Beyond the Books: Worst Movies


This week's topic:  The Worst Movies I Have Ever Seen

Oh man, oh man!  I love movies.  Like, love them!  But, boy, have I seen some doozies!  Here are a few that rank among the absolute worst I've seen:

Maybe I would appreciate this film more now, but when I first saw it as a child I hated it...with a passion.  Parts of it scared me.  Parts of it were so freakin' boring.  I didn't like it one bit.  Because of these reasons I have yet to bring myself to watch it again.

I don't know why I hate this movie, but I do.  Maybe it's Andie MacDowell...or John Travolta in this particular role...

I like Jack Black.  I dislike Gwyneth Paltrow.  Plus, this movie is so offensive on so many levels that I just can't take it.  Bad movie!

A lot of people love this movie and, while it has some great scenes (peanut butter), it's overall pretty bad.  It's awful that I find the bus scene hilarious. 

Hands down, the worst Adam Sandler movie; and there have been some bad ones.  This one is just ridiculous and so outrageous.  Please, if you haven't seen it, don't waste your time.  If you've already seen it, I'm sorry!

I hate this movie.  I can't exactly pinpoint the reason why this particular film is so bad, but it grates on my last nerve.  Maybe it's because it's a remake of a German film called Wings of Desire and that film is brilliant.  I don't know.
 
Badly done, Hollywood!  You took a quickly-paced, thrilling book with a STRONG female character and turned it into a Tom Hanks-hero movie.  No!  And I like Tom Hanks!  Boo!!

So...what are some of the worst movies you've ever seen?

    I totally agree on most of these. I didn't mind Michael, but I kept waiting for it to get better and it was just meh. I absolutely HATED City of Angels and I think someone was on LSD when they madecFantasia, or you have to be on LSD to understand it!

      Agreed in regards to Michael. Thanks for visiting, Elizabeth!

    I agree with everything on your list, except Shallow Hal. I thought it was funny, but I admit it was crude humor. Great list!
    Thanks for playing along this week!

      It was funny, but overall I didn't enjoy it very much. I think JB has made smarter movies across the board. I think the main thing that bothers me about it is GP. She grates on my nerves...

    I never did see Shallow Hal, but the entire premise was a big turno ff to me. Movies like that aren't funny at all to me. I didn't hate City of Angels, but I didn't especially care for it. Great soundtrack though. I wouldn't have thought of Fantasia, but it wasn't one I enjoyed either.

    Great list!

      Yes, CofA has a pretty stellar soundtrack! I think a lot of the songs got old quickly because they were way overplayed, but looking back it's a strong album for sure. Thanks for visiting :)

    This is a great list and I'll have to agree with you on most of these. Fantasia is boring and I'm not a John Travolta fan. I hated how City of Angels ended!

      Agreed on all of the above...aside from not being a John Travolta fan. I don't necessarily dislike him. Thanks for visiting, Kathy!

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedb...

Bianca's Vineyard (Book #13)

Image
I've had Teresa Neumann's Bianca's Vineyard for a while now, thanks to my grandmother, but have been skipping over it to read other books.  I don't know why I did this because it was actually a great read.  Neumann is a local author who decided to write a novel about family history.  The majority of the novel is based on factual evidence and personal family interviews.  There is one portion, which I won't give away, that is only speculated at by Neumann, but what she does choose to speculate is a highly probably scenario. The book is written in a way that suggests it is being told to the reader, as well as Egisto's son and his wife, through flashbacks from Bianca in her 80's.  We know this because the font and boldness of these sections gives personal reflection from Bianca and foreshadows what she will eventually reveal.  She takes you back to the beginning of what changed the course for this family, mainly one brother of the Bertozzi family moving to A...
