The English POS ...errr... I mean The English Patient. So boring I couldn't bring myself to finish it.
The Thin Red Line. Booooooring. In its defense, the cinematography was good, but what is the point of having this massive ensemble cast of big names and only having most of them appear for less than 5 minutes?
The Last Samurai. The Last Time I'll Watch It, more like.
Any Batman movie directed by Joel Schumacher. 'Nuff said.
The Time Machine remake. Geez...talk about underwhelming. I personally like Guy Pearce as an actor but even he couldn't save this flick from itself. Dragged on too much, only to abruptly end all of a sudden as if to compensate for the fact that they wasted the first hour and half.
We just finished watching Anchorman. People thought this was funny?
Sorry, but I must step up in defense of the great Anchorman. That movie is AWESOME. It is the essential quotes movie, IMO everything Ferrel and several other characters including Brick say is hilarious. It will go down as a classic!

I completely disagree with the English Patient comment - personally, I think it is a wonderful film. But you are entitled to your opinion.
I agree with your comment on the Time Machine. It has to be one of the worst remakes ever. I knew things were going to get BAD when they had a Star Trek line at one point.

The Pacifier - fine for the kids... I guess. Dreadful for the rest of us. The duck was cool, but the rest of it... Cheesy. Painfully so.

Stay far away from Excorcist: The Beginning. Please.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.John Stuart Mill
I took my daughter to The Pacifier this weekend, it was a labor of love.

Did you have to sit through any of the Pokemon movies? I wanted to eviscerate myself with my car keys.

the only movie I actually turned off while watching it on DVD/VHS:
The Disney version of 'Three Musketeers' with Keifer Sutherland and other brats of the time (although I do like both Sutherlands as actors...).
Not only was it truly bad, for anyone such as myself who loves the original book, it is an atrocity that should never have evoked Dumas' good name. The 1974 movie is about as good as it gets so far with a movie translation...

I quite agree with the Excorcist the Beginning. Not at all the atmosphere of the original movie. a couple gruesome scenes, but, that's about it.
I personally enjoy both resident Evil films?
The Village by M. Night ShammaLammaDingDong, was boring to us. I think it's problem was it marketed wrong. We were expecting a horror film, but, really, it's not even a Psychological thriller. Cinematography was great, but not creepy in the slightest, IMHO.
