driveby Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 100: The Hottie & The Nottie "The most eagerly hated movie in America is a tongue-in-cheek homage to Paris Hilton that has drawn nothing but poisonous reviews. On IMDb it has been voted the worst film ever made" - James Christopher 99: Sex and the City "Everything great about the series has been lost in transition. The fizz has gone, the fun looks fake and the laughs are few" - Cosmo Landesman 98: The Incredible Hulk "Millions of dollars of computer software at their disposal and the best they can come up with is something that looks like angry Plasticine" - Wendy Ide 97: Wanted "A movie ruthlessly designed for an audience of comic nerds who suspect that they are destined for greater things" - Kevin Maher 96: My Blueberry Nights "Wong Kar Wai’s first English-language film, and I, for one, hope it will be his last. Something got lost in the translation: his talent" - Cosmo Landesman 95: Easy Virtue "A criminal waste of Colin Firth – arguably the most charming man in British cinema – in a role that requires him to shuffle around looking like an unmade bed" - Wendy Ide 94: Zack and Miri Make a Porno "Seth Rogen is an amiable and chubby clown, and quite possibly the most unconvincing romantic hero since Adam Sandler. The most soppy and unsexy 18-certificate skin-flick ever made" - James Christopher 93: Hannah Montana "Miley Cyrus hails from the Hilary Duff school of wholesome, squeaky-clean candy pop. She comes across as another (fake) blonde singing vacuous fluff, complete with pushy stage mom" - Saadeya Shamsuddin 92: The Oxford Murders "Imagine The Da Vinci Code remade by a philosophy student, set mostly in Oxford bedsits starring Elijah Wood in the Tom Hanks role, and featuring the world’s most unerotic sex scene" - Kevin Maher 91: Mister Lonely "Harmony Korine's bizarre film about a group of celebrity impersonators who hole up in a Scottish castle: gives The Cottage a respectable run for its money in terms of making no sense at all" - James Christopher 90: The X-Files: I Want to Believe "It’s just not very good; it’s an average episode of the TV series stretched to feature length" - Wendy Ide 89: Fine, Totally Fine "If you’re someone who can never have enough Hello Kitty merchandise, this might be just the film for you, but I would have found it hard to bear even without the winsome music that dribbles through every scene" - Edward Porter 88: The Good Night "While I hate to start chucking around charges of nepotism, I find it hard to believe Gwyneth Paltrow would have signed up were it not written and directed by her little brother" - Wendy Ide 87: Leatherheads "Oh dear. You have to love George Clooney or American football a lot to want to see this one" - Cosmo Landesman 86: The Bank Job "The realism here doesn't bear much scrutiny, unless the London of 1971 was populated exclusively by decent criminals, bent coppers, topless barmaids and sinister Whitehall toffs in S&M knocking shops" - Kevin Maher 85: Penelope "Christina Ricci dons a prosthetic pig's nose as a woman bearing the brunt of her family's curse. The curse can be broken only when Ricci sacks the agent advising her to take films like this" - Wendy Ide 84: Speed Racer "I can’t begin to describe how creepy this futuristic movie is. The famous actors look more plastic than the sets and the plot is a video game" - James Christopher 83: Cassandra's Dream "Ultimately, the accents are excruciating, the class observations simplistic (everyone is either posh or poor) and the sense of place muddled at best" - Kevin Maher 82: The Romance of Astrea and Celadon "Talky, tediously overlong and crammed with kitsch, postcard-pretty country scenery; culminates in a cross-dressing pseudo-lesbian clinch" - Wendy Ide 81: City of Ember "Looks like an early Heath Robinson experiment. The sets are held together by bits of string, and the costumes are supplied by Oxfam" - James Christopher 80: 10,000 BC "Don't expect Roland Emmerich's film to make much sense, historically, geographically or logically. This is an effects-driven action flick that happens to be wearing a leather loincloth and brandishing a spear" - Wendy Ide 79: Flawless "Demi Moore still boasts the best voice in the business (an alluring mix of sandpaper on granite, with a dash of honey), but as an