TRON: Legacy
May 23, 2015 22:47In 1982, the original TRON pushed the limits of special effects and computer technology; 28 years later, its sequel TRON: Legacy, attempted to follow in its predecessor's footsteps and dazzle audiences with ground-breaking CGI effects; did it succeed, or is this film merely style over substance?
Top Gun
May 23, 2015 22:461986's Top Gun is widely considered to be one of Tom Cruise's best films, and one of the best movies of the 1980's. But is the film a wonderful slice of 80's cheese, or is it just a piece of junk?
Van Helsing
May 23, 2015 22:46In 2004, Stephen Sommers returned to the world of the Universal Studios monsters with Van Helsing, an homage to the monster movies of the 1930's starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale. The film was similar in style and tone as Sommer's previous film, The Mummy, but does Van Helsing live up to its predecessor?
Underworld
May 23, 2015 22:45In 2003, Kate Beckinsale starred in Underworld, the first in a series of successful supernatural action films. These films are a hit with audiences, but the critics do not enjoy them at all; we check it out to see if it is as bad as the critics say it is.
House of Wax
May 23, 2015 22:44Every once in a while, a movie will come along that is completely overshadowed by the controversy that surrounds one of its stars. Such was the case with Paris Hilton and House of Wax. This film is mostly remembered as the movie in which Paris Hilton died, but is there more to this slasher film?
The Mummy
May 23, 2015 22:43The Mummy was meant to be a fun, Indiana Jones style adventure story starring Brendan Fraser. The movie was a box office success back in 1999, but critics were divided in their opinions. Can Brendan Fraser carry a multi-million dollar summer blockbuster?
Resident Evil
May 23, 2015 22:43Movies based on video games have always had a less than stellar track record, and 2002's Resident Evil was Paul W.S. Anderson's attempt to buck the trend. Did he succeed, or is this movie just another bio hazard?
Jumper
May 23, 2015 22:42Ever since his appearance in the Star Wars prequels, people have questioned Hayden Christensen's abilities as a leading man. 2008's Jumper gave Christensen a chance to show his skills in an exciting new franchise; audiences flocked to see this film, but critics were not pleased. Is Jumper a fun popcorn movie, or a slickly produced piece of trash?
Showgirls
May 23, 2015 22:42With its NC-17 rating, gratuitous sex and nudity, Showgirls quickly became one of the most controversial movies of 1995. Despite all the hype surrounding it, the movie bombed at the box office and received extremely negative reviews. Ultimately, Showgirls found new life on home video and is now widely regarded as a cult classic; does this movie deserve to be "so bad, it's good", or is it just bad?
The Box
May 23, 2015 22:41Ever since Donnie Darko, Richard Kelly has gained a reputation for making strange and interesting movies that challenged audiences. The Box was an attempt to merge Kelly's auteur sensibilities with a more commercial film; was it a success, or is this movie just a confusing mess?
Sucker Punch
May 23, 2015 22:40Zack Snyder is one of the most visually impressive directors in Hollywood; his movies always feature interesting imagery and eye catching special effects. Sucker Punch was Snyder's first movie not based on an existing intellectual property, and it is clear that this film was very near and dear to his heart. So, does Sucker Punch deliver the goods, or is it another case of style over substance?
The Day After Tomorrow
May 23, 2015 22:39Roland Emmerich, the master of disaster, returns to our show with a cautionary tale on the dangers of global warming. Are special effects and Dennis Quaid enough to save this movie?
Knowing
May 23, 2015 22:39Nicolas Cage stars in this fatalistic metaphysical thriller about a strange code that predicts every disaster in recent history. Was this mind bending movie misunderstood, or was it merely a hokey piece of junk?
Skyline
May 23, 2015 22:38Skyline was one of the many blockbusters to come out during the summer of 2010. It was completely financed by its directors, two former special effects artists, and because of their roots, Skyline was a special effects extravaganza; but are special effects enough to carry this alien invasion movie?
Robocop 3
May 23, 2015 22:37Robocop was one of the coolest and most violent R-rated action movies of the 1980's. Its success lead to the creation of two sequels; Robocop 3 is considered to be the worst of the trilogy. Dead or alive, does it live up to its predecessor?
Catwoman
May 23, 2015 22:36Catwoman was meant to be a summer blockbuster spin-off of the Batman franchise starring Halle Berry and Sharon Stone. But something went wrong along the way, and Catwoman is now considered to be one of the worst movies ever made; but is it really as bad as everyone says?
One Missed Call
May 23, 2015 22:36Rotten Tomatoes has called One Missed Call the second worst movie of the last decade, thus making it the worst horror movie of the last ten years. Does this remake of a Japanese horror film really deserve to be among the worst movies of the last decade?
The Wicker Man
May 23, 2015 22:35Nicolas Cage is one of the most dynamic actors in Hollywood; he can be a serious actor one second, and turn into a crazy madman the next. In 2006, he starred in the Wicker Man, a movie that was met with almost universal hatred from all those who saw it. It has since gone on to become the laughing stock of the internet, but is it really that bad?
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
May 23, 2015 22:35Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are among the most powerful couples in Hollywood today, and it was on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith that their relationship was first ignited. Mr. & Mrs. Smith was a romantic comedy action film that made a lot of money at the box office, yet it did not score highly with critics; can A-List star power be enough to carry an entire film?
The Happening
May 23, 2015 22:34Much has been said about M. Night Shyamalan; his first film was met with much acclaim from critics and movie goers alike. But as his filmography progressed, his supporters quickly turned against him, making M. Night as one of the most polarizing directors of our generation. 2008's The Happening received an extreme level of hatred from all sides, but is it really that bad?
Transformers
May 23, 2015 22:33Transformers was one of the most anticipated movies of 2007; it was directed by Michael Bay, a man who has perfected the art of the summer blockbuster, and it was based upon a beloved cartoon and series of toys from the 1980's. What could possibly go wrong?
Armageddon
May 23, 2015 22:33Armageddon was one of the most successful blockbusters of 1998; it had a star studded cast and state of the art special effects, yet despite all this, it was shunned by many critics. Is Armageddon a misunderstood gem, or a global killing disaster?
Waterworld
May 23, 2015 22:32Waterworld was one of the most infamous movies of the 1990's; it was cursed with a budget that spiraled out of control, which at the time, caused it to become the most expensive film ever made. It became the movie that critics loved to hate, and thus, Waterworld became the butt of jokes for years to come. Is it really that bad, or is this another instance of unfair media bias?
Ghostbusters II
May 23, 2015 22:32Ghostbusters II is the sequel to one of the most beloved movies of the 1980's; the original film was an amazing mix of both comedy and science fiction. Does this sequel live up to its predecessor, or should it be banished to the Ecto-Containment Unit?
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
May 23, 2015 22:31An entire generation grew up watching G.I. Joe during the 1980's, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was created to capitalize on the "toy movie" craze that was ushered in by Transformers. Does this movie live up to an entire generation's nostalgic dreams, or is this the Joe's worst mission yet?
Mortal Kombat
May 23, 2015 22:31Mortal Kombat was an extremely popular video game during the early 90's. Millions of kids around the world became hooked on its fun gameplay and shocking violence. It was only inevitable that something so popular would spawn a movie adaptation, but is Mortal Kombat a Flawless Victory, or does it deserve to be dumped into The Pit?
Bicentennial Man
May 23, 2015 22:30Bicentennial Man was released during the Christmas season back in 1999; it starred Robin Williams and was meant to be a big budget, family friendly science-fiction movie that would make you laugh as well as warm your heart. Did it succeed, or is this just another clunker for the junk pile?
The Boondock Saints
May 23, 2015 22:30The Boondock Saints is widely considered to be a cult classic, and is beloved by college guys everywhere, yet it has a 19% on Rotten Tomatoes. Is this another example of film snobs thumbing their noses at an amazing movie, or is it an overrated waste of time?
Law Abiding Citizen
May 23, 2015 22:29Gerard Butler is a likable guy that always finds himself in less than stellar movies; almost every movie he made from 2008 - 2009 are Certified Rotten on Rotten Tomatoes, and Law Abiding Citizen is no exception.

