Advantages: Some midly amusing moments

Disadvantages: generally pants....

Now let me stress this very clearly, these are merely my opinons on films I have personally disliked for whatever reason. If you like any of them then good for you, you managed to take something out of them that I simply couldn't. I have no doubt that some of my favourite films are disliked by many.... if we all liked the same thing it would be a very boring world! Anyway on we go, in no particular order.....

1) Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Imagine the scene - 4 teenage boys trying to decide what to see at the pictures.... "what about Mad Dogs and Englishmen? Apparently Liz Hurley gets her puppies out"... now this is never the best way to pick a film, but as promised she did indeed get her "puppies" out, but it was in the midst of a "drug running in London" shambles of a film. Bad acting, bad scrip, bad, bad, bad

2) Hard Rain - One of the few films I've actually switched off. Complete and utter tosh and I don't understand how it happened. You have Morgan Freeman, Christian Slater and Minnie Driver in a huge flood with an armoured car heist. Sounds like a good start but someone forgot about a scrip along the way.

3)Saving Private Ryan - "What?! you can't be serious!" I hear you all cry in the manner of the famous tennis playing hothead. I appreciate that the first 30 minutes or so are pretty breathtaking, but unfortunately after that it goes all pants and "America sves the world". After the first 30 minutes of effects hte film has a very flimsy story and a lot of Tom Hanks with his shaking hand, he might as well be saying "Please, please, please give me another Oscar, look see my shaking hand. Oh go on" As I said just personal opinion and I didn't like this one little bit.

4) Star Wars Episode 1 - Again a possible contoversial choice but for me Jar Jar Binx was just too annoying.

5)Spaceballs - I totally HATED this film. I saw it years ago when it
first came out and just didn't think it was funny at all. I'm not a huge fan of Mel Brooks in the best of circumstances .... I dunno maybe it's too low brow!!

6)Big Mommas House - Made it through about 5 minutes of the film (including the title credits) before I had to switch over. When was this ever a good idea?? what were they thinking, no really what were they thinking? Were the execs who gave this idea the green light on drugs? Shame on you Martin Lawrence, shame on you!

7)Stigmata - Again could have been so much better, but lacked any kind of suspense, drama, emotion.... basically just poor...

8) Get Carter (2000) - See reveiw titled Why sly, why. That really says it all.... why on earth did Sly think it was a good idea to remake a Michael Caine classic (haven't personally seen the original, but it's always raved about) and take Michael Caines part of Carter. He does have an amusing silve shiny suit in it though...

9)Showgirls - It truly is awful... Bad, bad acting, poor script, poor casting need I go on? Stick to the Sci-fi films Paul....

10)Boxing Helena - What a daft film. Makes very little sense and is generally of the same school as Showgirls - Bad, bad, bad...

So there you go, my personal top 10 "would rather watch paint dry than these" films. I'm sure there are worse films out there and when I happen upon them I may well update this......
