Freddie Got Fingered

Neko, I thought Monster's Ball was one of the best movies ever.... I can't believe you hated it, what did you hate about it? It was amazing.

Freddie Got Fingered was the previous year.

According to the Razzies, here are the worst movies and performances of the year:

WORST PICTURE:
The Adventures of Pluto Nash
Crossroads
Pinocchio
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Swept Away

WORST ACTOR:
Roberto Benigni, Pinocchio
Adriano Giannini, Swept Away
Eddie Murphy, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, I Spy and Showtime
Steven Seagal, Half Past Dead
Adam Sandler, Adam Sandler's 8 Crazy Nights and Mr. Deeds

WORST ACTRESS:
Angelina Jolie, Life or Something Like It
Jennifer Lopez, Enough and Maid in Manhattan
Madonna, Swept Away
Winona Ryder, Mr. Deeds
Britney Spears, Crossroads

WORST SUPPORTING ACTOR:
Hayden Christensen, Star Wars
Tom Green, Stealing Harvard
Freddie Prinze, Jr., Scooby Doo
Christopher Walken, The Country Bears
Robin Williams, Death to Smoochy

WORST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:
Lara Flynn Boyle, Men in Black II
Bo Derek, Master of Disguise
Madonna, Die Another Day
Natalie Portman, Star Wars
Rebecca Ramijn-Stamos, Rollerball

------

I'm a little surprised that they nominated Star Wars. It wasn't great, but surely it wasn't that bad. I am flabbergasted at the omission of Sccoby Doo - I'd hand it worst picture right now!

And clearly they will make Madonna a double winner. I think it's a bit overkill to nominate her for Supporting Actress. Her role as Verity the fencing instructor lasted about three minutes. The Razzies really hate her.

Rented Steven Soderburgh's "Full Frontal" yesterday. Don't waste your money. What a waste of a talented cast. No plot whatsoever.

Although it can't compare to Scooby Do and some of the others mentioned here, I just rented One Hour Photo. There was so much wrong with that movie, I can't even begin. The store bugged the heck out of me, what store has that huge open space in the front? You know they are packing merchandise onto every tile they can. Robin Williams was just strange, not scary or creepy. (Could be because I'll always see him as Mrs. Doubtfire or Good Morning Vietnam Guy). All in all, they took almost 2 hours to go thru what should have taken 20 minutes. Oh, and Eric LaSalle must be hard-up for gigs to have taken that role. JMHO

xXx er Triple x I saw the movie and enjoyed it just cause I had nothing else to do. If your a fan of the movie I'm sorry, but, it stunk. I can't believe how many stupid things were in that movie.

Ok so xXx was an extreme sports junkie. SO the part about him being able to do the "spy" stunts was acceptable.

Ummm don't read this if you haven't seen the movie cause I'm gonna talk about what happens in it. :o)

Then there was the whole part of the "secret agent" at the beginning wear a tux (And the ONLY guy in the movie that wore a tux). He stumbles into what else when wear a tux and hiding from the bad guy, but, a GOTH CLUB?? Not only that, but, the very ONE owned by the bad guys and where the bad guys just happened to be. So he rightfully gets shot like any stupid secret agent would.

Then they are talking and the line that really made me think "How stupid do they think we are" was when Samuel Jackson said "They can smell the training on our agents a mile away" Umm Sammy could that be because ya send a guy wearing a tux into the goth part of the check republic?

Then when they kidnap Triple x and he wakes in the dinner. Ok maybe he could have really saved the day in that situation A little much bravado with the walking up to the guy with the shot gun. And maybe he would have noticed the lady wearing the high heels.

But, come on people that whole talk he gave Samuel Jackson after he beat up the supposed bad guys. Ok I'm pretty street smart, but, if I see someone reading the wallstreet Journal on a sunday I ain't gonna care. And if I see a waitress with high heels on I'm not gonna give it more thought then wondering how she dealt with the blisters.


Then the part with the drug dealers and the Machete The line "What's funny is that actually smells like real blood" Umm what does blood smell like? hehe :o)


Well ok I'll not go into the rest of it ya know the 20+ foot bunny hops with the motorcycle and all that. But, I'll just say that the movie had a terrible story line and they never thought anything out.

Jed.

Thank you for posting that Crazydog

I disagree with one of their selections. I loved "Showtime" and I thought Eddie Murphy did a great job in it.

lol Not1 - I liked "one hour photo" because I enjoy seeing Robin Williams play off-character. (His role in "Dead Again" is a great example). I also tend to enjoy tripped out movies, and this definitely qualified. I agree about the front of the store though, commented on the same thing to hubby when we were watching it.

Anyone who wants to gross out their hubby or boyfriend should rent "Rules of Attraction." There's not much of a plot, but you can enjoy turning the tables on them while they squirm through the "boy" scenes lol. We girls are expected to sit through "girl" scenes while they ooh & ahh...turnabout's fair play. = )

I think xXx was a stupid movie, but it was stupid entertainment. It has Vin Diesel. I didn't go into it expecting great acting or great plots, just a bunch of cool effects and stunts. I was entertained, even though the movie itself was ridiculous. Particularly the part where he can out-snowboard an avalanche but the bad guys who are on snowmobiles cannot.

I've been ranting about it in its own thread, but I am going to submit "Unfaithful" as one of the worst movies I have seen this year. Sure it's not "Scooby Doo" bad, but it's still bad.

RE: "One Hour Photo" and the space at the front of the store -- I think that the entire store was supposed to be a symbol of something in the Williams character's life that was seemingly safe and clean and Disney-esque. Did you also notice that all of the shelves were stocked perfectly with rows and rows of the same product/product color, and that everything was spotless? This caracature of the "perfect" store contrasted with the dark, dank reality of his own life outside of the store. Just my opinion, but I don't think it was supposed to be realistic -- maybe we were viewing the store as Williams thought of it -- something safe and clean and a haven of sorts.

That said, I didn't think it was a great movie either -- like someone above said, I thought Williams' character was weird, but not really scary.

Yankee, I agree that the store in One Hour Photo isn't suppose to be realistic, it's a visual effect (wide angle lens probably) to create a feeling of starkness, bleakness, and isolation. There wasn't much color at all. It was very lonely and isolated, like Williams' character was.

I did understand that there was beaucoup symbolism going on, it just bugged me. Not subtle enough for me, I suppose. There were just so many things that didn't make sense and distracted me from the movie. Does anyone really let their child ride that far home through unpopulated areas by themself anymore? I don't let my children around the corner. Stuff like that bugs me. If the movie itself were better, I could have let that stuff slide. My husband says I'm picky. He's been right a time or two.

Oh my goodness! I just tried to watch Death to Smoochie last night on Cinamax. I see what those who put it the worst of the year catagory were saying! Why did anyone think that would work! I didn't make it to the end.

Hummingbird, I thought about watching that last night and passed. Found a baseball game instead. Seeing your post makes me think I made the right choice!
