Cabin Fever was disappointing? Some relatively unknown director's first movie...generally well-received for a horror debut. Hostel I can understand. House of 1000 Corpses makes some sense considering it was in limbo for so long and was supposed to be this shock extravaganza.

I'm not sure why Me, Myself and Irene is on the list. I certainly wasn't looking forward to it. Then again, maybe I'm biased because I hated There's Something About Mary, and thus wasn't expecting something from the Farrelly Brothers to be good at that point.

I read some of the reviews and he defends himself well. I found his comments on World Trade Center and Wag the Dog to be especially perceptive. I can't really disagree with any of the films he lists that I have seen and I give him credit for not always going after much-maligned films with well-worn "KICK ME" signs on their backs (although he does go after a few).

Yeah, I loved Cabin Fever. I don't recall that ultra low-budget film from a then no-name Eli Roth as being hyped as the next great thing.
Where the hell is Godzilla? That was mega-hyped in 1998 and had the potential to be a kick-ass action/adventure, but it completely fell apart. And further proved that Roland Emmerich is a no-talent hack.

Go figure, perhaps because it was directed by John Frankenheimer.

They could pretty much put every sequel ever made up there. The Godfather Part 3, Temple of Doom, every sequel that never lived up to its predecesser(sp?)
I don't agree with Blade Trinity I thought it was better than the 2nd. I also don't agree with Full Frontal. I enjoyed it.

While Blade Trinity had a tad more interesting plot idea, it was easily the most poorly made movie I've ever seen in theaters.

get out of here, no film featuring the battle between Selma "Doesn't strip enough" Hayek and A giant Shit Monster can be too heavy handed...

I am a HUGE fan of Hook and I love easily 5 more of these flicks.
CHUD has always caused me great brain aches and made me feel like a jerk for liking mindless fun stuff (ask me to defend X3 and you will never hear the end of it) but i go back... battered geek syndrome I guess
