What Was The Worst Movie Of 2010? [POLL]

Posted 12/27/10 10:55 am EST by in Poll


Worst Movies of 2010

Every year has its share of great movies (check out our top 10 films of the year here and vote for your fave here) and not-so-great movies... and 2010 was no exception. There were the sure-fire winners that totally failed with critics, like "The Tourist" and the reboot of "A Nightmare on Elm Street," and there were the films that never had a chance, like "Case 39" and "Furry Vengeance"... as well as, apparently, anything with Katherine Heigl and/or Josh Duhamel.

It's kind of mean to kick these flicks while they're down, so we decided to go to an outside source for some hard data. In other words, we checked out RottenTomatoes to see which flicks were the 25 lowest rated of 2010. Then we made a convenient little poll out of the 25 films to see which one you decide is the worst. Hit the jump to vote in the poll, and let us know in the comments or on Twitter which films you thought were the bottom of the barrel in 2010 (and feel free to yell at me if you disagree)!

Vampires And Laughs Highlight Our First Box Office Poll Of 2010

Posted 1/4/10 12:00 pm EST by in Box Office Poll


The first week of 2010 brings some great new possibilities for moviegoers who aren't quite ready for their fourth go-round with smash hit "Avatar." Whether you like your blood drunk or spilled, there's plenty of both in the dark new ensemble action/horror vampire flick "Daybreakers," from Michael and Peter Spierig. Ethan Hawke stars as a vampire scientist who rebels against a society ruled by a bloodsucker majority, linking up with a human survivor underground led by Willem Dafoe. It makes sense. Who's gonna argue with a guy who straps a crossbow to his shotgun?

For those who want to take a break from vampires, "Youth in Revolt" is your answer. The quirky comedy follows Nick Twisp, a young hipster-in-training played by Michael Cera. Nick has a hard time adjusting after his family moves to a trailer park... that is until he meets his new neighbor Sheeni (Portia Doubleday). She's everything Nick is looking for; too bad she's got a boyfriend. "Revolt" also features the talents of Jean Smart, Zach Galifianakis, Steve Buscemi and Ray Liotta. Read More...

Amy Adams Makes A Jump Into 'Leap Year'

Posted 10/15/08 10:23 am EST by in News


Amy AdamsEveryone's favorite redhead Amy Adams (and I don't mean that sarcastically -- who doesn't love her?) is looking to charm us senseless in a new romantic comedy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she's in talks to star in Spyglass Entertainment's "Leap Year."

Adams will play an uptight woman who travels to Dublin, Ireland to propose to her boyfriend on the leap day of February 29th. She's aiming to take advantage of an Irish tradition in which the women propose to the men on that day -- and the men have to say yes. (Is this true? If so, I'm going to plan my own trip to Dublin.) Unfortunately, bad weather (this is Ireland, after all) derails her plans, and she must rely on the help of a surly Irish innkeeper to make a last-minute, cross-country trek in order to make it to her proposal.

The script was penned by Harry Elfont and Deb Kaplan, the writing duo behind "Made of Honor" which not only boasted Adams' "Enchanted" costar, Patrick Dempsey, but a similar Celtic theme. It's as if they suspect women have a weakness for Irish and Scottish men. Whatever gave them that idea?

No director has been attached yet, but they're aiming to shoot this by February. Let's hope they also land a Adams a male costar with a real Irish brogue -- nothing ruins a movie set on the Emerald Isle faster than a fake accent.

It's your turn, readers -- looking forward to seeing Adams in another lighthearted role? Which Irish hunk would you like to see win her heart? And who's planning to travel to Dublin on the next leap year?
