on all fronts, and everyone involved in this mess should be ashamed. I thought this was too simplistic to enjoy, while most family comedies have a bit more substance, this film lacked that big time. This film failed at delivering anything really entertaining and fun. A pointless film that never should have seen the light of day, Leave it to Beaver is a film that misses the mark due to a bad script, and a painful cast. I hated this film, and it's one of those films that really is forgettable. A film that never should have been made, this is one of the worst family oriented comedies that I have seen. |

Puppet Master IV (Puppet Master 4) 1993, R)
Awful film. Tiresome and uninspired, this fourth entry abruptly changes direction from the last two sequels. Unfortunately the result is a very stupid film that tries far too hard at being a great tongue in cheeks sci fi horror flick. The film doesn't pay off, and it ends up being the worst entry in the first five outings. This film is painful to watch. If you're looking for a fun horror flick, this film isn't. Puppet Master 4 is a poorly crafted film of which no effort has been put into the film, you clearly see that on-screen. The cast are bad, and give awful performances, the directing is bad and it's clear that the director has no interest in trying to make a good film whatsoever. That's often the case with straight to DVD titles, there is no effort put into the films because no one will be interested watching them. The film has all the trademarks of what makes a bad straight to DVD title. The film looks cheap, just like every other film in this series, the story is minimalistic, silly and stupid and add to that a cast that can't act. This film is horrible, and is one of the most stupid films in this entire series. This film should be seen as a how not to make a film. Disappointing, and utter waste of time, Puppet Master is a horrible mess from start to finish, one that isn't worth anyone's time. Watch something else, you'll be glad you did, because this film is simply just stupid, and makes you wonder as to why you even watched it in the first place. Watch something different, as this is a stupid, pointless, poorly constructed film that never should have been green lit. |

Puppet Master V (Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter) 1994, R)
For a supposed final film, The Final Chapter is a mess that lacks anything to truly engage the viewer. I know that this series meant to be tongue in cheek, but really there are better films in the genre considering. There really couldn't be anything to peak your interest in this one, this film suffers from everything which made the sequels so tiresome. The film is poorly done. Again, we have a film which has decent ideas, but they never really come to fruition. The film bad, and has nothing to truly entertain you. If you're hoping to an end to this series, you'll be sad to know that The Final Chapter is not the end. How can the studio keep these awful films coming, you ask? I really can't answer that, but it's always the same, to milk out a series to the fullest until it really has nothing left to give. With this fifth entry, you realize that there are no more decent ideas for films. Everything that would have made an interest film is not present here, and it's simply a waste of celluloid. There's simply nothing to works here to elevate this film to a memorable or good status. This is a film that is dull, boring and poorly done. With every sequel the studio puts out for this series, every film fails to be truly good entertain, and ends up falls flat right from the get go. If you think this so called final chapter is bad, wait till you watch the sequels that came after it. Either way, this should truly have been the real ending to this series that never should have existed. Puppet Master did not need ten sequels. Not the last chapter and it's a pretty bad flick. |

Curse of the Puppet Master 1998, R)
Less awful, but still pretty bad, Curse of the Puppet Master is a mess of a film, but compared to future entries, it's not as bad. Still the film is yet another poorly done sequel of which the potential completely wasted on-screen. I don't even know why they filmed a sequel to the alleged final chapter of the series, of which only the first film was good. This is a lazy film with a boring plot, poor acting and poor directing. This film should never have been made in the first place because afterwards, all the sequels in the Puppet Master series took a hefty nose dive and become even worst by each entry. Of the first sequels to be made after the final chapter, this film is pretty poor, but at least isn't as bad as many others that came after it. This film just shows that the series was truly taking a turn for the worst. Although not a bad film compared to others, this sequel still isn't one that I would recommend that you check out. I really hated this one, and it just goes to show that when a series supposedly ends, they'll four other sequels that are made just for the sake of keeping the series going, and it doesn't even matter if the film are good. Well, this series should have ended with the fifth, but never did. An awful film that lacks any style, creativity and a good plot make the Curse of the Puppet Master a horrible film, and a small taste of other even more horrible sequels. |

Puppet Master: The Legacy 2003, Unrated)
Yet another poorly conceived mess that never should have been. This sequel raises important questions, how can they keep making these awful sequels that aren't good? Really. There should be a law against making bad films. Unfortunately there isn't. What we have here is the seventh entry in this series of cheesy, tongue in cheek Sci Fi horror flicks. Puppetmaster: The Legacy has everything that made the sequels bad. But this time around the film just plays out with flashback sequences and recounts the terrifying exploits of the puppets. To me, that's all it was. The film was horribly put together film that was unnecessary. This film was awful. The filmmakers clearly had no inspiration whatsoever when making this one, and it should be a big surprise either because they never did in trying to come up with effective ideas for sequels. The Legacy is a compilation of flashbacks set to a poorly written story that just doesn't cut it. The best thing about the film is its short run time. If you're looking for a good flick, you won't find it here, the film is bad, and doesn't have anything good going for it. I shouldn't say bad, I should say awful, because this is a summary of every previous sequel that came before it. Avoid this flick like with every other sequel. This film was not needed and by watching it, you clearly understand why. You're definitely not missing much if you're an avid follower of the series, and haven't seen this film. Watching paint dry was better than this. Just another pointless film. |

Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys (Demonic Toys 3) 2004, Unrated)
A crossover made TV film with the Puppetmaster characters and Demonic Toys might be a somewhat bizarre, yet interesting affair if it would have been done right. However, like with every other sequel in this mess of a series, Puppetmaster VS Demonic Toys is one of the most awful films in horror. I've seen a lot of films, but this one is bad, stupid with poor ideas on-screen. This might have worked if there would have been an interesting angle on the subject, unfortunately this feels like the scriptwriters just didn't care about the end result, and it clearly shows on-screen. Everything about the film suffers, from the cast, to the story to the directing, everything is poorly done and this film ends up like every other sequel in the series, an awful mess that isn't worth watching. The poorly written script is one of many bad things going wrong for this film. I hated the film, thought it was a waste of time. As a horror film, it fails, if this is supposed to be funny, sort of like a comedy horror film, well it isn't. I found it appalling at how bad this film was. The film should never have been made and there's nothing to enjoy about the film. There was potential in the film, and if they would have done it in the series early years, when the sequels weren't as bad as they became in subsequent years, then maybe this film would have turned out good. Unfortunately this is yet a film that misses the mark, and isn't worth watching. |

Puppet Master: Axis of Evil 2010, Unrated)
A ninth entry in the series just for the sake of pleasing fans of this trash and keep DVD sales up, Puppetmaster:Axis of Evil is yet another poorly conceived mess that really makes you wonder when are they going to end this abysmal series? This is yet another pointless exercise in crappy cinema making. The film has an awful cast, awful special effects, awful directing, and nothing, absolutely interesting to the viewer. I love a good cheesy horror flick, but with this series, it just gets worst with every entry and there's absolutely nothing to redeem, this wreck of a so called film. This film is plainly awful, a film that never should have been made in the first place. If you're looking for a horrible horror flick, hey this is the perfect film for you to watch. However, if you expect something good with this film, you'll be sadly disappointed. This film was a waste of time, and a poorly constructed film where the filmmakers simply didn't care what they were doing. The film is one to avoid. Watch a better film than this. However if you're a fan of the series, you'll probably enjoy this film because it has everything from the previous entries, and in my case I don't think it's a good thing, but for fans that may be something to look forward too. The film should be avoided if you are new to the franchise, and aren't familiar with these films. I view this as yet another awful film, one that fails to deliver good entertainment. I wonder when they'll stop making these films. |

The Proposal 2009, PG-13)
The Proposal is an awful film that relies on every romantic film cliché in the book. The film suffers from a poorly written script, poor acting and very bad directing. This film is plainly horrible, and is just not worth anyone's time. The film has absolutely nothing new to offer, and only thing it delivers is a strained formula that is overdone and not interesting anymore. The film was poorly done with no redeeming qualities. The film is poorly done, and they could have done something interesting here, but the film simply falls flat and becomes tiring very quickly. The weakness about this film is the poorly written script, and it feels like they simply just cut and pasted other elements from previous rom-com to make this film. The result is a horrible film, and is one that I found painful to finish, however I managed to do it. This is a definite failure of a comedy, one that a poor cast and poor directing has made this film a film to avoid. I hated this film. I thought it was a waste of time I wish they would stop making romantic comedies because it's always predictable despite a different twist on a familiar story. This film was horrible and the only I can recommend you is to avoid this. Sandra Bullock is better than this. Even Ryan Reynolds. However in this film they're awful. The Proposal is a cliché riddled film that is not worth your time. Watch Bridesmaids instead, you're time will be better spent watching that film that this piece of garbage. |

The Devil Inside 2012, R)
The Devil Inside is that film that has the misfortune in being released in the period where Found Footage films are becoming tiresome, uninspired and a waste of time. This isn't the first Found Footage flick to deal with Exorcisms since 2010's The Last Exorcism. This film is one of the worst horror films in recent memory. What it lacks the most is substance. This film had so much potential in being an effective horror film. Unfortunately, it ends up being one of the worst. The film misfires and instead of delivering great chills (except for an exorcism halfway through the film), this film fails. The Devil Inside relies on the usual clichés, and doesn't try anything new, bold or exciting to thrill the viewer. What's really a shame here is that the two actors playing the priests are very good in their roles, unfortunately the film doesn't work. The script is poorly written, and the material is taken from other genre films. This is one of those films that is predictable and really isn't worth your time. I personally feel that Found Footage films are a thing of the past, and aren't great. Apollo 18 was a decent flick, but it should have ended with that one. Guess they're going to keep on making these types of films just for the sake of cashing in on it. As far as I'm concerned, they all follow the same formula, and really don't offer anything new. The Devil Inside might have been a good effort if the script would have been reworked, but it becomes one of the worst horror flocks in recent memory and the ending will surely disappoint. |

