1. "10,000 B.C." Very boring movie. Dull characters, uninspired quest. Suprisigly few cool dinosaur stuff.

2. "Fool's Gold" was pretty bad, despite a GREAT romantic pairing which worked in a previous hit, "How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days.

3. "Quantum of Solace" SUCKED. Totally lost the mommentum of the previous James Bond movie which was palatable.

4. "The Love Guru" At one point in the movie Mike Myers rides in on a male elephant and it mounts a female elephant in the middle of a playoff hockey game and embarks something that should be done in private -- at least with a "Do Not Disturb" sign hung from the outside door... The show IS funny in spots, but THAT display of VERY POOR TASTE is hard to overlook.

Thanks for the link! My first name is Christian -- but my brother and dad are named James, so you only missed by that much, to quote a certain CONTROL agent ...

Zohan is lucky The Happening came out in the same year, saving it from being the very worst film of 2008. Too bad, I like Sandler generally. Also terrible, that Marianne Faithful film where she played a lady who gives hand jobs. Wow. Terrible. Hmm. Might have actually tied The Happening for super suckitude. On the other hand, hidden gem I recommend: The King of Kong. (Think that's what it was called). Wonderful and weird.

10,000 BC was such an abomination and yet, I must confess, I was never bored. It was stunning to watch such ineptitude play out. Call it the "Plan 9 from Outer Space" effect.

Really, for me, the movie that was most soul shattering was Indy and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Not the worst movie of the year, certainly, but such a painful letdown. There was a funereal atmosphere at the midnight screening I attended.

Oh, and just to show how truly out of touch I can be at times, "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" made me laugh a whole lot. I can't explain it. I'm most embarassed.

I watch entirely way too many movies and these were the probably the worst of the worst. Mostly because of the potential all these had and how badly they failed at realizing that potential

Righteous Kill is flat out terrible. There's a twist in this film, that suffers from such massive plot contradictions that you'd think it was written by a 9-11 denier. But apparently that doesn't matter when you have Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in a movie.

The Happening is a movie about killer plants and trust me writing this sentence was almost as ridiculous as watching that film. Plants all over the world have communicated with each other and made a killer virus that makes people kill themselves. I swear to you that's the plot. Killer plants are pissed about you driving your car to much.

Cloverfield - This film filled me with more questions then answers. Why were the white people getting supplies and all the black people looting? How does the Military get into the New York so quickly? Why are they shooting at 80-story monster with small arms? I'm pretty sure firing your grandfather's six shooter at Godzilla isn't going to do anything. You might as well throw a cupcake at him, or pee on his foot.

On the bright side I think everyone should watch bad movies because they at least teach you what not to do.

I just saw "The Spirit" -- easily the balls-on mess of a script that only Frank Miller can do -- I'm sure it'll make a few worst list in 08.

Jeff nailed it.

That any A-list writers were involved in Indy 4 simply boggles the mind. Contrary to fanboy reactions, Darabont's Indy draft was NOT great -- it just felt that way after seeing what Koepp did with the story. It has some better set pieces, but Darabont seemed hell bent on cramming in as many insider Spielberg/Lucas jokes as he could shovel.

To identify a movie's key problem, you look at the Climax. This is where all the threads weave together and supposedly pay off. We finally get to the punchline. With Indy 4, nobody put it better than Mystery Man: (summarizing) How can there be tension when the Hero and the Villain WANT THE SAME THING?? Where is unity of opposites?

So for me, Indy is definitely the biggest disappointment of the year. Not Phantom Menace "raped in the face" bad, but not far off. Spielberg wasn't the problem. Koepp wasn't the problem. We all know who's the 500-pound gorilla in the room.