actor she is here frequently upstaged by the magnificent foyer of the Grand Theatre in Luxembourg" - Kevin Maher 78: Taken "A corny, dumb and sentimental tale of revenge by a Superdad terminator who rampages through Paris, wasting bad guys" - Cosmo Landesman 77: Jumper "Samuel L. Jackson valiantly attempts to look menacing while wearing what looks like a white rubber bathing cap on his head" - Wendy Ide 76: The Chaser "In the latest scuzzy, violent thriller to reach us from South Korea, a cop turned pimp roams through the lower depths of Seoul in search of one of his prostitutes" - Edward Porter 75: Ghost Town "Ricky Gervais gets his first leading role in a Hollywood film, but the film’s premise is high-concept Hollywood at its creakiest" - Wendy Ide 74: Nights in Rodanthe "Shamelessly manipulative but too short and sketchy to provide a good wallow: has to make do with Diane Lane's sympathetic presence and Richard Gere's squinty emoting" - Tom Charity 73: Prom Night "Hoary horror devices are done to death: mirrors reveal the killer’s presence; terrified girls lose their clothes during chase scenes, then walk backwards into peril" - Wendy Ide 72: Vantage Point "Precisely halfway through a plot development of such absurdity causes the whole thing to go down with all hands." - Peter Whittle 71: 21 "Kevin Spacey blackjack movie that gets lost in confused moralising about the need for hard work and honesty while simultaneously celebrating the allure of Las Vegas and the quick, dishonest buck" - Kevin Maher 70: Diary of the Dead "The horror is toothily familiar. Amazingly, not one of the (living) characters has ever seen a zombie movie" - James Christopher 69: Pineapple Express "If you are 18 and always stoned out of your brain: seek help. Should you see this film, you will think it really funny, but then your brain is like scrambled egg. Come back Cheech and Chong, all is forgiven!" - Cosmo Landesman 68: Made of Honour "Call me old-fashioned if you will, but isn’t the point of a romantic comedy for the audience to fall in love a little bit – if not with the protagonists, then at least with the idea of their relationship?" - Wendy Ide 67: Brideshead Revisited "The melodrama is so damp and overwrought it’s hard to care about these old ghosts" - James Christopher 66: Forgetting Sarah Marshall "Russell Brand plays a louche rock star as to the manner born, but Judd Apatow's production is just forgettable" - Wendy Ide 65: Mirrors "A flat, ponderous and at times unintentionally funny horror. Yes, I know it’s meant to be some sort of comment on our narcissistic consumer society, but it’s not even scary" - Cosmo Landesman 64: Redbelt "David Mamet intends this to have the irony-free spirit of a Rocky film, but he comes close to the stuff of a frat-pack sports-movie parody" - Edward Porter 63: Get Smart "It’s probably inch perfect, but from this distance it looks like a rejected chapter from the Naked Gun franchise, and infinitely more wooden" - James Christopher 62: Death Defying Acts "There’s not a moment in the film that feels honest and uncontrived. Zeta-Jones looks more like a well-fed Persian cat than a starving music-hall artiste" - Wendy Ide 61: Freebird "A cast of D-list actors on a brief respite from the dole? Proof that there are few things more tedious than other people's drug experiences" - Wendy Ide 60: Steep "Combines awe-inspiring photography with some of the most inane drivel about life-changing experiences and profound bonds with Nature you’re ever likely to hear" - Wendy Ide 59: The House Bunny "Bimbo with heart of gold triumphs over snobbery and stereotypes - a standard teen-frat film, but from a female point of view. Frankly, this is one unfunny, vapid bunny I’d like to boil" - Cosmo Landesman 58: Priceless "Beneath its frothy and “comic” surface lies a cynical, smug and morally imbecilic film that thinks people who exchange sex for money and expensive clothes are rather cute and amusing" - Edward Porter 57: The Eye "The Sixth Sense twists are as remarkable as pasteurised cheese. The shrieking fright moments break every EU rule about decibel levels" - James Christopher 56: 27 Dresses "The latest romantic comedy which posits that a woman is somehow incomplete until she has a ring on her finger and a billowing meringue of a dress" - Wendy Ide 55: The Lost