What's a bad movie you watched recently?

[RiffRandell]

I caught "Purple Violets" this past week on one of the movie channels. Total lameage. Ed Burns needs to realize his NYC relationship movies suck. The only thing the movie had going for it was Patrick Wilson---he's so hot.

1. Damn dude !

I rarely watch movies anymore !

Bad movies...Argh !!! Too many...crappy...movies....brain...exploding...:nuke:

[BlueJazz]

2. I think mine was some Sci-Fi Crap like "Matomba..Giant Shrimp of the Sea"

[hibbing]

3. Sci-Fi the home of horrid

Hi,
I watched Bottom Feeder on Sci-Fi this weekend. The movies they produce are all garbage. I wish they would show some of the cheesy older ones from the 50s and 60s.

Oh, and Road House of course, but that is a good bad movie.

Peace

[BlueJazz]

8. I wish the Sci-Fi Channel would (at least) get the rights to the ...

"Hitchcock Hour" ...While not Sci-Fi..they were fun to watch. :)

[Ptah]

12. I have three seasons of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

I found them an Amazon.

You're right his TV stuff is great fun.

:thumbsup:

4. Last night I started watching The Way West

and stopped as soon as a cheesy chorus started singing the theme song 15 minutes into the film. Maybe it would have gotten better, but I doubt it.

Life is too short to waste it on bad movies.

PS: (1967, with Kirk Douglas, Richard Widmark, Robert Mitchum and introducing Sally Field)

5. The Watchmen!

[wickerwoman]

13. Amen. That was dreck.

I spent the whole movie thinking "Mothman seemed a lot more interesting than any of these guys, when's he coming back?"

And it had the most cliched soundtrack of any movie I have ever watched. I made a mental list ten minutes in of the five or six songs I was sure they were going to play (because they've been played in every single movie set during the Vietnam War ever) and they played all of them.

[stewartcolbert08]

14. LOL

I know right?! I will never get that three hours of my life back again and what exaclty was the girls super hero talent? Last time I checked being pretty and being able to pull off a terrible outfit was not a super hero power!

[Blue_Tires]

32. the dialogue, which i expected to be the strong point, was also laughable...

[rcrush]

6. No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker

Its about this dead guy that stinks really bad and whenever you see him coming or he's about to kill someone you see "stink lines" appear and the people in the movie say "Oh man that reeks!" And they get killed with a flame thrower.

7. Australia

love the country, but that film was a big mess.

[XemaSab]

23. +1

I spent the last 2/3 wondering when it was going to be over. x(

[bikebloke]

29. Kidman ruined it.

She was embarrassing to watch. Cate Blanchet would have been better. Or any of the McLeod's Daughters alumni - Bridie Carter, for starters.

[Richardo]

30. That movie could have had Meryl Streep, Heath Ledger and Sir Lawrence Olivier and it would've blown

It was horrible, and the acting was only a small part of that.

[Rosie1223]

38. Even a shirtless Hugh Jackman couldn't save that movie

[frogmarch]

9. Candles on Bay Street

It was on one of the Lifetime channels last night. I don't know why I watched it. I think I was too lazy to find the remote and switch channels. The movie was one of the sappiest ones I've ever seen.

[dysfunctional press]

10. "the adventures of robin hood" with errol flynn and olivia dehavilland.

they don't make'em like they used to- thank god.

[NV Whino]

11. Doubt

It's really hard to believe that they could take a good idea, add excellent actors, get 4 Academy Award nominations and still turn up with a bad movie.

The script (although the story itself was good) didn't make the transition from stage to screen. The direction and editing were gawd awful. I was embarrassed to watch it and I think the actors were embarrassed to be in it. Probably the most interesting part was the extras on the DVD, watching the actors in interview bobbing and weaving, trying to say something good about the movie without saying anything at all. I have to say, Streep is a master at this.

[BlueIris]

28. Wow. I love "Doubt." I have issues with the end, (mild spoilers in post)

because even Meryl couldn't make me believe her character's tears, but other than that small flaw, I think it's great.

[rrneck]

15. Ghost Rider

What the hell has happened to Nicolas Cage?

[Kool Kitty]

17. Oh my God. That one is so bad, I think it

violates the Geneva Convention.

[dalaigh lllama]

16. The Last Templar -- movie's lesson is truthiness trumps truth

watched it this weekend and was so disgusted with the ending I cursed roundly for several minutes. Plot had to be devised by a Catholic freeper.