102 Dalmatians 2000, G)
Sequel to an already terrible film, 102 Dalmatians is a film that is one of those films that is awful, due to a poor cast, poor writing, and poor directing. The cast assembled for this mess are horrible, the film is supposed to be fun, but ends up being stupid and pointless. This is one film that should never have been made. The film is made to simply cash in on the success of the first, which was poorly made as well. I really don't know why Disney has remade some of their most beloved classic films and it doesn't pay off. The films don't work, and they just end up being a stupid, pointless excuse to make more money. I hated this film, felt it lacked any real fire to truly make it stand out, which like the remake of the first didn't do that. Stick with the old school animated Disney features, Disney really missed the mark with these films, and it doesn't do anything to entertain. The film is horrible, and what's supposed to be entertaining, ends up being a stupid excuse for entertainment. This film doesn't work, and as a sequel it fails more than once, and it's one of those rare sequels that are worst that is worse than the first. Avoid this poorly constructed family film; you will waste your time if you check it out. The film is poorly constructed and is a mess from start to finish. If you're looking for a good family oriented film, this one isn't it. This is a film definitely not worth your time. |

Amusement 2008, R)
Painful horror yarn, Amusement is a misfire in the genre. I felt that the film was stupid and poorly constructed. Amusement fails to thrill and becomes a pointless film that tries too hard at delivering chills, which ultimately doesn't work. The cast here is simply terrible, and every actor is forgettable in their parts. This film is horrible, and for me anyways was one of the worst horror flicks that I had the misfortune to see in recent memory. Director John Simpson clearly has no clue how to develop a good script, and its limitations show on-screen. This film might have worked, but its script is poorly written, and there was no real effort put into this film. This film was horrible, a total waste of time. If you're looking for an effective horror film, this film isn't it. This film doesn't stand out, and ends up being a painful viewing for the viewer. Amusement, unlike its title would suggest isn't amusing. This film is boring and poorly constructed. I hated the film, felt it could have been much better than this, and this was a missed opportunity to create something good. This film doesn't deliver good chills. If only the filmmakers would have given this film more attention, a chance for the film to be better than this. Amusement is an awful film, one that misses the mark, and there's really nothing here to really enjoy or to thrill the viewer. You're time would better spent watching a better horror film. This is a poorly constructed film that really doesn't cut it. |

Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story 2005, Unrated)
Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story is a painful comedy that continues the series. Unfortunately unlike the first three seasons, this film is horrible, and never should have been made. I hated this film. The film started off good, but quickly became an unfunny mess. I thought that this film was horrible, and afterwards I lost interest in the show. This was probably Seth McFarlane's way of competing against The Simpsons Movie, but it backfired. Everything that made the show funny is absent and it revolves around unfunny jokes that don't work. This film was painful to watch and it really didn't entertain me. This was a wreck, the comedic elements were awful, the film felt lazy, and rushed. This film was simply stupid and if you're looking to watch it, don't go expecting something great, because you won't find it here. If you want the better film, check out The Simpsons Movie instead. When Family Guy debuted, it was such a funny show, now over the years it has dwindled into a painful unfunny affair. This film is proof of that. A lot of potential was wasted here, and the team from Family Guy could have delivered something a lot better than this. If you're a diehard fan of the show, you may like or hate this, but overall this is one of the most awful comedies that I had the misfortune to watch. If you're looking for a great cartoon comedy, avoid this one. The film is horrible, and is quite unfunny. It's poor attempt at humor is proof of that. |

We Are Marshall 2006, PG)
We Are Marshall is an over bearing cliché riddled feel good film that unfortunately doesn't deliver. This is the type of film we've seen many times before. This film doesn't work and is quite tiresome. I really didn't enjoy the film, and was very disappointed in the way it turned out. I was very much looking forward in seeing this film, and when I did, the only thing I noticed was the standard sports clichés set to a real life tragedy. The film did start off well, but afterwards it played on it clichés to deliver its entertainment. The cast seem to overdo their performances on-screen. Overall there is nothing really good to take away from this film. The film is too predictable, and it ends up being another feel good sports drama. There's nothing within the film to really make it a stand out film, and it doesn't break new ground or do anything new in the genre. We Are Marshall is the same old tired out formula that seems to plague sports dramas. With this film, there's really no performance that really stands out. I felt the cast was pretty bland. I felt that considering that this is a true story, there could have been a lot more effort put into it. But in the end, We Are Marshall is a cliché riddled film that simply is no different than any other films in this genre. There are better films out there, than this one. We Are Marshall simply don't deliver anything new or refreshing, something that is much needed in this genre. Expect a film with lots of clichés with this one, and you may not be disappointed. I for one, was, and didn't think too much of this film. |