City "Andy Garcia’s preposterous vanity project is an all-singing, all-dancing version of the Cuban Revolution. But all is not well in Havana" - James Christopher 54: Back to Normandy "The interviews are mostly mundane affairs, there is the occasional whiff of the vanity project, and the running time, given the nature of the material, is inexcusable" - Peter Whittle 53: Flashbacks of a Fool "For a fool, the protagonist of Baillie Walsh’s film (played by Daniel Craig) is doing all right. A weirdly pointless film" - Edward Porter 52: Shutter "From the producers of The Grudge and The Ring comes The Camera – at least, that’s what this bland attempt at Asian horror should have been called" - Cosmo Landesman 51: Step Up 2 the Streets "If there is any mileage left in making films about troubled teenagers expressing themselves through hip-hop, there certainly isn't for doing it with the streams of clichés spouted in this sequel" - Louise Cohen 50: Dan In Real Life "I was trying to garrotte myself even before the characters started telling each other that “love isn’t a feeling, it’s an ability” - Edward Porter 49: Babylon AD "I have a soft spot for Vin Diesel, but it was sorely tested by this slapdash sci-fi effort, which, with its rather sudden ending, seems to have mislaid a whole section of its script" - Peter Whittle 48: Street Kings "LAPD’s finest, Keanu Reeves, blows holes through Korean paedophiles, bent cops, crazed pimps and drug dealers to clean out the corrupt law enforcers and bring order to America" - James Christopher 47: Body of Lies "Ridley Scott’s expensive adventure is a lump of indigestible paranoia. Leonardo DiCaprio is the most gifted CIA agent who has ever glued on a beard in Iraq" - James Christopher 46: Untraceable "The presence of Diane Lane usually guarantees some class, but not even her turn as an FBI agent can save this nasty, grimy-looking thriller" - Peter Whittle 45: Then She Found Me "After some laboured attempts at Nora Ephron-style comedy, the film bottoms out as a schmaltzy tale of one woman’s stoicism, with a jarring cameo from Salman Rushdie" - Edward Porter 44: Four Christmases "This crass comedy extinguishes any seasonal goodwill within minutes – it may be the least festive Christmas film yet made" - Tom Charity 43: Botched "British/German/Irish co-production set in Moscow, featuring a supporting cast of British and Irish character actors wrestling with Russian accents as thick as borscht" - Wendy Ide 42: The Air I Breath "Full of dumb symbols – meaningless shots of irrelevant objects that strain for significance in a movie completely devoid of the same" - Kevin Maher 41: Fools Gold "A ghastly romantic comedy about a race to find a 17th-century Spanish wreck full of treasure. Completely dead behind the eyes" - James Christopher 40: Superhero Movie "A “parody movie” that parodies Spider-Man, Batman and X-Men. By parody, of course, I mean copying the original movie and inserting lots of fart jokes" - Kevin Mahier 39: Max Payne "Mark Wahlberg trudges through this dull cod-noir fantasy with his standard bemused grimace — not quite a bulldog chewing a wasp, more a bulldog vexed by a wasp alighting on its nose" - Edward Porter 38: Incendiary "Another grief movie, but one that goes for the jugular with a blunt hatchet: plunges straight down that treacherous black hole that exists between fact and fiction and the inability to replicate either" - Kevin Maher 37: The Accidental Husband "The mutual attraction between Emma and Patrick is a preposterous piece of plotting: she's a highly-strung Manhattan princess; he's a soccer-playing, beer-swilling, blue-collar bloke" - Wendy Ide 36: Make It Happen "It could be a contemporary take on classic backstage musicals such as Easter Parade or Kiss Me Kate. Or it could be the end of the cinematic arts as we know them" - Kevin Maher 35: The Rocker "As rock-based comedies go, this has to be one of the worst in living memory. The music is uninspired pastiche and the comedy is infantile and unoriginal" - Cosmo Landesman 34: Teeth "The myth of the “vagina dentata” is interpreted all too literally in this amateurish comedy horror. A shoddy and distasteful piece of work that equates female sexuality with violent revenge" - Wendy Ide 33: Strange Wilderness "It plays like a series of outtakes from the floor of