88 Minutes is a good flick imo. And I enjoy Christmas With The Kranks. Lost Souls grew on me after a second watch.
Basic Instinct 2 was one of the worst things I've ever seen, just wow.

I like Fear Dot Com. It might not have turned out exactly what William Malone had in mind, but there's enough to enjoy for horror enthusiasts.
Lots of reviews were way too harsh, not only on Fear Dot Come, but also on Malone's Parasomnia (2008).

I actually liked Killing Me Softly and 88 Minutes. Most of those other movies I have stayed away from, lol!

I've seen Christmas with the Kranks, Yours Mine & Ours and Cheaper by the Dozen 2, and I had no idea that they were that bad! I saw the latter two in the theater when I was kid and thought they were funny but as I grew older, I eventually realize their problems.

That's a heckuva list of dreck with most of those movies deserving to be ridiculed. I mean, "Ballistic" is just awful, like one long, loud shoot-em up, and that's not even done well. I have to disagree on "88 Minutes." I think that it's Pacino's poorest film. It's cheaply made and looks terrible (they apparently didn't get enough coverage because there are so many master shots), it has scene after scene of Pacino while he shouts into a cell phone, it's preposterous (all these babes keep coming on to Pacino, really?), and it has my vote for worst female performance of the decade in Leelee Sobieski, who rolls her eyes, effects a Snidely Whiplash laugh, and chews a lot of scenery.
I will admit that "Christmas with the Kranks," while poor in comparison to Grisham's book, isn't that terrible--at least compared to Costner's dreadful and insipid "Dragonfly" and the great disaster that is "A Sound of Thunder" with Ed Burns and Sir Ben Kingsley looking at the worst CGI dinosaurs you will ever see.

Hell yes, Pacino is still stunning Posted by The Good Package (Member # 9492) on :
i didnt think all about steve was a terrible movie, thomas haden church had some funny lines in it
i agree crash on christmas with the Kranks, but costner's worst i think would have to be the new daughter
i thought 88 minutes was all right ceartinly not as terrible as some of the others on the list as in the master of disguise
and envy honestly shouldnt be on this list, it is one of the last good ones black and stiller done, walken is really funny in it
surviving christmas was good as well, would have been better if they recasted affleck's part
Posted by The Good Package (Member # 9492) on :
movies like step up, torque and the fast and the furious collection should have made there way to this list as well

Of the movies listed here the only ones that I don't feel belong on the list would be All About Steve and Deck the Halls. I watch Deck the Halls every year at Christmas and actually enjoy it more each time that I see it. All About Steve turned out to be a very touching story even though it was a little kooky. I also don't mind Christmas with the Kranks. The majority of the ones listed there I have not seen but, hey, that is my two cents worth!

17. Twisted (Ashley Judd, Samuel L. Jackson & Andy Garcia) - 2%
I didn't mind this film at all.
19. Half Past Dead (Steven Seagal, Ja Rule & Morris Chestnut) - 2%
One of the better latter-day Seagal flicks.
40. Down to You (Freddie Prinze, Jr. & Julia Stiles) - 4%
So bad its good rom-com, Prinze drinks shampoo to prove his love for Stiles, the audience drinks shampoo to numb the pain. Annoying characters break the forth wall to address the audience, the audience wishes they could break the forth wall to punch them.
73. Gigli (Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez) - 6%
I genuinely don't get the hatred for this film, its not the best movie ever made but no way did it deserve the kind of flack it got. I think it was more of a tabloid media reaction to 'Bennifer' than anything else.
100. Whiteout (Kate Beckinsale) - 7%
Another movie I didn't mind, a tad boring but Beckinsale looks good and even loses a finger to frostbite, what more do you want? An interesting storyline and a better director, apparently.
