“Dragonfly” Starring Kevin Costner, Susanna Thompson and Joe Morton
Directed by Tom Shadyac
Whaty What?
By Michele Dillon
Oh my goodness….this movie was really boring, up until the point where Kevin Costner actually figures out what is going on, then it kind of gets exciting, but then the it leads to an ending that didn’t really live up to it’s expectations. I was never really a big fan of Kevin Costner until I saw the movie Mr. Brooks. I actually got to see his acting ability to his fullest in that movie. Since then, I have appreciated his work but haven’t really seen him do anything as good as he did in Mr. Brooks. This story was really good but I think that they could have done so much more with the idea. Costner’s wife dies but they never find her body. She was pregnant when she died as well. Since her death, Costner keeps getting encounters with people that keep claiming that have seen her in the afterlife and she is trying to send him a message. The first hour and a half of the movie is Costner trying to decipher the message. If they had made more clues for it to actually demand that much time needed for it then it would have been fine. However, it was just the same clue over and over and over again; cross like wiggly shape…oooh exciting.
Now you may be thinking that I make everyone think that the movies on this list are horrible and that they should never watch them unless they want to waste their money and time…and you would be right, that is exactly what I am trying to do.

73rd Worst Movie: Premonition
“Premonition” Starring Sandra Bullock, Julian McMahon and Nia Long
Directed by Mennan Yapo
“Forewarning” To Confusion
By Michele Dillon
This movie wasn’t necessarily bad, it was confusing. The idea was kind of interesting but I hate when a director takes the movie in a direction that doesn’t get explained. I don’t mind being confused during the first half of the movie if it means that I am going to understand what is going on later (also known as: suspense thriller). But at the end of this movie, I was left thinking; “OK, I think I get it…no wait that makes no sense…wait, it kind of DOES make sense…agh!” I am still not sure that I have come to a definitive conclusion. The only thing that I could think of that sort of makes sense is that on Thursday when Sandra Bullock’s day starts, that is when the cycle of her premonition starts. If you think about it that way, then the rest of it makes sense but then you are still left wondering, but what did she actually DO on the days following up to Thursday? Just because the movie starts on the day of Thursday, doesn’t mean that Bullock’s character had no life before Thursday. If none of you have seen this movie, my rambling probably makes no sense, so by my definition, I am a bad movie reviewer because you are left confused as well…but I feel OK about it because I didn’t spend all this money on it and cast really good actors to play the roles so it’s not a waste for me…

74th Worst Movie: Basic Instinct 2
“Basic Instinct 2” Starring Sharon Stone, Hugh Dancy and David Thewlis
Directed by Michael Caton-Jones
My Basic Instinct: This Movie Sucked
By Michele Dillon
Question #1.) How does Sharon keep getting hired to make movies?
Question #2.) Why isn’t Sharon Stone making porn instead, since that is basically what her movies are only it can comes to the theatres instead of DVD.
Question #3.) Why did I come up with this idiotic idea to watch the worst movies in the world?…it seems like they all have my LEAST favorite actors in them or ones that I have never heard of but they annoy me just the same. (AKA Kim Basinger and Sharon Stone)
I think it is pretty clear that my stance on this movie is that I did not like it. It was a horrible plot, horrible script, horrible acting and horrible Sharon Stone. The first Basic Instinct movie wasn’t even that good, why did they feel the need to make a second one? It was not necessary and I feel really bad that the director never got his time or money back for this horrible idea.

75th Worst Movie: Out Cold
“Out Cold” Starring Jason London, Lee Majors and Zach Galifianakis
Directed by Brendan Malloy and Emmett Malloy
Outdone
By Michele Dillon
This move was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was expecting some stupid stoner movie about snowboarding much like the same comedy of Grandma’s Boy, which I know most people love that movie but I do not. It WAS a stoner movie about snowboarding BUT it was much less annoying than I expected. The storyline wasn’t too bad. These guys work on a ski mountain and they are obsessed with snow boarding. This new hot shot guy comes in and wants to buy the mountain and he slowly transforms it into everything the mountain never was and never should be. So all the previous workers try to claim the mountain back and along the way they have fun doing all sorts of weird stuff.
One of my favorite parts of the movie was when Zach Galifianakis’ character was passed out drunk and his buddies picked him up and put him in a car in the driver seat. Then they all got in the passenger seats and had people outside the car spin the vehicle around in a circle (since this movie was based in Alaska, there is always snow on the ground) to make it seem like Zach’s character had fallen asleep drunk at the wheel and they were crashing. He wakes up and starts freaking out and tries to straighten out the wheel because he really thinks it is happening. I thought it was pretty hilarious and I would have had a lot of fun trying to pull that prank on someone I know.
I don’t think I would ever voluntarily watch this movie again, however because of the very basic script and mediocre acting. I am not really one to watch these types of comedies since I think most stoner movies can only be understood by stoners themselves. I will say, however, that Grandma’s Boy was “outdone” by this movie as far as quality goes.

