I really don't know whether to laugh or cry...why would they make a sequel to The Punisher Was there some public outcry for more that I didn't hear of because the 1st was absolute
And Saw V - WTF, is this franchise gonna go on and on like the Potter movies
Can anyone tell me why Hollywood has lost all its creativity and keeps remaking really really bad films (bad-ly), is everyone there brain-numb, hence the lack of originality???

It look like Mike Myers could be returing to our Ballot in 2009 with The Love Guru, which it co-stars two-times Nominated for Worst Actress Jessica Alba. You can view The Trailer at The Offical Site: http://www.theloveguru.com/
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Actually, the extended promo that ran in the middle of JON STEWART'S DAILY SHOW this week made THE LOVE GURU look to me like it might be Myer's first genuinely funny non-SHREK movie in ages...
Jessica Alba is a terrible actress. She will never be in a movie worth watching. The only movie she was in that good to me was "Sin City" and thank goodness her role was not big in that. All she really did was dance with a pole, which is pretty much the only reason why her movies make money in the first place.
I do believe "Jumper" is a good contender, that movie was not all that great.
I did not see, but is Untraceable in pink. That movie was very disappointing as well.
Wait, Anaconda 3 with David Hasselhoff! Wow!! Talk about a movie- lover's nightmare (it is definitely mine)
Speaking of Worst of the Weak, I smell a bonus WotW in College Road Trip.
It stars "Big Momma" Martin Lawrence (and also has a cast that includes Donny Osmond) and has an early critic rating of 00% at Rotten Tomatoes, based on 11 reviews.
Even the title is misleading. "College Road Trip" makes you think of a bunch of college students having adventures on the road. However, this movie involves a father and a daughter taking a road trip to pick out colleges! Perhaps it should be called "College Choosing Road Trip."
And since when is Lawrence in a film that isn't rated R, let alone G?
Sue me, I'm actually looking forward to Doomsday. It has Bob Hoskins, who is almost always good ( I still feel he was a "Guilty by association" razzie nominee for Son of the Mask), and Malcolm McDowell as a bad guy. (At least I think he's playing a bad guy). I think they both should have been nominated for Oscars: Hoskins for The Long Good Friday, and McDowell for A Clockwork Orange. ( And before anyone corrects me, I know Hoskins was a Best Actor nominee for Mona Lisa, come to think of it, I was kind of surprised that he didn't get nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Mrs. Henderson Presents)

I like the fact that The Females are both Good & Bad makes it kind of intresting althought it did remind of Mad Max and Escape From New York.
I'm looking forward to "Doomsday" as well. The main reason is that it's directed by Neill Marshall, the same guy who directed "The Descent", the scariest film since the original "Nightmare On Elm Street".

Just saw Doomsday and enjoyed it. The acting was strong for a horror movie thanks to good performances from Malcolm McDowell ( I'd have liked for there to have been more of his character in the movie, as he only shows up briefly near the end.) and especially Bob Hoskins. Both did a good job with their roles. One thing I found interesting was the number of things that reminded me of Apocalypse Now. McDowell's domain had human skulls on the outside, and when you first see him, he speaks from a shadowy area like Col. Kurtz. Of course it could be a coincidence. Anyway, it's a better horror film than almost every horror film I saw last year.

agreed, at least since Austin Powers.

I wonder if the Writers Strike is the reason why we have WWAAAAYY too many movies coming out during the first part of this year? I recall the studios did stockpile a bunch of scripts before the strike. Still, can't they just sit on them for a few years and slowly dole them out, or do they have just a certain amount of time to make the film?
In any case, the box office per movie is down, and it's not just because there's way too many movies that stink (so many, that even the Razzie list has gotten particular, or else Strange Wilderness, Untraceable and College Road Trip would be in contention, and I still feel they should be). Even the good and popular Cloverfield has yet to break $80 million, let alone $100 million--it lost money. Horton Hears A Who! is the first actual good hit movie this year (I thought it was a shoo-in for a Razzie nomination before it came out, too, based on what I saw beforehand--I was wrong).
Opinion--although the quality of movies this year is nowhere near as bad as the worst movies of 2006, it seems we've hit a dead spot in the cinematic ocean this year.
The silver lining -- all these movies coming out are preventing 5 Uwe Boll films made during 2007 and 2008 from reaching the silver screen -- Postal, They Wait, Seed, Far Cry and Tunnel Rats.