a cutting room reserved for feeble movies" - Edward Porter 32: Irina Palm "Casting Marianne Faithful as a dowdy housewife would perhaps always be a hard sell. This dreary tale is brightened only by some gloriously awful dialogue" - Edward Porter 31: One Two Three "British hunk Upen Patel is back, but ‘Bollywood Brad’ is reduced to an incredulous cameo in this infantile comedy which makes the Farrelly brothers look like Fellini" - Anil Sinanan 30: The Strangers "A couple are in their remote holiday home when there is a loud knock on the front door at 4am. “Stay here darling with the axe-wielding psychos while I go and get help." Ugh" - James Chrstopher 29: A Bloody Aria "If this ugly tale of power abuse and violence is intended as an allegory for modern Korean society, then this is one of the most unflattering depictions of a nation's psyche I have seen" - Wendy Ide 28: Choke "Victor pretends to choke on food so passing good samaritans will save him and, later, lavish money on him. If that doesn’t make sense, don’t worry: the rest of the film won’t either" - Cosmo Landesman 27: Outpost "This no-budget horror Britflick doesn’t boast a single symbol that isn’t derivative of another better, more coherent movie" - Kevin Maher 26: Cashback "Sean Biggerstaff stars as Ben, a rather dull young man who has the ability to stop time. He uses it to be even more boring for even longer" - Wendy Ide 25: Funny Games "There is only one thing worse than torture porn such as Hostel and Saw - art-house torture porn such as Haneke’s film" - Cosmo Landesman 24: Space Chimps "It’s remarkable that they managed to smuggle an oral sex joke into a U-rated movie – “Now that’s what I call suction!” says Ham as he returns from the space toilet. How we laughed" - Kevin Maher 23: The Women "Diane English’s hotly anticipated makeover of George Cukor’s 1939 classic is a costly and bemusing disaster. Dull is too kind a word. This deeply tedious update sucks every ounce of meaningful poison from the crisp and bitchy original" - James Christopher 22: Lady Godiva "The cast speak in nonsequiturs and clichés; the good guys drink sherry and the baddies sip Martinis. It’s such a horror show of dismal acting and dreadful writing that it’s almost worth watching" - Wendy Ide 21: To Get To Heaven, First You Have To Die "A piece of phallocentric arthouse pabulum masquerading as serious cinema. Tells of a gormless country boy tormented by impotence, who wanders around Tajikistan drooling over luckless women" - Kevin Maher 20: GamerZ "Woefully inept account of a Scottish university Dungeons and Dragons club. Perhaps a learning curve for all involved. It's not much else" - Kevin Maher 19: The Foot Fist Way "It’s hard to imagine a less sympathetic protagonist. He has David Brent levels of self-importance and would think nothing of kicking a six-year-old in the head if he wanted to make a point" - Wendy Ide 18: Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins "A “Capra-esque” comedy about a big-city talk-show host returning to his country hometown. By Capra-esque I mean jokes about doggie sex, crushed testicles and skunk spray" - Kevin Maher 17: The Bucket List "Rob Reiner has, unintentionally, created a cinematic first: a film about not one but two people with fatal diseases that is so awful, it makes you wish they’d both hurry up and die" - Cosmo Landesman 16: The Baker "The jokes are flat; a chaotic sex scene is anything but sexy. And the infuriating Latin-lite soundtrack would be better suited to an advert for carpet shampoo" - Wendy Ide 15: Death Race "Apparently, the only navigators with map-reading skills equal to the task are half-naked supermodels contractually obliged to synchronise their breasts and buttocks in bouncy slow-motion" - James Christopher 14: Swing Vote "A political satire with negligible politics and no satire to speak of, it’s like a party political broadcast brought to you by the Idiot Party" - Wendy Ide 13: Mutant Chronicles "The cast ranges from the good to the bad to the gloriously bonkers: John Malkovich, bless him and his rabid overacting. But a screenplay that sounds like it was hewn from chunks of wood is a great leveller, so everyone comes out looking equally inept" - Wendy Ide 12: Eagle Eye "I don’t have the willpower, words, or energy to explain why a psychopathic CIA