Splice

I hated this film. I hate the way it was deceptively marketed, I hate the way many critics have tried to compare it to Cronenberg, and I hate how unbelievably stupid the entire script was.

Solitary Man (2010)

This one induced severe nausea. I left the theater knowing full well there were only five minutes remaining. I have no doubt that they were five minutes better spent.

The Last Exorcism (2010)

Surprisingly good build up and strong performances followed by a shockingly poor finish. Also, much shorter on thrills than I expected.

Cyrus (2010)

Oh how I expected to love this film. Oh how I was wrong.

Hot Tub Time Machine

I didn't like last year's The Hangover and guess what? I didn't like this too well either.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Ok, so deep down I knew this was going to suck, but I dared to hope that this remake would be different. And you know what? It was. It wasn't utterly awful. But it wasn't good either.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

With titles like Shawn of the Dead, and the amazing "Hot Fuzz" to this promising director's credit, I figured on enjoying this one. And I did. But only through a few sequences, and only modestly.

She's Out of My League (2010)

I thought it might be funny and I thought it might be charming. It wasn't either of those things.

Dinner for Schmucks (2010)

Why did I go see this in the theater?

Xanadon't's rating:

I generally try to avoid bad movies. But sometimes I ignore my better judgement. Other times films that are billed to be great turn out to be crap. Here's what went wrong so far.
