The Five Worst Movies of 2008

As we close out another year, you'll see lots of lists, top five this and that. So it's time for the Five Worst Movie list of 2008.

There are many not on this official list that have certainly earned a slot, and some of them will be honorably mentioned here, but there's only room for 5 so here we go. Starting with the worst.

The Worst Movies Of 2008

1/ Semi Pro - Will Farrell for some reason thought that making a movie about the American
Basketball Association (ABA) would be fun. The dialogue is offensive from start
to finish. This movie is targeted at young adults, who by and large don't even
know the ABA even existed, and all the jokes from 1975 fall on deaf ears. This
movie is so bad and off track, completely pointless, not funny, offensive, awful!

2/ Blindness - Julianne Moore stars in a movie about a world gone blind. Except her for
some reason. Why? We have no idea. Why did everyone go blind? We have no
idea. Depressing, awful, terrible subject matter, this movie goes many times too
where it doesn't belong. Harsh, offensive to real blind people. Big money wasted.

3/ The Happening - M. Night Shyamalan again with a movie that is supposed to be scary but
wasn't. People dropping dead all over the world, why? We don't know, had
something to do with the wind. Harsh ending too. Mark Wahlberg stars
in a complete mess.

4/ My Best Friends Girl - Dane Cook stars in this train wreck. About a guy who treats women
horribly for profit? Don't get me started. Question. How many awful words can
you squeeze into a single movie for no good reason other than you can? For some
reason Kate Hudson went along for this ride, Jason Biggs too. No one on earth
should pay to see this disaster.

5/ The Love Guru - Mike Meyers again. Still thinks he's 23. He's not. Same jokes, same feel
as every other Myers flick. Some of those were pretty funny too. Not here. Old,
tired, juvenile. Grow up Mike! We all have!

Honorable Mentions:

1/ Zach And Miri Make A Porno - Worst attempt at "romantic comedy" in years.
2/ The Day The Earth Stood Still - ZZZZ!
3/ Speedracer - Best part? The end. Japanese words to tihe Speedracer theme.

I'll get out the Five Best Movie List of 2008, right after first of the year! See you at the movies!
