Went to see this with some friends. Awful movie. But somewhat amusing.

16 Blocks is the only movie I've ever walked out on, I did not pick it.

I.E. "Artsy" films

The first 2 were artsy films? Am I thinking of the wrong movies? The one about the oil tycoon and the one w/ Tommy Lee Jones and a guy w/ a air powered cattle killing machine?

The Reaping - Hilary Swank horror film, had something do with her being an atheist scientist trying to debunk some town overrun with what appear to be the Seven Plagues. Think that sounds interesting? Then write your own movie and shoot it with your friends. Don't touch this.

Perfect Stranger - Shittastic Halle Berry/Bruce Willis/Giovannia Ribissi movie. It came out like two years ago when it really should have come out in 1995. Halle Berry investigates the crazy world of Internet adult chatrooms to unravel some shit plot that I think involved murder. The big revelation and twist ending sucked balls.

I've sat through worse while watching them on movie channels but nothing compares to sitting in a movie theater seat during a shitfest.

But few movies infuriated me the way Death Proof did. I was expecting a Pulp Fiction because hey, Tarantino can construct a movie with no plot but wicked dialogue. What I got instead was a barrage of endless, inane and mind-numbingly dull dialogue spewed by actors with no presence. And don't tell me I was not the target audience - I watch all kinds of movies and do not discriminate. I am somewhat easily impressed, like everything from mindless stoner comedies to artsy-fartsy-Oscar-bait dramas. But Death Proof just plain pissed me off.

Probably Paul Blart, fortunately there were other things happening in the theatre to take my mind off the horrible film.

The worst movies I've paid to watch were, The Happening and Inkheart

Yep, those were all terrible. Wanted had potential but failed miserably. Nothing ever happened in The Happening, but it was one of those movies where you keep watching to see how it will end.

The only good thing about Inkheart is that it put me to sleep within 5 minutes and when I woke up, my plane was landing. Quite an accomplishment, since normally I can't sleep on planes.

in recent memory, I'd have to say In Bruges. Maybe I was just particularly tired that day, but I had to affirmatively struggle to keep myself seated and not walk away; I was that bored.

Battlefield Earth. Though not as awful individually, I did have the stupidity in one very long weekend to see 'A Civil Action' & 'The Thin Red Line' back to back on the same day. UGH!