Out Of Order
I have been waiting for this one movie The Wash, which is the next movie in line on the Worst list. It has been on "short wait" on my online Blockbuster list for over two weeks now! They keep sending me the movies that are right after those so...forgive me, I must post a few of the reviews out of order since I am still trying to stay within my deadline, I will make sure that The Wash review is posted as soon as whoever is holding the movie that is on the Worst list in their house forever on end...
This is killing me too, cause I have watched some of the movies out of order but I don't want to post them out of order on my blog...but I must...forgive me I must...:)

77th Worst Movie: See No Evil
“See No Evil” Starring Kane, Christina Vidal and Michael J. Pagan
Directed by Gregory Dark
See No Good
By Michele Dillon
There are so many bad horror movies out there that I am pretty sure they could have created the 100 Worst Movie list solely with just this genre. Let me start out by saying first that Kane is one ugly dude. I know they probably made him look a lot uglier than he his, but I don’t think you can make someone look THAT ugly if they didn’t start off with some raw material. Ok, now straight from insulting the actors too…insulting the actors…their acting that is. I think that the movie industry has got it all wrong. A horror movie is going to have a bad script and it’s going to have a bad plot so to balance it all out, they should hire amazing actors. Now I’m obviously not saying amazing AND famous actors, otherwise they would not sign on for the role. But I’m sure you can find some nobodies out there who are just dying to release their acting chops by screaming their heads off!
The movie was about a crazy ugly dude, Kane, who runs (or I guess more appropriately, “stalks”) around killing people and then ripping their eyes out. It’s really kind of pointless and it’s not all that scary either. You are just waiting the entire movie for him to either die or just kill everyone, whichever one will make the movie end faster. Fortunately, one of those two things did happen, but just in case you actually feel like watching a movie that will bore the hell out of you, I won’t reveal which one it is.

78th Worst Movie: My Boss’s Daughter
“My Boss’s Daughter” Starring Ashton Kutcher, Tara Reid and Terrence Stamp
Directed by David Zucker
Meet the Daugther
By Michele Dillon
I saw this movie in the theatre when it came out. I think what I am going to tell you is enough review in itself to know how horrible of a movie this is. I NEVER laughed ONCE throughout the entire movie when I saw it. It’s supposed to be a comedy and I never even stifled a giggle. So I’m sure you can feel what my dismay was when I realized I had to endure this movie another time.
I thought it then and I think it now, the movie is a LAME rip-off of Meet the Parents. Where the guy is trying to impress the girl’s father but everything he does and says goes horribly wrong. I don’t think anyone could have made a more horrible movie more than Zucker who is the director of most of the "Scary Movies" Franchise. Just thinking about how much this movie is a lot like Parents and the fact that Zucker likes to make spoofs, it makes me think of whether or not he was actually TRYING to spoof Parents. If that’s the case….the movie STILL isn’t funny.
The End
P.S. If you are counting down with me, I am sure you have noticed how many movies I have left to watch as opposed to days I have left....I am going to have to devote the next 73 days of my life to this blog it looks like!

