January 1st thru December 31st:  519 Titles

KEY:

a = Animated

d = Documentary

f = Foreign Film

R = REMAKE

S = SEQUEL  

"Thr3e" received a very limited platform release in about 400 theaters, but sucked so bad (being a blatant SAW rip-off).

I'm surprised it's not on the list, as it was released earlier this year.

Response from Head RAZZberry: I just added THR3E to the Complete List. Here's a http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1173774-thr3e/ - LINK to check out reviews for it on Rotten Tomatoes -- It's got a minuscule 9% Approval Rating, but only 35 critics filed reviews. Although, under our rules, it does qualify as being RAZZIE eligible, I'm not sure enough people will have will have seen it to make it a contender for 2007...

I would also say Firehouse Dog and Delta Frace.

Full Of It could also be part of that list it came out today in limited release look like Big Fat Liar to me, or every other comedy where a Nerd goes from Geek To Cool Dude.

Yea consider Zodiac got 4 Star in my Local New Paper today also what about Razzing Premonition starring http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000113/ - Sandra Bullock  it comes out next Friday.

You could also throw Skinwalkers into The List. Here's a http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809266194/info - LINK  to view The Trailer for Skinwalkers...

I found another Razzie movie to add to our list: Nancy Drew. The Trailer looks like Agent Cody Banks meets Clueless meets Harriet the Spy. Here's a http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809417071/trailer - LINK to view the Trailer.

It will be Razzed in time.  A Killer Movie Reviews review also has premonitions about this movie.

"Blithely unfettered by internal logic, exhibiting the pacing of a banana slug, and boasting a heroine who makes Betty Crocker seem like a radical feminist, PREMONITION is exactly the reason that the Razzie Awards exist. "

You guys are thinking about nominating an average movie like forum_topics.asp?FID=180 - THE ULTIMATE GIFT from the Fox Faith company, but not forum_topics.asp?FID=180 - THR3E ?? Something’s really messed up.

Even though the movie isn’t included in the lineup of possible nominees, I’m going ahead to campaign and list what awards it should get next year.
WORST MOVIE
WORST ACTOR - MARC BLUCAS
WORST ACTRESS - JUSTINE WADDELL
WORST SCREEN COUPLE - MARC BLUCAS AND HIS “ALTER-EGOS”
WORST SUPPORTING ACTOR - KEVIN DOWNES (a.k.a. Kirk Cameron’s look-a-like)
WORST SUPPORTING ACTRESS - LAURA JORDAN
WORST REMAKE OR RIP-OFF
WORST SCREENPLAY
WORST DIRECTOR - ROBBY HENSON

The movie comes out on DVD April 24 by the way, if you guys want to see how extremely bad this movie is, or RIPS its material from.

Response from Head RAZZberry: I did some quick research on THR3E, which was only given limited release the first few weeks of this year. Its total box office, according to http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=thr3e.htm - B.O. MoJo , was just over $1 million, but 51 visitors to that site rated the film a "B." 348 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486028/ - IMDb users , on the other hand, gave it a 5.2 out of 10. Over at RT,  http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/thr3e/ - THR3E  has an overall 9% Approval rating (with only 35 reviews posted). Bottom Line: THR3E could be a RAZZIE contender, but was not widely enough disdtributed or seen to have come to our Members' attention. Guess we'll have to wait 'till it comes out on video next month and check it out then...

With all due respect, it's only March, and no one is seriously thinking about nominating anything as of this date. Right now, everyone is simply in the discussion phase. At this time last year, the film Benchwarmers was receiving considerable discussion on this site, yet it did not ultimately receive a single Razzie nomination.

Response from Head RAZZberry: Slight correction -- BENCHWARMERS did earn Rob Schneider a Worst Actor nomination (though it was a joint nom for both his baseball bomb and his horrid cameo in LITTLE MAN)... 

I found the First Look Studios Website (they brought us 2005 Razzie "winner" Dirty Love). They're releasing a film called Smiley Face on 4/20/07. It stars Anna Faris (Scary Movie 1, 2, 3 & 4, Lost In Translation) Adam Brody (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Thank You For Smoking) and John Krasinski (The Holiday, Dreamgirls, Jarhead). The Premise is below, as well as a LINK to The Film's Official Site. It sounds like it could be a Rip Off of Half Baked...

