Countdown to the Oscars - WORST 5 movie events of 2007
These may not be the truly worst movies of 2007, as thankfully we no longer attempt to see ALL of the releases. However, in the spirit of Triva, Bad Movie Night, and accidents..we do see a few nasties.
#1 Wild Hogs: It would have been nice to find a photo that truly represented the asinine, homophobic ragings of this movie built for over-the-hill yuppies, or at least one that showed the Jim Carryesque mugging that Travolta attempts.
#2 Music and Lyrics: If you are going to do formula, can you at least hire people desperate to act on the large screen so that they at least TRY to pull off some sort of acting feat as they wade through the crap plot.
#3 Ghost Rider: I think coffeefortwo has said all that needs to be said about this flick. Again...Lazy. Infantile. Unimaginative.
#4 Beowulf: I believe this movie was greenlit entirely due to the hook of Jolie prancing around as a nude golden witch. which is fine. if you're 14. if you're not it is just boring, not titilating. the violence they get away with is fairly stunning though. and yeah, the dragons are cool. but not redeemingly cool.
#5 Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer: Note, the photo is NOT of the SS, it is of the most highly over-rated, over-thought-of actress in 'young hollywood'. Wood is right. she is playing a scientist, so they put some specs on her and give her lines like:
"[after burning her clothes with Johnny's power and is now completely naked] Why does this always happen to me?" AND " [to Reed] I'm so hot for you right now. "
I would have tried to find some psuedo-scientific made up language quote for her...but it turns out she can't actually pull off the science thing so they clearly gave up.
