My fiancé and I watched this Christmas film on Netflix in Dec of last year. I can't really remember the title. Wanna say it was Crazy for Christmas? Anyway, she likes romance movies around Christmas and Vday and that's cool. I watch them with her because I'm a sap. This thing, however, was painful! It was a lifetime presentation but we didn't find that out until it started going waaay off in left field around the middle of the film. She doesn't do Lifetime movies. She likes ABC Family or Halmark romantic flicks, so she could tell that something was amiss. Kept telling her to turn it off. She kept saying,"It might get better though. The crazy guy giving away a bunch of money doesn't seem that bad." Oh but she was wrong. haha!

Netflix seems to be the place for those horrible movies you tend to find in that $4 Walmart DVD bin. Ok some are great. But we've come across some stinkers. There was another film we watched over the holidays. Something to do with a businesswoman who threw out all these buzzwords. We can't quite remember the title. Watched it for around 10 to 15 minutes but then she decided to turn it off. Had something to do with this big plastic snowman hitting this guy's car, then leading lady falls for him after the love at first sight kinda thing going on there. Don't get me wrong, my girl is a sucker for stuff like that but this one nearly had her running from the TV in terror. Utter terror! Yep, big heaping helpings of that good old sticks to your ribs terror that makes Plan 9 from Outer Space seem like a summer blockbuster in comparison. Ok, never mind. Plan 9 should never be used in the same sentence with summer blockbuster again. Well aside from that last sentence. You get the idea. At least we thought it was that bad. Seriously folks, stick to the holiday classics you're used to. Some things are simply too horrible to endure!

I liked Plan 9 From Outer Space & Troll 2. I know the latter is a terrible movies that's probably why I like it its so bad. Maybe all the ex boyfriends showed me enough bad films I started liking a few of them.

Another bad film: Final Cut, had Robin Williams in it who I really like his work but there is this slew of unheard of films he's in like that one that are just ugh the plots are terrible. Acting is fine just its painful to watch. Or the movie Public Enemies, I spent the whole movie going what is going on.

They made a Troll II? I liked the first one allot. Am I thinking of the right film series? With the little girl in the first one taken over by the troll entity and who has an older brother attempting to save her? I saw this back in 2000, the first one at least so it's been a while. I'll certainly have to check out the 2nd one. I wanna say those movies were made in the 80's, weren't they? At least I remember the first one sounding... older if that makes sense. Oh man, just looking up info on it. Laughing because the main protagonist is named Harry Potter JR! And this thing was of course made back in the 80's. Wonder if JK was a Troll fan and paying homage?

^^ It has nothing to do with the first one. And if you aren't into terribly cheesy horror and terrible costumes and bad acting then don't watch it. If you are have at it.

Really???? that must have been the only movie you have in theaters
Seriously though Dark Knight Rises is actually my favorite of the trilogy.

The worst super-hero movie Ive seen in theaters was probably Spider-man 3.
Worse Comedy probably Meet the Spartans.

Ballistic: Ecks VS. Sever - Easily the worst action movie I've ever seen. The story was non-existent, the action sequences were illogical and monotonous. And in the rare moments when it wasn't boring, it was unintentionally funny. Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu looked like they were foaming it in, which is sad because they're capable of doing better.

Well, I am into riffing such movies, so I guess that's gotta count for something. I dunno though. Sounds painful!

Yes, I agree with Redeemer on how Spider-Man III turned out. Venom getting blown up in like 10 minutes etc. The Stryker, still haven't seen Dark Knight Rises and I own the thing! It's still in its packaging but just haven't gotten around to it. I've owned for about a year. It's not that I'm afraid of it or anything. Well I'm sort of afraid of listening to Bale's 80 year-old smoker version of Batman but that's about it. I liked the first two quite allot so guess it's about time to break this bad boy out.

You wanna know the worst superhero movie I saw in theaters, folks? Batman and Robin! Yes, I saw it back in the day. It was the premier weekend and everything. How was I supposed to know it'd suck? My brother and I almost got kicked out of the theater because this snooty usher didn't realize he was describing the movie to me, so little bro had to basically leave me to my own imaginings for the 2 or so hrs we were in there. That really didn't make much sense to me due to the fact that there were people much louder than us hanging around that day. I hope snooty usher guy finds himself in some sort of infinite twilight zoneish loop where he has to watch that film for at least a thousand times. What? Serves him right. Anywho, I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self to make as much noise as possible! That way, my teenage years wouldn't have been so scarred. No, not scarred by snooty usher guy. The film was what I was referring to, but then most of you already knew that. I mean, I'm not going to begin to describe the things wrong with that movie. It's all been said before. Seriously, if you haven't seen this thing yet, don't or you'll go blind. Well either that or you'll be traumatized for at least a year or so. You'll be reduced to stumbling around saying,"Stop it, Arnold. No more ice puns. Stop it,"and,"Oh God, the front of the batsuit is horrible," over and over again. Yes, it's that bad. At least that's what I learned from my little bro. I wasn't effected because like Hudson had discovered in that City of Stone 4 parter from Gargoyles, you have to both see and hear bs like that to be effected. Well in his case it was Demona's spell, but the principle remains the same.

