Six Movies of 2009 You Shouldn’t See
Apologies for the lack of updates. You can blame it on exams. Here is an article I forgot to publish. I saw a lot of movies in 2009 and I thought the following six movies were the worst of the worst and you should avoid seeing them at all costs.
Even if you’re curious I guarantee you will be wasting your time. I watched them so that you don’t have to
Drag Me To Hell
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking I’m an idiot for saying this movie is bad. I know a lot of people will probably disagree with me on this one but I really don’t understand why this movie is so highly rated. Maybe it’s an American thing an Asian like me will never understand, but I thought this movie was pretty bad. You don’t get many high rated, critically acclaimed PG-13 horror movies. When I saw the reviews I was expecting it to be scary or at least gripping like for example, The Ring, which wasn’t really scary but had an relatively interesting plot which kept your attention. For starters it really wasn’t scary at all and the ending was pretty predictable. I found Alison Lohman to be annoying and whiney. All in all, I was disappointed and expected a more interesting movie. Most of it was just a drag.
Blood: The Last Vampire
I watched this movie because I was bored and cornered by the cinema queues/schedule. My friends and I wanted to watch something and it was either queue for an hour for Transformers 2 or queue for 5 seconds for this. I didn’t know what to expect from this movie. All I knew was that it was based on some Japanese series. It was about a half-human half-vampire chic hunting other vampires and demons. Quite original ey? And also bad. Not only did blood behave like mercury every time our heroin hacked and slashed the CGI demons, but the fact that she wore a Japanese schoolgirl outfit for most of the movie tells you something about the people that made this movie. If you happen to be into that sort of thing, then this movie is for you. Otherwise, stay the hell away. Adaptation or not, this movie is still bad.
Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li
It’s hard to believe that Smallville star Kristin Kreuk reportedly left her role as Lana Lang for this pile of suck. This movie is bad on so many levels. Bad script, bad story, bad acting and downright bad movie. Mediocre action scenes and generally predictable plot makes this movie something you should avoid watching. You should invest your 10 dollars on a Street Fighter arcade machine instead because you will most definitely find more enjoyment playing the game than watching this movie.
I Love You, Beth Cooper
I knew this movie was bad. I should’ve listened to my friend when he said it was. But I was curious to check it out for myself. I seriously didn’t expect it to be THIS bad. The movie tries hard to be Superbad. It’s not. It’s neither funny nor clever and I almost walked out. I probably would have if my friends didn’t want their 10 dollars to go to waste. Hayden Panetierre fans would probably enjoy it, but even if you’re a diehard fan of her, you’d probably be better off watching the (bad) third season of Heroes. Do not see this movie.
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
One might argue that the attractive women in this movie (Jennifer Garner, Lacey Chabert, etc.) will offset how bad it is, but they are wrong. but in general this movie is just not that funny. I’ll admit this is nowhere near as bad as any of the previously mentioned movies, but it still fails to impress. If you’re looking for a romcom, The Proposal is what you should be watching.
Year One
Who would’ve thought that a Jack Black + Michael Cera combo would be so full of fail. For some reason this movie just disappeared from the local cinema schedules days before its release. I only watched it when it became available on DVD. I’m glad it got pulled from the schedules because people really shouldn’t watch this. Whoever wrote this movie seems to think toilet humour is always funny. It’s not. There is a scene in which Jack Black’s character literally eats a piece of shit. Seriously? I think I only laughed once or twice throughout the entire course of this movie. Avoid it.
