Is that a typo? Grinch is up there but NOT Cat in the Hat? I thought it was clearly the opposite of which one was worse.
And 2012, National Treasure 2 and Saw movies are decent popcorn flicks for their audience. They're not abject failures like the rest of the list.

I disagree. All three are pretty much abysmal, awful films. The fact that they found an audience doesn't negate the fact that they suck.

While those are all some pretty bad movies, I find it kind of hard to believe that there were 100 movies that came out this decade worse than Lady in the Water and The Happening.  Also, Speed Racer should be in the top ten.

Stop trolling, Triumph.

Lady in the Water was pretty bad, but not list-worthy. I think The Happening should have been on the list, though.

I've got your back on that. The Grinch was fun, and surprisingly well-adapted. The Cat in the Hat, oh good christ what a stinkfest.

No, Lady in the Water was pretty turrible.  Also, Speed Racer, to me, is one of the ten worst films of the decade for what it represents.

I also liked Flyboys.  It was a grand "Old Hollywood" WWI flick, and the dogfight scenes were amazing.

No, it's pretty much the pinnacle of "let's throw pretty looking shit on the screen to the exclusion of ALL ELSE (acting, writing, directing, whatever) and call it a movie" that I really, really dislike.  I mean, the first Saw flick is a better MOVIE than Speed Racer.

Yeah, the original saw was an interesting film that worked really well and didn't need a sequel. Unfortunately, it got a whole lot of shitty ones and will probably continue to until the end of time.

I found the second one watchable because of Wahlberg (real talk, better actor than his brother), but I never bothered with the ones past that

i might have seen one other, but i can't remember it
Title: Re: Richard Roeper's 100 Worst Films of the Decade
Post by: fistfulofmetal on December 31, 2009, 07:45:43 PM
The second one is good too. But it's good for different reasons. Saw II started the whole "and watch the crazy way this guy is gonna die!!" concept which ruined the rest of the sequels. The plot wasn't as well put together and the twist at the end was silly. And yeah, Donnie Wahlberg is awesome.

Can you even remember the plot?  I know I can't.  I can't even remember who was in it besides Jude Law and Angelina Jolie.  And the ghost of Laurence Olivier.  As a technical experiment in green/blue screen technology it's okay, and I found the design work aesthetically pleasing, but I couldn't recite you a line of dialogue from that movie if my life depended on it.  Jude Law has all the natural charisma of a celery stalk.  You will not find a bigger fan of the time period and decco design on this board than me, but that movie was a snooze.  I was totally looking forward to it, and left thoroughly disappointed.

I saw Snakes on a Plane opening night and the guy who sat next to me was that guy.  He literally was squealing and constantly saying "it's coming up!" before that line.  When it actually happened, he threw his hands up and started yelling.  That was up there for bad theater experiences with watching Next Friday in a packed theater where my friend and I were the only white people there.

What I've noticed is that black people make good audiences that laugh at the appropriate times in white (Hangover, Knocked Up) comedies and vice versa for white people and black comedies (Undercover Brother, Friday).  I'd probably prefer to watch Coming to America with black people though.  A lot of whities don't find it that funny somehow.

I enjoyed Friday, and Next Friday was a sequel to Friday.

Agreed. Lady in the Water is one of the worst written movies I've ever seen. The Happening...eh I laughed too much while watching so I can't slam it too much.

Is Cat Woman really worse than The Love Guru? The Love Guru is easily the worst movie I've seen this decade.

I also agree, it's a solid film. It has some kiddy elements that are totally grating if you're over the age of 12 (basically anything with Spirtle and Chim-Chim) but the overall package is deceptively mature.

I feel that's why it never found a proper audience. Too kiddy for adults, too adult for kids.

And I don't think you'll find anyone on the forum willing to nominate Speed Racer for Best Picture. It's appreciated by a handful as spectacle entertainment, and that's it - there's no desire to demand respect from the establishment in the form of serious awards consideration.

Yeah, what I love about Speed Racer isn't the "eye candy," it's the way that the visuals are pushed to the limit and beyond for a narrative purpose. It's really psychotic and avant-garde filmmaking and, and u dum

Dude, I've sat through the entire Cremaster Cycle.  I can appreciate "psychotic and avant-garde filmmaking" when I see it... and I guess we saw two different movies.  I will freely admit, however, that I went into the movie prepared to hate it and felt absolutely vindicated when I walked out.

