The Berry WORST Movie Summer EVER??

AS USUAL WHEN SUMMER IS WINDING DOWN, WE'RE HEARING THAT THIS IS "THE WORST YEAR for MOVIES EVER!" ...BUT IS IT REALLY??  WE'LL ADMIT THERE WAS NO LACK of RAZZIE® CONTENDERS, BUT THERE WERE SOME GOOD MOVIES AS WELL.

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE to TELL US, HOW WOULD YOU RATE SUMMER 2006, COMPARED to SUMMERS PAST??

As someone who loves a good movie, I found this summer's cinema fare incredibly depressing. I can't think of even one good movie that came out all year (among the dozens I've seen, anyway).

Why can't Hollywood make anything exciting, original and actually entertaining any more??  Thank God my Netflix membership gives me access to thousands of good old movies...

Razz, what is the secret? How do you get into the Hollywood Executive
Class, make millions of dollars, and green light bomb after bomb?

I think one of the most common carps most of us have about the product being turned out by contemporary Hollywood is the lack of originality. That is precisely why I enjoyed Prairie Home Companion and Little Miss Sunshine. Both were different than the standard fare, particulary the usual action oriented summer blockbusters.

Biggest rip-off so Far?

Try watching Material Girls for 2 hours and then tell me if Hilary Duff does not deserve to booted off from the silver screen

Hey, John, guys...

My Wrap-up:

Monster House was a SMASH; my first 3-D film I went to, was just the film
that will especially be a treat for Halloween come this October for the
kiddies. I hope Sony gives out the DVD in the 3-D version for me to own.

I really was wowed seeing "Superman" 'return' to the silver screen the way
Bryan Singer directed it, and newcomer Brandon Routh carrying the spirits
of Christopher Reeve and the characters of Kent/Superman in him, while
Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor and Kate Bosworth as Lois hold their own,
making their characters fulfilling as possible (at least more credit should
go to Spacey). I hope it makes it past $200 million real soon, even
though it's inching it's way there.

X-Men 3 did what the comic book franchise did to get past $200 million
and more. Visually entertaining, although I wish Brett Ratner and the
screenwriters wouldn't have spent more on the effects and have spent
more time on the storyline.

And "MI:3" was fine-tuned with exceptional performances, but only made
$130 million at the box office. I care to take it the only fault here was to
look no further than Cruise's behavior and his fault his relationship with
Paramount's deal gone bust. Don't know what to say, but Tom Cruise
better start getting his act together, or his relationship with not just all of
Hollywood, but with the studios he works with and the stars will really fall
apart...

"Pirates: Dead Man's Chest" was truly worth the $400 Million and more it
earned and worth both me and my mom's time. I guessed the surprise
ending right to the credits' distribution lines and my mom just loves
Johnny Depp's character Captain Jack Sparrow all to pieces, believe me!
Can't wait to get the second film on 2-disc and take my mom to the final
installment next summer.
Let's just PRAY that scriptwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio and director
Gore Verbinski DON'T screw up the finale like the Matrix trilogy, and
others like it have done before!

The films I avoided were "The Da Vinci Code," "Little Man."

Overall the 2006 Summer was was more of what I would have classified as a "Big Disappointment, witch had a lot of potential". I hate to say it but Mission Impossible III I think pretty much set the tone for most of the Summer. The sure fired choices barely ended up paying their production cost, and the ones that looked like Razzie contenders ended coming out on top. Just a lot of mixed feeling on the whole "Summer of 2006".

I think studios are taking into consideration that DVD are making more money than the box office. Although I can't figure out why they haven't just lowered the ticket price.
