The Best and Worst Films of 2008....so far!

49

By DJ Funktual

 

Okay we're gonna try something different today.

Normally, I would never do an incomplete list. A usually films needs time to bang around my head awhile before I truly know what I think of it. For example, sometimes I think I love a film, go buy the DVD and months later I don't remember it well. Meanwhile there are other films that I don't think I like initially but have scenes in it that I can't get out of my head, and prove to have more relevance.

Listed from Best to Worst to Unwatchable.

Not too sure what to make of this. I was expecting a list of films that you felt were good and a list that you felt were bad. But these are just a list of films. Could you get deeper?

I'm so out of the loop!  The only movie I've seen on your list is WALL*E - becasue I downloaded it - and a couple of the horror flicks.  But there are many from your list I WANT to see.  I've got to see GET SMART just because I was a huge fan of the original Mel Brooks series - and Steve carell, of course.  And, I've haven't even heard about the ones from your "look forward" list.

As a big fan of both the original series and Steve carell I can tell you this.

It was a brainless pile of dogshit.

Really? That's disappointing... but I've got to rent it anyway, you know?

The fact that Funny Games is rated so high, negates this whole list for me.

I liked Get Smart, I chuckled. Teeth was Great, it was on the bottom of your list which I think meant you thought it was bad.

For the movies you look forward to seeing...Postal was brutally bad, Stuck was prett original ad inventive, Hamlet 2 ate an ass, the promotion was alright (not great) and how to lose friends and alienate people was decent.

I think Be Kind Rewind should be lower...that was just painful. I must admit Mad Money has become a guilty pleasure of mine. Sort of like Waterworld.
