A few days ago, the London Times published its list of the top 100 films of 2008. Now, it offers its list of the bottom 100 films of 2008. Here's wondering if there'll be much of an overlap.
Below are a few sample comments:
The Hottie & The Nottie (top photo): "The most eagerly hated movie in America is a tongue-in-cheek homage to Paris Hilton that has drawn nothing but poisonous reviews. On IMDb it has been voted the worst film ever made" – James Christopher
Zack and Miri Make a Porno: "Seth Rogen is an amiable and chubby clown, and quite possibly the most unconvincing romantic hero since Adam Sandler. The most soppy and unsexy 18-certificate skin-flick ever made" – James Christopher
Cassandra's Dream (above, with Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor): "Ultimately, the accents are excruciating, the class observations simplistic (everyone is either posh or poor) and the sense of place muddled at best" – Kevin Maher
The Lost City: "Andy Garcia’s preposterous vanity project is an all-singing, all-dancing version of the Cuban Revolution. But all is not well in Havana" – James Christopher
Wanted (above, with Angelina Jolie): "A movie ruthlessly designed for an audience of comic nerds who suspect that they are destined for greater things" – Kevin Maher
My Blueberry Nights: "Wong Kar Wai’s first English-language film, and I, for one, hope it will be his last. Something got lost in the translation: his talent" – Cosmo Landesman
