Re: Worst movie of 2007

Don't do that to yourself, John. I'm sure you have to watch a lot of horrible movies for reviewing purposes. If you don't have to review this one, consider yourself off the hook, and move on.

Yeah, Transformers should be nowhere near this list. The CGI alone is some of the best I've ever seen and makes the Star Wars stuff look like crap on a stick with a hair on it.

John, The Heartbreak Kids was hillarious. Or at least I thought it was...

"I Know Who Killed Me." Now, I've got to wait for this one to appear on cable and watch it, just to see how bad it really is.

Now that's something very interesting I find about films. When they get horrid ratings, I'm more curious to see them just to see why they're so horrid. In some very rare occurances, I might actually end up enjoying them. Take "Ultraviolet" for example -- I loved it! Yeah, I know it was cornball, cheesy and almost pointless, but I believed it was intended to be that way. To me it was at least an honest film because they had you believe it was based off a fictional comic book, therefore I was able to accept the coney feel of it and just enjoy the ride. Besides, it has some of the coolest gagets since 007 movies. I mean, come on, the anti-gravity belt, that was freaking awesome! The way she could instantly change her hair color and the disposable cell-phone -- that was pure and simple fun! Plus a chick that can kick major ass gets me all excited!

Then you should love Starbuck from Galactica (TV series)!

Tim, I liked ULTRAVIOLET too - it was much better than say, AEON FLUX (similar type of film). UV has lots of great action scenes, visuals, slick photography, and some great sound. Both the Unrated DVD and the Theatrical Cut Blu-ray are recommended to anyone.

Although I agree, I don't think CGI can by itself save a truly terrible movie. Transformers was great for what it was: a fun, entertaining popcorn flick - not a great movie by any means, but certainly not anywhere near gawd-awful. I found it more entertaining than Spidy 3, which I found just got too darn tedious without much substance at all. But even then, Spidy 3 is no where near the same category as films (and I use the term "film" loosely here) than "I know who killed me".

I think John should watch "I know who killed me", if anything to help understand the point I was attempting to make with what separates great movies from the outright terrible. How Hollywood could let this pass is beyond my comprehension. Nearly every sentence spoken in this movie was beyond a "warn cliche". My 12 year old son could have written a better screenplay.

Very cool! Of all the Hi-def films I'd like to see in Blu, Ultraviolet is one of them. I think I would compare Ultraviolet to a film Christian Bale did called "Equalibrium". That film also dealt with a dark future but something that held a little more thought for discussion than just mindless action. Nevertheless, I enjoyed both films equaly.

Yeah Tim, Equilibrium was awesome. I thought the ending was pretty wicked for a low-budget sci-fi movie.

I hear ya!

I actually own this one on ... err forget which high-def format. I do own Aeon Flux on HD DVD too. Aeon Flux's transfer is first rate - pure eye-candy from start to finish, and not that bad of a simple popcorn flick if you can leave your mind behind, and be careful not to think about anything. Then there's the original Resident Evil, another lady that kicks major ass. They just had to give Milla Jovovich that costume or I would have only given it 1 star out of 10!
