Oh wow I didn't remember The Da Vinci Code getting quite so panned. I mean, sure, it was terrible, but I figured the prestige attached to it would keep it above 25%

Glad i'm not the only one who likes "Ballistic" I enjoyed Battlefield Earth in a so-bad-it's-good way, Travolta's scenery chewing performance was hilariously awesome on so many levels. Surviving Christmas was decent as well, it's one of Stiller's more underrated films, though I kinda liked Kranks too, even though I agree that the message was very hypocritical and misguided. HATED White Noise though, stupid stupid movie.

I'm sure there's more i'm missing, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head for now

Oh wow I didn't remember The Da Vinci Code getting quite so panned. I mean, sure, it was terrible, but I figured the prestige attached to it would keep it above 25%

The prestige attached no doubt added to the anti-climax.

And you're right, it truly is a terrible film.

Da Vinci Code would've been better if it wasn't so frigging long, Never Back Down was OK, but I liked the DTV sequel better.

Hang on....a sequel?????

The Boondock Saints (17%) (9/10) - A classic critic/viewer departure.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (17%) (7/10) - Very underrated superhero film.

Lets see...

- Film (RT) (My Score) -

Bad Boys II (23%) (8.5) - Love this movie; quite possibly the most brainless action diversion ever.
The Ugly Truth (13%) (6.5/10) - I appreciated the R-rating.
The Ex (19%) (7/10) - Messy, but I laughed a lot.
The Boondock Saints (17%) (9/10) - A classic critic/viewer departure.
The Tooth Fairy (18%) (6.5/10) - Love The Rock, and again, it made me laugh.
Saw IV (17%) (8/10) - As a Saw fan, this is the best of the bunch.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (17%) (7/10) - Very underrated superhero film.
The Life of David Gale (19%) (8/10) - Some find it manipulative, I found it more potent.
Wild Wild West (21%) (7/10) - A youth, cable TV favourite.
Assassins (16%) (7.5/10) - A snappy, underrated action flick I enjoyed as a teenager.

Wow, I didn't realize Boondock Saints was that poorly reviewed. I like it too, even if I don't think it's quite as great as everyone else who lived in my dorm thought it was.

Sucker Punch has a 23% rating but I thought it was more mediocre/ambitious failure (2.5 stars) with some interesting elements but horribly structured, as opposed to all the people who listed it as one of the worse films of the year.

Edit: that is according to Rotten Tomatoes.

I also don't understand why so many people disliked Wild Wild West. Good movie, more creative and humerous than the Aliens and Cowboys, and I thought Aliens and Cowboys was a decent 3 star film.

Did you miss the scene in which Will Smith explains, at length, how his paddling of a woman's breasts related to African tribal custom?

Who could forget!




P.S. I wonder how much they paid Kenneth Branagh. He was kinda great regardless.

I remember seeing The Happening (RT 18%), and thought it was absolutely, amazingly, hilariously incompetent. Every scene I just couldn't believe the stupidity of what I was seeing on screen. By the time Marky Mark started talking to the plastic tree I just lost it, and was howling with laughter for the rest of the film. Probably one of the most unexpectedly entertaining times I've had at the cinema. Terrible, terrible movie, but I found a certain charm in how unintentionally nuts the whole thing was. I kinda dug it in a way.

Lets see...

- Film (RT) (My Score) -

Bad Boys II (23%) (8.5) - Love this movie; quite possibly the most brainless action diversion ever.
The Ugly Truth (13%) (6.5/10) - I appreciated the R-rating.

I head that Will Smith turned down the part of Neo in the Matrix to do Wild Wild West.

Any regrets, Will?
