Five Worst Movies of 2014

It's that time of the year. Time for the end of the year lists, and today we start with the Five Worst Movies of 2014.  

I saw about 150 movies this year and like most years, there are far more bad movies than good ones. To be on this list, movies had to be released to local theaters in the calender year.  So let's see which ones were they worst.

I will link you back to my original review from the theater run, so you can read all about it, if you are considering renting or pay-per-view. 

Five Worst Movies of 2014

1/  The Best Of Me -  Absolutely putrid Nicholas Sparks story in a movie that can only be described
                                   as agonizing to watch. Every single thing about this stinks. Same of crap year
                                   after year from this camp.  I would have to be paid handsomely to sit through
                                   this again.  Dry-heaveable in every regard.

2/  Left Behind -  The only reason this was not the runaway worst movie of the year, is because of the
                             gift from Nicholas Sparks above.  This is far more about the actual movie making
                             than the story.  This looks like it was filmed in someones basement. Horrible. What
                             has happened to Nicolas Cage?  Could this be worse?  I don't think so.


3/  Let's Be Cops - This buddy comedy is about as bad as one of these can get. And aren't comedies
                               supposed to be funny?  Thought so.  Horrendous, offensive, and just a bad, bad
                               idea in ever regard.

4/  I, Frankenstein - Back to January for this gem.  This had finally cleared my memory banks, until
                                I looked back over my notes and found this was drilled as hard by me as any.
                                Silly waste of time. 

5/  Tammy - Melissa McCarthy movies have made my worst list three years in a row now.  Tammy is
                     just her again playing the same character, and not being funny yet again.  She is so much
                     better than these summer comedies.

Honorable Mentions

Lucy - Scarlett Johansson as a woman that somehow can use all of her brain power to dominate the
            world.  Too bad she couldn't use it to make a better movie than this piece of junk.

Ouija -  Still sad that I wasted two hours on a 75 degree day to see this.  I could have played golf.
             simply awful

The Purge:Anarchy - The original Purge was pretty good and thought provoking a year of two ago.
                                   This is not.  This stinks

There they are they worst movies of 2014.  In the next few days I will post the Most Surprising Movies Of 2014, The Most Disappointing, and finally the Five Best Movies Of 2014, so check back to see the picks.
