(
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0488539/) Farce of the Penguins... what a horrible, horrible movie. If you truly dislike someone, and want to make them miserable for an hour and a half, then recommend this movie. I don't know how it missed being in the (
http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom) imdb's bottom 100 , but it was a truly awful movie. I only watched a little over half of it, then shut it off and watched a history channel documentary on
cheese. It was more interesting and entertaining than that...
alleged movie.

"Lady In The Water", just awful, it was a real pain to watch.
BTW, Starship Troopers rocked, i must have seen it like 8-10 times, one of the best sci-fi films ever for sure. I even liked it better than the book, which is very unusual. Superb casting, i like how every character looks like its been taken out of a comic book or just like some stupid plastic doll, very funny and fits this satire perfectly. The action/violence is a pleasure to watch as well. Much thought has been put into this movie, but some are just too stupid to see, or appreciate it..

You should have quit while you were ahead with the first nomination, bud.
Starship Troopers is epitome of thought NOT being applied to a movie.
"They outnumber us a hundred to one and it takes six of us 300 rounds each to kill one of them! Lets fly across the galaxy with just raw infantry recruits and barely any artillery, air support or recon. Then have them walk through trackless enemy territory facing completely unknown threats... etc etc."
I almost forgot - "Keep those troop ships in tight formation so the enemy artillery can score multiple hits with only one shot."
Poor Robert Heinlein must have been spinning in his grave to see such tactical and strategic errors and waste of soldiers lives - and in his name no less.
The bugs were cool though.

In my personal opinion: Dude, Where's My Car? It tried to be funny, it was not. :bored:
Then again, this is coming from someone who prefers Batman & Robin over Batman Begins, so I guess my "opinion" doesn't mean squat to you people! :p :cheeky:

If he thinks it's shite, then it doesn't matter whether he's in the minority or not. And an opinion cannot be wrong, especially since the Matrix Reloaded was one of, if not the, shoddiest sequels ever.
I thought Ultraviolet was alright. Terrible in comparison to the director's earlier work (Equilibrium), but the action made up for the shoddy acting from the main character and the poor editing by the studio.

In movies, sometimes you have to sacrifice realism for something else, in this case i love the feelings of doom and terror this tactical "error" created, it worked really well i think. There is ofcourse, much thought behind a descision like this too. Sometimes it works (if the viewer gets so immersed that he forgets/forgives the error) and sometimes not (if the viewer is watching and is just beeing very critical). Realism sacrifised for immersion, i dont mind it _at all_, not if it's an action flick which is made to ENTERTAIN.
I never watch action movies as if they were documentaries about tactical fighting, it would have left me disapointed 99.9% of the time.

Au contraire. This argument has been done to death a million times, but for folks who weren't around for that..
Every apparent mistake the humans make has been made by some army/commander or other at some time. Often quite recently, and by people who seem quite reasonable and intelligent and in hindsight we wonder how they could have made such errors.
The absurd hubris of humanity in that movie is kinda the joke, yasee.

K+ Muzman... you had an even better point there.

Movies like
Plan 9 don't have any right appearing here. I like B-Movies. My all time bottom three of
really bad movies:
3. (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150377/) Double Jeopardy
Just wrong. The idea could have made for a good movie, the execution is so terrible that even authors of fanfiction.com would blush.
2. (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0186151/) Frequency
Not a movie, more like a prion that will perforate your brain with its plot holes.
1. (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120834/) Snow falling on cedars
Well.. at least the title gives you an idea of how interesting it is to watch this movie.
