The 100 Worst Reviewed Movies of the Last 10 Years...

[hippie_chick]

according to Rotten Tomatoes.Com.

I was honest, went through the list and am going to come clean about those that I've subjected myself to. None at the theater, which I can say with much relief, but thanks to cable, in a fit of boredom. Or there was nothing else on and I was too lazy to go put on a DVD. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!

My Total: 10/100.




So yes I've done a pretty good job of avoiding most of the dreck. Now I know you want to know which of them I've seen, right? As I said, full disclosure, I admit to them.

* Glitter. God help me. I had to watch, just to see first hand. And it was as bad as I anticipated.

* Surviving Christmas. For Gandolfini, I swear. Okay, so yeah. Christmas Turkey.

* Deck The Halls. For Matt Broderick, for I adore him. But the Christmas lights fizzled fast.

* Envy. For Ben Stiller mostly. Jack Black is so hit or miss with me. This one should have been flushed right along with all the bad poop jokes.

* Gigli. For what I don't know. Boredom. Affleck and Lopez had absolutely zero sparks and chemistry. I just couldn't believe how honestly God awful it was.

* The Hottie and the Nottie. I know. I KNOW. Why you ask me? WHY? Friend. Netflix. *shrug* It made for some good LOLZ though and it's best to watch when drunk on wine like we were. Paris Hilton really cannot act can she? Um... so this one? SO a "nottie".

* Swept Away. Okay I love me some Madonna damn it. I'm sorry, but I do. However this? Madge, stick to the music because this acting gig is just not for you.
Shipwreck? You betcha!

* Fear.Com. I will admit the concept sounded cool. And I'm always up for checking out the latest horror film. But this was just really lackluster.

* Bless The Child. Another one that looked cool then turned out to be disappointing. Brought some LOLZ that I'm not sure were intentional.

* One Missed Call. As I said I'm always up for checking out the latest horror flick. But this one? Laughably bad. More proof that America should not try to "do" Japanese horror. A cell phone with no charge.

I've seen the last three and own a copy of Fear.Com but then, I love horror. Even the bad ones. But I don't think it was one of the worst movies in the last 10 years. Not thrilling in any way but not one of the worst.

Bless the Child was just meh and the American version of One Missed Call was terrible compared to the Japanese version.

Yeah, as I said the concept of Fear.Com I thought was cool. But I don't know it disappointed me. And I too love me some horror. Yes, even the bad. :)

I agree the Japanese version of "One Missed Call" was SO SO much better. Same with "The Grudge"... "Ju-On" excelled over it. The only one I think we did semi decently was The Ring and even then the Japanese was superior.

It definitely could have been done better with such an interesting concept. But I liked Stephen Rea and had high hopes for his character.

Asian horror films are incredible! They scare more with imagination rather than always resorting to blood and gore. That little boy in Ju-On freaks me out every time, even when I know what is going to happen. He opens his mouth and I shiver.

Well! We actually only overlapped on ONE! "Bless The Child" was really terrible.

The Japanese original of "One Missed Call" was on Channel Four while I was in Edinburgh, the night before I came home, and I watched it (having not seen the American version, thankfully)...and it was some REALLY scary shit. See it if you can!
