- DirectorRon HowardStarsVal KilmerJoanne WhalleyWarwick DavisA young farmer is chosen to undertake a perilous journey in order to protect a special baby from an evil queen.Great fun, yet Gene Siskel called it the worst movie of 1988! Critics expected more from Ron Howard and George Lucas, I guess they wanted the usual boring movies that critics love.
- DirectorTodd PhillipsStarsBradley CooperZach GalifianakisEd HelmsTwo years after the bachelor party in Las Vegas, Phil, Stu, Alan, and Doug jet to Thailand for Stu's wedding. Stu's plan for a subdued pre-wedding brunch, however, goes seriously awry.Feels more like a remake of the first one than a sequel. But not the worst of 2011 when there's movies like Red Riding Hood!
- DirectorRon HowardStarsTom HanksAudrey TautouJean RenoA murder inside the Louvre, and clues in Da Vinci paintings, lead to the discovery of a religious mystery protected by a secret society for two thousand years, which could shake the foundations of Christianity.Sorry but I still haven't seen the bad movie that it was called.
- DirectorChris WeitzStarsNicole KidmanDaniel CraigDakota Blue RichardsIn a parallel universe, young Lyra Belacqua journeys to the far North to save her best friend and other kidnapped children from terrible experiments by a mysterious organization.Sequels were stopped just due to our souls being animals that walk and talk ???? But not many people liked this movie anyway, but hey I couldn't wait for more.
- DirectorRob MarshallStarsJohnny DeppPenélope CruzIan McShaneJack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.Bad movie, how? Was less hard to follow or too long like the last 2.
- DirectorRichard DonnerStarsBill MurrayKaren AllenJohn ForsytheA selfish, cynical television executive is haunted by three spirits bearing lessons on Christmas Eve.Now it gets some respect but at the time of it's release, it was very hated.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsEmile HirschMatthew FoxChristina RicciYoung driver, Speed Racer, aspires to be champion of the racing world with the help of his family and his high-tech Mach 5 automobile.Is better than they say.
- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerCarl WeathersKevin Peter HallA team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.Gene Siskel just shrugged it off as Rambo with an alien, but this movie was awesome. Much better than any Rambo!
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsMichael J. FoxChristopher LloydLea ThompsonAfter visiting 2015, Marty McFly must repeat his visit to 1955 to prevent disastrous changes to 1985...without interfering with his first trip.Fun movie, Michael J. Fox playing Martie's daughter is pretty funny and I'm still waiting for the cool future that was in this movie.
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsC. Thomas HowellMatt DillonRalph MacchioIn a small Oklahoma town in 1964, the rivalry between two gangs, the poor Greasers and the rich Socs, heats up when one gang member accidentally kills a member of the other.The Dvd that's called "the book", well is really the book completely. The original version is a good movie too but a lot is cut out, still not a bad movie.
- DirectorJames WongStarsDevon SawaAli LarterKerr SmithAfter getting a premonition about a plane crash on his school trip, Alex, a student saves a few of his classmates. However, their situation gets complicated when death starts chasing them.This movie was cool, the others suck though.
- DirectorJames WanStarsCary ElwesLeigh WhannellDanny GloverTwo strangers awaken in a room with no recollection of how they got there, and soon discover they're pawns in a deadly game perpetrated by a notorious serial killer.A horror classic, the others? Hell no!
- DirectorMarc ForsterStarsDaniel CraigOlga KurylenkoMathieu AmalricJames Bond descends into mystery as he tries to stop a mysterious organisation from eliminating a country's most valuable resource.Follows the story after Casino Royale rather than having a fresh and new story for the worthy Bond, Daniel Craig. Ok, well he's still in good form and there's good action at least.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufMegan FoxJosh DuhamelSam Witwicky leaves the Autobots behind for a normal life. But when his mind is filled with cryptic symbols, the Decepticons target him and he is dragged back into the Transformers' war.Bay is on my list of bad directors, yet I think some of his movies are slammed too hard and this is one of them. I think he has potential but he only thinks his movies should be loud, full of slow motion action and explosions and Transformers the show even had more story than these movies. And the over-used Sam Witwicky was nowhere to be seen!
