"I can listen to Kurt Cobain talk all day. This movie would have worked better as a audio book. Just slapping some images of Aberdeen and Seattle over Kurt's voice a movie does not make. " [More]

"Man, when I saw this trailer earlier this year, I was hoping it was going to be the best movie ever made. It looked like so much fun. Instead, it felt badly edited (was it made for TV??? it sure seems like in some places) and more of a Douglas Sirk tribute than a actual western. Weak. " [More]

"Is it me, or does Gosling just pretend he's playing Donnie Darko with Jena Malone??? It's practically Gyllenhall's performance. Solid acting by the rest in this typical indie movie. Whatever. " [More]

"I couldn’t make the list til I saw Into The Wild. I’m glad I waited.The movies from 2007 that have absolutely no redeeming value.46. BLADES OF GLORY - Wil Ferrell, Will Arnet, Amy Poehler and the lovely Jenna FIscher. WHAT THE FUCK WENT WRONG?45. GHOST RIDER - The character looked cool. Wes Bentley did not. MSJ, step away from the PREACHER slowly with your hands up!44. I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE - Chris Rock is probably the funniest man on the planet. Tell someone else to write his movies (and not Louis C.K.).43. SMOKIN’ ACES - Let’s face it, NARC was a fluke.42. THE EX - Shudder. Would be up next to Blades Of Glory other than the fact that stars Jason Bateman and Zach Braff.The rest. No matter how far down the list they are, I will be able to revisit every single one of these movies and enjoy at least one aspect of them.41. CATCH AND RELEASE - Nothing offensive here other than a formulaic script.40. RENO 911: MIAMI - Never watched the show, but went because ... " [More]