I'm a huge fan if MST3K and Rifftrax, I have Manos: The Hands of Fate to thank for that. If you've heard of this movie, you should know why so many peoole consider it to be one of the worst ever made. Terrible dialogue, horrible acting, awful cinematography, the works.

Oh yeah, I can't stand Manos unless the crew of the SOL are there to help me get through it. Speaking of MST3K, Prince of Space is probably my all time favorite movie/episode. But they've had to sit through some real nightmares lately over at rifftrax. I've recently purchased a few of the vod riffs like Swamp of The Ravens and Silent Rage. Brave souls, all three of them, to have endured those movies. The Star Wars Holiday Special isn't considered a movie but I gave that one a go as well. I consider myself a pretty big SW fan but like Manos, I just couldn't bare SHS without Mike and co! The part where Chewie's father plays with his Lifeday present is a prime example. Yikes!

I love the first Silent Hill. It felt really close to the games, right down to the whole "explore abandoned building, map is on the wall, find key, open locked door, all hell breaks loose" structure of it. Sucks they ran out of money before they could film the planned ending. I like the second one, too, but it was too much of an action-thriller for me, and I really felt the love subplot was tacked-on and unnecessary. Neither was anywhere near the worst movie I've seen.

"Meet The Feebles", maybe. I mean, it's enjoyable, but I've had friends refuse to ever watch movies with me again after seeing it. Definitely not for everyone.

No, wait, Jaws 4. I'm not even sure it's possible to make a movie worse than that. From plot to acting to the "WTF-That-Makes-No-Sense" cluster-f*ck ending to the visible pulleys and wires dragging that goddamn fake shark around, literally nothing worked on any level at all. Just a disaster. Add in that it's a sequel to one of the greatest films ever made, and it's just a sin.

Yeah the first Silent Hill was alright. Got to see that one in the theaters. Fell asleep during Jaws 4 when it was on TV though!

I disagree with Silent Hill, the messy story, character changes and the unnecessary use of Pyramid Head made it just awful to watch.

I didn't mind the character changes because it wasn't a re-telling of any of the games, it was only loosely based on the tone, visuals, and a little of the backstory.

Conversely, the sequel felt a bit too much like "cram in a game reference" and it hurt the movie. All I asked of the first was that it *felt* like Silent Hill. All the standard settings were there - the school, the hospital - and I thought the monsters looked great in live action. The Nurses, especially.

Granted, my wife and I are really into Silent Hill, in general. Games, movies, we really like Silent Hill. Like, more than just friends.

This was fun: when Hurricane Sandy hit, everyone in our area was without power for almost two weeks. We had a generator, so we took the opportunity to watch both Silent Hills really late one night (right after I had finished SH: Homecoming). Just outside our window there was blackness everywhere as far as the eye could see, creepy fog/mist all around, abandoned streets... it was like you were THERE! Really made the movies even more enjoyable.

Felt like much more work went into the first film. I really wish they kept the same director.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation - One of the most infamous horror movies ever made, and for good measure. The Acting it terrible, the writing is beyond lazy, and the movie makes no damn sense. After seeing it, I named it as the worst horror I've ever seen. Until I saw......

......Texas Chainsaw 3D - Same bad acting, same bad writing, same bad EVERYTHING from the other Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequels except this time it's in crappily converted 3D.

So does Leatherface bust out the ol,"Is it safe?" If he does so in either film, I guess that's saying something. If the main antagonist feels that insecure and starts breaking the 4th wall like that, I'm not watching those at all!

I actually liked X-2. I was glad to see Nightcrawler, and felt he was one of the best things in that movie, along with Jason's (Mastermind) creepy illusion girl and the strained alliance between the X-Men and Magneto's group. Jen's developing Phoenix powers had a lot of potential there, that ended up being wasted in the third movie. My only real gripe about the first two X-Men, though, is that Rogue seemed to be taking Jubilee's place with Logan. I'd have liked it if she was a bit older and had her trademark Southern accent, and Gambit had been introduced earlier than Wolverine: Origins, if only because they've ALWAYS been a couple.

Speaking of which- I actually liked that movie- up until they turned Ryan into Deadpool at the end. I didn't understand the point of giving him Cyc's eye-beams at all. It would have been a decent movie, but they dropped the ball there with him. Here's to hoping the proposed DP movie is better. (If it ever gets off the ground, that is!)

Isn't Deadpool sorta kinda known as the merc with the mouth? So I have no idea what they were thinking when they deprived him of it. I suppose if we did get a sequel, he'd grow it back? I'm assuming he had it back at the end of Origins because I heard him going... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aDtC6gsRpg I couldn't find the clip so had to use that instead.

Totally agree about Phoenix in the 3rd movie, Ducky. "Oo, let's put our unique spin on things by giving her some wacky alternate personality!" Still need to see The Wolverine. Kinda sort of getting my hopes up concerning the next two X-men films. Future Past and Apocalypse should be alright. I'm wondering if they're going to wipe X-3 out of existence with this next one's timeline.
