The Worst Movies of 2006
Made $$$, Poor Film
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest”
Johnny Depp is a great actor but this film was too long and it made me think that Depp should have done this film immediately after the first one. The movie reviews of the first picture went to his head and the sequel’s script was not worthy of making another movie. When you make enough money from the first film to start your own country…. Disney probably thought who cares about a story lets make some money.
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan"
Teenagers across the country will flock to this movie.
It reminded me of the first episode of Studio 60 when the character of Wes Mendell goes on a rampage citing the problem with the media in America: “We're all being lobotomized by this country's most influential industry! It's just thrown in the towel on any endeavor to do anything that doesn't include the courting of twelve-year-old boys. Not even the smart twelve-year-olds - the stupid ones! The idiots - of which there are plenty, thanks in no small measure to this network! So why don't you just change the channel? Turn off the TV. Do it right now. Go ahead."
"The Da Vinci Code”
Another Wes Mendell rampage, “There's always been a struggle between art and commerce. But I'm telling you, right now art is getting its ass kicked, and it's making us mean and it's making us bitchy. It's making us cheap punks and that's not who we are!”
Here is my Simon Cowellesque American Idol perspective of this film (famous for his one liners after a performance): The Church itself is pretty upset about some of the ideas presented in the film, but they should have been upset about how idiotic it is.

ReplyDeleteI have to agree, I saw all three in the movie theatre and they all stunk. First, the 2nd Pirates...was that Star Trek Animals attack the the Captain? Second, Borat, I loved the show on HBO but the movie was beyond obscene. And finally, the third movie, the Davinci Code. I read the book prior to the movie and found the movie to be totally boring compared to the book. If you are a reader make sure to read Angels and Demons. Speaking of books, I just purchased Dan Brown's Digital Fortress and Deception Point; however, I must first finish Harry Potter 4-6, Clemente, and am looking to purchase the book Favre and a new book about the legendary packer, Johnny "Blood" McNally. So I should busy for the next few months without football. Check out the McNally book on Borders.com under the keyword, halfback!
Later and congrats on Championship!
