The Five Worst Films You've Seen this Year

Hi All,
Here's the challenge!!
What are the 5 worst films you've seen during the 2007 calendar year [which yes does still have a month and a half to go but as someone having all of December and January off this year I'm starting now!!]
In no particular order they are:

1. The Simpsons Movie
Disappointing simplistic story that could have been told in 30mins
2. Superbad
A few funny ideas but otherwise a less funny American Pie
3. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Hasn't that been done, saved by Jessica Beils
2. Evan Almighty
One good scene, funny, just not a good script and not clever
3. Death Proof
Quentin makes brilliant movies about ordinary America but this cut and paste caused me to ask 'why' it was a film?

worst 5 this year? ok...

#1. (with a bullet)"Running with Scissors" - great cast (Annette Bening and co), but perhaps the most pretentiously strange script ever. Closest I've ever come to walking out of the cinema.

#2. "Ghost Rider" - Nick Cage in the second worst superhero movie ever...

#3. "300" - like a greasy kebab at 3am, it looked like a good idea, and you even took some guilty pleasure eating it. But about 30 min later you felt kind of dirty and sick

#4. "Shooter" - controversial round my way. Great scenery, and Mark Wahlberg is a favourite. But the plot was as predictable as a dodgy US sit-com.

#5. "Rush Hour 3" - two favourite old uncles, doing the same gag at Christmas that they did when you were a kid. Unfortunately no one's been able to tell them it's not funny any more. Good case for a mercy kill

Hey Jono,
Rush Hour 3 started last Thursday in the cinema I was attending instead of Michael Clayton... then they stopped it and fixed things... so I'm glad that's just "15mins of my life I'll never get back!!"
