This could be one of the best, or at least one of the best worst, series of blog posts for 2006. As Dave Barry didn’t quite say, movie badness is an issue Americans care deeply about. Pete Von Der Haar, call your office.
Since I’ll take any excuse to link back to my own personal Worst 10 list, I’ll just say that I feel a jolt of pride at seeing Wing Commander in this first group. I’ve gotten more mileage from slagging that movie than I ever thought possible when I saw it in the theater. Who knew it would be that memorable, at least in some sense?
The worst film in the past year has to be “The Family Stone”. You’ve got Diane Keaton, Craig T. Nelson, Dylon McDermmott, Luke Wilson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel McAdams, Claire Danes and every conceivable cliche ever.
All I know is that Spice World and Krull better be on that list.
a/ What about Zados? So gloriously bad it is a classic.
b/ Does anyone recall a Bermuda Triangle film where retribution comes floating over the waves in the form of a Victorian wax doll? I have been trying to track this film down for years.
