The teenagers seem as smartassed as any others ever filmed, I guess.
Benham Jones thanks for comments, I’ll still see the film if/when I get a chance but I do always like hearing an opposing view.
Roscoe, I forgot Sweeney Todd, loved it but somehow completely misplaced it in my mind. I never got to see Cold Mountain actually, but at least in context to its soundtrack, it was pretty fantastic….
Of course the same can be said about Mamma Mia too….
Ivan, I figured out what you meant a moment too late. Good take.
Actually monster, there are always Metacritc and rottentomatoes.
Ivan-I’m probably a lot older than you but dreck has always dominated the film marketplace-it’s not something new. there was no golden era where the populace flocked to Bergman and Fellini films.
Roscoe-I’m not here to defend Chicago but to trash it and than praise the hideous Moulin Rouge makes no sense. You mention bad singing in Chicago but forget the bad singing in Moulin Rouge. And Luhrman a talented director? On what basis? Australia? And wasDepp’s singing in Sweeney Todd any better than Richard Gere’s in Chicago? Altho I admit to liking Sweeney Todd.
The Dark Knight
King Kong (once we get to the island)
Be Kind Rewind (which made Science of Sleep look better…!)
I loved Crash but, on the other hand, did see The Love Guru. I think I can safely say that was the worst movie ever of the past ten years.
Well Steve, people’s attention spans seem to be getting an awful lot shorter. They seem to be attracted to cheap thrills and big explosions. They only care for “cool” cardboard characters. Character development is pretty much nonexistant in all the films I’ve seen this year. Lamentably none of them very smart.
I would say all of them, but that would be a broad-brushstroke of an overgeneralization.
Doubt was not of liking to me.
POULTRYGEIST. Awful awful awful. And offensive, not even on a funny level, and I usually like offensive.. Within 5 minutes, it had already made fun of aboriginals and lesbians.
Fuck Troma.
across the universe.
Hopelessly Addicted,
“The Dark Knight

Be Kind Rewind (which made Science of Sleep look better…!)”
ok so you obviously dont watch many movies and/or you like to post incoherent and idiotic comments

Transformers 2
doesnt get much worse
^ yes it does:
Diary of the Dead
Dance Fuck…i mean Dance Flick
Ghost Rider
Wild Hogs
Cat in the Hat
I like Diary of the Dead.
Haven’t seen the others of that list, though, for a reason.
—DiB
diary of the dead is one of the worst films ive ever seen i dont understand why people like it
terrible acting
terrible directing
terrible script
terrible cinematography
terribly cliche story that has been done before countless times
Ive been waiting for the day when Romero decides to bring himself back from the dead and I thought his latest film was it but nope, still waiting.
diary of the dead was bad particularly coming after the very good Land of the Dead
Troma films are supposed to be bad and tasteless and Poultrygiest wasn’t the classic Toxic Avenger, Troma’s War or even Tromio and Juliet but it wasn’t the worst.
The worst was the first Garfield movie.
The Garfield comic strip consists of him kicking Odie, making fun of John and eating and sleeping like he suffers from depression and all of his values seem to be celebrated. Also, John is so oblivious that the amout of humilation he suffers never matters because it does not seem to register with him. It is a vicious strip then Davis tries to have it both ways by making Garfield a hero in the movies.
Also, Nina Vadellos (however u spell that ) made I hate Valentine’s Day, Life in Ruins and My big fat Greek Wedding which at least must be the worst triple feature of the decade
DEN: I understand that Troma is supposed to bad and made in bad taste, but POULTRYGEIST was unbearable. TROMEO & JULIET is worlds superior, as tasteless as it is.
i didn’t mind poultrygeist as much as the films I mentioned
I was happy to see some Troma regulars and tho I don’t remember laughing
I likely smiled a few times
Too many mainstream features to name,.. the bad ones that catch my attention are the ones that earn over 500million .. like twilight. that suxed, but christ!!! it made a bundle. its a money making machine.
I have not seen avatar, so i won’t comment.
Alright, if Chicago is going to be thrown into this, I have to say Nine.
Whereas the numbers in Chicago worked occasionally, the ONLY redeeming factor of Nine was the amazing performance by Marion Cotillard…yeah, I am going to say Nine was terrible.
@Sekzee: Honestly, I saw Diary of the Dead as Romero seeing all of that “first person cinematographer” stuff and saying, “No no no, guys, guys! Watch an old master do it!” And I think he did it with aplomb. I especially love the mansion sequences.
I also saw it as a shout-out for the YouTube generation in a not curmudgeony or on the flip side self-involved way. A sort of, “Look, here is what we have going for us, so when the zombie apocalypse hits, here’s what you gotta do for us.”

I got you all beat. “Beverly Hills Chihuahua.” Tie me to a ceiling fan like a Gremlin and let it spin out of control already. And yes…I got two lil’ ones, so sometimes I have to swallow my pride and partake. Although, the new “Tooth Fairy” may take the throne. You know….the one with that ex-2×4-wielding-ass-kickin’-now-unsure-what-the-hell-to-do-with-his-career dude, formerly known as The Rock.
I’ll see your Crash and raise you one American Gun.
Oh, Chicago was atrocious as well.
i don’t know how i made it through ‘me you and everyone we know’ without tying at least four nooses and using all of them
that movie came out this past decade, right? anyway
“me and you and everyone we know” was gruesome. also “factory girl”. everything about it was bad.
Absolutley ANYTHING made by Michael Bay! The man is an embarrassment to the art of filmmaking!

Your claim that Eastwood’s performance is not compatible with the others.
