  1. Troll 2 - just as gloriously stupid as its reputation. "Nilbog! It's 'goblin' spelled backward! This is their kingdom!"
  2. The Garbage Pail Kids. The third worst movie I've seen in life. Also, The Room, which is somewhere in the bottom 15, despite its unintentional hilarity. "YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LISA!"
  3. Alone in the Dark. It lived down to its reputation - seriously, it starts with a exposition text scroll that lasts for 90 seconds while Uwe Boll reads it aloud to us.
  4. The Tod Browning/Bela Lugosi Dracula, which frankly kinda sucked. Lazy direction (like Browning was filming a stage play instead of doing anything creative with camera angles or editing), an ineptly written screenplay (which creates plot holes that weren't in the book), and acting that tends to be hammy and/or wooden.
  5. Airborne. Completely bland, but worth it for the bit where Seth Green's character finishes telling a story with "My dad shot her. It was weird," with no context whatsoever.
  6. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls.
  7. Kickassia, wihch was hilarious. Some highlights: That Chick With The Goggles: [over the phone] Hello. That Chick With The Goggles. Nostalgia Critic: Goggles? It's time. That Chick With The Goggles: It is? Nostalgia Critic: Yes. We are taking over Molossia! That Chick With The Goggles: We're taking over Molossia? Nostalgia Critic: I know, right? So get your stuff together and come down to... That Chick With The Goggles: Oh, by the way, this has been an answering machine the whole time. Leave your message after the beep. Nostalgia Critic: [answering phone] Hello? Angry Joe: I'm behind you one hundred and ten percent, Critic! Any Chik-Fil-A's refusing to serve us delicious nuggets on Sundays from here on out shall be blown sky high! Nostalgia Critic: What are you talking about? Angry Joe: Wait, what are YOU talking about? Nostalgia Critic: The invasion of Molossia! Angry Joe: ...What is Molossia? Nostalgia Critic: It's okay, I booked everybody a hotel room. [Cut to a shot of everyone crammed inside a hotel room] Phelous: Well gee, I didn't see that one coming. Phelous: Hey guys, uh, I got a idea. This might seem like a shot in the dark, but what if we'd just used weapons? Nostalgia Critic: Nah, nah, it's a terrible idea. [beat] Nostalgia Critic: Wait! I have an idea! Phelous: Gee, does it involve using weapons? Nostalgia Critic: It involves using weapons! Cinema Snob: You're out of order, they're out of order! The whole system is out of order! Nostalgia Critic: I am the system! Cinema Snob: I know you're the system! That's my point! Nostalgia Critic: I know it's your point! It's just when you say that I'm out of order and the system's out of order it's kind of redundant! Cinema Snob: Look, I'll have a talk with the Critic, see if any of this is true. Paw: What if he suspects us going behind his back? Cinema Snob: He won't suspect us. I'll put it very delicately. [scene cuts to Snob talking to Critic] Cinema Snob: Everybody thinks you're nuts. Dr. Insano: Your superconductory electromagnetism is no match for my science! Nostalgia Critic: It is science! Dr. Insano: But I'm science-ier! Nostalgia Critic: Wait! I have an idea! Phelous: Really? What is it? Nostalgia Critic: The idea... involves... Phelous: You. Nostalgia Critic: Me... um... Phelous: Getting. Nostalgia Critic: Getting... I... uh... Phelous: Your ass kicked. Nostalgia Critic: My ass kicked. Me getting my ass kicked. Oh, wait. Phelous: Too late.
  8. Casino Royale. After watching Skyfall on Thursday I needed to see more Judi Dench.
  9. Welcome to the Rileys - Kristen Stewart's best performance since 2004.
  10. The Little Mermaid - still one of my favourite Disney Animated Canon movies, up there with Tangled, Mulan and maybe Aladdin.
  11. Perfect Blue. I am not sleeping tonight.
  12. Manhunter - not as good as Red Dragon, definitely not as good as The Silence of the Lambs. William Peterson was good though.
  13. Street Fighter. Strictly for the memes, I was somewhat amused to see Dr. Sid Walker playing Carlos Blanka.
  14. Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance. Every bit as cool and mindblowing as the TV series.
  15. V For Vendetta. No, the timing is not a coincidence.
  16. Tales From Earthsea. It did nothing for me, though I can't deny Goro Miyazaki has potential.
  17. Coraline, which was excellent - very Miyazaki-esque.
  18. Eh, it's no worse than Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Escape From the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes or Battle For the Planet of the Apes. Amazing effects - you really believed monkeys could have meetings.
  19. Death Note: The Last Name - certainly does justice to the manga.
  20. Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone - even better than my expectations, and possibly better than NGE.
  21. Shattered Glass. Hayden Christensen plays disgraced journalist and pathological liar Stephen Glass - better than you might expect.
  22. The Cat Returns. Possibly the most disappointing Studio Ghibli film I've seen yet. Uninspired story, poor pacing, boring characters (except for the Baron and maybe Muta) and I just plain did not like Haru's character design, compared to, say, Chihiro or San. (Except maybe after her catgirl transformation (make of that what you will). I did like a few scenes, and maybe in Miyazaki's hands it could have lived up to its potential.
  23. Spirited Away. The ending brought me to tears, just as it did Chihiro.
  24. The Wicker Man, Nicolas Cage version. Not quite as inept as I'd expected, but still not so much scary as unintentionally hilarious. Unfortunately, my DVD copy didn't have the scene.
  25. Toy Story 1 and 2. And thankfully Channel 7 left the blooper reel alone. Also, The Big Sleep. I still don't know who killed Owen Taylor.
