Member Discussion of 2013 LIST...

I just noticed that the past Worst Picks of the Week, Dead Man Down and The Call, were both produced by WWE Studios. Yes, the wrestling company.

I was wondering "why would they be helping those films?", and then it hit me. I guess in the contract, if they want funding, they also have to cast one of their wrestlers in the movie. In Dead Man Down, the wrestler was Wade Barrett. In The Call, the wrestler was David Otunga.

You guys sure you don't want to bring back Worst New Star?



So with this week coming to a close, we have the next week, and it will be kind of tough.

Admission is standing at 50% on Rotten Tomatoes right now, but that is not bad enough. Love and Honor looks too boring to really be considered. The Croods is an animated which we don't really pick on as much, and early reviews for that have been positive so far.

So you would think that the Worst Pick of the Week is Olympus Has Fallen, the movie that is basically Die Hard in the White House. Most of the cast seems pretty solid, and the director has done good films before. It is the star, Gerard Butler, that makes me think badly of this movie. Granted, it is a really silly concept to begin with, but Razzie nominated Gerard Butler has been starring in flop after flop after flop for the past few years. Heck, he was in Movie 43, as TWO Leprechauns no less*. There is also the fact that this is NOT the only movie coming out this year to have a similar concept. We are also getting White House Down later on, starring Channing Tatum and directed by Razzie nominated Roland Emmerich. So again, this looks like a prime Razzie contender. There's potential competition, however.

There's another movie being released this week. It is somewhat of a small movie so you might have not noticed it, but when you do know about, you might end up thinking "Wow. Movie 43 is slightly tolerable by comparison."

The movie is called InAPPropriate Comedy, and yes, they emphasize the APP part of the word. Like Movie 43, it is basically a bunch of intentionally stupid and offensive skits shoved into one movie. Unlike Movie 43 though, this has only one star that makes you think "Why did he agree to this?" I'll get to who in a moment. We have Razzie winners Rob Schneider (Apparently doing TWO roles) and Lindsay Lohan in this. Already there's a problem. Razzie nominated Michelle Rodriguez is in this, but she was also in an Uwe Boll movie so that is not too surprising. No, the man that will get people pulling their hair out is Adrien Brody, whom is playing a character named "Filthy Harry". What the hey made him think this was a good career choice? Did he really think that this is the comedy to branch out in? He even helped write this piece of trash, making me lose tons of faith in him. Also someone that really makes a case as to why Worst New Star should be brought back is Ari Shaffir. He basically is playing a Racist, making the most obvious race jokes imaginable. You can't even saying he's doing it because the script said so, because he is one of the writers. Sickening...

Now who's brilliant idea was it to make this happen? Believe it or not, it was the Sham Wow Guy, Vince Offer (Who is technically a Razzie winner since he was part of the cast of Jack & Jill.) Believe or not, this ISN'T the first time he's done this. He made a similar crappy movie called The Underground Comedy Movie, all the way back in 1999 before he was known as the Sham Wow Guy. Despite being an unknown then, he managed to get people like Slash, Gena Lee Nolin, Karen Black, Razzie nominated Angelyne, Joey Buttafuoco, Ant, and Oscar nominated Michael Clarke Duncan to all act in it. Like that movie, he is also writing, directing, and starring in it, so no wonder he agreed to appear in Jack & Jill. You don't believe that it could be Worse than Movie 43, take a look (I know I've posted the trailer already, but you really need to understand how putrid it is):



The only problem is I do not have the confirmation that this movie will be released "correctly" in order to be eligible, because s*** like this needs to stop.

Headrazz, if you are reading this, please spare us the suspense and tell us if InAPPropriate Comedy is eligible?

Mbh: Regarding the biopic JOBS with Ashton Kutcher: It has been indefinitely delayed. Here's the LINK for The Hollywood Reporter item about it... 

OLYMPUS's R.T. rating has started off at 65%.

Oh good, I was starting to miss those times when there were two Worst of the Weeks. You might want to keep your eye on The Host as well. Since there are no obvious picks the week after (You'd think Evil Dead would the pick, but many early reviews have been pretty positive), you can make the forum for The Host then.

UPDATE from Head RAZZberry: When I updated the 2013 Eligible Releases List over the weekend, the Los Angeles Times' Sunday listing of movies opening this Friday in L.A. inadvertently left out a title that sure looked like a RAZZIE® Contender: IN-APP-ROPRIATE COMEDY (IMDb LINK). In their up-dated/later-in-the-week "Opening This Weekend" list, the Times did include it -- meaning it does qualify for our consideration after all. 

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: I wasn't going to put up a Forum for IN-APP-PROPRIATE COMEDY instead of G.I. JOE: RETALIATION or the Tyler Perry movie next week -- I was going to do it in advance of Friday, because I wasn't aware the film even qualified for consideration until yesterday. 

As of 6:20pm/EST, there are now FOUR reviews of In-APP-propriate Comedy at RT -- and they're (surprise!) all viciously negative. Here's the LINK to see for yourself.
