The Bouw-Man's Year in Review: Part 1

140
When In Rome
 Americans owe the Italians a formal apology for putting their country through the ringer with this filth.

139
Like someone in the desert seeking water, you are in complete discomfort until the closing credits. 

138
If you want to include the NBA as a plot point, do some research and don’t insult fans of the game.

137
The Bounty Hunter
 Bounty should be placed on the heads of the people responsible for screwing audiences out of time. 

136
Twelve
About as enjoyable as flossing your teeth with barb wire, let’s hope nobody's kids end up like these.

135
The Runaways
Keep on running far away from this irksome look at the story behind Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. 

134
Go away now, Zac Efron. Some people may like to see you shirtless and smiling, but you can't act.

133
The title makes it too easy to criticize, but this spoof of "Twilight" generates nothing close to a laugh. 

132
Life During Wartime
Sequel to "Happiness" is a pitiful attempt to recapture the politically incorrect freshness of the first. 

131
I'm Still Here
Offensive fabricated documentary on Joaquin Phoenix's idiotic career transition from acting to rap.

130
Extraordinary Measures
Harrison Ford's attempt to break away from action films takes a turn for the worse with this eye sore.

129
Green Zone
Not about the environment or Michigan State Athletics, but a lame war movie six years past its prime.

128
The Clash of the Titans
Another remake of a childhood favorite making you long for days gone by, or at least a snow cone. 

127
As sloppy as eating chili with your hands, this pathetic sci-fi western doesn't even try to be diverting.

126
Creation
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution film is about as exhilarating as sitting through a Biology lecture.

125
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Try and convince yourself that the "Dark Knight" was Heath Ledger's last film, not this muddled mix.

124
Harry Brown
Michael Caine battles drug lords and gangs, but you wish he would just watch his "Matlock" instead.

123
The Wolfman
Prime example of an idea failing in execution phase, Jack Nicholson's "Wolf" looks a lot better now.

122
The Virginity Hit
Tim Allen's directorial debut makes you long for another "Santa Clause" movie, and that's just sad.

121
Tiny Furniture
Pointless "waste of space" effort that accomplishes nothing but making you curious as to its origin.

120
Crazy on the Outside
Tim Allen's directorial debut makes you long for another "Santa Clause" movie, and that's just sad.

119
Jack Black should only be taken in small doses, otherwise expect nausea and chronic headaches. 


118
Cop Out
Up and down film career of Bruce Willis continues with this shoddy effort with no redeemable value.

117
To say you wish someone would just kill you half way through it may be too harsh, but then again…

116
Trust
Tough to watch "after school special" about an online sexual predator's relationship with a teenager.

115
Welcome to the Riley's 
Uncomfortable drama about a couple having a difficult time coping with the death of their daughter.

114
Should've been titled, "Shrek: Greedy For More Money Even Though There's Nothing More To Tell."

113
The Last Song
Miley Cyrus tries and fails to break away from her Hannah Montana persona with this overdone sap.

112
Violent political statement falsely displayed as a satirical Mexican/American lone gunman action tale. 

111
Bunch of "over the hill" actions stars stay true to the crap films of their past with this waste material. 

110
Dear John
Remember the TV program "Dear John" with Judd Hirsch? Far from notable, but what a theme song.

109
From Paris with Love
Oh, so forgettable that you should make an appointment to see if your suffering from memory loss.

108
Nowhere Boy
Reserved for diehard Beatles fans who need to know everything about Lennon and how it all began.

107
Brooklyn's Finest
Same old cop story we've all seen a thousand times, only this time it's Gere, Hawke and Cheadle.

106
Not quite indicative of its identifier, but certainly doesn't break any rules in the realm of haplessness.

105
Animal Kingdom
Depressing Australian crime drama that will immediately make you question why you sat through it.

104
There is one funny scene and one funny scene only, so give it a look if that qualifies in your book.

103
Ondine
Difficult to follow Irish love story, your mind will drift to a simple place where thinking is for the weak.

102
Hereafter
A rare modern-day miss by Clint Eastwood, it offers nothing new to any sort of mortality argument.

101
Farewell
Based on an actual Soviet spy operation during the Cold War, you would think it would be powerful.

100
The Last Station
Story of Leo Tolstoy's struggle with fame and wealth doesn’t translate like it should on the big screen.
