"The Wicker Man" (2006)

An unnecessary remake of a 1973 classic. Quite frankly they would have better off throwing the script into the fire rather than Nick Cage!

Poor on so many levels!

Plan 9 From Outer Space - Also one of my favorites!! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/6-kCC8WUKYk
I should add that this was Bela Lugosi's last film. "Can your heart stand the shocking facts about......" Winner of the Golden Turkey Award.

Cheaper by the Dozen. I hate that movie so much. I love Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt. And I hate, hate, hate that movie with every ounce of my being, for some reason.

Meet the Fockers was also one that I detested.

By far, The Counselor. Oh my, you do not know bad until you have seen this one.

The Hollywood Reporter:
Despite its scaldingly hot cast and formidable writer/director combination,
The Counselor
is simply not a very likable or gratifying film. In fact, it's a bummer.
Another:The Counselor is hard to like, and the movie makes no
concessions to help the viewer like it.

Default I'm the winner!

I once make my husband go a movie that was so long that it had an official 60 minute dinner break.

It was, and I am not joking, TEN HOURS LONG, not counting the dinner break. It was a documentary about Nazi Germany. Parts of it was absolutely amazing and very interesting, showing the different types of propaganda films used in the country during the war, and parts of it were so bad that I thought that I (a special ed. teacher) could have easily written & filmed something ten times better.

You needed to purchase the tickets in advance for this special showing. The hours were something like 1 PM to 6 PM and then 7 PM to midnight. The theater started out almost full but most of the crowd did not return after the meal break. People kept leaving and leaving until there were only about a dozen of us left in the huge entire movie. My husband kept wanting to leave but I had never walked out of a movie and I thought that it had to get better. It did not.

That was over 30 years ago and my husband still occasionally teases me about it.

It took you 11 hours to figure that out?

Wanna see something bad? Go see The Boss.

Far too many to think of which was worst...

If I recall it correctly, the parts that focused on Leni Reifenstahl and showed & discussed various propaganda films was outstanding. But, may it was because those were in the first five or six hours and after that we were pretty tired.

I bet if it would have been used in graduate school class on film making it would have been great but for casual viewers in a movie theater. Not so great.

It is possible that it was sponsored by a University film group or a University history club. it was shown in a theater near the campus of a major University.


But, ten hours, plus a one dinner break, was way TOO long!
