Heidi — thought “Zack” was highly overrated by some … but I could watch Elizabeth Banks read the phone book for two hours …

I would add “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and “Zack & Miri make a Porno.” I would prefer to have a stick jammed in my eye repeatedly than having to sit through either of those movies again.

What’s most disturbing to me is the complete lack of honesty in film marketing. What other industry would be allowed to put forth such misleading claims? Whatever happened to truth in advertising?

88 minutes was extremely bad. I’ve had my fill of Pacino and apparently so has the camera. Could thet get any more bad shots of an aging actor than in 88 minutes? Is it possible for him to act like anyone but himself? Since Scareface, it has all been downhill for him IMO.

Can’t disagree, Nick. What a complete waste … and it still burns me that the film made buckets of money. That was the plan, wasn’t it? Audiences will buy any Indy sequel, so we can go through the motions and pick up a paycheck. I expect that behavior from Lucas … but not from Spielberg.

My choice as worst film goes to Indiana Jones. While there probably were “worse” movies made this year, it was definitely the most disappointed I’ve ever been in a movie in my life. I kept my expectations low, but that didn’t help. Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford knew the anticipation behind the film was great, and to deliver that final product to the audience was a little insulting.

Good stuff, Carlos … and yeah, there’s a bizarre kind of talent at work that allows you to direct a turkey like “Lady in the Water!”

There used to be a program at work that offered a quotation to ponder every day. Even back when he was entertaining, every time something came up about genius without culture is worthless, genius without the chops gets boring, I would think of Shyamalan. Loved the first two (hit) movies, but my word the ideas were childish. The ending of “6th Sense” took me be surprise simply because every fantasy magazine I have ever submitted to forbids exactly that idea in the guidelines. “Signs” was “Independence Day” redone on a microscopic scale. I was one of the few people who liked “The Village” but I guessed the surprise ending in about 15 minutes. “Lady in the Pool?” It takes real talent to make a movie that unbelievably BAD. And note to movie directors: don’t stick a camera in a redhead’s face if she isn’t wearing makeup.

Pan’s Labyrinth caught me totally flat footed too, Zeluna …
