Lots of crap from Hollyweird - nothing new there.
I’m inclined to agree with most of the selection, but I’m going to hold off on “Valkyrie” until I’ve actually seen it.
Fair is fair.
Holmes should have been in Dark Knight, instead of Dogface.
Was pleased to see “W” bombed at box office

Every single one of them...
“The Happening” was a huge disappointment for me. Global warming BS at its worst. The only entertaing part of that whole movie for me was in about the first five minutes when the construction workers were jumping off the building and my daughter commented “It’s raining men!” I was further disguted by the fact that I paid full price to watch that garbage, usually I go to a matinee showing of movies for a lesser price.
“Quantum of Solace” is a perfectly fine James Bond movie. Lib critics hate it because the villain is an environmentalist fraud who occasionally resembles Al Gore. It’s too close to reality for them.
I would add Bill Mahers “Religulous” to that list, and maybe at the top of the list.
I understand that “The Day The Earth Stood Still” with its new-improved glo-bull warming message is stinking up the box office too, and that pleases me to no end.
By far, the worst film ever.
The worst TWO films ever.
The embarrassing, paralyzing stupidity of this film is beyond description. This movie is so bad that God Himself openly prays for Dustin Hoffman's death.
It's completely immaterial if this film was released last year, or the year before, or preceded Birth of a Nation. It's staggering horribility transcends time and skews the laws of space.

Doesn't matter, I'm going over to Netflix shortly. I have had enough.
I hate it when I can't rent older decent movies.
I watched Cloverfield, and...I must say, for all of its faults, it did have one very redeeming feature...
It was great to see all of these self centered, whiney New York people get eaten (They aren’t yuppies...they are called something else now) crushed and otherwise abused by the monster.
Every single one of them, hands down, no questions asked, would have been an Obama voter.
On the extremely negative side, that hand-held camera quality is enough to make you barf and give you a splitting headache.
Even still...:)
I must say I enjoyed one that isn't on the list: Hellboy 2 was lots of fun.
The scene with the line about Al Green on CD is priceless!
It is much harder to find a couple films that were worth a crap.
I kinda liked Cloverfield. Granted it wasn’t really anything new other then giving a different perspective on the monster smashing up cities movies.
There’s only 2 of them I’ve even heard of.
One was how bad Mama Mia was when it came out. (courtesy Glen Beck)
And the recent ads for Tom “Please Come Out Of The Closet” Cruise’ new movie.
But then again...the last movie I saw at a theater was “the Lion King” . (whatever year THAT was)
#1. The Women
#1. any film starring George Clooney
Klaus von Stauffenberg who tried to blow up Hitler was an honorable and serious man. Having the dimwitted Tom Cruise play him makes the film “Valkyrie” unwatchable.
I haven’t seen “Quantum of Solace,” nor do I intend to. When it’s star said that BO should be the next James Bond, I found another dimwit.
The last time I went to a theater to see a movie was to see “The Perfect Storm” with George Clooney. Since then, the wife and I have been happy to watch the same movies for $5 a shot from Blockbuster.
