shitiest movies (2006)

[...valta...]

maybe 2 worst movies I've ever seen...

Hard Candy and Panic Room

both are not cheap and well advertised

characters behavior in both films is totally against human logics...
script writers and director did GREAT JOB... sometimes I couldn't even get the meaning of the plot steps... NO FCKN LOGICS!

was really disappointed... but couldn't stop watching.. was just curious if it can go MORE stupid... both did

what's yer experience?

[thomas hooked]

domino. without any shadow of a doubt

[Jeniffer Mills]

Snakes on a plane....

[jukka]

i haven't watched a recent movie so far, but i could bet rocky is gonna be shit !

[penciLneck]

I thought hard candy was good. the testicle removing part was inspired.

my nomination has to go to..

Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World

and Domino was just a exercise in seeing how many shots of Keira Knightleys ass you can get in one movie.

[spoon]

yeah, hard candy was woeful. saw stranger than fiction with will ferrel recently. garbage.

[grobelaar]

Were there any decent movies? :)

[Jeniffer Mills]

Were there any decent movies? :)

Thats in another thread..innit?

[spoon]

the good shepherd is very good. directed by deniro, amazing cast. all about the cia's early days and how it turned into its founder's worst nightmare.

didn't know she even had an ass!

[penciLneck]

not much of one admittedly.

I liked the good shepherd too, why did you hate hard candy so, I thought it was fairly decent for an indie.

[Hand on the Plow]

Well I didn't really watch many films last year, the most dissapointing movie I went to see in the Cinema in 2006 was 'The Departed', not totally shit, just very dissapointing.

[spoon]

not much of one admittedly.

i thought it was just an unconvincingly facile role reversal which i would have quickly forgotten about, but mark kermode keeps hailing it as some sort of work of mind-shattereing genius - so i have to hate it. sorry pencilneck, blame the clueless quifftwat himself!

[spoon]

i really liked the departed, not nearly as good as goodfellas or even casino. but a bloody good gangster flick for what it was - better than the hong kong original (can't rememeber the name of it now..) i thought. that, children of men and pan's labyrinth were my favourites of the year.

Aren't testicle removing scenes always inspired?

PS I see spoon beat me to it with the ass comment. Under the terms of the trade descriptions act that is NOT an ass.

[V Knid esq]

I don't really watch films, but caught a few on plane on hols.... Black Dahlia, The Prestige and Marie Antoinette all big let-downs :( At least the last two had Scarlett Johanssen semi clad in though.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Would like to see Children of Men, it's getting some big props from all the Sound Design type people.. won a Bafta for cinematography too.

[V Knid esq]

Flushed Away was great.

[wheezer]

I actually tried watching snakes on a plane a couple of weeks ago... it was just plain bad - as opposed to 'fun to have some shots while watching' bad

[penciLneck]

OMFG that guy is annoying, can you imagine how I felt when he replaced Alex Cox on Moviedrome.

[shuttlecart]

children of men might have been good with no dialogue..how the fuck has clive owen managed to convince the world that he can act.

v for vendetta was terrible

a history of violence was terrible too.

[Paddy]

v for vendetta was most definately pants. i don't think i went to the cinema once last year.

[AVX23]

The only film I seen last year at the cinema was Jarhead I think, but I liked that.

the worst film I seen was either palindromes (which admitedly does have one funny scene in it) or brokeback mountain - which is absolute pants - majorly overhyped rubbish, nice scenery, but really boring shit film.

[Paddy]

hrrrm, i quite fancy palindromes. why didn't you like it paddy?

dope avatar btw.

[penciLneck]

I also thought that was shit, I was looking forward to it too, after enjoying most of Solondzs others.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

children of men might have been good with no dialogue..how the fuck has clive owen managed to convince the world that he can act.

Aye.. I watched Croupier for the first time the other night, he is so wooden.. he's crap.

Edit: I thought Palindromes was rubbish too.. What is 'Welcome to the Dollhouse' like?

[AVX23]

hrrrm, i quite fancy palindromes. why didn't you like it paddy?

dope avatar btw.

haha - cheers :)

I thought that badboy was rubbish because it is impossible to follow, and annoyingly so - eg: it swaps the actors about that play the parts !

I can't understand this at all - eg: ok it's about a young girl and her struggle to have a baby - and her adventures as a runaway (which are actually pretty dull) I'll leave it at that - there's more going on, but that's the bottom line.

so they have this main girl being played by - at one point a 20stone black girl, at other points a pretty thin blonde girl and various other actors of different ages, builds and what have you.

I'm sure there's stuff that the director might want to get across with this - but it just fucks the whole think IMO. Seems to me like they taking a vaguely banal subject matter and trying to pad it out with crazy ideas, which don't really work.

[penciLneck]

Fantastic. one of my favourite films of all time.

[Spandex]

children of men might have been good with no dialogue..how the fuck has clive owen managed to convince the world that he can act.

Everything I've seen him in, it looks like he's doing a pissweak audition for a part on Eastenders... as some kind of Mitchell bruvvas "undergraaaaand cwiminal".

