Teeth on Netflix.
What were they thinking? Who actually pitched that idea to backers and got funding for it?
Horror?
Comedy?
Porn?
New art?
Who knows but it is very bad.
I'll kick-off with:
'Transformers - Age of Extinction'. The critical reviews have ALL been so damningly negative, I just had to watch it. :)
What a waste of 165 minutes of my life. :( Nothing redeeming about it at all. Cr@p script, cr@p story, loud, confusing, loud, mindless action and did I mention LOUD?!!
Special effects sci-fi/Superhero blockbusters can be done really well (Avengers Assemble, Xmen First Class, Batman, etc). Michael Bay needs to take some lessons from these.

The Cabin in the Woods.
Total garbage. Probably the worst film I've seen in at least ten years. There are very very few films I would give one star or less but this is one of them. Lord knows how it's got a rating of 7 on IMDB.
To be honest, quite a lot of Netflix content is complete crap!
On the other hand, I watched "Primer" on Netflix - a short-ish movie about a couple of engineers who invent a time travel device. Really good film but so complicated, I had to have the internet explanation in front of me when I watched it a second time! Recommended.
World War Z, utter crap. Must be the worst i've seen in 10 years.
Godzilla made Transformers look like Citizen Kane.
Was unsure about this film, my eleven year old son watched it when he went to a friends on a sleep over, wife and I sat to watch it and were horrified to know that someone else's parents thought this was suitable for eleven year olds to watch at a sleep over. It was a wake up call about how little control we have what our sone does or sees when he's out of our house.
After Earth!
(Worst film ever in my view)
I would have to add The Hunger Games and Skyfall.
Knight & Day.
Utter garbage!
This Is The End.......utter,complete,self indulgent crap. I only watched it because I was on a night shift and downloaded the wrong film to my Ipad and had nothing else to watch. I can't stand Seth Rogen and his little band of sycophantic look-at-me's.
(I actually meant to watch The Worlds End,which is superb. Unlike the aforementioned rubbish.)
Freddy got fingered, what can i say!
Sabotage, Arnies latest has to be up there with one of the worst I've seen.
Special mention to Adam Sandlers and Drew Barrymores film Blended. Moronic dross that keeps you watching because it just has to get better, right? Nope, not a bit of it.
I never know why people watch bad films? By averaging reviews, Rotten Tomatoes is pretty accurate at letting you know how good a film will be...I couldn't be bothered wasting 2+ hours of my life on a poor film.
Sharknado. Crap but such a cult following that there's now a few of them. You must watch it on Sci-Fi channel on Sky.
Oh, and Skyfall - utter crap.
Damaged... Walked out of the cinema... Utter dribble
Snowpiercer: terrible implausible comic book story which translated badly to film (as many of them do). Mrs Tweedy out of 'Chicken Run' makes an appearance...
Two come to mind:
Sharks in Venice and Sex Lives of the Potato Men
Maybe, but it is very close to the bottom of the pile, it had one screening at our local cinema with less than 30 of us in there!
Luckily I have an unlimited membership so could go and see as many films as I like, most of the others left to get their money back in the first 30 minutes!
The only other film that this happened in was The Tree of Life, not Brad Pitt's finest hour.
The Purge.
Absolute B movie, but not bad enough to be good. Total destruction of a neat idea. Bad casting, crappy acting - so much so I wanted them all to die, and totally unconvincing story and twists.
Gray
Unstoppable.
As per usual there was nothing on TV last night so watched this, wish I'd just gone to bed instead.
"Now you see me".
Just coming towards the end of this film as we speak. It is utter dross.
'Joe Dirt'. It's complete rubbish but one of the best films I've ever watched. Sheer genius.
"A man of little significance"
Need for speed, you're kind of hoping for some redeeming factor, but it's just a waste of a couple of hours.
Waterworld.....
You'll feel like drowning if you watch it.
This may not be a popular entry, but I thought The Lego Movie was awful. Dull and utterly unfunny. What is all the fuss about what a marvelous film it is supposed to be? We (as in the whole family) lasted about 40 minutes before giving up on it.
Inglourious Basterds,
Utter crap.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
The last rambo movie. He surely cant be needing money that badly?
I watched Teeth this morning on Netflix.
I didn't stop it so it must have been OK ish...
...I thought it was quite good! :) Much better than 'Quantum of Solace', but not quite as good as 'Casino Royale'.
I also quite enjoyed 'Cabin in the Woods'. Classic, original B-movie style horror.
I quite enjoyed both Inglorious Basterds and Rambo!
Her (2013)
This, for me, is the most overrated film I've seen in a long, LONG while.
Nicely shot, well acted, but sooooooo boring.
Serious waste of 2 hours.....
Then again, I enjoyed Skyfall, Inglorious Basterds and even Knight and Day over it, lol, so maybe that says something!

Magnolia, utter dross.....
The Other Half
Danny Dyer on honeymoon in Portugal and trying to watch the football European Championships (1994 I think) without his new wife knowing...dire!
