Well if that is the case, its about some porno star who starts doing weird business. I forget a lot but I remember where a girl I think was chained to a bed and he started flowersing(raping?) and he cut her head off.
About the rape part, it was him and someone else and the 2 people were UNDER the blanket so they didn't know who they were doing it with.
Actually I think the people under the bed were 1. the kid 2. the guys wife.
I think he killed himself at the end also.
I don't remember all of it.
The Last Airbender - Sweet Zombie Jesus, is this a bad movie. And not even bad in a funny way. It's a horrendous adaptation, the plot is meandering, the acting is beyond grating, and the casting is almost blatantly racist. The only silver lining is that Shyamalan will never get the chance to ruin Toph since the movie was a deservedly epic flop.
This was quite bad - I remember watching it on the airplane ride back from Hong Kong - let's just say I finished it because it is a very long flight.

I'm curious if you feel the same way about Falling Down.
Aside from this movie being pretty bad, I know to some people it is nothing more than a revenge of the nerds fantasy as Thema & Louise is a radical feminist fantasy. In both movies, I don't condone any/most of the characters actions.
However, there is a big difference between FD and T&L - While Micheal Douglas' character on Falling Down was a crazy loonatic and downright scary - he was portrayed as such. Not a hero, not as a symbol of empowerment, but a monster - he stalks his ex wife, destroys a guys's small business (food store), shoots a tank shell at some construction workers, causes an innocent men a heart attack and bullies some fast food employees. I hardly see him as a hero, or even an antihero. I remember back in high school talking to my english teacher about this movie and he said it best - it was scary, not funny, not cool, scary.
In Falling Down, there were only two scenes he was justified in his actions because of self defence - when the gang members try to attack him and when he kills the nazi that kidnaps him. There's the driveby shooting scene - but he just stood there. Otherwise, everything he does throughout the movie - my sendiements are identical to Thelma & Louise.
Actually, when watching this move I was rooting for Robert Duvall's character - a very well developed and written character; he is the only thing that makes the movie worth watching, otherwise Falling Down is a big waste of time.
Lastly - in Falling Down, the protagonist indiscriminately attacks random people (men), where as Thelma & Louise was nothing more than hatred towards a particular group - especially when the characters murder a few people (men) and they're portrayed and presented as heroes, the mere fact that this movie is positively reviewed and revered as a female empowerment movie only proves how sick, twisted and hypocritical the people of our society really are.
It reminds me of when I was in Vancouver and saw some so called "artwork" and it was nothing more than outright hatred endorsing murder and genocide of us who are of the Y chromosome group. I think to myself - "Why in the world is this acceptable? It's not okay, it never was and never will be." And if that wasn't enough, I have to deal with ignorant people telling my my bass playing is "misogynistic" I honestly didn't know playing challenging musical patterns rhythmically and melodically with speed, precision and accuracy was considered degrading towards women. I suppose I'll never understand the logic, perhaps because there is a great lack of it in people these days.
Anyways, as for Natural Born Killers, it's the same thing - as a viewer you actually want to see the main protagonists stopped because they're portrayed as the monsters they are, it is actually a sad ending because they get away and continue their course of action - which is murdering innocent people. Not only that, but Natural Born Killers had something way more intelligent to say as opposed to both Falling Down and Thelma & Louise.
So to summarize, Falling Down was a pretty rotten movie.
The Hostel Movies, they are nothing more then Gore-Porn, people think SAW is bad, no Hostel is just...uuggg, it makes SAW look like a bloody Academy award winner in comparison. How a movie that sick ever got a theatrical release i'll never know! *oh and the sequel is just flat up stupid, like really really stupid*
As for why I watched either, it was Halloween, I hadn't seen em before, so thought, meh, why not..... deffinantly regretted it afterwards though XD.
Oh also, The Sleep-away Camp sequels, first one was.... watchable, actually has some entertaining moments. All the sequels though, suck a major (insert expletive here) Its like they weren't even trying, they just wanted to make any amount of easy money they could off of super-cheap sequels to what was already a cheap movie in the first place.
And finally, I know alot of people liked it, but I personally HATED X-MEN: First Class. Because 1. It was originally supposed to be a theatrical adaption of the "Magneto: Testament" storyline which would have made a MUCH MUCH better movie *seriously go google that NAO!* but they changed it up because that would have been "too dark" or "too boring" for super-hero flick. So they made some half-arsed prequel that like the 1st Wolverine movie doesn't even fit into the current X-Men movie cannon! Not to mention some of the mutants they used WERE NOT EVEN ALIVE when Charles & Erik were starting out, and the FIrst Class comic's were about well Xavier's first class the original X-Men when they were teens.
So yeah, I was disappointed by it, just like I was the Wolverine Flick, neither fit into the movie cannon, and neither do the X-Men Justice! *and the Wolverine Movie totally massacred Deadpool's Character, he's the Merc with Mouth! Not generic bad-guy with swords in arms!* Lord I hope the Deadpool Movie makes up for that mess! *knock on wood*
The Hostel Movies, they are nothing more then Gore-Porn, people think SAW is bad, no Hostel is just...uuggg, it makes SAW look like a bloody Academy award winner in comparison. How a movie that sick ever got a theatrical release i'll never know! *oh and the sequel is just flat up stupid, like really really stupid*
Those Hostel movies - which I've seen the first two were absolute trash, I'll give them that they were creepy and the concept was an interesting one, but the way the movie played out and add to the fact that I'm somewhat squeamish about seeing people get cut open, it really didn't give me any reason to praise it.
At least in the Saw movies there was some assemblence of a plot comprising of key characters, some religious symbolism, the curiousity of how it will end - there is always a surprise sometimes I was able to call it, sometimes I missed the mark, and there was a little more of a point than the Hostel movies. While I wouldn't consider the Saw movies great, I also wouldn't say they were horrible, and they were at least entertaining unlike the Hostel series.

