In contrast to my previous post, here are ten films from last year that were not very good…In fact, some of them downright SUCKED!

Now I didn’t populate this list with the obvious cinematic crap that was inflicted upon unsuspecting audiences last year. I didn’t need to sit through Disaster Movie, The Hottie and the Nottie, or The Love Guru to be able to tell you that you would have a better time having the veins slowly pulled out of your legs with tweezers than sitting through such cinematic abortions. The goddamn trailers were enough!

No, these are films from filmmakers and/or actors who usually are reliable fare - in other words, they should have known better. Some have moved way beyond their prime (Woody Allen with the dreadfully dull and shallow Vicky Christina Barcelona), others get their shot at the big time only to blow it (David Gordon Green, director of Pineapple Express), and some started out great only to get worse and worse with each new film (The Wachowski Brothers with Speed Racer).

Let’s hope things turn around for the listed ten, before it’s too late.
