Worst Movies

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Beloved -
one day El Hombre hopes to meet Oprah, she's a beautiful woman, but when we meet, I'll have to ask her "Oprah. Beloved? What were you thinking?" And she'll probably break down and start sobbing and saying how she and Stedman were having problems and I'll comfort her and say, "I understand Oprah, but really. Beloved?" More sobs, more comfort from El Hombre.
The Passion of the Christ
Pay It Forward -
This could have been good, but Helen Hunt is horrible, as usual. The acting is bad, and the story is worse. But with the right story and writing, maybe the actors could really have believed the motions they were going through.
The Pledge
Seven
The Shipping News
Bounce
Along Came a Spider -
If Columbo were on this case the first thing he would have asked was: why didn't the secret service agents notice the kidnapper's bad skin (he wore a latex mask for 2 years!)? The kidnapper was a teacher at a private school with security all around and it was so obvious he was wearing a disguise. El Hombre could not get over that bad disguise. This whole movie was wearing a bad disguise. In one scene, where the kidnapper calls the FBI investigator, he steals a line directly from the movie "Heat". That made El Hombre angry. Then a phone tag scene all over D.C. was stolen directly from "Die Hard 3". This movie stinks.
Planet of the Apes (2001 version)
Just Married
Gigli
Titanic (Leonardo deWho?)
Any and all Kevin Costner movies.
They all only count as one big bad movie.
