This must be the most original joke I have ever seen!!! It's like the concept of a skinny white guy trying to be black has never been realized onscreen or in television before!!! LOL LOL......a rail-thin albino...........trying to be black....... That's almost as funny as making a movie and then naming it Meet the Fockers! I can't get over that one! Do you get it? Fuckers? Fockers? They sound the same! As in, when you go up to the box office and ask for a ticket and the hot girl asks you for what movie you're then ALMOST saying "MEET THE FUCKERS"!!! What won't they think of next!!? I think the whole point of the brother thing was that we never really expected a girl to show up, nor for her to look decent. If someone showed up, id assume a man. If it was a girl, a huge fatass.

I think I seem to be a lot more selective in my movie choices then most here (at theatres anyways) I didn't really see anything this year that was that horrible. Troy was probably the biggest disappointment but it wasn't a total loss. Now movies that I caught up with on DVD from last year is a different story.

Wendersfan, methinks you have a crush on George Clooney. To shame!

Alexander-Vangelis score rocked, everything else...
AvP
Christmas with the Kranks
Manchurian Candidate-reviews made it sound great, what did they know?
The Village-interesting build-up, but pay-off was more of a rip-off IMO

I saw a lot of bad movies this year, but as someone else said, it usually takes a lot for me to regret seeing anything. In fact, I tend to like really awful movies. The only one I really kind of regret seeing is Troy. It was just disappointing.

The Day After Tommorow, for reasons I'm sick of hearing myself rant about. I should've stayed home and watched 10.5
Oops, edited to add The Village in there. Never again, M. Night.

Different strokes, I guess.

Haha, well, we must keep in mind Ebert is, after all, the guy who wrote this
Oh, and, er, The Village, as many others have stated. Guess that's about it. I saw it for free as well

Lemony Snicket's an unfortunate movie. I only went to about 10-15 movies in the theaters all year unfortunately, and I enjoyed every one but Lemony, it was the first movie I considered walking out of in a very very long time.

completely agree, but i can't say i regretted seeing them. they at least prompted endless spirited discussions with fans of these works. now, open water is a different story altogether, imo. this is a film completely devoid of entertainment and artistic merit.
