A documentary criticizing U.S. Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton tied on Saturday with superhero ensemble "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" on a list of the year's worst achievements in film, winning four Razzies apiece.
The annual tongue-in-cheek Razzie awards, which serve as an antidote to Hollywood's Oscars ceremony, named Dinesh D'Souza's "Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party" as the worst film of 2016.

That picture is my background on my P.C.
Love the way 0bama resembles Dracula getting hit by a beam of sunlight.
Ronda Rousey was talked about as Miss Marvel but I think they cast someone else...
It is to me fun. One week Superman is dead and the next he is saving the world. Casting a decent bad guy is clearly difficult but they just can try a new one next time. People miss the point.
No Lefty will ever like an anti Hillary movie. Who cares? I hope Dinesh made enough to keep new projects going. Have not seen that Hillary one yet.
Total dyke.
and jfk is hiding in the background on the constitutional side... with Ronnie Reagan :)
It’s a liberal thing. The snowflakes are still upset about getting their asses kicked in November. They’ll get over it. Most AMERICANS have already begun to ignore their childish antics, vagina costumes and shenanigans. It’s like binging on all the Muppet Shows at one setting.
Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill are pretty boring guys, and the plot wasn't something I could take even remotely seriously -- not even on the comic book level.
The film makers decided Superman and Batman were going to fight and they brute forced their way to that confrontation.
But at least the characters were familiar. It was hard to keep the characters straight in the other superhero movies.
It seems like there are a few basic types that repeat ad infinitum, only with differences in what their powers are.
Well, Wonder Woman is an Amazon...
HILLARY’S AMERICA did a great job exposing the actual history of the Democrat party. No wonder they hate it.
It should be required viewing for every high school student in the country, especially at black schools.
Pure politics. Why would Dinesh win the “worst actor” razzie? His was a documentary. How much did Affleck pay the Razzies not to win one? We can no longer even take the razzies “seriously” because they’re on the same page as the radical page as the Oscars. I hate Hollywood.
I know I always ask Hollywood for permission every time I
need to go to the bathroom. - As a plus, this is just the
free advertising Dinesh’s movie about Hitler-y Clinton
needs to get more people to see it. :o)
He was. Part of "Hillary's America" is shot in that prison. When he told the other inmates why he was in (that he over-donated to a friend's political campaign), they just laughed. They thought it was hilarious that he was in jail for that. They also seemed to think he had a lot of guts, 'cause from their pov, he had gone after the "top dogs". That took "guts". It is an interesting doctumentary and hubby and I enjoyed it. That the left didn't, means it was probably effective in it's portrayal of Hillary, and the Dem party.
Yes he did time for it. I heard him talk about it. His “crime” was he gave a friend 25K to help her run for Congress, not knowing it exceeded legal amounts. He never asked for any favors and she was never elected. Most people would get a fine, but for some mysterious reason he got prison time. Originally he was supposed to be sent to a Club Fed type prison, but at the last minute the judge changed it to a year in a holding center. He thought that was a break, but in reality it meant he was spending his time with drug dealers and bank robbers instead of white collar criminals.
He said when he was there he expected everyone to say they were innocent but they all admitted to being guilty. They told him “We are the stupid criminals. The politicians are the smart criminals. They know how to get away with it”. He said it was a real education he couldn’t have gotten anywhere else, and he wrote a book, “Stealing America” about how the pols are doing just that.

I liked Ant Man and Deadpool a lot. Both were funny, though the latter is too graphic (no pun intended) for some people, and really not for kids. But I loved the “4th wall” approach where the action stops while the character talks to the camera, and having the character played by Ryan Reynolds mocking Ryan Reynolds acting ability was hilarious.
I was always more of a Marvel fan than DC, but Dark Knight was a great movie.
Deadpool was great but I thought Ant-Man was marred by that stupid toy train scene.
B v S was pretty bad. DC hasn’t made a decent comic book movie since The Dark Knight...and that was only great because of Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker. Their heroes in movies have so far been uninspiring and unremarkable. Marvel, on the other hand, is cleaning up at the box office. I don’t see their cinema dominance changing soon.
I’m glad to hear that Dinesh made it through prison time without being seriously beaten or harassed. The guards can’t be everywhere in such places.
I loved that scene, actually LOLed, with is rare for me. Oh well to each their own.
As for B vs S, the whole idea is preposterous. Superman could destroy Batman in a nanosecond. So the whole plot has to be a contrivance to give Batman some kind of chance (no I haven't seen the movie). I suspect it was mainly done for a double marketing opportunity.
Seems like most of the other movies are four or five heroes. You have the brash, cocky young guy, the sarcastic chick, the older, wiser leader, and the slow thinking muscleman, trading insults that aren't very funny and fighting villains who are equally stereotyped.
The earlier films were smart in focusing on one hero -- Superman or Batman or Spiderman. You could get to know the main character pretty well. But all these recent ones that pit a variety of poorly developed characters against each other aren't my thing.
Just my opinion.
Wow
I must be in the minority, I enjoyed Batman vs Superman (I did think Lex Luthor was the weak link).
