1. Kingdom of Heaven<\/a> (director’s cut)<\/strong> – Not even its May 2005 release date can save this from being the worst movie of 2006.<\/p>\n

2. Art School Confidential<\/a><\/strong> – The bit at the end – about how the only way to be a successful artist is to be a fraud (the cop) or a notorious killer (our protagonist) – wasn’t worth the whole misguided, hateful, unfunny journey.<\/p>\n

3. Hostel<\/strong> – Couldn’t justify filling my head with nightmares of dangling eyeballs meeting power drills. I will be shocked if the revenge ending was supposed to be taken seriously… seemed so sloppy that it felt like a loving tribute to bad plotting.<\/p>\n

4. Hellraisers 7<\/a> and 8<\/a><\/strong> – I’d heard they were bad, I knew they’d be bad, I watched them anyway. Put the word “Hellraiser” on anything and I’ll watch it. At least they were bad\/fun, hence only the number four slot.<\/p>\n

5. The Yes Men<\/a><\/strong> – Such an obviously funny subject, and from the directors of American Movie. So why does it feel so dull and hastily-compiled? Most unexpectedly crappy movie of the year.<\/p>\n

Dishonorable mentions go to Dance of the Dead<\/a><\/strong> (for being worse than the Hellraisers, but with lower expectations), The Leopard<\/a><\/strong> (for being extremely tedious), Fritz Lang’s Beyond a Reasonable Doubt<\/strong> (for having the most ludicrous script and characters), and Walk The Line<\/a><\/strong> (for pointlessly hollywoodizing Johnny Cash’s life)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
