And The Razzie Goes To - Stinker Movies

By Clara Freeman

Every year, we, the people/fans of celebrity entertainment, are bombarded with big screen productions of the next 'it' movie for our viewing pleasure, or, in some instances, what becomes our displeasure, leaving us contemplating the sizable monetary hole in our budgeting pockets at this latest perceived blockbuster expense and wondering, "What the hell was that about?"

Just as the general public is questioning these instant DVD arrivals, some genius out in Hollywood land comes up with The Raspberry Awards, in essence, to gift the worst picture, actor, actress, and so on, of the year...Remember Halley Berry and Cat Woman? So deserving of that darn golden statue, was she not? and was she not such a trooper to have the nerve to show up to accept the little stinker?

I promised you 3 more stinker movies, along with the actors, I feel need to take their place alongside Ms. Berry for their Razzie...Drum Roll, please...Bewitched, starring, the lovely Aussie, Nicole Kidman and Will Farrell. Neither of which was remotely convincing in their parts. Nicole could barely twitch. Did not even come close to the original star power of that famous twinkle done so brilliantly by Elizabeth Montgomery. Will Farrell left me emotionless; the man had no character substance. Who was that guy?

Since the movie's release in 2006, It has gotten its share of raspberry posts...I had to contribute.

Little Man. What idiotic concept! The movie was the brainchild of the most innovative, creative, ground breaking families of color in television! How did they contemplate the works of such garbage? First of all, the premise was oddly insulting , all too predictable and totally a wash. I would only recommend this movie to my worst movie critic foe.

Then, comes Wild Hogs. Whose watching this star studded debacle? I am sure, the initial draw to this number 1 DVD rental was the array of star power, inclusive of John Travolta, a heart breaker since back in the days of Welcome Back Carter and The Boy In The Bubble, not to mention the trilogy of Quentin Tarentino films... Mister, he had my vote. As did Martin Lawrence, A Thin Line Between Love And Hate;

Martin's the man! Tim Allen and William H. Macy rounds out the cast of four aging bikers who set out for one more fling with their bikes, leaving their wives, lives and cellphones behind! Unbelievable! The whole movie, unbelievable...There was one bright spot for this writer, however and that was Peter Fonda riding in on the back seat of his Harley(whatever...I am no biker chick)

These movies in my humble opinion were and are, truly worthy of the Raspberry Awards... I rest my case.
