Terrence Malick Movies

Friday, July 22, 2011 at 11:58 am

Director Terrence Malick once did an uncredited rewrite of Dirty Harry. From what I can tell, that may have been the highlight of his career. Of course, my assessment may seem a bit unfair considering that I’ve only seen one of Malick’s feature films. Not that I have many to choose from, mind you. In [...]

Films from George Lucas George Lucas movies have made the bearded geek a billionaire in spite of himself. While he’s turned out some of the most iconic films in motion picture history, he’s also proven himself to be maddeningly inconsistent.

M. Night Shyamalan Movies

Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 7:39 am

I’ve never been a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan movies. After having a monster hit thanks to the presence of Bruce Willis and a twist ending that caught audiences by surprise, almost all of his subsequent releases have relied on the same gimmick…with increasingly diminishing results. That being said, I still wanted to put [...]

The worst movie titles manage to confuse and often repel potential customers, resulting in poor box office receipts and diminished careers. I’ve scoured my memory (and the Internet) in order to make this list, but feel free to chime in if you can think of any titles I’ve overlooked. Not coincidentally, most of the films on [...]

If you like to laugh at dogs humping and men getting hit in the balls, then be sure to check out these 13 good Hollywood movies for idiots. When I say “good,” I mean that the films made a killing at the box office. Otherwise, they were substandard efforts designed to appeal to the lowest [...]

Thursday, January 7, 2010 at 6:55 pm

This list is dedicated to the 15 worst films of the last decade. As you may remember, I did a post the other day on the biggest disappointments in cinema of the last ten years. While there’s a bit of overlap between the two lists, the following films did more than just disappoint…they flat-out sucked. [...]

Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at 6:08 pm

This list of the 10 biggest movie disappointments of the last decade is my attempt to document the films that failed to live up to my lofty expectations from 1999 to 2009. I still enjoyed some of the movies on this list, but nowhere near as much as I’d hoped. If you’ve got a bone [...]
