I figured we all have opinions of the BEST and WORST movies of the year.

Like I didn't watch anything "Twilight" because I don't like the books.

Also, I didn't watch "Catching Fire" because I thought "The Hunger Games" was war-porn with children killing children.

But what about "CATWOMAN" -- Like whoever told Halle Berry that she could do that movie after "Monster's Ball?"

Or "THE SMURFS" One and Two -- like the first one was successful.

Or the begging and whining rebel at the end of BATTLEFIELD EARTH. A truly gag-me-with-the-giant-penis-of-John-Travolta-movie.

Or the "rape" scene at the end of Kevin Costner's ROBIN HOOD which nearly got me thrown out of the theater for snide remarks.

Howard the Duck

I will never, ever get over The Last Airbender.

I also despise the JJ Abrams Star Trek films.

Now, if you want what is probably the worst subtitled movie ever made, look up Last Eunuch in China.

All three of the new remakes of BATMAN with Christian Bale are failures that I've had to sit through in the theaters.

Christian Bale is over-rated.

And to add a note - -

I wanted Vince Vaughan's remake of Hitchcock's PSYCHO (the version in color) to be good but at every scene I saw flaws in the color version and missteps and inferiority due to lack of attention. So the remake goes on the heap of UGLY-ASSED MOVIES

Now some fool wants to remake THE BIRDS and that's doomed from the start.

Does anyone remember the true plot of THE BIRDS -- it's a boy meets girl, boy dates girl, they visit relatives type love story starring Tippi Hedron and Rod Taylor. That rather typical romance is interrupted by the attacks of various birds and flocks of birds. In the end, we never find out why and that is the final horror. What is there to remake? Large sections of exposition about why the birds attack? Crap would that be a bore.

DANCES WITH WOLVES. . .

Although I found in entertaining, I thought it was stupid and preachy and too slick and glossy for a movie about history.

How do you define failure here? All three movies did huge box office and were hits with moviegoers and made lots of money...or do you consider them failures because you didn't like them? Why would you got to all three in the theater if you didn't like the first one?

I offered to take a kid to a movie and the kid picked Batman… That's why.

And as for what I consider failure -- well it's all opinion.

It's not like political opinion where I am always right and correct and my opinion is the only one that counts.

It's movie opinions which are deathly and sometimes hilariously opinionated snark and nobody has to agree with me. Or I with anyone else.
