  1. Don't Say a Word
    The movie isn't exactly providing entertaining escape. In fact, the only escape on your mind is going to be the exit door.
  2. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    It's not brazenly bad or heroically bad or stridently bad. It's bad in all the old, dull ways of being bad: poor performances, absurd story, dreary special effects, witless dialogue and the excessive length of someone taking himself far too seriously.
  3. Sweet November
    Shamelessly manipulative in a crude, bullying way.
  4. Backdraft
    A noisy, impenetrable and totally nonsensical cogitation on the nature of firefighters and the sizzling "animal" they love...We just wish somebody would call 911 for boredom.
  5. Never Again
    A meet-cute whimsy set among divorced fifty-somethings in New York, it blunders on toward oblivion, excruciatingly unfunny and pitifully unromantic.
  6. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
    It is the perfect modern product: loud, banal, empty, frenzied, plasticized, flavorless, drab, violent in a bloodless way and sexy in a sexless way.
  7. Slackers
    How bad is it? Let me count just some of the ways.
  8. Drowning Mona
    I watched Mona. I felt like drowning.
  9. 8MM
    In the uncertain zone between dumb and truly twisted lies 8MM, a movie that will baffle and disgust you in one disconcerting experience.
  10. Runaway Bride
    [Gere] seemed to be improvising his way from beginning to end, like he was disgusted with the actual script.
  11. Deep Impact
    For a suspense drama, Impact is a slack, oddly enervated and mawkish soup of largely lethargic performances.
  12. Corky Romano
    It's depressing enough to sit through an unfunny comedy, but it's worse to watch Falk, Penn and Berg having to earn a living like this.
  13. The Whole Ten Yards
    Leaden, laugh-free, lacking anything resembling a heart, mind or soul.
  14. 2001: A Space Odyssey
    A crackpot Looney Tune, pretentious, abysmally slow, amateurishly acted and, above all, wrong.
  15. Scooby-Doo
    The gratuitous vulgarity is just one more reason that Scooby-Doo should never have left the pound.
  16. Sexy Beast
    In the end, I'm wondering what's so special about a film that has but one guilty pleasure and that's Ben Kingsley spraying saliva-lubricated variants of the F-word into the atmosphere like anti-aircraft fire for 10 solid minutes.
  17. Beverly Hills Ninja
    Chris Farley walks into walls, trips over invisible banana peels and otherwise makes a fat ass of himself in this imbecilic, slapstick adventure from the producers of "Dumb and Dumber."
  18. The Avengers
    In this movie, the sense of charm has been obliterated.
  19. Godsend
    Not just a bad thriller but also a thing of pain.
  20. Equilibrium
    Equilibrium is like a remake of "1984" by someone who's seen "The Matrix" 25 times while eating Twinkies and doing methamphetamines.
  21. Pokémon: The Movie 2000
    Avoid this movie unless a) your child has refused to eat until you take him or her, or b) your house is being fumigated to kill an infestation of mosquitoes with the West Nile virus.
  22. The Godfather: Part III
    The Godfather Part III isn't just a disappointment, it's a failure of heartbreaking proportions... It makes you wish it had never been made.
  23. Van Wilder
    The movie is really just an elaborate excuse to show repeated close-ups of an elephantine dog scrotum.
  24. Dumb and Dumber
    An abominable, abdominal comedy. Aside from its tastelessness and dawdling pace, the movie’s chief problem is the lackluster chemistry between leading lummoxes Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels.
  25. Me, Myself & Irene
    If you choose to see this puerile tripe, check your dignity at the door.
  26. Hollow Man
    Definitely stuck in the fourth grade.
  27. Digimon: Digital Monsters
    So twitchy, fidgety, skittery and wiggly that the drug it made me yearn for was Dramamine, followed by a chaser of bourbon, 12 years old.
  28. Kangaroo Jack
    There are two distinctive features to the movie: the mind-numbingly banal plot as one chases another who chases another, and all the offensive material.
  29. Girls Will Be Girls
    There's a thin line between some drag comedy and misogyny, and Girls Will Be Girls, a crass comedy in which all the women are played, with over-the-top abandon, by men, roars past that line.
  30. FeardotCom
    A depraved, incoherent, instantly disposable piece of hackery.
