FORUM FEEDBACK on 2011 RELEASES LIST - The Official RAZZIE® Forum

I'm confused: Does this mean we can talk here and the list will be there just to see?

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Short answer...YES.

Ah, yes, the one and only "Choice" Award show with any street credit to it.

The Critics' Choice Awards are tomorrow. Finally, we get to see an award show with the word 'Choice' in it that's not dominated by dullards.

The Four Horsemen of the Moviepocalypse: uncalled for sequels/remakes/reboots, 3-D surcharges, untalented "celebrities", and anything with Michael Bay's name attached to it.

The Dilemma has only 23% at RT and 46% (an exact double) at MC. Most of the positive reviews at Rotten Tomatoes barely praise it.

RAZZIE Dirty Dozen: Battlefield Earth, F G Fingered, Pluto Nash, A Sound of Thunder, Alone in the Dark, Dirty Love, Rise Silver Srfr, Daddy Day Camp, IKWKM, The Love Guru, All About Steve, Airbender

Green Hornet is currently at something like 43% at RT, that seems pretty worthy of our attention to me, but maybe that's just me.

There's been too many good reviews of The Green Hornet for us to consider it. That doesn't mean it was good; we know they needed to reshoot scenes and add new ones to make it work. It's just that the studio made an mediocre movie out of a bad one.

BHB, this news ought to send your blood pressure straight to chronic hypertension.

2011 will see remakes of The Thing (third time around), Footloose and The Three Musketeers.

Be sure to ask your doctor about Atenolol, okay? . . .

You haven't been the only one to suggest Ong Bak 3.

Yes, I've had the unfortunate misfortune to see Ong Bak 3. Ong Bak 1 was decent enough. Poor excuse for a story, but it had lots of great fighting sequences, which made it mostly enjoyable. Ong Bak 2 had far less fighting sequences, relying more on its even poorer excuse for a story, and was a rather trite experience. Ong Bak 3 is, believe it or not, even more lacking in fighting sequences, and what there are is poorly filmed, and finding Tony Jaa in a rather poor form overall. And the story makes no sense what so ever. Ong Bak 2 had, at least, a couple of action sequences that were OK, but Ong Bak 3 didn't even have that. It was just one, very long yawn from start to end.

In short; yes, I think it's Razzie-worthy!

Like I stated above, I think it could be a contender for Worst Screenplay and Worst Actor in addition to the category you mentioned. But we'll see what the year brings. At the end of the year it might not be among the bottom 5 any longer. ;)

But here's an idea. The other award show has a category for Best Foreign Film. How about a category for Worst Foreign Film, then?

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: The idea of a Worst Foreign Film category has come up repeatedly over the years. While ONG BAK 3 may be an exception, my response has alwaze been that, if a film is perceived as being wretched in its country of origin, it will not likely see release here. I should also mention that, while OB3 may indeed play in a handful of theatres here in the US, it will probably not even be seen (let alone be available to see) by anywhere near a majority of our hundreds of Voting Members -- in other words, it may indeed suck, but it won't likely be widely enough seen to have any "RAZZIE® Traction."