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufMegan FoxJosh DuhamelAn ancient struggle between two Cybertronian races, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, comes to Earth, with a clue to the ultimate power held by a teenager.I'm a Bay hater but I loved Transformers and the Island since they offer some charm and not just explosions.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsScarlett JohanssonEwan McGregorDjimon HounsouA man living in a futuristic sterile colony begins to question his circumscribed existence when his friend is chosen to go to the Island, the last uncontaminated place on earth.The beginning is good Sci-fi and the rest is an action movie but not a bad one.
- DirectorChris WeitzStarsKristen StewartRobert PattinsonTaylor LautnerAfter Edward leaves because of an incident involving Bella, Jacob Black becomes her best friend. But what Bella doesn't realize is that Jacob also has a secret that will change their lives suddenly.I enjoyed this one the most, I guess since there's not much of Edward lol.
- DirectorRaja GosnellStarsHank AzariaKaty PerryJonathan WintersWhen the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world into New York City.Bad movie, but awful? I was moved by some parts but the Smurfs in NYC, what drug were the film-makers Smurfing!
- DirectorWillard HuyckStarsLea ThompsonJeffrey JonesTim RobbinsA sarcastic humanoid duck is pulled from his homeworld to Earth where he must stop an alien invasion with the help of a nerdy scientist and a struggling female rock singer.I grew up with this movie and I turned out fine, well sort of lol
- DirectorLeonard NimoyStarsTom SelleckSteve GuttenbergTed DansonJack Holden and his friends, Peter and Michael, spend most of their time having flings with several women in their apartment. Their life changes when a mysterious baby appears at their doorstep.Full House the movie, just not lame with Bob Sagget giving a heart felt talk at the end. This movie is cute and harmless.
- DirectorChris ColumbusStarsMacaulay CulkinJoe PesciDaniel SternOne year after Kevin McCallister was left home alone and had to defeat a pair of bumbling burglars, he accidentally finds himself stranded in New York City - and the same criminals are not far behind.Same movie but in NYC, but it still has charm and isn't part 3 at least.
- DirectorHoward DeutchStarsDan AykroydJohn CandyStephanie FaracyA Chicago man and his family go camping with his obnoxious brother-in-law.Better than anything poor John Candy did right before he died, much better, heck I can watch this over and over again.
- DirectorRob ReinerStarsElijah WoodBruce WillisJason AlexanderSick of the neglect he receives from his mom and dad, a young boy leaves home and travels the world in search of new parents.Dumb, but entertaining dumb.
- DirectorJoe JohnstonStarsSam NeillWilliam H. MacyTéa LeoniA decidedly odd couple with ulterior motives convince Dr. Grant to go to Isla Sorna for a holiday, but their unexpected landing startles the island's new inhabitants.Weak plot has Grant (Sam Neil) guiding 2 frantic parents on a dinosaur full island to find their lost son, but hey beats Ian Malcolm's daughter killing a raptor with gymnastics!
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsDustin HoffmanRobin WilliamsJulia RobertsWhen Captain James Hook kidnaps his children, an adult Peter Pan must return to Neverland and reclaim his youthful spirit in order to challenge his old enemy.Took me awhile to realize that the great Spielberg actually directed this, since it had it's flaws but was it awful? No! It's pretty magical actually.
- DirectorJoseph KosinskiStarsJeff BridgesGarrett HedlundOlivia WildeThe son of a virtual world designer goes looking for his father and ends up inside the digital world that his father designed. He meets his father's corrupted creation and a unique ally who was born inside the digital world.Been called more of a theme park ride than a movie. So what? It's still a fun escape from reality and isn't that why we go to the movies?
- DirectorPhil LordChristopher MillerStarsAnna FarisBill HaderBruce CampbellA local scientist is often regarded as a failure until he invents a machine that can make food fall from the sky. But little does he know that things are about to take a turn for the worst.Critic A.O Scott acted like this film was evil, but it's harmless and funny.
- DirectorPeyton ReedStarsJim CarreyZooey DeschanelBradley CooperA man challenges himself to say "yes" to everything.Liar Liar again but not as good is what was said but it really isn't bad!
