Yes. The worst ever.
I do miss going to the movies , but if they don’t make any how can I go?
Hollywood jumped the shark.
I thought the worse movie ever made was Battlefield Earth that church of Scientology production with John Travolta’s.
That movie was terrible.
I like Book of Eli but the rest of the year......ugh
The COST to get into see a marginal flic isn’t worth it in my opinion & even the so called bargain matinee’s are too much!

Doesn’t Joe Qeenan hate conservatives? Screw TV and Hollywood. I cancelled Tv a year ago.
I avoid movies unless I know the cast are not raging libs which is hard. Last one was Batman as Michael Caine loathes what the Labour Party has done, Oldman got into it with Dem directors on one movie and Bale is no prize but he thought his liberal step mother Gloria Steinem was an idiot. It is easier to just avoid movies.
Shia LeBeof - who is he related to? Rahm’s super agent brother? He sucks and is not attractive at all.
Did Wall Street 2 die at the box office or did it not come out yet? Maybe Oliver Stone can have a cameo with an emoting and sympathetic Hitler.
Great article. They’ve been making duds for YEARS, but this is the worst I’ve ever seen. Blah.
Inception was great. I’ve seen some good movies this year, but it does appear that there were also some bad ones.
erotic yes - funny no
"Toy Story 3" is the only 2010 release I've seen, and it sounds like I've been right in avoiding all the others.
Yesterday I went and saw a movie at the theatre, but it was a 1927 release! "Metropolis," complete and restored. It was worth seeing.

“Toy Story 3” and “Inception” I liked. That is all.
By the way, how was “Iron Man” “subversive”? Robert Downey wasn’t an obvious choice, but he played the guy exactly as you’d expect after hearing Robert Downey, Jr. was cast. Not the standard superhero-type, but a perfect celebrity-type, and from what I understand the Iron Man guy is a, in fact, a playboy-magnate-man of the world. What would you expect, really, for superheroes to act like if they actually existed (and didn’t have alter-egos)? Pretty much like him, I’d think.
You can say that’s all fine, but it’s not the stereotype. Based on who, exactly? George Reeves? It’s been a while. In recent memory we have Michael Keaton—of ‘89 “Batman” fame and the bridge between the old “Superman” era and the current craze ignited by “X-Men” and “Spiderman”—not exactly the anti-Downey, Jr.
What it comes down to, methinks, is that people were surprised when they first heard who would play Iron Man. Once in the theater, though, everyone felt it was perfect. Compare to Johnny Depp in “Pirates of the Carribean”—a genuinely subversive performance—and, Lord, what a difference. In that case, you might have questioned it going in, but once in the theater, you say, “What the hell is going on? Is he drunk? Is he gay?” That’s a big difference.
Dunno. There was Toy Story 3, Despicable Me, Ramona and Beezus, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and The Last Airbender. They ranged from great to okay.
Not only have movies sucked for the last 10 years or so, but with ticket prices north of $10.00, who wants to see a dud. Way back when movies were $4.00 -$5.00 I’d take a chance on a so so movie, but at today’s prices I have to be sure it’s a great movie. For the most part I wait for the DVD, and then get that at the public library.
Alice in Wonderland was great up until near the end, then just became standard. Great casting of Depp and Carter.
Hollywood made a ton of crap in the good-ole-days also.
We only remember the great ones, the shlock is long forgotten.
I picked up a gangster movie 4 pack (deep discount at Kmart) All 4 movies have recognizable casts. I don’t think any of them were ever released in theaters. Of the three movies advertised on the front end of the disc, I only remember one being in theaters.
How much money was lost producing these 4 direct to video dogs (I’v never even seen them on cable)?
PS: I have to disagree about "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Not only is it boring and unfunny, but no New York hooker would walk away from pink diamond tiaras and millionaires for an impoverished writer. And while Audrey Hepburn is glorious, their original choice of Marilyn Monroe would have made it a legit classic.
I would also swap out "Gone With The Wind" with the faaaaarrrrr superior "Jezebel".
Just my opinion.