computer suddenly decides to take over the world. But that’s the plot in a nutcase" - James Christopher 11: Rambo "To justify the quite horrendous level of violence, the film dehumanises the Burmese soldiers to the extent that barely a scene goes by without one of them raping or murdering" - Wendy Ide 10: Alien vs Predator: Requiem "A wrist-slittingly awful addition to the Alien and Predator franchises. Surely it can’t fall much farther. Legions of human extras are eaten or thrown around the set like cannon fodder. Mindless" - James Christopher 9: Righteous Kill "The teaming together of De Niro and Pacino for some serious screen time together certainly is an event — one you must miss. The best thing that can be said about this film is that you get to see two living legends fall on their faces for the price of one" - Cosmo Landesman 8: Love in the Time of Cholera "This adaptation of Gabriel GarcÍa Márquez’s novel is offensively boring. The entire cast speaks broken English like Manuel in Fawlty Towers" - James Christopher 7: Semi-Pro "Will Ferrell’s movie success is a mystery to many of us – with his dead little eyes and air of Saturday Night Live self-regard, he’s hard to like, let alone laugh at" - Peter Whittle 6: 88 Minutes "There are so many things wrong with this Al Pacino vehicle that it’s difficult to know where to start. The fact that it’s nearly 30 minutes longer than the title suggests is as pertinent a place as any" - Wendy Ide 5: Star Wars: The Clone Wars "The latest instalment of George Lucas’s interminable franchise has the charm of a cash machine. This noisy animated feature is set in a galaxy that isn’t far away enough" - James Christopher 4: First Sunday "The least funny man ever to make a career in comedy movies, Ice Cube hauls his sullen mug back in front of the cameras for this execrable movie. A new low, even for Ice Cube" - Wendy Ide 3: Never Back Down "Reveals a genuinely repugnant validation of street violence, a palpable hatred of women, and the worst aspects of crass barrel-scraping Hollywood studio movie-making. Then again, maybe you just had to be in the right mood. Or a Nazi" - Kevin Maher 2: Meet the Spartans "If Hollywood is really serious about saving the environment, perhaps it should stop polluting it with toxic waste. Barely a movie, more a barf of total idiocy, this spoof of 300 sets its intellectual sights lower than a swamp of primordial soup" - Wendy Ide 1: Disaster Movie "It could be the first great mainstream art experiment. Or, perhaps, since the opening word of dialogue is “poopy!”, the jokes are mostly about it, and the characters are regularly covered in it, it is more likely that the movie itself is just, well..." - Kevin Maher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDFFFreak Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) At 100 films, you are naming almost half of the films that were released this year... that's a bit harsh IMO. My thoughts on some of the films named (assuming I saw it): The Hulk was not great, but not bad either. I don't think it deserves to be on this list. Wanted was a lot of fun for me. Don't take it too seriously and I found it laughably enjoyable. 10,000 BC -- I can't believe how many people insist on defending this wretched film. Pineapple Express. Surprised this made the list (even on that is 100 movies long), but I thought this was a so-so attempt from the Apatow machine that gets things far more right than wrong. Forgetting Sarah Marshall. From the aformentioned Apatow machine. I can't believe this film is on the list. A great, perhaps underrated movie that has heart and laughs, but never tips too far in either direction. And I mean that as a good thing. Get Smart. I don't get why so many people liked this generally unfunny movie with the usually very funny Steve Carrell. Dan in Real Life. I guess it wasn't Carrell's year in movies. Another so-so effort, but at least this one had more redeeming qualities than Get Smart. Bod of Lies. One that I enjoyed. A bummer that more didn't get to see it IMO. Four Christmases. Good idea. A lot of talent attached. That's where the good pretty much ends. Not the worst piece of crap I've seen, but it felt slapped together and the main characters are pretty unlikable. Eagle Eye. Meh. It should have been MUCH better than it actually was.

