COMPLETE LIST: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2007

Agreed. To date, 2007 has been a year of appalling mediocrity, with very little variance at either end of the bell curve, whether on the outstanding our laughably awful sides (I had to toss that in just in case #1 Sly Fan pops in to read something not directly related to his hero  ). Just about all the movies I've seen this year had all the "outstanding " production values I'd expect from some Hallmark Channel original presentation.

It seems like the only really risky and original work in the film industry these days is coming out of the indies, and Lion's Gate is fast becoming the most prolific player in the industry. Shame on the big dogs. Geez guys (i.e the big studios)  roll the dice. So what if we end up bagging you? At least somebody will be discussing your work! 

Early reviews for Hairspray say Travolta's Very good in it. This might jump start his career........again.  If it does hopefully it will lead to several good roles in the coming years ( Like Pulp Fiction led to Get Shorty, Face/off, Broken Arrow, and Primary Colors)

Since we're past the halfway point of the year, here are the worst movies released in 2007 that I've seen are, ranked from the most rank (on the bottom of the list) on up:

Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer 
Wild Hogs 
Premonition 
Perfect Stranger 
Transformers 
Code Name: The Cleaner
Blood and Chocolate
Funny Money  
Epic Movie

I would also give a nod to Georgia Rule for being the worst waste of talent on an awful premise that I never will want to see, but may have to, since it's beginning to appear on "worst" lists.

I'm glad some else likes Fred Clause. I didn't know what to expect when I saw The Trailer, then I got to see it and I couldn't stop laughing. Very funny, from both Vince Vaughn & Paul Giamatti...

Originally posted by Sanndman228715 One movie that I think will actually be pretty funny (After watching it's trailer today), is Fred Claus. It's being directed by the guy who did the Wedding Crashers, and it has two of my favorite actors ( Paul Giamatti and Kevin Spacey). This is the first Christmas-themed movie I'm looking forward to in a long time.

Just saw Hairspray, and I'm man enough to admit that this was the most fun I've had at the movies since Grindhouse. Everyone was good (Especially Travolta and Christopher Walken, who actually had better chemistry as a couple than any other twosome in the movie!). This should be nowhere near the Razzie nominating ballot.

The Worst Actress contenders so far should be...

1. EDDIE MURPHY for Norbit (as Raspuita)!!!

2. DIANE KEATON for Because I Said So

3. LINDSAY LOHAN for I Know Who Killed Me

4. HALLE BERRY for Perfect Strangers

5. SANDRA BULLOCK for Premonition

6. HILARY SWANK for The Reaping

Even though I love her so much, what about Mandy Moore for BECAUSE I SAID SO and LICENSE TO WED? Or would that be supporting?

I just read the item that says Jessica Simpson;s poterntial Razzie contender "Legally Blonde" might be released direct-to-DVD. So does this mean she'd be ineligible for Worst Actress??

Response from Head RAZZberry: If you're talking about the item on the website for US Magazine (LINK) the film's production company insists they still intend to release the film in theatres by year's end. Although, given how awful its trailer looks (LINK) and how many times its supposedly impending release has been "postponed," the likelihood is that it will end up going straight-to-video. In which case, since our "rules" follow those of the AMPAS (a film must be shown theatrically in LA or New York to qualify) technically, Simpson would be exempted from consideration as a RAZZIE contender...
