1. Crow The Wicked Prayer (aka Crow 4)

I have caught this movie on telly by chance. I realized it was the Crow series when I saw Edward Furlong in full make-up. Well he was either playing the Crow or very bad version of Joker from Batman. I could not keep track of what was going on, but I was mesmerized by the way Furlong slouched. Yes, slouched. To this day I do not know in aid of what that was, but no wonder I could not keep up with the plot.

2. Double Team

Now I know this will subject me to scorn, however I saw this movie in the cinema. I have actually paid for a ticket to see this rubbish! In my defense, even though there is no reasonable defense, I thought Dennis Rodman was absolutely charming at that time. What is the movie about? Suffice to say it had Jean Claude Van Damme - Dennis Rodman – Mickey Rourke combo. Now that had written flop all over it even before the movie was released.

3. anything with Steven Segal

Before I hear from any of you Segal enthusiasts yes I am aware he does ALL the stuns himself. It has been pointed out to me before. However that does not excuse his bad acting. He should be a stuntman then, not qualify himself as an actor.

4. Battlefield Earth

What in the world possessed John Travolta to make this movie, I don’t know. No scratch that. What in the world’s name possessed all these other actors to star in this one that is the question. Although I am a bit surprised Tom Cruise did not at least get a cameo role. Sci-Fi at its worst.

5. Lawnmowerman series

The silliest movie ever. And not in a good way. Virtual reality my arse. Just plain bad, bad, bad.

6. Swept Away

How can it even be possible that a man who made “Snatch” and “Lock, Stock and 2 smoking barrels” agreed to put his name on this movie? Madonna can be Guy Ritchie’s missus 3 times over, but there are no excuses for anything like this mind-numbingly boring drivel. And as experience has shown Madonna should stick to singing.

7. Showgirls

From what I have gathered, this movie has a cult following. Why? Because Gina Gershon and Elizabeth Berkley take their clothes off? You can see that in any strip club. And as for acting I thought Elizabeth Berkley had a severe case of PMS, but then I realized it was supposed to be dramatic acting. Tssss!

8. Gigli

Has anyone seen this movie ever? If Jennifer Lopez/Ben Affleck, the most popular combo of that time, did not manage to attract a few people to the cinema, can you imagine how bad it really is?

9. People I know

I am aware Al Pacino is in this movie and up until this point I thought Al Pacino could not possibly be in a bad movie. Boy was I wrong. I was distracted by 2 things, a) Al Pacino’s dirty fingernails throughout the movie (absolutely horrid) and b) I kept waiting for something substantial to happen. When something did happen and I exclaimed “Finally!” the closing credits started to roll. Maybe I am completely obtuse or it is Heidegger-deep, however to this day I do not know what this particular movie was about.

10. Miss Congeniality 2

I love comedies. Love them. But this is not a comedy. This is hour and half of pure torture and hour and a half I of my life I will never get back. The only good thing is I got this on DVD, if I went to a cinema I would demand a refund. As I am not confrontational person by nature, you can get a glimpse of how bad it is.

So this is my list. If anyone has seen anything equally horrible or even worse, feel free to add your “favorites”.

To be quite honest, I thought season 3 of Grey’s anatomy dragged on and on. Sure there were some high points (3 episodes story arch was quite intriguing, resurrection of Denny and did-Meredith-die was beautifully done) but then there was the Izzie-George thing that did not sit well with me at all. But then again that’s just me.
What will happen now? Well as we know Addison left Seattle Grace for Private Practice (I think that’s how the show is called) and Burke is not coming back either. But his momma will be making a repeat visit. Also Meredith’s half sister (Chyler Leigh) is becoming a regular. Now that should be interesting if you remember she had the audacity to chat up McDreamy, the cheek of her. As for George he will have a lot on his plate with failing his exams, also I am pretty sure Izzie-George thing is not going away anytime soon. I am not getting too excited, but hmmm I do wonder who are they planning to pair up with Cristina? I mean its Grey’s anatomy after all.

Grey’s anatomy season 4 premiere on Sept.27^th on ABC.

It the beginning of September and the new show wars have started. We are bombarded by previews and trailers from all sides, so I have decided to do a little bombarding of my own.

Private Practice - ABC

Ever since Grey’s Anatomy went down the drain with the “sex sells, but forbidden sex between interns and residents sells better” attitude, I’ve been waiting for the spin-off which will continue on the original concept “medicine, relationships and great music sell” and possibly make it better. First Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, which follows Dr Addison Forbes Montgomery (ex-Sheppard) to LA as she starts her new carrier in the upscale Oceanside Wellness Clinic, just might be the show to do that. We’ll see.

Cast: Chris Lowell, KaDee Stritckland, Amy Brenneman, Tim Daly, Audra McDonald, Kate Walsh, Paul Adelstein, Taye Diggs
Start Date: September 26, 9 pm

Pushing Daisies - ABC

OK, the story sounds a bit iffy, but if nothing else it could be an hour long car crash. And I love’s me some of hour long car crashes! The story goes as follows: A guy has the ability to bring the dead back to life if the touches them. A guy uses his power to solve murder cases. A guy revives his childhood sweetheart as part of her murder investigation. A guy and girl fall back in love. A guy can’t touch his girl ever again or she’ll drop dead, and not in a gorgeous way! Interesting?

Cast: Swoosie Kurtz, Ellen Greene, Chi McBride, Anna Friel, Lee Pace, Kristin Chenoweth
Start Date: October 3, 8 pm

Big Shots - ABC

The series follows four CEOs who try to make sense of their personal and professional lives through male bonding. Well, …, the cast is good so I have great expectations. Just as long the testosterone doesn’t take over the show.

Cast: Michael Vartan, Dylan McDermott, Christopher Titus, Joshua Malina
Start Date: September 27, 10 pm

Reaper - CW

I’m really excited about this show. A Kevin Smith project about a slacker who becomes a bounty hunter for the devil after his parent sell his soul to the Devil. Common this must be a blast. Can’t wait for this one to start.

Cast: Bret Harrison, Tyler Labine, Ray Wise, Valarie Rae Miller, Missy Peregrym
Start Date: September 25, 9 pm

Back To You - Fox

I’ve always liked Kelsey Grammer. He reminds of those Shakespearian actors that bring stature to the screen. Although, this concept of once-popular newscasters reunited once again after he failed in a promotion to a bigger market, sounds a lot like real life Frasier spin-off, but I’m willing to give it a try. Once again the cast is promising and who didn’t like Frasier!

Cast: Kelsey Grammer, Patricia Heaton, Fred Willard, Ty Burrell, Laura Marano, Josh Gad
Start Date: September 19, 8 pm