McBoog Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 The Day The Earth Stood Still was the worst movie I have ever seen in a theater. A waste of time and money!

The Holy Roller Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I will stab my eyes with toothpicks dipped in hot sauce before ever seeing Fools Gold or any movie approximating that genre.

TimC Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Thank goodness for Netflix and I didn't pay to see any of these in a theatre... X-Files...please let it die already. Incredible Hulk...sucked hard. Ed Norton did not want to be there. I think he signed up, saw the bank of fake computers to make the fake Hulk and mailed it in. 10,000 BC...sucked harder. Made me wish the Earth really was only 6,000 years old. AvP Requiem...unwatchable. Director decided to film in pitch black for 90% of the film. It could've been Milton Berle killing someone and I wouldn't have known the difference. Speed Racer...watched this on a plane. I almost clawed my way to jump out the door at 30,000 feet. Didn't mind 21 so much. It certainly was no Rounders. Also, Get Smart had a few lines and scenes that were hilarious. Not enough to carry the movie, but it was like a Jim Carrey or Will Ferrell movie. Those couple of lines are high-larious. But what do I know? I though Ironman was better than Batman.

TimC Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 74: Nights in Rodanthe "Shamelessly manipulative but too short and sketchy to provide a good wallow: has to make do with Diane Lane's sympathetic presence and Richard Gere's squinty emoting" - Tom Charity Spoilers....I don't really care. If you watch this and would've enjoyed it except for the fact you read this crap, I pity you. We got this chick flick this weekend through Netflix. Holy crap, I was praying an alien would shoot out of Richard Gere's belly and chew Diane Lane's head right off. The perfect beach, the perfect beachhouse, the perfectly spoiled bratty kids, the perfect divorce, the perfect jerk ex-hubbie begging her to let him come back, the perfect little boobies of Diane Lane in the perfect little outfits meeting the perfect Richard Gere with his perfect Doctor job and perfect car, and the perfect anethsia accidentally killed the perfect Grandma through no fault of his own but he's got the perfect guilt, and they experience the perfect storm to give them the perfect kiss. Then he dies. Sucks to be you. I only wished it'd happened in the first 5 minutes and they wrapped this puppy up. Tina was the perfect slobbering mess by the end. I had to fake like it was perfectly understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 How in the world did Bank Job and Forgetting Sarah marshall make that list. Those are really good movies in my opinion, the rest probably should be there. I was surprised by those as well. I'd heard good things and have Bank Job coming to me in the mail from Blockbuster. I was saving Forgetting Sarah Marshall for a night when I have to when I have to watch a chick flick with the wife. I still plan on watching them though, this list seems a little to snarky to take seriously. 15: Death Race"Apparently, the only navigators with map-reading skills equal to the task are half-naked supermodels contractually obliged to synchronise their breasts and buttocks in bouncy slow-motion" - James Christopher Sounds like this movie knew what it was. I don't think anyone expected iambic pantameter from "Death Race". I might rent this on my next business trip (past the time on flights).

Square Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Wanted was a lot of fun for me. Don't take it too seriously and I found it laughably enjoyable. The thing that annoyed me about Wanted, was that it was so close to actually being a really good movie. The characters were decent, the action scenes were very good (better than I expected at least), and the actors all did well... The story just let them all down. I never read that comic so I have no idea how close it was to the original material but I really think they could have taken this movie and made it much better. Too bad really as I wanted to like this movie most of the way through it. The ending just got lame and it didn't finish as good of a story as it started.