It's a shame cos Croupier would have been pretty good with a decent lead..

Just downloaded Dollhouse... cool.

easily the best film of last year, Clive Owen aside, worth getting off torrent

the direction and cinematography are just amazing.. it feels so 'real'

i hated the way they put in nice visual clues as to the nature of the society they were living in but then felt the need to explain them in the dialogue for all the stoopid people. visuals nice..sound nice..premise nice..everything else utter baws

[Loz]

I think it's easy to get elitist when films spell it out to you for the stoopid people, but I reckon quite a lot of people who go to watch films need things spelled out for them

[shuttlecart]

it's not elitism..just a matter of taste..it just grates..did you get that..i don't like being told what i already know..it grates..did i tell you i don't like being told what i already know..it kinda grates on me

[Spandex]

but I reckon quite a lot of people who go to watch films need things spelled out for them

For some yeah.

I think it's easy to get elitist when films spell it out to you for the stoopid people,

But no.

If they lower standards to capture a larger audience, how is that different to having homogenous "easy" pop music topping the charts? It's obvious *why* it appeals to people, but it's not elitist to prefer something with a bit more substance.

Mind you... i find films pretty boring on the whole. Unless they're full of explosions and robots and spaceships.

[Loz]

lowering standards is one thing, but I'd rather they'd explain an interesting plotline, than dumb it down to something everyone can get without needing an explanation.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Film hater

[Spandex]

i'm bored again now. going to go look at some robots.

[Orang Utan]

I tend to find robots and explosions and people hitting each other rather boring to be honest. I like films with conversations, wit and weeping in them.

[V Knid esq]

Oh I know a film I enjoyed this year - Volver. Mmmmmmmmmmm Penelope Cruz doing the washing up seen from above...... not Almodovar's best by a long chalk but very good nonetheless.

[thepigjockey]

^saw that saturday night. The washing up shot....

Yeah I saw that. Was good. Short on robots but good.

[Loz]

this doesn't have robots, but it does have CATS that SHOOT LASERS

[love_tempo]

Volver was really good.
The Wind That Shakes the Barley was excellent (fuck what some of the english papers said, they wouldn't like it anyway)
Pan's Labyrinth was cool.
I thought The Departed was decent, I mean it was hardly going to be Godfather part IV.
The Beat that My Heart skipped was brilliant, but then I think that was released in 2005.
Not a great year for films, all told.

[shuttlecart]

the proposition were pretty good. proper 70's nihilistic vibe

[love_tempo]

sorry, the shitiest ones. Err, all the big ones that don't deserve naming properly Bond, Pirates, Children, Snakes etc...

[love_tempo]

the proposition were pretty good. proper 70's nihilistic vibe

Thanks for reminding me of that. I saw a trailer ages ago that looked great, but then forgot all about it. But again, that was 2005 which was a much better year for films for some reason.

[shuttlecart]

2005!! i'm beginning to think i slept in for 2006

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Pans Labyrinth was great.

I watched 'The Devils Backbone' the other night, which was good.. but didn't come close to Pan IMO.

[proober glombat]

pan's labarynth was ace.
'keane' was also top, recommended uncomfortabe viewing.

edit - just realised it's 2004! i saw it last year in my local indy cinema.
whoops.

still ace though...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420291/

[thomas hooked]

i loved palindromes

[love_tempo]

Keane, is that the one about the mental homeless guy in new york whose daughter is dead? I meant to see that too.

[proober glombat]

yep, thats the one.

[adsr]

sorry, the shitiest ones. Err, all the big ones that don't deserve naming properly Bond, Pirates, Children, Snakes etc...

pretty much sums up my list as well..


btw @ PencilNeck - Welcome to the Doll House is one of my all time favs as well...:)

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

'Epic Movie' looks good.

[adsr]

I'm making plans to watch
Hannibal Rising this long weekend and
Ghostriders??
anyone know anything about Ghostriders??

I'm looking forward to Hannibal Rising..anyone seen this one already??

[gypsy_cream]

ghostriders looks proper shit

[adsr]

ghostriders looks proper shit

I'm going w/ my little niece and nephew (they've picked that one out)
13yrs old the both of them.....is it ok for youngsters like them??

[Loz]

every review of Hannibal Rising I've seen is basically saying "what is the point of this film?"

@gypo - I see what you mean..
looked it up on netflix and found this:
In this hell-on-wheels thriller, Nicolas Cage stars as Johnny Blaze, a badass stunt cyclist who makes a Faustian bargain with the sinister Mephisto (Peter Fonda) to save a loved one. Years later, he offers Johnny the chance to reclaim his soul by vanquishing Blackheart (Wes Bentley) -- Mephisto's archenemy and son, who's scheming to depose his pop. The supporting cast includes Eva Mendes, Sam Elliott and Donal Logue.

It's going to be a very long 120minutes for me..

[adsr]

I will not think neg thoughts about this film..
I'm gonna keep my mind open..
I'll give you a full review after I see it...:)