2012
May 23, 2015 22:29John Cusack and Woody Harrelson have front row seats to the end of the world in 2012. This movie has been called the mother of all disaster movies, a special effects spectacle that was created to dazzle all the senses.

The Proposal
May 23, 2015 22:28Romantic Comedies have been Hollywood's bread and butter for years; guys hate them, girls love them. In 2009, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds starred in The Proposal, a movie which critics called the most cliched romcom ever made. Is this movie a heart warming classic, or generic trash? This movie was chosen by you the listeners!
Batman and Robin
May 23, 2015 22:28Batman is a character that was born to be in movies, and one of the most anticipated films of 1997 was the sequel to Batman Forever: Batman and Robin. This movie is infamous for its campy tone and silly style. It has been said that this film nearly killed the Batman franchise, but is it really that bad?
Legion
May 23, 2015 22:27During 2010, Hollywood was in love with the end of the world, and Legion was meant to be an action oriented take on the apocalypse - with a religious twist. If you watched any movie towards the end of 2009, you definitely saw the trailer for this movie; did Legion turn out to be a gift from heaven, or a hellish punishment?
Twilight
May 23, 2015 22:19In 2008, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson starred in this adaptation of the super successful novel of the same name by Stephanie Meyers.

Lost in Space
May 23, 2015 22:19Back in 1998, remaking old TV shows into movies was just as popular then as it is today, and Lost in Space was meant to revitalize an old franchise, turning a new generation on to the adventures of the Robinson family.

Freddy Got Fingered
May 23, 2015 22:17In 2001, Tom Green was at the height of his power when he was granted 14 million dollars and the power to make any movie his heart desired. This was the result. Was this big budget gross out comedy some sort of elaborate post modern joke, or was it just bad? Daddy, would you like some sausage?
Vanilla Sky
May 23, 2015 22:16In 2001, Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz starred in this polarizing mind warp of a movie; was it ahead of its time, or just confusing?
