  1. Mojave
    Isaac pulls a full Tom Hardy by adopting a weirdo voice, awkward mannerisms and unknown motivations in a bid to give life to a villain who is, in his own words, pure “motiveless malignancy.” It doesn’t work, nor does anything else in this so-bad-it’s-good-no-wait-still-bad mess from William Monahan.
  2. Georgia Rule
    Director Marshall ( Pretty Woman) has created a comic drama so confused in tone, the actors often seem to be acting in different movies.
  3. The Toy
    The plot makes the casting look inspired. More than inane, it's offensive. [14 Dec 1982]

  4. Alone in the Dark
    Just as the book is usually better than the film, one suspects the video game is probably more entertaining and coherent than the movie. In the case of Alone in the Dark, this is a certainty.
  5. Lucky Day
    One of the worst movies of the year.
  6. Dead Man on Campus
    The product of a first-time director and writers who have no sense of scene structure or shape, or even a discernible sense of humour.
  7. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
    A two- hour-plus surrealistic bummer - it makes the audience feel as if it is coming down from a virulent drug. (The pacing, the images, the music and the endemic menace recall clinical descriptions of cocaine-induced paranoia.)...A disgusting, misanthropic movie.

    Employee of the Month
    How bad does a film have to be to get the death doughnut? Disgracefully bad.
  9. Never Again
    Rarely does a film so graceless and devoid of merit as this one come along.
  10. Extraction
    Lutz and fellow operative Carano are as warm and responsive as Ping-Pong paddles, batting lines back and forth lifelessly.
  11. The Avengers
    The incomprehensible leads to the inexplicable which ends in the indecipherable.

    Knock Off
    The plot is as incomprehensible as the dubbing and many of the special effects are neither special nor effective.
  13. Wild Hogs
    A 0-star Comedy that is nonetheless guaranteed to rake in multimillions.
  14. Daddy Day Camp
    About as much fun as being given a wedgie and hung from the camp flagpole, Daddy Day Camp is an unnecessary sequel.
  15. A Haunted House 2
    A Haunted House 2 is so dreadful that it demands its own category of dumbness.
  16. The Art of Racing in the Rain
    For most of the feeble, unmoving 109 minutes of The Art of Racing in the Rain, a Kevin Costner-voiced golden retriever named Enzo longs for death. I felt the same way.

    Thunderbirds
    Simply put, this is a bad, bad film, this summer's answer to last summer's "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman." A dog for the dog days of summer.
  18. Hellboy
    Hellboy forces audiences to detach and glaze over because it is hateful and lazy and was made by awful filmmakers who probably don’t like movies very much. For anyone who manages to see this movie in the theatre – I’ll see you in hell.
  19. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
    Despite an inspired central section involving Robin Williams as the King of the Moon and Valentina Cortese as his Queen, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is a near-disaster of Ishtarish proportions. [11 Mar 1989, p.C3]

  20. Date Movie
    Date Movie is a good date movie in one sense: If you're still speaking to the person who brought you to see this, you just might have a future together.
  21. Senseless
    Just how dumb is Senseless? So dumb it even takes the fun out of stupid.
  22. Passengers
    What's worse than the actual movie itself, though, is how indicative it is of modern group-think studio production.
  23. Batman & Robin
    Campy costumes can't disguise the incoherent plot, confused performances and lame script that send this star vehicle spiralling downward.
  24. War Room
    The faith-based War Room is so named because life is a battle to be strategized, with, in the case of God’s infomercial of a film, a large bedroom closet serving as scripture-plastered command centre.
  25. Independence Day: Resurgence
    One of the most aggressively stupid blockbusters ever made, a painful exercise in Hollywood greed and artistic incompetence on every level.
  26. The Amityville Horror
    A sustained if wildly uncoordinated assault on our senses, complementing those feverish jump cuts with a cliché of equally stunning proportions
  27. Species II
    Brain-melting, head-spinning rank toxicity that shows no evidence of intelligence as we know it.
  28. The Hangover Part III
    Not just bad, but weirdly, fascinatingly bad.
  29. The Greatest Showman
    It's an empty, moronic, pandering and utterly forgettable, low-rent "Moulin Rouge" that pays curious tribute to Barnum by similarly hailing its audience as slack-jawed rubes, slobbering for whatever passes as entertainment. It's godawful.
  30. Raising Cain
    The sadly unable De Palma hasn't raised Cain, he's been buried by him. [08 Aug 1992]
