1. Marie Antoinette (2006)
It seemed up my alley. You know french people and revolutions and the possibility of cake. Only it was as if there wasn't a revolution. And it was dreadfully boring. But at least it was pretty?

2. Timeline (2003)
It seemed up my alley. Sci-fi and medieval french dudes. Only it sucked. I wouldn't have been upset had it not been for the possible potential of this being amazing (MEDIEVAL FRENCH DUDES AND TIME MACHINES).
That and I really liked the book.

3. The Producers (2005)
I like the 1968 version better. It was just better done in general, not this lifeless piece o crap. It wasn't funny and each song I had to go through wincing in pain.

4. The Magnificent Seven (1960)
Actually for all I know this might have a really amazing ending that makes up for the movie. Too bad I'll never know since I fell asleep out of boredom. I'll stick to the Kurosawa version thank ya very much.

5. The Cat in the Hat (2003)
Just no. NO. Stop with the destroying of my childhood books. It's not funny.

6. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
I really wanted to be like everyone else and like this film. It had alot of things going for it but I suppose it just wasn't my thing. Johnny Depp was cool though.

7. The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
I don't remember actually why I didn't like it. (I must have suppressed the bad memories about random sex scenes) But I'm not about to rewatch it to find out.

8. The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
I didn't like the second but I honestly didn't think it could get worse.

9. Porco Rosso (1992)
I love me some Miyazaki Ghibli films but I'm sorry Porco Rosso. You just didn't do it for me. I don't think I was old enough to appreciate it.

10. Treasure Planet (2002)
The concept looked awesome and the potential was high. But for some strange reason it just didn't click with me.

11. No Country for Old Men (2007)
I too wanted to be part of the hip unconventional movie lover group. But I felt like this movie just shoots itself in the foot and I didn't have enough testosterone understand.

12. There Will Be Blood (2007)
I too wanted to be part of the hip unconventional movie lover group. Too bad I get bored easily. I did enjoy Paul Dano crying like a girl though.

13. I Am Legend (2007)
Will Smith and the dog were alright in the film but they weren't enough to save me from the boredom and possible plot holes.

14. The Fountain (2006)
I actually couldn't finish watching and I suppose I wasn't in the right mind set but until then it stays on this list.

I found it to be very boring and I didn't have the patience nor the curiosity to sit through the end and find out what the hell is going on.

i am with you on charlie and the chocolate factory. tried hard to like it. it just did not work.

i did like porco rosso, though!

Have you considered Big Fish?
Posted : 1 year, 5 months ago at Jun 4 21:17
Might just have to make one of these for myself, but maybe with books.

I saw the magnificent seven. Ending sucked so you didn't miss much.

The "random sex/rave scene" was in Matrix Reloaded, not Revolutions.

Love this list!
But have to agree with Lemona, Porco was ok but it may be an age thing. However do not add Big Fish as Kryptic Centurion suggested, that's a decent movie! Hmmm must write a review!

you should definitely see porco rosso again when you feel you're "ready", it's my favorite of the miyazaki films (though it's possibly just because i have a soft spot for aviation).

however, i agree with you wholeheartedly on charlie and the chocolate factory.

A fantastic cast and/or direction ain't saving anyone here.