"Jane F., an unsuccessful slacker actress, is having a bad day. And it’s getting more outrageous and comically surreal by the minute. Smiley Face is a freewheeling, cinematically stylized After Hours for the new millennium. Jane’s misadventures begin when she treats herself to a batch of cupcakes left unattended by her psycho roommate (Danny Masterson) that prove not as innocent as they appear, Soon, she is trying to cross town so she can repay an unforgiving drug dealer (Adam Brody), attend an audition, and somehow replace the precious cupcakes. Bumming a ride from her roommate’s friend (John Krasinski) - who is totally infatuated with her – she sets out on a long, strange trip. And when the original manuscript of the Communist Manifesto falls into her hands, things really get out of control."

I have a potentially mind-bottling question: will Blades of Glory be added to the Razzie contenders?

I admit that I did enjoy Talladega Nights (and so did the crix), but I am concerned that BoG is another bewitching movie.

...starring Will Ferrell.

You can also add Red Line to The List and to The Ballot for Worst Rip-Off / Remake (of Fast & The Furious & Torque). Here's a link to view The Official Site & Trailer:

I started a discussion about Peaceful Warrior, to which Universal is giving away free tickets. Here's a http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1793&KW=Even+for+Free - LINK ... 

I agree. There's still plenty of time for the worst of the worst to rear their ugly heads. Doesnt Michael Bay have three or four films pending release in 2007?

You guys are thinking about nominating an average movie like forum_topics.asp?FID=180 - THE ULTIMATE GIFT from the Fox Faith company, but not forum_topics.asp?FID=180 - THR3E ?? Something’s really messed up.

It looks like we are going to have The Three Worst Movies Of The Weak with The Are We Done Yet aka (Are We Doing The Money Pit)

The Firehouse Dog

The Weaping

Personally, being a Razzie masochist, I can't wait to see Jessica Simpson in "Blonde Ambition"...Wow, does that look AWFUL!!

Here's a http://www.moviesonline.ca/TheFeed/index.php?id=blondeambition_trailer - LINK to check out the ultra-lame trailer for it...

Wow! What a great way to throw her own song into The Trailer! This movie will have our favorite Jessica up for another Razzie, and I'd guess Luke may have to join her! 

I must express my Berry Great Disappointment about something: We're halfway through 2007 and there's still not one "Enjoyably Bad" RAZZIE Contender. Plenty o' Berry Sucky Crap, but nothing so far that's Laugh-Out-Loud-at-the-Film's-Expense FUNNY.

Here's hoping Jessica Simpson in BLONDE AMBITION (if it ever gets released) may fill the bill. Here's a http://www.moviesonline.ca/TheFeed/index.php?id=blondeambition_trailer - LINK to check out the trailer for it... 

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! 

Why isn't J.Lo's latest film Bordertown in the list of 2007 releases. I think J.Lo did a great job in that film, but, still heard she fired some crewmembers. 

Response from Head RAZZberry: We only list titles once they've actually been released here in New York and/or LA. BORDFERTOWN, which appears to have played in European theatres already (IMDb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445935/releaseinfo - LINK ) is not set to debut here in the US until August 31. When (and if) it does get released in America, we'll add it to our list... 

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...

The one good thing about my idol Sylvester Stallone not having any movies out this year: You guys can't Razz him (as I know you would no matter what the quality of his film)...

Response from Head RAZZberry: Yo, #1 Sly Fan -- Did you fail to notice that for 2006, we not only didn't nominate Our Awl Time Cahm-Peen Sly for a single RAZZIE for ROCKY BALBOA, but at the beginning of our ceremonies, I publicly acknowledged that he had, for the first time in about a quarter century, made something that actually wasn't eminently RAZZ-able. As for next year's JOHN RAMBO, though, I gotta admit...it looks awfully promising!

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

You should also list Lindsay Lohan for http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=192" target=_blank onclick="this.href=FCxthis.href; - GEORGIA RULE

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 ( http://www.usmagazine.com/node/10754 - 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 ( http://www.moviesonline.ca/TheFeed/index.php?id=blondeambition_trailer - 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... 

I noticed that Hot Rod was at only 38% at Rotten Tomatoes. I thought from The Trailer it looked like a funny Movie. Today I saw "The Bourne Ultimatum" with my Dad. It was and that was a lot of fun. Definitely check it out this weekend! 

So what happens in terms of Jessica Simpson getting a Worst Actress nomination this year if "Blonde Ambition" goes directo-to-DVD??

Response from Head RAZZberry: Our rules, which are based on those of the Academy Awards, clearly state that a film MUST receive a theatrical release in order to be considered eligible for our awards. If Simpson's movie winds up NOT being released in theatres (however terrible it may be) that DOES mean it's not eligible for RAZZIE nominations. But having recently seen Lindsay Lohan in the gut-bustingly funny/bad I KNOW WHO KILLED ME, I'd have to say Lohan should be awfully hard to beat, so this probably wasn't Simpson's year to take Worst Actress anyway... 

