Worst 5 Films of 2011

Hello everybody to 2012, and what a better way then to welcome the New Year then look back at the old. So without further adieu here are my least favorite films of 2011.

5) Your Highness- Out of all the movie genre's comedies only have one job to do: make us laugh. So why does this movie not understand that very basic premise? Probably because like the genre it inhibits this movie has only one joke; what if potheads were in a fantasy world. Well it turns out that it wouldn't be funny. At all. One could say that it is fatigue of director David Gordon Green's style, or possibly Danny McBride and James Franco half-assing their parts. I would simply blame it on this: the main marketing tool behind this movie was Natalie Portman's ass. What kind of movie does that?

4) Sucker Punch- Out of every movie on the list I have t say this is the one I enjoyed the most. It has such a cool premise and comes from one Zack Snyder, a director who has proven himself a talented man, but nothing about it works. The movie is highly stylized, and I understand why some might like it, but its boring. The film revolves around dreamscape battlefields in which five girls try to escape an insane asylum through, but because these dreamscapes the movie lacks tension. This movie is pretty but lacking, boring, and overall just a disappointment. Nothing about it works which is so upsetting.

3) The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 1- Listen, Im a guy so naturally i'm suppose to hate this series, but I don't. I respect and understand the point of this series, but that doesn't excuse this from being a horrible film. Literally nothing, and I mean nothing happens! She gets knocked up, gets knocked down, and then a wolf imprints on a new born baby. Plus this movie has the job of transitioning from an anti-sex position, to a pro-life stance. This movie is painful to watch, and painful to think about.

2) I Am Number Four- I actually forgot this movie existed, that how bad it was. Sci-fi is a hard genre to nail, but I don't think there is any sort of real need for this film to exist. Its brutally unoriginal and entirely predictable. It star's Alex Pettyfer (strike one) as the titular Number Four a survivor of an alien race (strike two) who flees too Earth with his mentor Henri as they are being hunted by the Mog. What follows is Four's journey into high school and desperate attempt to fit in by trying to date the football player's girlfriend and befriending the one kid who knows aliens exist (strike three!) All of this wouldn't matter if it was competent or actually resembled some sort of entertainment but alas it was not to be. Oh also it ends with a possibility for a sequel..... fuck that.

1) Bad Teacher- The whole premise of this movie is Cameron Diaz as a "bad teacher" extorting her kids so she can get a boob job so she could impress Justin Timberlake. Like Your Highness this is a comedy that is not only funny, but its almost deplorable. All of the acting is terrible, especially Timberlake. None of the characters are likable, not even Jason Segel's character who has at least some charm. Cameron Diaz's character is a gold-digger, a liar, and an extortionist. This movie hurt to watch, it isn't bad, it isn't terrible, its an monstrosity. You know how movie theater's have those little walls to protect you from falling of the higher seats? Well while watching this movie I was more interested it jumping off of that. I was more interested in hurting myself then watching this film. Bad Teacher is the worst film I have seen in the past year, and defiantly one of the worst films I have ever seen. Congratulations you miserable piece of trash.
