The Worst movies I have seen this past year.
Pirates Of The Caribbean At World's EndBlade Runner (ya a lot of people love this movie i hated it). Helvetica (one of the most boring documentaries I have ever watched) How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (well I kind of expected this movie to suck) 2001: A Space Odyssey (am i the only one who doesn't like Kubrick? I feel like everyone loves this movie, and I just don't understand why) Alexander (this movie just sucks) Blood and Chocolate (well I also kind of predicted that this movie would suck) The Profit Dirty Harry Kung Fu Hustle A Clockwork Orange The condemned I am guessing many people will disagree with me on some of these.

I am with you on "2001: A Space Odyssey," I like Kubrick but this move is so hard to get through. I sat down expecting a classic and I found myself kicking myself to stay awake. Maybe my expectations messed up the movie- but for some reason I just hated this film.

Yeah out of all of those I have seen (Blade Runner, Helvetica, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dirty Harry, Kung Fu Hustle, and A Clockwork Orange) I liked all of them. Makes me think I should watch all of the movies you dislike!

Yes you and most movie critics. One movie I am confidant no one will disagreeon with me is The Condemned which was a worthless pile of crap.

I am guessing many people will disagree with me on some of these.
You said it, esp. with Clockwork Orange. I could not STAND that piece of shit they call a "film." What's the appeal? It's idiotic. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. I watched like 20 minutes of it before I kept fast-fowarding, trying to find a really good part, and then I just got frustrated and sent it back to Netflix. It seems to me the people who act like Clockwork Orange or Requiem are "classics" are morons or sheep or both, just trying to fit in and sound smart.
But I don't know why you said Dirty Harry. That was a pretty sweet movie. Vigilante justice kicks ass! I'd like to kill all the guilty inmates on death row and get it over with, instead of endless appeals and all that bullshit. Even if action isn't your thing, how can you say Dirty Harry is "one of the worst" you've seen?
I had absolutely no desire to see The Condemned. None of the WWE films appeal to me. See No Evil looked stupid, too. It'd at least be a REAL horror film if they made it when Kane still wore his mask. Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia sounds absolutely fucking horrible. Who the **** would watch such a shitty movie?? Why Colombia? I don't give a **** about the goddamn FARC. **** em and **** Colombia! I'm totally against the DEA's Plan Colombia nonsense. And what did Mr. Kennedy, one of the worst wrestlers of all time, do to deserve his own movie? I thought WWE Films only gives movies to big wrestling stars in the co. Or at least they should.
2001: A Space Oddysey just sounds ridiculous. I've no desire to see it anytime soon. Stanley Kubrick is kind of a hit-and-miss director. Some of his movies, like Dr. Strangelove and Fullmetal Jacket, are ok, but others like Clockwork Orange are a bunch of bullshit. Plus, Kubrick's films just don't take things seriously enough for me, oftentimes. He treats filmmaking as one big joke. I'm glad the fucker's dead. I mean, why is the year 2001 in the title of his movie, esp. since he made it like in the 80s, didn't he? Was he expecting 2001 to be a GREAT year for space exploration?

Wow, you've got a lot of anger in ya!
I would be interested in discussing A Clockwork Orange with you, but it's not really fair to judge a movie that you have only seen 20 minutes of. ESPECIALLY A Clockwork Orange!!! There really is a reason for what you see at the beginning. I have seen plenty of movies that I didn't like for most of it until the very end. Sometimes you have to sit through a lot of crap to get to the great stuff at the end, and then you find out that the stuff wasn't crap. Because when you view it through the context of the whole film, it was essential.
For instance, last night I just saw Bad Lieutenant. I liked the movie pretty well, but after a while felt like it was getting a little tedious. Then the movie took a direction that I totally didn't expect and I reevaluated what I just had seen in a totally new light.
A good film is a complete work from beginning to end and cannot just be watched in parts, thus I would never stop a move in the middle or judge it until I had watched it in it's entirety.