I just don't see why so many people like these movies. All they are is just Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker making tired and lame racial jokes and doing really unfunny slap-sticky action moves. Oh, they also do a lot of terrible dancing and singing, too. These movies are s-o-o-o-o-o-o over-rated!    

Can you just put ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS on there in advance, since we all know it's gonna suck? http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809847896/video/3558392/20070802/79/3558392-1000-flash-s.40178205-,3558392-100-flash-s.40178195-,3558392-300-flash-s.40178197-,3558392-100-wmv-s.40178165-,3558392-1000-wmv-s.40178191-,3558392-300-wmv-s.40178174-,3558392-700-wmv-s.40178183-,3558392-700-flash-s.40178202-,3558391-6800-qtv-s.40178214-,3558391-10300-qtv-s.40178217-,3558391-2700-qtv-s.40178211- - LINK

Response from Head RAZZberry: If you're asking can I add CHIPMUNKS to the List of Eligible Titles this far ahead of its theatrical release, the answer would have to be "No."  The list is up-dated on a weekly basis, and is intended eventually to be used by our Voting Members to assist them in recalling all of a given year's movies. As a policy, I only add films to the list about 5 days prior to their actual release date, since at that point, advertising for the film has begun, theatres are booked and their actually being released is pretty much a given. If you look at what recently happened with both http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2037&PN=1 - SKINWALKERS (which was delayed a week or two at the last minute) and Jessica Simpson in BLONDE AMBITION (which has had several publicized release dates and has yet to actually play in theatres) you can hopefully understand the policy. According to Box Office MoJo, http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=alvinandthechipmunks.htm - CHIPMUNKS is now set for release on December 14, so look for it to appear on the Eligible Titles List around December 10.

If your question was whether we can add CHIPMUNKS to our Forum discussions now, I may do so this coming week... 

I'm very surprised that The Nanny Diaries isn't on here yet.  I think I'll catch that picture and post how I feel about it.

I have seen http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0462396/ - The Last Legion .  Every scene in that movie could be found in some other movie, and it shows.  Colin Firth just doesn't come through.  Aishwarya Rai is far more believable when fighting than Keira Knightley was in Pirates 3.  I hope Rai continues to grow outside of Bollywood.  Ben Kingsley again demonstrates his great talents in a movie that is far beneath him.  Most of the Roman soldiers aren't credible, although I liked http://us.imdb.com/name/nm1996829/bio - Nonso Anozie .  There are a few groans, especially when Firth's and Rai's characters start hitting on each other and what happens with the sword at the end of the movie.  If I had to compare it to anything, I'd say it was a better Eragon, except it had a few groans thrown in.  Too much of what we've seen before not done anywhere near as well.  I suggest Razzie noms to the Butterworths for their screenpaly, to Firth and Kingsley for sure, and if I can figure out who the skinny Roman soldier was, give him one, too. 

I think "Mr. Bean's Holiday" should be considered for WORST ACTOR. It looks terrible!!!

Why isn't Death Sentence highlighted?  That movie looks like balls. 

Response from Head RAZZBerry: As of Labor Day morning, http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=218 - DEATH SENTENCE is listed on our Forum. here's a http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=218 - LINK to the main Forum page for it... 

The movie is called "Good Luck Chuck".

Huh?  Looking at the RT reviews, I can't tell if this is called The Brothers Solomon or Dumb and Dumbererest.  Worst Remake/Ripoff candidate in the works?  Sounds like it.

It has to be The Brothers Solomon.  http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/brothers_solomon/ - RT has it at 6% , and 0% for the handful of cream of the crop critics that have reviewed it.  Based on the reviews, Solomon must have disowned these boys.

With the releases during some weeks, it's a clear choice. 

I saw "Mr. Bean's Holiday" tonight, and I would have to agree that it should get some Razzie consideration for both Worst Picture and Worst Actor for Atkinson. What a steaming pile! While acknowledging that the critics haven't been that cruel to it at R.T., I can't figure out why.

Admittedly, I was a pretty big fan of Mr. Bean's BBC TV show, but more than 20 minutes of this character gets terribly old, terribly quick. I can demonstrate just how awful this movie really was by noting that there were about 20 eight year-olds in the audience, and I didn't hear any of them laugh even once. There wasn't more than a pained chuckle or two from anyone one else in the audience. It was just a terrible movie.

2007 is by far the worst year for films. Even worse than 2005.