- DirectorMike MitchellStarsMike MyersCameron DiazEddie MurphyRumpelstiltskin tricks a mid-life crisis burdened Shrek into allowing himself to be erased from existence and cast in a dark alternate timeline where Rumpelstiltskin rules supreme.Much much better than part 3 and thank God......there's no Artie (Justin Timberlake).
- DirectorJohn WooStarsTom CruiseDougray ScottThandiwe NewtonIMF agent Ethan Hunt is sent to Sydney to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called "Chimera".I think Tom Cruise killed off the Tv characters so we could get even more of him playing and showing off as a character that wasn't even in the show. Watch him climb mountains, spin kick and ride motorcycles, yet I love this Bond meets John Woo action flick!
- DirectorAndrey KonchalovskiyStarsRichard PhilippsFernanda DorogiKriszta DorogiIn 1920s Vienna, a young girl receives a magical doll on Christmas Eve.The Nutcracker meets Doctor Who in this strange and sometimes creepy movie. But did I hate it ? Not when Elle Fanning lights up the screen and not when the film still manages to have some charm. Again, it's strange but I respect that in a movie
- DirectorMark Steven JohnsonStarsBen AffleckJennifer GarnerColin FarrellA man blinded by toxic waste which also enhanced his remaining senses fights crime as an acrobatic martial arts superhero.Dark and sometimes stupid but much better than they say!
- DirectorTim StoryStarsIoan GruffuddJessica AlbaChris EvansThe Fantastic Four learn that they aren't the only super-powered beings in the universe when they square off against the powerful Silver Surfer and the planet-eating Galactus.Part one belongs on this list too, but this one is especially fun and better than critics said
- DirectorTim StoryStarsIoan GruffuddMichael ChiklisChris EvansA group of astronauts gain superpowers after a cosmic radiation exposure and must use them to oppose the plans of their enemy, Doctor Victor Von Doom.
- DirectorJoe JohnstonStarsRobin WilliamsKirsten DunstBonnie HuntWhen two kids find and play a magical board game, they release a man trapped in it for decades - and a host of dangers that can only be stopped by finishing the game.Critics said it was too scary for kids. So that means it deserved bad reviews ? The movie is a word I used a lot with this list.....fun! Also original which is what critics should be wanting from their movies!
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHarrison FordCate BlanchettShia LaBeoufIndiana Jones becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind mysterious artifacts known as the Crystal Skulls.Should be called Indiana Jones and the only plot we could think of after 20 years of thinking. But that title is too long. Yet, I had...that word again "fun" watching this goofy and dare I say, entertaining movie.
- DirectorTed KotcheffStarsAndrew McCarthyJonathan SilvermanCatherine Mary StewartTwo idiots try to pretend that their murdered employer is really alive, leading the hitman to attempt to track him down to finish him off.It does what comedies should do, it made me laugh!
- DirectorPeter FaimanStarsPaul HoganLinda KozlowskiJohn MeillonAn American reporter goes to the Australian outback to meet an eccentric crocodile poacher and invites him to New York City.Box office hit, but not a hit with critics but this is much better than the romantic comedy crap that's made these days.
- DirectorIvan ReitmanStarsHarrison FordAnne HecheDavid SchwimmerRobin Monroe, a New York magazine editor, and the gruff pilot Quinn Harris must put aside their mutual dislike if they are to survive after crash landing on a deserted South Seas island.The leads have chemistry and the film is likable, at least I think so.
- DirectorRussell MulcahyStarsAlec BaldwinJohn LonePenelope Ann MillerIn 1930s New York City, The Shadow (Alec Baldwin) battles his nemesis, Shiwan Khan (John Lone), who is building an atomic bomb.Alec Baldwin looks a lot like...William Baldwin when he's the Shadow lol. But other than that, I love this movie.
- DirectorEric BrevigStarsDan AykroydJustin TimberlakeAnna FarisA documentary filmmaker travels to Jellystone Park to shoot a project and soon crosses paths with Yogi Bear, his sidekick Boo-Boo and Ranger Smith.Faithful to the show and really not horrible like they say.