I agree with most of the list.

As for Soul Plane, Roeper probably forgot all about it.  That or he realized the movie didn't take itself too seriously compared to a movie that is called "I Know Who Killed Me."

As for Snakes on a Plane, it was the first sign to me that shit being hyped by the masses on the internet is more likely to be bad than good (this was also proven with Juno and crap music like Owl City and Panic at the Disco).

So did The Parent Trap remake, though I can't confirm whether or not she was a non-naked, one-legged amnesiac stripper. She was only 13 at the time, but considering her current state, I cannot speculate on her past.

How was it racist? A character is racist; that doesn't mean the movie as a whole is racist.
What is this bullshit.  Eastwood's character was never racist, he wasn't very open-minded and he was bitter that his generation/culture was dieing out but he didn't believe other races were inferior.  They highlight this in the end where he confesses his only three sins in life were that he regrets not spending more time with his children, not declaring a boat he sold on his taxes, and kissing a coworker.  After he was a mentor and everything to the asian kid, he still didn't feel any regret over using racial slurs or having to kill a dozen chinese guys in Korea.  Because there was no ill will when he did that.

That asian kid wasn't a very good actor, specifically the scene were he got locked in the basement, but that hardly made the whole movie suddenly bad.  fucking twerd.

you wouldn't understand because you're white.

anyway it was racist because it was gratuitous with its slurs and didn't bother to really explain why they were given. it was just funny for the audience to hear the word "gook" and "zipperhead" all the time. teeheehee

it didn't know whether it was serious or funny, and it ended up not being either. it's in some weird eastwood vacuum, where he thinks awkward little asian boys really behave like they did in the movie. and the "twist" was no twist at all.

am nintendho thinks it was good, further lending credence to my argument.

He said the majority of the racial slurs to somebody's face.  At first, he said it just because he didn't like them but after he got invited to the Hmong's house and was well-liked by the neighborhood, he still used them but just as a joke.  It firmly, completely fucking explained all of that you gayhole.

Twerd was expecting Eastwood to break out into an NBC "The More You Know" commercial.

Slurs may sound funny, zipperhead, but they're no laughing matter. da de duh doooo.

36. “Freddy Got Fingered” (2001)

Should be higher.  A lot higher.

I know some of you distinguished effete fellows around here like this for some reason or another but Freddy Got Fingered is absolutely fucking beyond distinguished mentally-challenged.  Tom Green can suck my balls.  People that like this shit probably also think Dane Cook is funny.


And WTF is up with Funny Games being on that list?  That shit is brilliant.  It's like the Kubrick film he didn't make.

if you can't laugh at a man jacking a horse off screaming I'M A LITTLE FARMER BOY you are dead inside. or the scene where he's watching the horses fuck and the camera does a close up of him eating a cheese sandwich, omg

jesus christ, how soulless are you

LOL at getting butthurt over Gran Torino.  If you're offended, the movie's point went way over your head.  Stick to simple inoffensive shit like Twilight.

How was Gran Torino a racist movie smh

you wouldn't understand because you're white.

anyway it was racist because it was gratuitous with its slurs and didn't bother to really explain why they were given. it was just funny for the audience to hear the word "gook" and "zipperhead" all the time. teeheehee

it didn't know whether it was serious or funny, and it ended up not being either. it's in some weird eastwood vacuum, where he thinks awkward little asian boys really behave like they did in the movie. and the "twist" was no twist at all.

am nintendho thinks it was good, further lending credence to my argument.

Dumb argument. It's racist because a racist character in the film uses racial slurs? You must not have been paying attention because the movie is more about tolerance than slurs. And I loved how Eastwood's character didn't go through some cheesy baptism. In many ways he remains the same, holding similar beliefs, but he becomes more tolerant and understanding of different people.

What PD said. The message of the film is anything but racist.

That kid's acting at the end of Gran Torino when he was trapped in the basement made me hate all Asians.  Luckily all the people that work at Panda Express are Mexicans.

The slurs seriously got awkward after a while though. I also didn't understand how the people in the movie swallowed all of it (:smug) without complaining or beating his ass.
