    Anyone watched any really BAD movies recently??

    In response to the 'good movies' thread, feel free to add any howlers you wish to this list. :lol:

    I have just watched Maximum Overdrive again, a feature length film based on a Steven King short story 'Trucks' about a meteor passing earth and all the worlds vehicles coming to life. I loved this movie as a kid and was looking forward to seeing it again.

    It.
    Was.
    Awful.

    :lol:


    In a similar vein, my brother put me on to a film called Hybrid. He sold it to me as being 'a bit like Christine' - a killer car etc etc.
    While some of the acting was ok, it was one of the worst ideas for a movie I've ever seen made reality. :lol:
    Buy it next time you're around the supermarket bargain-bin. :wink:

    Project X

    it may have been funny when I was a teenager but now I've got kids of my own, watching a load of drugged / drunk adolescents wrecking their parents house just isn't my thing!

    Prometheus was pretty poor. Also saw Thor recently, didn't think a lot of that. Wooden actors. Only saving grace was Anthony Hopkins.

    Haywire. Dog-toffee. Steven Soderburg directs Michael Douglas, Ewan MacGregor, Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton and Michael Fassbender in an utterly snooze inducing pseudo 1970s assassin caper. Amazingly it seems yo receive nothing but praise from critics.

    Horrible Bosses - pants...although you do get to see Jennifer Aniston in her undies
    Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - pants


    It's the curse of night shifts--i have to occupy myself somehow and it's usually watching crap films

    No, because I know 99% most of the time if there's a good chance I won't like it...so I don't bother. :)

    Ok, duly noted and removed from the list.
    Still gets 4.9/10 on the IMDb site so it can't be a total howler.

    Worth a look for the AC/DC soundtrack alone. :lol:

    Red Tails, i couldn't believe they could stick so many cliches in one movie, but George Lucas has proven me wrong yet again, i couldn't even watch it all the way as it was so bad.

    I sort of enjoyed that apart from the slow as hell first half hour and the last ten/fifteen minutes. Felt like a bit of a cop-out that ending.
    Good production given the budget though I thought.

    Oh jesus, do they even count as movies??
    A step down from soap acting, and the scripts appear to be written by primary school children. :lol:

    Caught a few minutes of transmorphers a few weeks ago - which was an atrocious rip-off of it's more famous cousin. :?

    Monsters
    Jack Brooks monster slayer
    Death at a funeral
    Murder set pieces
    Tree of life
    The wrestler
    Battle los Angeles

    to name but a few!

    Couldn't agree more. Complete and utter tosh. Soderberg sucks here.

    Bet it wasn't as good as Sharktopus (?). Eric Roberts' finest film. Or was it called Octoshark? Oh well, I'm sure you get the gist.

    The Grey starring Liam Neeson. A bunch of not particularly likable blokes get chased by dogs - tedious.

    Cant remember exactly what it was called but stumbled across one the other day called something like:
    "meglagigantic shark vs rediculouslyoversized croc".....or something like that. Think I watched it for about 60 seconds before switching over in disbelief!!

    Re: Anyone watched any really BAD movies recently??

    Watched Vantage Point (Dennis Quaid / Matthew Fox / Forest Whitaker) the other night with the missus, what a shocker!!!

    1hr 26mins too long!!!

    IMDB rating of 6.6, I rate .6!

    The American.
    Boring drivel. Beautifully filmed, but soporific and with a quite meaningless plot, if indeed that's what you could call it. Again, loved by the critics.
    However, for all its awfulness, it has Violante Placido in it, in some transparent smalls, and parading about in a way that I found perfectly enjoyable to watch... and is recommended for this reason alone.

    The Tourist: Another 'faxed in from the adoption agency' Jolie performance - a bit of pouting and some arching of the eyebrows. Predictable and silly, the only highlight being Johnny Depp almost reprising his Captain Jack character as he runs across the rooftops barefoot in one scene.

    Eat Pray Love: pain-in-the-ass, hard to please married woman leaves her husband and sets off around the world to 'find herself'. Even my wife was begging me to switch it off after 20 mins and she loves Julia Roberts films. Should have been called 'Stop Eject Dispose'.

    We have young kids so can't get to the cinema that often. We have a playlist set up with LoveFilm, but they arrive in a random order. We both add films to the list so inevitably I end up having to sit through (or feign illness) romcoms and chickflicks

    The wife watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer the other day on Film 4.
    I thought it would be pretty bad, but it did exceed even my worst expectations!!

    Still struggling to get my head around the fact that there is a film called Sharktopus... :shock:
    How could anyone NOT expect that to be shite with a title like that?! :?
