Worst movies you\'ve ever seen
 

Just watched "Premonition" with Sandra Bullock a few days ago. I have to say this was a huge let-down after I saw the preview in theatres a few months ago.

The storyline actually has a lot of potential. Sandra Bullock's character "Linda" does the normal routine of dropping her two little girls off to school, but when she gets home she is soon greeted by a State Trooper informing her that her husband has died in a car accident. The next day she wakes up and he is alive again, and the next day he is dead again. The writer tries to insert a lot of cool details to make the movie better but really just confuses everybody and fails miserably. Trying to make sense of the storyline is a chore in itself. Sandra Bullock shows little emotion throughout the movie, and when she does it's often exaggarated and / or unwarranted. It seems like she has no chemistry with the rest of the cast, specifically her husband. This was a very tough movie to sit through, very hard to make sense of what was going on and I didn't care enough to actually try. After the first half hour I just wanted to die, it was that bad.

The ending was a dissapointment, which speaks volumes considering my expectations were already so low. I was thrilled that the movie was finally over however, but I deeply regret not looking at the reviews before I rented this piece of garbage.

Oh wait, you mean worst movies. Sorry, misunderstood.

This movie played out like a 5th grader's 1st attempt at creative writing. You could have put the best actors from all time in their prime in this film and it still would have been terrible. Paul Giamatti, wtf were you thinking? M. Night should never be allowed to make movies again after throwing together this piece of crap which he probably wrote when he WAS in 5th grade, had to meet a deadline, paid somebody to type it up for him, and handed it in.

I can see the meetings going on in my head...
Exec 1 : "this...this is terrible"
Exec 2 : "maybe we just don't get it. I never got that whole 6th sense thing and mackeraloony did that thing bank!"
Exec 1 : "you're right. let's move on this asap"

I thought it was reasonably entertaining, but have no desire to see it again. They needed more of that wolf. Plus I like Bryce.

This was originally a PM to Prior, but I didn't care enough to flesh it out into a Lounge thread. But I think its interesting how "Lady" and "Pan's" both dealt with an oral tradition in such different ways.

To start, I've never liked M. Night. At all. I thought "Sixth Sense" was completely boring after the first viewing, "Signs" made me roll my eyes, "Unbreakable" made me cringe, etc. I'm no filmie or educated critic, though, so I kept giving him a shot. Obviously I was missing something, right?

Two nights ago I rented "Lady in the Water." I thought it was horribly disjointed, confusing, and disappointing. There's a "narf," who's trying to avoid a "Dwight Schrute," and needs the help of Giamatti. We're given this line early, and then halfway through we're told that there are also Guardians, Guilds, Healers, and some sort of monkey creature that regulates the Schrutes, only they aren't this time because sometimes they don't. We get to know, oh so slightly, a group of stoners who turn out not to be anything than a way for Shyamalan to fit in stoner dialogue. To top it off, Shyamalan casts HIMSELF as a writer whose brilliance won't be understood until after his death. Christ.

I never really heard much about this movie, but I thought it was his worst of those I've seen, and since I've hated everything he's done, that's saying something. On the other hand, I'm under the impression people in general love his work, and none of my friends are film critics, so I thought I'd ask what you thought of him in general and "Lady in the Water" in particular.

If I'd just watched that movie, I probably wouldn't have sent you a PM. But, instead, by some weird quirk, I watched "Pan's Labyrinth" the night after I watched "Lady in the Water." A lot of comparisons jumped out at me right away. Both use fairytales and storytelling as central elements int he film. Both mix fantasy with reality. Both films discuss roles, obedience, and fate in connection with both reality and fantasy. But "Pan's" was so, so much better. I really thought that "Lady" used the mundane to explore the power of stories - and did so really badly - while "Pan's" used fantasy/stories to explore real life, to much greater effect. After I got done watching "Pan's," all I could think about was that the two movies used similar worlds to explore similar issues, but "Pan's" was light years ahead of "Lady."

The Wicker Man, not even a question. Cage's acting was so bad that it actually turned into a comedy. Damn, it really sucked.

Re: Worst movies you\'ve ever seen
 

Two worst movies: Python (2000) and Sabretooth (2002)

I think the only reason that the writers of Python weren't able to sue the "writers" of Sabretooth was because of how amazingly bad the Sabretooth CGI was in this move.

Speed 2 was also a pretty bad movie.

I watched this movie with some friends who were blazed out of their mind. On a couple of occasions it was paused so that one of them could shout in a marginally coherent frenzy. "OUR CHILDREN WANT TO BE THIS! GODDAMMIT THEY ARE RUINING EVERYTHING! HOLY [censored] IS THAT CAMEL TOE?" An entertaining experience to be sure.

Be Cool was a pretty dumb movie, but everyone knew that going in. It wasn't horrifically bad like Caddyshack II though.

Since following the challenging plot developments was already difficult for them at the time, it was decided this was for the best for everybody. In retrospect, they might have just been pausing it to admire the camel toe.

Jiminy crickets, this is an awful movie. Even the promise of seeing a side-shot of Elisabeth Shue's boob won't make me watch it from the beginning. Sadly, I usually can't turn away if I happen upon it while channel surfing.

holy [censored], that crappy movie was one annoying awkward movement after another. I made the wife watch at least 5 bad actions movies with me to make up for it.

Sin City. What a piece of crap.

Re: Worst movies you\'ve ever seen
 

"Alexander" with Colin Farrell was awful. Note to movie directors: if you're gonna cast Angelina Jolie, don't cast her as a 60 year old woman with makeup that makes her look ugly. There was one speech in particular by Anthony Hopkins at the end that tried to be all deep and powerful, but was just so [censored] stupid. Me and my friends were laughing at how bad it was. And then Oliver Stone said some BS about how American audiences don't appreciate movies like that or something. Dude, the movie blew giant donkey balls.
