From Justin To Kelly is only the beginning

As Ella has started to get a bit more mobile, today I spent some time baby-proofing the house. I put latches on the low cabinets, tied up loose cords, and inserted safety plugs into the electrical outlets. As I was bolting the DVD rack to the wall I realized how many crappy movies I have in my collection. Now granted some of them I received free when I bought my first DVD player in 1998 for $700 (Lost in Space, Basic Instinct, Batman and Robin). Yet others I can't blame on anyone else except me. I mean at some point paying $17.98 for Never Been Kissed must have seemed like a good idea. So I've thumbed through some of my more questionable selections and chosen the top ten worst movies that I have actually spent my hard earned money to buy. Now this list could have been much longer but I've trimmed it down. In other words, you got lucky this time Road Trip. So here we go in no particular order:

  1. Bounce - My toilet and I have more chemistry than Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow in this dreadful melodrama.
  2. The Big Hit - This Mark Wahlberg action film should have been called The Big Miss, and that terrible pun right there is better than any dialogue youll find in the movie.
  3. Meet Joe Black - I still remember this Brad Pitt movie as the first movie I ever fell asleep during in a theater and it was a 3:30 matinee.
  4. Loser - I couldnt have come up with a more appropriate title for this Jason Biggs college "comedy."
  5. 40 Days and 40 Nights - When the sight of Josh Hartnett's throbbing neck mole is more exciting than Shannyn Sossamon getting off with an orchid you know you have a problem.
  6. Bean - Now I love Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean in his 25 minute episodes but stretched to 91 minutes and paired with Burt Reynolds the comedy doesn't translate.
  7. The Story of Us - Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer star as parents on the verge of a divorce who are so annoying that you can't help but root for them to just go through with it already and let us all be better off.
  8. The Man in the Iron Mask - Leonardo DiCaprio followed up Titanic with this piece of crap that is so bad that you wish the old lady would have thrown it overboard instead of the diamond necklace.
  9. Bulletproof - This Adam Sandler/Damon Wayons action comedy makes Billy Madison look like Sense and Sensibility.
  10. Americas Sweethearts - As much as I love Julia the best part of this movie is when the screen goes dark and the credits begin creeping by.