79th Worst Movie: Venom
"Venom" Starring Agnus Bruckner, Jonathan Jackson and Laura Ramsey
Directed by Jim Gillespie
Denim By
Michele Dillon
Things I Am Scared Of That May Be In A Scary Movie (but not limited to this list):
1.) Any kind of insect that is doing something it shouldn't (example: being larger than normal, walking faster than normal, biting people's heads off...)
2.) Talking dolls (this may also have something to do with the fact that I do not like objects doing things they shouldnt)
3.) Clowns (they are just plain scary and they have creepy smiles)
4.) Spiders in general (big, small, medium)
5.) People that wear masks (or any kind of thing that covers what their face really looks like)
6. Chainsaws (you would think at this point in time we could invent a chainsaw that does not make that huge loud creepy sound!)
Ok...I think you get the point. I'm a wimp. However, I was able to watch this movie and not get scared at all. In fact, I was so NOT scared that I titled this review "Denim" since that is exactly what I was thinking about during this movie (also, it rhymed with Venom, whether that is just coincedental, that is up to you to decide). The movie was about evil spirited possessed snakes (ok, so I wasn't really thinking about denim, it just rhymed, ok!). Evil spirits have the possibility of being scary, possession has proven to be scary in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, but snakes? Whats creepy about snakes? So they slither on the ground and they can eat things that are 4 times bigger than their own heads, but other than those two VERY minor things, they are not scary at all! If you see a snake you have a very good chance of running away since they really are not that fast. Ok, so it might end up being poisonous but you can just suck the venom right out! It's easy!
So I don't know what this director/screenwriter was thinking...the basic rules of movie making are a.) if its not a good script, then make a scary movie out of it and b.) if its not a good script and it can't be made into a scary movie, then DON'T MAKE THE MOVIE.

80th Worst Movie: Man of the House
"Man of the House" Starring Tommy Lee Jones, Cedric The Entertainer and Christina Millian
Directed by Stephen Herek
Cheerleading Bonanza
By Michele Dillon
There are many things I didn't like about this movie. One of them being that there are cheerleaders in it. And they aren't even that cute. So that leaves that they are just bubbly and annoying. Another one of them being that this movie was supposed to be about how the cheerleaders had witnessed a murder so Tommy Lee Jones had to protect them from being killed. The reason why that bothers me is 1.) the cheerleaders don't remember anything and 2.) they covered the part where Jones protects the cheerleaders but they don't ever cover the part where the police department is activily trying to find the killer in the first place so the killer doesn't even get brought up again until the ending when everything goes awry. So basically this movie was just relying on Jones' acting and the cheerleaders being hot. None of which did it really have going for it.
Other than those major things, the actul flow of the movie was not bad and I didn't really start to get bored until the very end. I do, however, think that it belongs on the Worst list.

81st Worst Movie: Underclassman
"Underclassman" Starring Nick Cannon, Cheech Marin and Roselyn Sanchez
Directed by Marcos Siega
"Blunder"classman
By Michele Dillon
So my beef with this movie does not have so much to do with how horrible it is and whether or not it should be on the Worst list but more with my hatred for Nick Cannon and all that is his non acting abilities. I really think he should stick to hosting Americas Got Talent because he certainly does not have it. The movie itself was not all bad. I just had a sense of "deja vu" watching it because it was just another one of those cop movies where there is a clumsy cop who doesn't follow the rules but is apparantly smart enough to have made it on the team, but then he messes up bad enough to get kicked off the team, but of course he is going to still investigate his case because being kicked off doesn't stop him from doing anything he wants to do, then he saves the day and gets put back on the team...I feel like I JUST watched a movie like this....oh yeah! Taxi! That is pretty coincedental that they are both on the Worst list...or is it??
Some of you may be wondering, am I getting sick of watching all these horrible movies just so I can entertain your mind by reading my hilarious antics and clever titles, and the answer is yes...yes I am...but I push through. I keep going, and you want to know why? Because I know how bad my four followers love to log on to their computers every day and recieve a notice that there is a brand new blog to read by the amazing Michele Dillon and that might just have brightened their entire day...oh yes, I do this for you, four followers, for you!

82nd Worst Movie: The Skulls
"The Skulls" Starring Joshua Jackson, Paul Walker and Leslie Bibb
Directed by Rob Cohen
"Secret Society Mayhem"
By Michele Dillon
I actually used to watch this movie all the time when I was younger and I really liked it. So
personally, I have no clue why this movie is on the list. Its not the best movie ever made, but it's
detinitely not the Worst either. The movie is about where a college student wants to join a secret
society because he believes that is the only way he will be able to pay for law school. However, he gets into a falling out with his friend because his friend doesn't believe in secret socities. The friend decides to do an expose on the The Skulls, which is the name of the society, and ends up being found hung in his bedroom and it looks like a suicide. The wannabe lawyer then decides he needs to find out what really happened and what he finds out rocks his world.
Anyway, after getting over the initial giggle fest I just had after using the phrase "rocks his world", I think the idea of the movie is good, the script is ok, the acting is not bad, it may have been a little cheesy but I was able to handle it. All in all, I thought for the type of movie it was, it was watchable and I don't think it constituted a place on this list. Therefore I am entering in my FIRST and ONLY (so far) VETO of this movie being on the list. Veto meaning, I absolutely do not agree it should be on the 100 Worst Movies List. So there.

