5 Worst Movies of 2010

2010 has been a year of very good films including Inception, Toy Story 3, The Book of Eli and more!.  I want to focus on the bad films of the year.

There were a lot of them out there so I wanted to give my take on the five films you should NEVER see.

My only hope is that you saved your money and missed these movies.  And if you disagree at all with my list, post your comments below & give your five movies!

We all love ’worst movie’ lists and this one is mine!

#4 | A Nightmare On Elm Street

I have never been more disappointed walking out of a theater than I was with this terrible remake of one of the greatest horror movies of all time.  From the moment it was announced that Jackie Earle Haley, the man behind Rorschach from Zack Snyder’s Watchmen, was going to don a fedora and swings those razor-fingered gloves in the role of legendary horror icon Freddie Krueger, I was stoked.  I didn’t think you could mess this movie up!  But out came a film with no originality, no scares, no real horror, and a HORRIBLE makeup job on Haley.  Not only was the botched burn makeup on Freddy really terrible, but I never realized how tiny of a man Jackie Earle Haley really is.  I kept thinking any minute that the original Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) was going to walk out and say…”I shall call him Mini-Me”.  Though the movie had a couple interesting visuals and ideas, the awful acting and dialogue made you just want Freddy put all the victims out of their misery quickly.

#3 | Jonah Hex

A comic adaptation about a scarred cowboy bounty hunter and his hooker sidekick going on a quest to take down John Malkovich.  If that isn’t a recipe for success, I don’t know what is!!  I am kidding by the way.  Anyway, the film, thankfully only 81 minutes, is just a mess from the opening credits to the ridiculous final fight sequence between Josh Brolin and Malkovich.  Megan Fox couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag and I only wished that her part would have been for a mute hooker sidekick so I could at least bear to have her on screen.  But we aren’t that lucky and we get her attempt at a Southern accent that makes James Van Der Beek from Varsity Blues feel a lot better about his life.  Jonah Hex was this year’s Box Office dud that only made $10.5 million in theaters compared to its overall budget of $47 million.  Brolin and Malkovich will still have careers after this.  As for Fox, Megan….who…???

#2 | Furry Vengeance

Oh Brendan Fraser…what have you done with your career?  Feels like just yesterday that I was enjoying The Mummy on TNT fourteen times a week and now you give us the poor man’s Dr. Dolittle!  In case you want to know what the movie is about, Brendan Fraser plays a real estate developer overseeing a building project that threatens the homes of the local forest creatures. Then the creatures decide to fight back.  Ok, that is all you need because I hope you never see it.  Horrible special effects, terrible acting by the entire cast, and did I mention Brendan Fraser.  Furry Vengeance is just plain pointless and is one of those movies that will be long forgotten in say…five seconds.  Stay clear of this film at all costs.  Fraser is a front runner for Worst Actor at The Razzies for sure.  Wait…what movie was I writting about again???

#1 | Cop Out

A comedy disaster about a veteran NYPD cop whose rare baseball card is stolen and needs help from Tracy Jordan from 30 Rock to get it back.  Wait…no….oh that is Tracy Morgan.  Well, I couldn’t tell the difference.  This film is just plain bad.  What happened to Kevin Smith??  What happened to Bruce Willis??  Both of them must be really hard up for cash to sign on to be a part of this unfunny, not clever buddy cop comedy mess of a movie.  Yes, Bruce Willis did make The Whole Ten Yards and after a while I forgave him for that.  But I will not forgive him for being in a movie about a stolen baseball card and driving around a city with the annoying Tracy Morgan while Stiffler’s in the back seat cracking bad jokes.  I will not stand for it.  Give me Die Hard 5 or give me death Bruce Willis!  Also as a fan of Kevin Smith, I hope his upcoming attempt at horror with the movie Red State brings my faith in him back.  And finally, Tracy Morgan, please go back to SNL and stay off my movie theater screen.
