The one movie Michael Caine regrets starring in. I don't blame him, as the reshoot forced him to miss the Oscars to pick up his award for Best Supporting Actor in Hannah and Her Sisters.

Time for another Bad Filmmakers' Spotlight: Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer

This duo with no film school experience has flaunted their inexperience on the big screen over the past two decades with a string of painfully unfunny parody films starting with 1996's Spy Hard and 2000's Scary Movie. The writer/producer/director duo have thrown potshots at every popular film genre or sub-genre such as chick flicks (Date Movie), epic films (Epic Movie), 300 (Meet the Spartans), disaster films (Disaster Movie), and young adult flicks (Vampires Suck and The Starving Games). To no surprise, Friedberg and Seltzer's films have been consistently under 10% on Rotten Tomatoes and they have received numerous Golden Raspberry Award nominations. Despite the overwhelmingly negative reception, their films somehow managed to rake in boatloads of money at the box office, with four of them collecting over US$80 million each. This box office streak ended with Vampires Suck in 2010, as Friedberg and Seltzer decided to go independent and have their films released on VOD.

This year, the duo has two films. Superfast! is their answer to The Fast and the Furious franchise. The film was released on the same day as Furious 7. It not only is unfunny as usual, but also tasteless with its portrayal of the late Paul Walker.

The second release is Who the F#@k Took My Daughter?, which is obviously a spoof of the Taken series. No release date has been set, but don't be surprised if it comes off as worse than Taken 3.

Robert Rodriguez has been hailed as one of the most influential filmmakers in the past two decades, having written, produced, and directed masterpieces such as The Mexico Trilogy, From Dusk till Dawn, Planet Terror, and Machete. Some even consider Spy Kids (just the first film) as one of his best films as well. Then there's one film he decided to make because his kids literally wrote it. What was he thinking?

Oh yeah, Taylor Lautner's in it too, so it's automatically on this thread.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is hailed as the pinnacle of the Planet of the Apes franchise. This is the exact opposite.

BTW, check out the Honest Trailer on The Nostalgia Critic himself.

Has "Jupiter Ascending" made it to this list, if not it deserves a mention. Just saw it and I think I need a lobotomy.

Not yet, since it has a dedicated thread, but why not?

"Lucy" needs a mention here as well, though not AS bad as Jupiter Ascending that is merely a matter of degree. I think the writers were sniffing glue when writing that one.

The way I see it, Lucy was a leftover script written by Luc Besson while he was still married to Milla Jovovich. It's got that same action style as The Fifth Element and Jovovich's other action films.

I'd agree with one caveat, mentioning "The Fifth Element" and Lucy in the same sentence is kinda insulting to "The Fifth Element", OK more than just kinda...

Ok so Jupiter Ascending wasn't so good but im a huge fan of Mila Kunis so it simply didn't matter! I got my jollies watching her throughout the movie which was the most important thing! :p:D

M. Night Shyamalan jumps on the found footage bandwagon with his upcoming horror film The Visit, which opens on September 11. What plot twist will happen this time?

In the meantime, here's another look at one of his worst films.

So, I guess the point of that 10 minute long, profanity laced, verbose, rapid fire diatribe, is that MovieBob didn't like Pixels... with a foaming-at-the-mouth passion. This movie had Adam Sandler crap-fest plastered all over it from the nanosecond it was announced; did he expect anything else?