I saw trailer for Iron Man looks like it could be a fun Movie to watch here the link below also you must have quicktime installed to view it.  http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/ironman/ - http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/ironman/

What about 2006?  You say Epic Movie, I say Date Movie, and then I'll throw in Van Wilder 2: the Rise of Taj, Doogal, Crossover, Phat Girlz, Let's Go to Prison, Zoom, Grandma's Boy, Turistas, Material Girls, Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties and Ultraviolet to make it an even dozen.  The competition for worst was so bad last year, only four out of those twelve managed to get nominations.  Snakes on a Plane wasn't even nominated!  That doesn't even begin to touch BloodRayne, Little Man or worst picture winner Basic Instinct 2, a movie for which the Razzies were surely brought into existence.

I feel 2006 was a watershed of the worst.  I look at 2007 so far, and none of the movies seem to reek as badly as the movies from 2006.

If you had to pick five movies that should be nominated for Worst Picture of 2007, what five would you pick? My five picks are:

1) Wild Hogs

2) Code Name: The Cleaner

3) Hitcher

4) Number 23

5) Dead Silence

Right now, I'd pick Epic Movie, Funny Money (you haven't seen the worst until you've seen that one--Chevy Chase, what were you thinking?!), I Know Who Killed Me, Blood & Chocolate and, in a couple of weeks, The Game Plan.  If I had to drop out Funny Money, I'd choose Daddy Day Camp.

My Predix So Far for Picture, Actor, & Actress...

Worst Picture: Norbit

Others - The Brothers Solomon, I Know Who Killed Me, Epic Movie, Perfect Stranger, Daddy Day Camp, D.O.A., Evan Almighty, Code Name: The Cleaner,

Worst Actor: Eddie Murphy - Norbit

Others - Cuba Gooding Jr. (Daddy Day Camp), Cedric the Entertainer (Code Name: The Cleaner), Larry the Cable Guy (Delta Farce), Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider & Next), Adam Sandler (I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry), Jamie Kennedy (Kickin' It Old Skool), Bruce Willis (Perfect Stranger), Jim Carrey (The Number 23)

Worst Actress: Lindsay Lohan - I Know Who Killed Me & Georgia Rule

Others - Diane Keaton (Because I Said So), Eddie Murphy as Raspuita (Norbit), Halle Berry (Perfect Stranger), Sandra Bullock (Premonition), Hilary Swank (The Reaping & Freedom Writers)

Resi-Evil 3 is already on the list, but Good Luck upChuck is not there.  RT has only 6% positive reviews out of 18 critics so far. This may be another movie supporting a Worst Actress nod for Jessica Alba. 

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sydney_white/ - Rotten Tomatoes has Sydney White at a surprising 48% currently .  I would have expected the idea of sticking Snow White into modern times to suck.  Perhaps it will go down as more critiques are printed?

However, like Premonition before it, I don't think there's much chance of Good Luck Chuck recovering too much from http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/good_luck_chuck/ - its current 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes .  This week is definitely a two-fer, and I would like to see Good Luck Chuck be considered for its Razzie-ness, too.

And that's too bad.  The premise of Good Luck Chuck seems pretty good.  I would love to see a good, funny movie about a dude who becomes a good luck charm to the women who have slept with him.  It's sad when filmmakers botch a good idea.  That said, I wish they wouldn't have pointed to a Goth as the source of the hex.  I've personally known and have read about Goths, and they're different, misunderstood, definitely rub people the wrong way, but not necessarily evil, and they don't have supernatural powers.

Update -- RT has Good Luck Chuck at 3% now, and the Cream of the Crop critics have it at 0%.  With Jessica Alba sucking in both this and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Good Luck Chuck should be considered for a Razzie...or two...or three. . . .

Since several of us throughout this forum are advocating Good Luck Chuck for Razzie consideration, I thought I would link http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iKyG5GWXMCSLw9EBEG9qTd59SfiA - this Associated Press Article where Dane Cook and Jessica Alba raised $260,000 for charity at a screening of the movie in Knoxville, TN.  That's actually a good thing.  The mayor declared a "Dane Cook and Jessica Alba Day".  No word on whether he took it back after viewing the movie. . . .

And get a load of the synposis--"about a clumsy penguin-keeper who captures Cook's heart."  Uh, hello?  That's not what this movie is about.

RAZZIE® NEWS FLASH!

I just added GOOD LUCK CHUCK to our Forum. Here's the http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=223 - LINK .

Can we, at least, nominate Roman Polanski for Worst Supporting Actor? He anally raped Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Seriously, he raped them!

What's wrong with this movie?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! 

I'm going to take the high road and not make the obvious joke in response to that last post...
