"This movie has to be the most mind boggling, horrifyingly appalling movie I have ever had the misfortune of sitting through. This is cinematic brain murder and the only credit I can give it is that it is not easily forgotten. Like a McDonald's Double Big Mac it stays with you, making you nauseous, even after it has been consumed and should have gotten out of your system. There are so many useless/embarrassing scenes/characters in the movie (e.g: Julie White vs Pot Brownies, Humanoid hot chick, Rainn Wilson cameo (why?!), Jetfire, the hyperactive, illiterate, jive talking negrobots (zzzzz...), Autobot Heaven (!!!?!), every scene involving John Turturro, etc) and an endless display of agonizing, loud action scenes that are really very difficult to keep track off. This movie reminds me of 1997's Batman and Robin in that it eclipses what little story there is (although one could argue that in this particular film there is just waaaaaay too much story), foregoes any attempt at the sl ...

"I know this is over and done with but, uh, I don't think Coolio was in Get Over It. The experience viewing that movie was indeed torturous but I do remember Sisqo but Coolio is definitely not in that movie. I do remember him in that embarassing movie Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th. Awful. [quote user="spout"] I have two copies to give away, so I'm going to go ahead and declare the winners: [quote user="williamdouglasb"] The worst modern retelling of a classic should be Whatever it Takes, a teen makeover of Cyrano DeBergerac. It was one of the flood of teen flicks trying to cash in on the success of She's All That (itself a remake of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion). Of course, Roxanne covered Cyrano DeBergerac in many better ways. For one, it understood the hero is suppose to be a loser; teen hunk Shane West played this loser with no fake nose or deformity other than the abilty to play the accordion. Second, the guy he helps is unsympathetic as played by Ja ... " [More]

"[quote user="indieabby88"] [quote user="leeroy711"] Timur Bekmambetov. directed Night Watch, Day Watch and the new Angelina Jolie movie, Wanted. All of which would have to be described as "over the top" [/quote] My goodness, yes. I haven't yet seen "Wanted," but from the clips, it looks like it's gonna be insane. That shot they show in the trailer where the guy busts through a mirrored skyscraper window...classic Bekmambetov. I didn't know at first that he was directing that movie, but once I did, it made so much sense. As long as we're on the subject of "over-the-top," why don't we put "Teeth" on the list? I just watched it. Offensive, ridiculous and comes complete with b-movie production quality. Pretty much the most disgusting movie a person could make. [/quote] Teeth is a good one! Glad you thought of it because I sure forgot. While I generally have a few problems with the film I thought the concept and how far it went was brilliant. I will bring A L'Interieur to the table.

"I have to say that this is a really bad, bad movie BUT I enjoyed it. It was hilarious, unintentionally I'm guessing. Everything from the dialogue to Mark Walhberg's tortured perfomance had me laughing. There are quite a few quotable lines from this movie: "She's going to the town of Princeton" = hilarious! Poor Zooey Deschanel is just drowning in this movie, as well. I have never seen such bad acting from her and it was slightly depressing. The deaths are kind of cool, considering the rest of the story is so silly people killing themselves is the main thing you have to look forward to. I kept wondering: What will he think of next?! It's pretty creative. I'm not going to get into it but there is a scene with two lions that is just ridiculous. It's cool and gratuitous (which is fun) but it's so awkwardly presented (seemingly tacked on only to assure an R rating) that I just had to laugh. People running away from the wind does not inspire dread but confused glances and giggles. Almost ... " [More]

"I purposely left it broad so any kind of film could be included. So, over the top violence, over the top sex, over the top dialogue, over the top acting...whatever the person deems it, it is so. [quote user="pippin06"] How are we defining "completely over the top nuts?" Maybe I haven't seen enough movies that qualify, but the first poster has some varied movies on the list, and I'm a little confused. [/quote] " [More]

"I saw it today and it's one of the funniest movies I've seen in awhile. The acting and reactions of the characters are just so silly that you have to laugh. I think it had the potential to be creepy but unfortunately it was executed very badly. A good bad film, though. [quote user="divinemsjunebug"] I haven't seen it yet so please NO SPOILERS if you've seen it... From the Trailer it looks REALLY interesting and very creepy. Has anyone seen a pre-viewing of it and is it worth seeing at the Theater or is it a DVD rental... Just from the scenes of people falling or stepping off the buiding and the man who lays down in front of the mower and the creepy looking skeleton face woman who looked into the window, very cool images, just gave me the creeps BIG TIME. But it's like we have known time after time sometimes the Trailer is better than the movie... [/quote] " [More]

"Ever since I saw Arachnophobia as a kid I have not been able to deal with bugs of any sort, especially spiders. That movie had me sleeping in my parent's bedroom for many nights. To this day I get completely scared silly when a big bug scurries around me. I watched the movie a couple of years ago and while I was able to laugh a lot of it off I still shuddered when large amounts of spiders come on screen. I think I am the only person who gets creeped out by 8 Legged Freaks and I squirmed through some of the scenes (giant flies, yargh!) in the recent The Mist. That last story in Creepshow? Forget about it! " [More]
