Jeff Vice, the local (Deseret News) movie and TV critic, today published his list of the nearly two dozen 2008 films that he “genuinely loathed.” I personally like these Best/Worst lists because it usually saves me time and money in the long run. Here are Jeff’s picks for bad flicks:
1. The Happening
2. The Spirit
3. Meet Dave
4. Everybody Wants to Be Italian
5. The Love Guru
6. Four Christmases
7. Delgo
8 and 9. (a tie) Hancock, Seven Pounds
10. Sex and the City
There were so many other bad movies that Jeff listed “The Rest of the Worst” as follows: An American Carol; The Day the Earth Stood Still; How to Lose Friends and Alienate People; Miracle at St. Anna; The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor; Punisher: War Zone; Speed Racer; Star Wars: The Clone Wars; What Happens in Vegas; X-Files: I Want to Believe.
I watched two of these turkeys: Hancock and X-Files. I also would nominate “Mama Mia” to be added to this list.
Sad to say, we are the duped owners of two movies from the above lists. Hancock and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, as well as Mama Mia. (Sigh) I was persuaded to go along with the purchase of Mama Mia before I had a chance to research it first. My Bad—as they say. I keep issuing moratoriums on buying DVDs . . . unsuccessfully obviously. (But, “tomorrow is another day!”)
New Year's Resolution number three . . . .

I liked Hancock. Never saw the new Mummy movie. You can play the Mama-Mia movie at my funeral.
Hancock sucked. It was STUPID. I remember sitting there thinking "When is this EVER going to END!?" I heard the mummy movie was dumb, but that is what happens when you change actresses (Except with Batman. I liked the new Rachel. The old Rachel was retarded.) My mother-in-law said Mama-Mia was cute, but I haven't seen it yet, so who knows? Potentially a aweful I suppose...Here is another one to add to your list: "The Christmas Card." Eych..need I say more?
The "a" was an accident. I am not illiterate. :D I am smrt. Relly.
And I can never remember how to spell awful. So sue me. :P
phsesse: The Dara spelling of phases

I have a very forgiving imagination. And now back to the Outre Limits.
