Not letting this die completely! Of course not! We'll always have our 10 best and worst of the year! As always, this list is composed of films we've actually seen, not word of mouth. As it sits at this writing, we're at 78 films for the year. So here goes!
10. We Are Still Here: A weak, tepid attempt at a horror film that only petrified me in that I'll never get those precious minutes of life back.
9. Child 44: An interesting premise about child murders in Soviet era Russia that just collapses under its own slow pace.
8. Goodnight Mommy: Another horror movie expecting its twist to carry it through. Slow and ordinary, I don't get all the praise.
7. Monsters: Dark Continent: A sequel so bad, it makes the horrible original look like a masterpiece.
6. Chappie: A half assed Short Circuit, hopefully this will kill the careers of the one hit South African wonders.
5. Jupiter Ascending: A incoherent mess of a sci fi film that should have stayed on the shelf.
4. Carol: A dull drama that again is gaining praise for its subject matter. I've seen tectonic plates move faster.
3. Fantastic Four: Sure it seems trendy to bash this film, but it really was a piece of shit.
2. It Follows: Maybe the most overrated movie on the list, once again a very interesting premise done in by its wooden actors.
1. 50 Shades of Grey: There are not adjectives enough to describe how dull, boring, wooden, weak, poorly written and supremely stupid this movie is. Oh, I managed to come up with a few!
HONORABLE MENTION: Star Wars: The Force Awakens: While not really a "bad" film per say, this is far and away the most disappointing film of the year. Was so saddened.