I was one of those that actually enjoyed X men First Class - while I know that it didn't follow the comic or the cartoon, the other movies didn't either, but that's not the point. With all the X men movies I've noticed they use key characters throughout, but randomly place them in whichever movie, after all Wolverine had Blob in it, and I know X men First Class had Banshee as a good guy - and I always thought he was a villian, one of Sinister's? But even then I can forgive that, for me the big sins of the X men movies were what they did to Deadpool (which is why I have mixed emotions about that Wolverine movie, I liked it, but there were things that I disliked) and the fact that they wasted the Jugguarnaut character on X men 3 - which I personally feel was the weakest link of the X men movie franchise.
One thing I will agree with you about was that it would have been cooler to see an entire Magneto movie with a movie like X men First Class as a sequel to it. I will also mention, one thing that did bother me about X men First Class and Wolverine was what they did with Stryker - Wolverine takes place later, sometime in the mid 80's I would say, XMFC was in the 60's - so why does Stryker look older on XMFC when it took place before Wolverine. And speaking of timeline issues, if Charles lost his ability to walk in XMFC, why is he walking on Wolverine? Strange.
There is also the issue with Deathstryke - as much as I enjoyed X men 2 - I thought it was great, it appears that there is no intention of connecting Deathstryke to Wolverine's past, that in the upcoming Wolverine movie, he does meet Mariko, fights the Silver Samurai - but it is said to take place after the events of X men 3 - this concerns me a little and another reason The Wolverine Origins movie should've had a sequel to it that took place shortly after.
Plotholes aside, the movies as individual works were good and entertaining, I still feel strongly that the first and second ones are still the best ones.
Anyways, to add to the list of worst movies, Batman Forever - yes, another Shumacker movie, I didn't like the cheey colors, the direction, even having great actors like Tommy Lee Jones didn't help this movie. It is pretty much lacking in all redeeming qualities. Thank the movie gods for the new Nolan Batman series, while it did take ten years for the first installment of that series to come out, it was worth the wait.
The worst live-action movie I've ever seen was Batman and Robin, for reasons anyone who's seen the movie should know. Garishly bright and over-the-top scenery, really bad writing (who the heck decided to make Mr. Freeze tragic and campy at the same time?), and actors that are barely trying because they know how bad this movie is (George Clooney is always smiling). There a few tiny good points--Michael Gough is as good as ever playing Alfred, and John Glover's bit part is the enjoyable kind of camp--but that's about it.
The worst animated movie, and possibly worst film period, is The Adventures of the American Rabbit. It's decently animated, but its characters have no...character, and the plot and writing is possibly the worst I've ever known. At least Batman and Robin can be bad in an enjoyable way--American Rabbit is just a chore for anyone over five.
The worst movie I've ever seen is either Battlefield Earth or Dragon Ball Evolution. As for disappointing movies, I'd say Dredd and the Avengers. Those two movies are overrated.
I can't even remember the last movie I saw that I thought was any good, really. Nothing new, anyway. As far as disappointing, I watched the Fullmetal Alchemist: Conquer Of Shamballa not long ago, and while it wasn't really bad, it was depressing. While its a given for the original series, I think I was happier not finishing it. I generally don't watch movies, I like the longevity of TV shows, but I've seen most the ones you've mentioned so far. And I looked up Rifftrax. It made my day. I loved MST3K.
As a cinéaste, I cannot allow Thelma and Louise to be dragged through the mud. That is a superb film and redefined what a "buddy" film is which has since been redefined by trash like Hangover and Guilt Trip. We need another Thelama and Louise to correct the failures of today. It was exciting, streamlined and most certainly better than 95% of the crap Hollywood puts out today. It's a great film with fantastic acting from Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon. It was a vibrant and gorgeous America in the cinematography and it reflected the hard times women had in the late 80s and early 90s. You clearly wouldn't understand the importance of Thelma and Louise in American cinema. And it only became more obvious when you decided to also bash a perfectly fine film such as Falling Down, which deals with mental health and collapse and has superb acting. It was attempted again with the movie God Bless America and failed horrendously. It made killing people a comedy. Falling Down is more respectful and speaks more to today than it ever has.
Don't talk about what you don't know or understand.

Thelma & Louise was misandric, gynocentric garbage that made killing people belonging to a specific group a noble and honorable, adn the mere fact that people appaud that, shows how dumb they are, and the same thing happens with music too; aside from that, it just wasn't a very good movie to begin with, I can't put my stamp of approval on such a horrendous movie. Sorry if I can't like a movie that makes the implication that I'm a degenerate scumbag because of how I was born, I take a joke, but this movie crossed the line.
Falling Down was better than Thelma & Louise, I did feel more sympathedic towards the character, and it does have something intelligent to say about how redundant our society can be and how that can cause nervous breakdowns. I'm also softer on it because Micheal Douglas played the character in a way he wasn't made out to be a hero, but scary, so points for that, but in terms of how the movie was executed - pacing, plotline, general direction, it just didn't do it for me.

"Here we gooooo!" -- Mario
Let me list off a few bad movies I have seen:
* I watched this movie with Rifftrax. I highly recommend Rifftrax to all movie buffs.
The Bird of Hermes Is My Name
Eating My Wings To Make Me Tame
The worst movie I've ever seen is either Battlefield Earth or Dragon Ball Evolution. As for disappointing movies, I'd say Dredd and the Avengers. Those two movies are overrated.
I can't even remember the last movie I saw that I thought was any good, really. Nothing new, anyway.