83rd Worst Movie: A Sound of Thunder
"A Sound of Thunder" Starring Edward Burns, Ben Kingsley and John Wallenbeck
Directed by Peter Hyams
"A Sound of a.....Bad Movie"
By Michele Dillon
Aww man...I can't believe I wasted my "blunder" title on "Underclassman" when I could have used it for this movie....but anyway, I'm completely over it.
The second I turned this movie on I knew it was going to be a movie well worth being on the Worst list. It is supposed to be set in the future but instead of just trying to make current things seem futuristic, the entire movie seems like it is CGI'd. There are numerous scenes where the actors are walking on the sidewalk and it shows the cars driving by that are supposed to be inventions from the future, but they have such a cartoonish vibe to them and it doesnt look real at all. You can totally tell that the actors are working in front of green screens. As if that wasn't enough to make the movie completely not deserving of my respect, the storyline was horrible too. It was about where a scientist had invented a time traveling machine and has used it to make money by having rich people sign up to travel back in time to the dinosaur land and have the adventure of killing a real live dinosaur. However, they can't change anything in order to make sure the future doesn't change so they make sure that they keep killing the same dinosaur over and over again each time and they only can kill it once it is clear it was already going to die anyway. During one of the trips, something goes wrong but they believe that they have everything under control once they leave. However, things start changing in the real world after the trip. Vegetation starts growing everywhere and weird animals start errupting because evolution somewhow got changed. Pretty soon, according to the scientist that invented the machine, she believes humans will eventually change into a completely different mutation as well unless they find a way to go back to the original trip where something went wrong and fix it before it happens so everything goes back to normal.
The only glitch in this dumb idea of a movie is the basic knowledge of how time travel works. In time traveling, if you go back to a time where something already occurrs and for example, talk to someone there, then that means that the person that was talked too is going to remember that in the present. So the idea in this movie where one of the characters manages to go back to where everything went wrong and fix what happened, doesn't make sense because he talks to one of the scientists on the trip, yet the first time around this never happened. Its just not possible and it doesn't make sense therefore it is stupid....I know they way I explained it probably makes no sense either but explaining time travel is hard so forgive me.

The only glitch in this dumb idea of a movie is the basic knowledge of how time travel works. In time traveling, if you go back to a time where something already occurrs and for example, talk to someone there, then that means that the person that was talked too is going to remember that in the present. So the idea in this movie where one of the characters manages to go back to where everything went wrong and fix what happened, doesn't make sense because he talks to one of the scientists on the trip, yet the first time around this never happened. Its just not possible and it doesn't make sense therefore it is stupid....I know they way I explained it probably makes no sense either but explaining time travel is hard so forgive me.
84th Worst Movie: Stealing Harvard
"Stealing Harvard" Starring Tom Green, Jason Lee and Leslie Mann
Directed by Bruce McCulloch
Should Have Gone To Yale
By Michele Dillon
Ok, so this is another one of the movies on the list that isn't as HORRIBLE as I thought it would be. The premise of the movie is that John (Jason Lee) has been saving for a downpayment on a house with his fiance Elaine (Leslie Mann) who had told him that they can't get married until they have $30,000 for the downpayment. Then he finds out that his one and only neice, who he has been playing father figure for since she was born, got accepted to Harvard and a long while ago when she was 7, he had promised her if she ever got accepted to college that he would pay for it. Of course the exact amount she needs after all her scholarships and financial aid is close to $30,000. So instead of telling his fiance that he needs $30,000 for a promise he made to his neice, he decides to get the help of his friend Duff (Tom Green) to plot and plan how to "steal" the money from other sources. Of course, all of their ideas never work out so it ends up getting them more and more in trouble and leads to disaster.
The only thing that really irked me about this movie was that Lee and Green went to such drastic measures to try and get $30,000 that it was really unbelievable, and not unbelievable in a funny way. When something is so entirely unrealistic like that, its hard to dissassociate it from whether it was all done on purpose to seem that stupid or if the movie really is just stupid. There were a couple funny parts throughout the movie but overall I am a really big Non-Fan of Tom Green AND Jason Lee and Leslie Mann was the only one that saved the movie for me.
