Malik has beautiful films. And they are . . . interesting. But they DRAG!

Pretty bad, but Eve Mendes butt nekkid was the highlight of the film

Hey... Wait a minute, I loved The Little Mermaid. Seriously though I love movies that are intelligent like the Girl with the Dragon tattoo. But if intelligent is code for boring then count me out.

I watch mainstream movies, so yes I'm sure there are worse out there. But I'm not about to go see Piranha 3D to begin with.

It was extremely super boring. I found myself squirming at the movie theater the entire time. Every single movie I listed in being in my top 10 worst I actually saw at the theater. I am an avid movie goer and I love movie, I just hated all of these.

The Spirit was bad on sooo many levels. Scarlett Johanason better be glad Emma Blount dropped out as Black Widow, allowing her to revive her previously dead career.

How did you hate Good Will Hunting? I know some people who were disappointed because of all the hype but at the very least, there were some pretty funny parts I thought.

I saw it once at the theater in 96 or 97. My mother and I both wanted to kill ourselves.
