- DirectorRob MarshallStarsDaniel Day-LewisMarion CotillardPenélope CruzFamous film director Guido Contini struggles to find harmony in his professional and personal lives, as he engages in dramatic relationships with his wife, his mistress, his muse, his agent, and his mother.Never in my life have I felt so objectified by a movie before. I have no problem with women who are confident in their sexuality, in fact I encourage it, but am I, as a female audience member, honestly meant to believe that every woman in the world is obsessed with a truly disgusting character? All the women in this movie are either sex-crazed fangirls or stereotypical mother/wife figures. The protagonist is completely detestable and yet he plays the victim. The singing, for the most part, isn't all that great and it seems to be another attempt at another Chicago, but what made Chicago so successful was great singing, dancing, acting and it was about women and their struggles. This movie has women, but it objectifies them more than justifies them. Plus, we've already seen Chicago! Can the director not make a different movie to get attention?
- CreatorDavid CraneMarta KauffmanStarsJennifer AnistonCourteney CoxLisa KudrowFollows the personal and professional lives of six twenty to thirty year-old friends living in the Manhattan borough of New York City.Why should I feel the need to support a couple that is clearly unhealthy? The character of Ross is clearly insecure, clingy, mentally and emotionally abusive, his relationship with Rachel has been on and off numerous times, he's been married too many times for any self-respecting woman to ever like him and yet we are supposed to support Ross and Rachel as a couple all the way. Apart from that, it's not well-written, the humor is often sexist and repetitive and the characters are just awful. Hardly any of them are likable and they usually just come off as annoying. The dependance on celebrity cameos seems to be the only entertaining bits, but when that's more entertaining than the actual show, there is a problem.
- DirectorJared HessStarsJon HederEfren RamirezJon GriesA listless and alienated teenager decides to help his new friend win the class presidency in their small western high school, while he must deal with his bizarre family life back home.Vapid, unfunny, unpleasant and the protagonist is just downright detestable. He's oblivious, rude and monotone. The humor, frankly, is so childish and so stupid that it actually hurts to bear. So why is it so popular? I have never in my life watched a movie and felt myself getting dumber and dumber just watching it. I've never gotten stupid humor. It's stupid, but it isn't funny. Why, oh why, do people think it's funny? It's just obnoxious.
- CreatorSeth MacFarlaneDavid ZuckermanStarsAlex BorsteinSeth MacFarlaneSeth GreenIn a wacky Rhode Island town, a dysfunctional family strives to cope with everyday life as they are thrown from one crazy scenario to another.Possibly the most obnoxious show I have ever seen in my life! So many people seem to compare it to The Simpsons, but the difference is that the characters are all different in The Simpsons and that is a show that can actually be intelligent. The only intelligent humor seen in this show is the character of Stewie and that's all. We're also able to relate to some of the characters of The Simpsons, in a way, but there is nothing to connect with real life in this show. There's no substance, no humor, no rhyme or reason, it's just random. How does that manage to make a successful show? It's just plain stupid, repetitive, annoying and surprisingly mean-spirited at times.
- DirectorSofia CoppolaStarsKirsten DunstJason SchwartzmanRip TornThe retelling of France's iconic but ill-fated queen, Marie Antoinette. From her betrothal and marriage to Louis XVI at 14 to her reign as queen at 19 and to the end of her reign as queen, and ultimately the fall of Versailles.I don't think I've ever seen a movie where I hated the protagonist more and the irony is that I'm supposed to feel sympathy for her and relate to her. Marie Antoinette, in this film, is a rich, frivolous and shallow brat with little to no personality other than being a valley girl. How am I supposed to relate to that? Sofia Coppola doesn't appear to know what an average girl is and seems to think that the portrait of one is someone who is rich and does nothing but spoil herself. Granted, that is what Marie Antoinette did, but there is not much study as to why she did it as her form of escapism. The symbolism of eighties pop music and converse shoes in the middle of a shot also fails when it just seems too out of place and irrelevant. Apart from that, it's just long, boring, frivolous and poorly researched.
- CreatorJulie PlecKevin WilliamsonStarsNina DobrevPaul WesleyIan SomerhalderThe lives, loves, dangers and disasters in the town, Mystic Falls, Virginia. Creatures of unspeakable horror lurk beneath this town as a teenage girl is suddenly torn between two vampire brothers.This is another show that seems to glorify abuse, which is nothing new to anything based on terribly written chick-lit *cough*Twilight*cough*, but all this show seems to be about is an annoying love-triangle with no substance to it whatsoever. Again, Twilight. I am aware that the book was written long before Twilight, but it wasn't given much attention until after Twilight, mainly because of Stephanie Meyer's unoriginal way or writing, but back to the topic. It's filled with overused clichés from love triangles to reincarnations that have been done to death. There's just nothing new to this series apart from the news flash that you can be a professional editor with iMovie.
- DirectorRobin SwicordStarsKathy BakerHugh DancyAmy BrennemanSix Californians start a club to discuss the works of Jane Austen, only to find their relationships -- both old and new -- begin to resemble 21st century versions of her novels.For some reason, everyone around me seems to love this film and maybe it's because I'm more of a Brontë fan than Austen, but I thought this film was not only dull and uninteresting, but the characters were just plain awful. I especially hated the subplot of the married couple who divorced because the husband was cheating on his wife and yet everyone was encouraging them to get back together...and then they do. Why? Everyone knows not to go back to someone who cheated on you because they're likely to do it again, so why should I support this couple when I know they're unhealthy?
- CreatorConstance M. BurgeStarsHolly Marie CombsAlyssa MilanoBrian KrauseThree Halliwell sisters discover that they are descendants of a line of good female witches and are destined to fight against the forces of evil, using their combined power of witchcraft known as the "Power of Three".Cheesy visual effects, sets and dialogue can often be redeemed by interesting characters, plot and writing, but sadly this show has none of that. The only interesting part has to be the intro and from then on, it just becomes a boring show about generic characters, villains who come out of nowhere and writers who think they know what they're talking about when they write about the Wiccan religion. Inaccuracies can also be redeemed by good qualities, look at Harry Potter, but none of the characters or stories are interesting and it's just a go-nowhere story altogether.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJoseph Gordon-LevittElliot PageA thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O., but his tragic past may doom the project and his team to disaster.At first glance, I thought this was an interesting idea, but the second time around, I realized that was all there was to it: an interesting idea. Apart from that, the characters aren't interesting and not very well-developed and not as complex as it's made out to be. I've seen more complex episodes of Doctor Who and they weren't half as long or slow either. Christopher Nolan is also starting to get very repetitive as a director. I've noticed that he tends to take on "complex" action movies and although he's good at casting (for the most part), he's not good at original characters and the films are starting to get predictable. If he doesn't do something different, people are going to see him as the next Shyamalan.
- CreatorJ.J. AbramsAlex KurtzmanRoberto OrciStarsAnna TorvJoshua JacksonJohn NobleAn F.B.I. agent is forced to work with an institutionalized scientist and his son in order to rationalize a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena.Despite most of the characters being quite likable, the female protagonist is really quite boring and like Inception, it's attempts to be complex just comes off as slow and more complex for the same of being complex. It takes two seasons to develop the idea of a parallel dimension whereas Doctor Who would take two minutes and waste no time. There is a lot of time wasted in this series and it shows. I'll put it pretty high on the list because of how it cares for its characters, who are often enjoyable to watch, but again, the development is very slow.
