Movies that blow

[Nantucket Red]

Hercules in New York gets my vote for worst movie of all time. This was Arnold Schwartznegger's first movie and his voice is dubbed, but the corniness of it only helps add humor to the juvenile dialogue. This one is so bad it's good, not to mention that it stars the Governor of California.

There is also an undubbed version.

Dave was a very bad movie, funny, albeit unintentionally.

finally got around to watching it, yeah i thought it was ok. Certainly not outstanding, but definitely watchable. It did make me want to read the book. Not a movie, but over the past couple of weeks I worked my way through the box set of Undeclared. Very cool. Not quite up to the standard Apatow set with Freaks and Geeks, but still a lot better than a lot of shows that lasted a lot longer.

i was drunk and it was still bad...

Ocean's 12 sucked/blew.

I thought the whole Julia Roberts bit was amusing. I didn't think the first one was that great, either, so I was surprised when they made another. Soderbergh should go back to making quirky stuff like Schizopolis.

I hate anything by Michael Bay and anything with Ben Affleck. When you put the two together its like cinematic alchemy... but in reverse. Also any of those chick flicks where Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts (and that stupid scream/yelp she does in everyone of her stupid movies), or Meg Ryan and her ass lips and some balding jackass all play these one dimensional- interchangeable- eating ice cream complaining to the fat funny friend about how they cant find true love characters. Romantic comedies have killed romance. Plus they're just a waste of good beer and that I just cant tolerate.

Recent movies that have sucked:
Silent Hill
She Hate Me
Firewall

She Hate Me sucked? I was looking forward to that one.

Generic greeting! Statement of affirmation and good will. Reference to shared cinematic experience. Witty quip!

Statement of affirmation. Laughter caused by aforementioned post's wittyness

Torque.

Laughable at best, cringe inducing lameness at the worst. The scenes twords the end when the motorcyclists are fighting each other while racing at 200 MPH down a crowded city street. And the two chicks fighting each other by acrobatically riding their street bikes was incredibly bad as well. Ice Cube was in it. Need I say more?

i kinda liked it, there was lots of sex. and the final scene was a confirmation that yes, this film was made by a heterosexual male.

movie i just saw that i thought was a waste: Keeping up with the Steins. it was real Afternoon Special material. i mean, Jeremy Piven? Larry Miller? sounds like a winner, no? but then, continue on with the credits and you find both Garry Marshall and Scott 'nephew of' Marshall (as the director), not to mention Jami Gertz. Darryl Hannah was just a puzzling casting choice.

Who else has seen something that sucked lately?

Watched Aeon Flux this weekend - actually thought it was quite good. Definitely a different vision of the future... not just another Bladerunner ripoff, but some truly interesting design elements.

Plus - you gotta love Charlize when she wakes up from sleeping and is just wearing that little strappy outfit.

I don't know if this has already been covered but I would like to add Date Movie to the list.

She Hate Me was a big unnecessary mess, left me wondering what the point was. If anyone "got" this movie then please explain what I missed because I usually like Spike Lee movies.

Charlize aside any Peter Chung fan was let down by Aeon Flux. Maybe the Rugrats movie will be better.

I will say Grandma's Boy was a great comedy and worth watching.
