This isn't a review on 'The Core', but a commentary thread about bad movies! List them here!!

So, 2 hours of my life wasted watching ...'The Core'

I can't believe I sat through all of "The Core" with Hillary Swank. I mean, I watched it, I knew it would be crap before I watched it and it was crap while I watched it, but I couldn't stop myself from seeing it through till the end.

I mean, who the hell tries to do a movie about saving the world by venturing into the core of this planet?????!

But I still felt compelled to see it through to cheesy completion.

Anyone else seen any movies that are just so incredibly bad, but yet you can't help but watch to the very end?

Andy

Many times, is it odd if you come out liking it eventhough it's terrible?

Crow: Wicked Prayer is terrible but I can't help but love it.
Comic Book: The Movie is even worse and yet I found myself enjoying it.


Head of State with Chris Rock is one of the worst films ever made, I've watched it 3 times and I can now say it's bad.

I've watched the 20 official Bond films and Never Say Never Again. Some are 2 hours I'll never get back, but I've watched tham all more than once. It's a wonder I can write anything...

Van Helsing... It's car-crash cinema at its very finest... An awful, awful movie... It's almost worth watching though for the scene when (and I kid you not) this big-budget movie made by adults has a shot of characters appearing in the clouds...

Stephen Sommers made 'Deep Rising' at one point, I weep to think what has happened to him now!

...The royal tenenbaums.

I'm sorry I bought this dvd. Not my cup of tea at all or the type of comedy I thought it would be.

Totally bored me and I only made myself watch it cos I paid for it!!! The line up looked promosing but it didn't deliver for me.

Yeah, I know. I did the same the with "Bruce Almighty" and was dumb enough to pay money to see "The Forgotten".

I loved 'Rushmore' by Wes Anderson, but I'll admit The Royal Tenembaums didn't really do anything for me...

Dark Water.

You knew nothing would happen but you had to stay for the fact something MAY happen. (which never did)

Heaven and Earth...it was so good I can't even remember the cast. The girl acted weird through the whole film. The majority of her actions made no sense at all. What was their big "twist"? Gasp! She has cancer and dies! No setup. No warning. No indication through the entire movie that it was coming. She just collapsed during the third act and died. Granted, she wasn't the main character, she was the love interest, and it was stupid!

Newest Star Wars. It wasn't just a bad movie, it was an insult. Oh sure, the action sequences were visual enough, but the plot writing was so horrible that I didn't think it was possible to write that badly and get away with it. Lucas had a good story and he ruined it. The development of Anakin never reached me and it just seemed that things were happening at random and suddenly he's in this black suit with James Earl Something's voice.

It insulted me as a writer. The reason I stayed trough the end was that I wasn't alone and I would've had to wait for more than an hour for the others to come out.


The act of writing is a quest to put a hundred thousand words to a cunning order.

Battlefield Earth - Good Lord, whatever was John Travolta thinking here? Not only did the script suck, but the acting was just embarrassing.

Teenwolf Too - I cannot believe they screwed this up so bad. I watched it at the cinema when it came out and it sucked then and it still sucks now. I have it on DVD because it came free with Teenwolf the original.

Vanilla Sky- SOOOOO disappointing and confusing to the extreme. I didn't like this one bit.

Urban Legends: Final Cut- The worst horror/slasher of all time. I hate this frickin film.

Death to Smoochy (-Such a pathetic film. Robin Williams at his worst.

Halloween Resurrection: Michael Myers can die only so many times.  The acting sucked, the writing sucked, the cinematography sucked, the plot sucked, the gore sucked, the visuals sucked, the actors sucked, the beginning sucked, the ending sucked, the actor selection sucked.  The only good thing was when the girl took her top off for 3 seconds.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(remake): Wow, I laughed all the way during this film!  I can't believe this crud scared some people!  This was a comedy!  I first read about this film months before its release and I was excited.  Then I saw trailers, read reviews and got less excited.  Then I bought this film used on DVD hoping that I would get some good gore.  Nothing.  Nothing at all worth mentioning in this film unless you want to laugh at some incredibly stupid people trying to be serious.  It seems anything associated with Michael Bay sucks.


Be excellent to each other

House 3 - This has some of the cheesiest lines ever and the acting is just God-awful! Seriously, I can't even watch it to the end. I might even throw it away, even though it was a gift from a friend. Sheesh. I could always use it as a coaster for my coffee... what a pile of crap, do not waste your time watching this joke of a film!
