They are difficult for me to choose which ones goes first on my list of preference. But here it is.

My List of BAD Movies - Avoid at all costs!

Once again, in order of how lousy they are (well at least to me)

1. The Magic Flute
- Incredibly boring. I have absolutely nothing to say about his production. Give me the real thing anytime!

2. 30 Days of Night
- Much ado about nothing. What do i care for a group of people who choose to stay in such a god-forsaken place? They only have themselves to blame for landing themselves in such 'SXXT'! Why would a sane person choose to live in an incredibly cold cold small town but escapism? And even if i were to accept this as a premise, this goes unresolved. Utterly unsatisfying!

3. Vacancy
- A complete waste of my precious time. Instead of hearing the protagonists heart beat, i could feel my youth ticking away at this show. A show with some potential in the beginning but was thrown into the pits with a poor ending that does not even try to set things right. who cares about Kate Beckinsale being stuck in a motel?

4. Beowulf
- An immense disappointment with its over-rated CG animation. The strong cast is completely wasted the over-use of animation. Apparently, technology has not advanced so much to allow the animation to look like real. Fight scenes where the anatomy of the hero is covered at all costs only brings on the laughs in the cinema instead of taking your breath away.

Which ones have you watched and which are the ones that left a deep impression on you?
