I am one of those perverse people who found the original Exorcist hilariously funny... So naturally, I can't wait to see what looks like an even more guffaw-ful knock-off of that film! ------------- Nobody LUVS movies more than ME! |

The Mechanic is still on my radar for its director. I hope that on January 28, both this and The Mechanic get negative reviews so you can add a forum for The Mechanic as well. The director of The Mechanic, Simon West, also directed the #11 Worst Film of 2001, Lara Croft Tomb Raider. By the way, all these exorcism films are getting on my nerves. I still haven't forgotten The Haunting of Molly Hartley (#27 on the Bottom 40 Films of 2008).------------- 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 |

| So Material Girls 2: From Prada to Nada isn't on the Razzie radar? |

The problem with From Prada to Nada is its seemingly limited release. As cvcjr13 and I have done several times, you could add a forum for it if it bombs with critics. ------------- 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 |

This would simply be the best "bad" movie of the year, if these two had an intense creepy staring contest in it.  |

Maybe, but i'll probably won't go through so much trouble. Let's just say for example that it bombs with critics. Wouldn't that automatically cause a discussion on this forum about the film which would bring it eventually on the Razzie radar. If not, to bad. I atleast mentioned it it once (or twice) to make people kind of aware of it. Which is good enough for me. |

Just to clarify: Which movie do you think will be worse? This or FROM PRADA TO NADA? Never underestimate the power of a movie that seems so bad it's good --It may actually be good! This seems good to me. I'm not one of those people who think a movie with a great actor can't suck. But I am partial about Anthony Hopkins. Anyway, the trailer seemed pretty chilling to me. I just hope it isn't too similar to http://www.razzies.com/forum/angels-demons_forum355.html - ANGELS & DEMONS . ------------- http://vits-ingthemovies.blogspot.com - http://vits-ingthemovies.blogspot.com |

I think this is worse, because as HeadRazz said, it's a once-great Oscar winning actor, just going from paycheck to paycheck.

I actually saw a trailer for 'The Rite' when I went to see '127 Hours', and I sat there after the trailer thinking 'we've got one!'.

Vits, I think From Prada to Nada looks slightly worse than The Rite but they both look awfull. I am growing kind of tired with the medias obsesion with spoiled rich girls (everything from My Super Sweet 16 to Paris Hilton). It's NOT fun to look at rich girls getting everything they want it's extremely anoying. |

Don't get me wrong, spoiled rich girls being humbled movies need to go away, but Anthony Hopkins, this man has talent and clout in Hollywood, and yet he seems to be like Nic Cage and will accept whatever screenplay is put in front of him. It's just sad to see him going from paycheck to paycheck, not caring about his performances. That is why "The Rite" is much worse. ------------- 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. |

BHB -- Shouldn't you have said "That is why i feel that "The Rite" will be much worse."? Or, after you've seen both, "That is why i feel that "The Rite" is much worse." I prefer having a discussion/conversation with someone where the other person isn't stating his opinion as fact (I didn't do that, so why should you?). Could you please try to not do that, because it kind of feels like you're forcing your opinion on us all. ------------- |

But will PRADA be a satire about the subject of spoiled rich girls, or about that subject itself?

Vits, It probably will not be. It's being marketed as Jane Austen with a latino-twist. And even if it were a satire, i still have to look at obnoxious spoiled behavior for the entire running of that movie. Anyway what do YOU think will be worse From Prad to Nada or The Rite, oh and If you think that they both look good, just say it. I won't judge you for it. |

Now that I know it won't be a satire I choose FROM PRADA TO NADA.It's very hard for me to get scared but I feel THE RITE will do it.

Actually, my statement was edited from what it originally was.
I seriously don't know why everyone gets so upset by how I word my messages. If you know that it's just my opinion, what does it matter if it comes across like it's a fact. I mean, what person doesn't live their life thinking that their personal opinions are facts? If you don't agree with what I say, then simply state why you disagree and that's all there is to it.

I too am growing kind of tired with the medias obsesion with spoiled rich girls Remember these classic quotes? "If you don't RSVP for Hell on Earth 2006, then you're a loooooserrrrr!!!" "Get out of the way, Hitler! You're ruining my entrance! GAAWWLL!!!" "Acura cake?! But I wanted a Ferrari!" "It's not about them! IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEE!!!!!"
Meanwhile, The Rite and The Mechanic are both getting "average" reviews from critics. You could be right about From Prada to Nada.

Burn, No, i wouldn't KNOW that you meant it as an opinion. I would ASUME you meant it as an opinion. The problem with stating opinions as facts is that you leave no room for the other persons arguments. I feel that the discussion then has a much more aggressive tone to it. The difference for me is that when two people are arguing while stating there opininions they have a discussion and when two people are arguing while stating there opinions as facts they have a fight. I personally believe this is because when someone questions something that for instance i see as a fact, he questions (or in my personal believe at that moment "attacks") something that i KNOW, which of course leads to a angrier response by me. When someone questions something i see as an opinion, he questions something i THINK, which makes me able to defend my thoughts in a much calmer and thought out matter. I asume if you approached opinions as opinions you would not only give others more room for a discussion, you would also give yourself more room for a discussion. So is it really so hard to adjust the wording in your posts? I am sorry that it took so long to respond. I am not a native English speaker, so i needed some time to formulate my thoughts on the subject. GTAhater, We won't know for sure untill more reviews show up. As for South Park, i havn't seen the show in a while mainly because i got a bit tired of it. |

The Rite is at 17% now on RT The Mechanic at 63% and i guess it will remain somewere near that rating (probably not a razzie contender) From Prada To Nada has no reviews yet and it probably won't get any untill the weekend starts (meaning not screened for critics) |

Okay, but "Rite" having its own forum while those other two movies don't is a tell-tale sign it's the clear winner.

I was disgusted by the grotesque scenes in the trailer and I don't think my eyes can take much more of it. RT's critical consensus says that the film's weak points are its 'dawdling pace', 'lack of chills', and 'Colin O'Donoghue's tentative performance'. What's interesting is that six of RT's Top Critics gave it a favorable review. Maybe they saw something I don't? ------------- |

That is why I think that some critics could very well be paid off by the strudios to give their movies good reviews...

I'm not so sure that's the case. One of them was Roger Ebert. ------------- |

Don't know if you care, but I ran a poll about who's the people's favorite critic. These were the results: 1)Peter Travers 7% 2)Gene Siskel 7% 3)Richard Roeper 10% 4)Roger Ebert 32% 5)Leonard Maltin 42%
What does that mean? ------------- http://vits-ingthemovies.blogspot.com - http://vits-ingthemovies.blogspot.com |

Just because he's the most famous critic in America, that doesn't mean Ebert is the perfect critic.

Really, Leonard Maltin of all people? Well, he does have one of the largest annual catalogs of every movie he has ever seen, so that would be a movie buff's dream.

This is being called Anthony Hopkins's 2nd worst movie ever after COMPANY MAN with Chris Rock. RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Apparently they've forgotten A CHANGE OF SEASONS, for which Hopkins was a Worst Actor nominee our berry first year, 1980. Here's http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080515/awards - Originally posted by BurnHollywoodBurn | Really, Leonard Maltin of all people?

I didn't vote, by the way. My favorite critics are Brett Erlich & Ellen Fox.
