My colleagues Tom Stephens and Mr. Oso have recently posted blogs trashing on movies they have not seen, The Love Guru and Disaster Movie, respectively, and I feel the need to take a stab at it myself.  We are, after all, the film critics who condemn movies we haven’t seen.

My marital status puts me in a not so unique position to see movies I normally wouldn’t. Some of them are good and some are well, Just My Luck (a 2006 disaster with Lindsay Lohan). 27 Dresses was almost worse then that movie though, because of it’s horrific mediocrity.

A few weeks ago we called The Love Guru, The Worst Movie We Never Saw. It’s because we had an innate ability to notice that when Mike Myers remade Tim Meadow’s failed movie The Ladies Man it would be at least as bad as that.

10,000 B.C. (2008)

Filed under:Action, Clean Movies, TV, Violence — posted by Daniel Roos on @ 3:46 am

10,000 B.C. is a bloated Hollywood epic that mistakes the size of its budget for its ability to entertain.

I skipped Mission Impossible 3 in theaters. I skipped it at the rental store. I skipped over buying it on several occasions. I had been told it was good, but I assumed it was all lies.

The only mystery here is: Why was this movie made?
