I Want That Time Back!!!

I like horror movies, especially those based on true stories. Paranormal Activity, Hostel, Saw, A Nightmare on Elm Street, I am not TOO picky as long as it doesn't LOOK low budget.

Last night I watched a movie I have wanted to see for a while now: The Amityville Haunting. OMG, I wish I could have that 1 hour and 26 minutes back. It was made in the Paranormal Activity style, but it looked (and the acting) like a made-for-TV horror that you hope would get better. It just got worse. The father was an idiot. The youngest daughter, I think her brain was missing. The oldest daughter needed to eat a few burgers or my screen was stretched, and she played the usual teen girl: always on the defensive. The son was ok until he started talking to the camera, very bad acting.

What movie did you watch that you wish you didn't and why?

    A hansel and gretal movie from redbox. I thought it was the new witch hunter one. Lol no. It was so predictable and terrible. I love movies based on stories from when I was a kid but that one was bad.

    I remember saying that about "The Mummy Returns" ... I really liked the first one, but was totally shaking my head at the second. Mad about the wasted time. Now, I try to only watch DVDs as I exercise (elliptical or treadmill), so even if the movie isn't great, at least it wasn't a total waste of time.

    There's a company out there specializing in making knock-off movies a.k.a. mockbusters. Redbox is usually nice enough to include a disclaimer in the description that says "not to be confused with..."

    I walked out on "Frances Ha". I am 31 and feel like I'm 51 due to my inability to watch what life was like just a few years ago.

    Battlefield Earth...Hollywood should be forced to pay punitive damages for pain & suffering and mental anguish to anyone who managed to sit through this.

    Paranormal Activity 3 (I think 3). I hadn't seen any. I wasn't really sure what it was about. The theater was filled with overdramatic teens.

    Nothing is happening, nothing is happening, nothing is happening. A lamp falls. Everybody screams. Nothing is happening, nothing is happening. Movie over, my hard earned money wasted.

    I almost never go to the movies, very few even appear to be worth it.

    Mine is "Marvin's Room" piece of excrement, my father and I went to see it at a old theater that cost $1 and the show was a matinee so it was $0.50 each the entire theater was full and we watched it as the credits rolled we stood up and said to each other that was a terrible and 3 other guys near us completely agreed. I wanted to go to the box office and demand my $0.50 back it was that bad, the movie was like a train wreak but without any of the blood, guts, and explosions, we both thought through the movie "it has to get better" but it never happened. I could have thrown some poo against a wall and made a better movie. We went because some film critics said it was a great film, I have no idea what they were smoking but I even doubt that any drug (and I have tried a bunch of them) could have made it palatable.

    The first was probably the best, the second I think was ok. One of them was them as children and their grandmother was a witch or something and she possessed the girls. Not that great.

    I almost puked after 10 seconds. Shut it off and had nightmares about it. Disgusting doesn't even begin to describe it.

    We Need To Talk About Kevin.

    No we need to talk about how this movie BUTCHERED the book. Good grief. Half the time was spent on shots of the mother looking shell-shocked. Huge waste of time for a movie made solely for shock value. :/

    I feel that way about Pulp Fiction and Napoleon Dynamite. Just dont get the fascination with either of those movies. Total waste of time and feel dumber for seeing them.

    Vampires verses Zombies. i like B-movies but this was awful.

    The main characters spend half the film driving along the road but only at about 5mph. The make up was appalling - one of the zombies looked like **** Emery and the rest looked like they had raided an old peoples home. Makes the last Paranormal activity look like an Oscar win.

    If there was a story line please let me know.

    Also Pandorium was very tedious and i love sci-fi movies. Even worse after a drink and even 2 years later my friends wont let us live it down.

    Quite the contrary, I actually enjoy bad movies. Especially bad horror movies. If I can give an award to best worst movie EVER it would be:

    "GhostHouse"

    Absolutely hilarious.

    When I was about 16, I was visiting my older sister (she would have been 24) and her friend's husband rented a movie for us all to watch for movie night. It was called "Spanking the Monkey" - I sh1t you not there is a movie called Spanking the Monkey and yes it is actually about spanking the monkey.

    It was probably supposed to be some thought provoking indie film but it was complete and utter CRAP

    OMG, THIS! The books were so good, but the movie was TERRIBLE!

    Les Mis. I've seen the show twice on Broadway and it was phenomenal. So, after the movie got such amazing reviews I just went ahead and bought it. I BARELY made it even halfway through before I shut it off completely disgusted with how they ruined my favorite show of all time. I wish I had that time back and that money back!

    I had this feeling the other night when I watched Magic Mike. I had heard great things about it (from my girlfriends) so I was kind of looking forward to it. I wanted a decent storyline to go with the half-naked well-shaped menfolk dancing and gyrating around, but it fell really short. I kept wondering when it would be over and even checked to see how long it was at one point. I would have just turned it off, but I wasn't watching alone. *sigh*

    OMG- Let me in.

    My fiance and I were in the movie theater watching it... after a half hour, we looked at each other and said "it'll get better, I'm sure of it". Finally, after 1.5 hours, he says "It'll get better... " I told him "well, it's a 2 hour movie, and it's been 1.5 hours, they should be at the climax now, I doubt it's getting better!"

    Worst. Movie. EVER