[MilesColtrane]

18. "Get Smart"

I knew what I was getting into, but I've got this thing for Ann Hathaway so....

[DarkTirade]

19. I wrote a review and posted it here. Alien vs. Predator 2.

Oddly enough, I finally got around to playing the AvP FPS games they made a few years back... and the Alien vs. Predator 2 for PC was a rather awesome game. :P

[BlueIris]

20. "Uptown Girls." Which may be bad, but

well, I, um, er...kind of liked it. It was like "Little Man Tate" for the Paris Hilton era.

[AllenVanAllen]

21. ID4

Independence Day, was on cable this evening. Fun, but terrible film!

[Tom Kitten]

22. Hell Comes To Frogtown

starring Rowdy Roddy Piper, Sandahl Bergman(who was the villian in "Conan the Barbarian"), and Rory Calhoun...set in a post nuclear apocalypse world, Roddy is the world's most fertile man and is given the task of going to Frogtown and rescuing fertile young women who have been kidnapped by mutant frog-people.Filmed with a budget of about sixteen dollars. Definitely not a so-bad-it's good movie, but it does have a moment or two.

[Zavulon]

24. The third Transporter movie.

Beyond bad, beyond stupid. Avoid at all costs, even if you liked the first two.

[6000eliot]

25. Fido. I heard about it here!

About a boy and his pet zombie.

[hedgehog]

37. Fido isn't bad, but it may not be what you expect it to be.

Laugh out loud comedy, it's not!

[Auggie]

26. Bedtime Stories

[Richardo]

27. "Knowing"

x(

[reflection]

42. One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

It was jaw-droppingly bad. I was at the drive thru and almost turned my high beams on the screen just to save everyone else from having to watch it. :puke:

[bikebloke]

31. Twilight

It couldn't hold a candle to Let the Right One In, which I'd seen a week or two before. Twilight then rewrote the vampire mythos by having vampires sparkle in sunlight rather than burn up. Dumb idea.

[MadBadger]

33. I watched Rudy recently

Yes and Rudy is cheesy and shitty.

[eauclaireliberal]

34. No Country for Old Men

Really, WTF was THAT about? Or what was it supposed to be about? Tommy Lee's decision to take part of that was disappointing to say the least.

[jobycom]

35. that was a brilliant film, but it wasn't for everyone.

:shrug: If you were looking for something else, it would be hard to engage in. Like most Coen brother films, only more obscure. It was about knowability, and the nature of evil, and about chance versus fate. The directors made parts of it deliberately obscure so the audience would focus on the themes and not on the normal emotional climaxes and movie devices.

For instance, not showing the murder at the hotel made the audience focus more on the sheriff's response to it, thus on the sheriff's perspective in subsequent scenes, whereas a poweful murder and shootout would have focused the audience on the death and on the bad guys, and the sheriff's confusion over what had happened wouldn't have been as pronounced. That unknowability has been a theme of the Coens since their first film, "Blood Simple." Often, no single character really understands what is happening, so that the audience sees the confusion of each character. That was paramount for the dream conclusion in "No Country."

Exceptional film-making, but not a normal film, if you weren't in the mood for it.

My opinions, anyway.

[Initech]

40. Yeah NCFOM requires multiple viewings to really appreciate.

If you cant get past the first viewing, it's not for you.

[AllenVanAllen]

43. Yes, it was a brilliant film and Anton Chigurh

is one of the creepiest characters since Hannibal Lecter.

[jobycom]

36. "In the Electric Mist." At least, "bad" in terms of my expectations.

If I hadn't had such high expectations, I might have thought of it as a nice little indie film with atmospheric charm. As it was, I saw it as a disjointed, underdirected mess with an incoherent script, an unlikely series of events, and an underutilized cast.

They had freaking Buddy Guy in the film, and he sang part of one song!! The character was supposed to be a local blues musician, so they got a genuine legendary blues master who can't act worth a damn, and made him act and gave him almost no chance to sing.

It had its moments, but overall was weak.

[Initech]

39. Let's Go To Prison

It had potential... but I turned it off half way through. Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant need to stick to what they do best: Reno 911.

[LynneSin]

41. "Fool's Gold" with Matthew McCoughnehey and Kate Hudson. The only Fools with that movie..

are those of us dumb enough to watch it.

I still can't figure out the plot and how some of the characters fit into this movie and it's not like some highbrow flick but just the concept that the movie was bad, the plot was weak and it was nothing more than an excuse to show Kate and Matt in skimpy clothing.
