Bad Movies We Love: Punchline

Posted on June 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Before you watch Tom Hanks cling to Julia Roberts and a deplorable moped in Larry Crowne this weekend, please take a moment to remember when he clung to Sally Field and a mic stand in the 1988 riot of confusion called Punchline . It’s about standup comedy. Which is funny! When it is funny. And Punchline ? Is not that word, which is repeated repeatedly in Punchline . That’s what qualifies it as a lovably bad movie, not to mention the most appropriately titled one of all time. Because it is not funny. But it is a joke. And I doubt you’ve heard this one before.

Bad Movies We Love: Shanghai Surprise

Posted on May 25, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I tried so hard to find an Oprah-themed Bad Movie We Love this week. Bad news, my darlings: they’re all not good enough. Beloved is too boring, Native Son is too serious, and The Color Purple is too funny. (Trust me.) So I rallied and made big choices. This week I’m commemorating Tree of Life star Sean Penn’s filthy past and Oprah’s biggest finale guest : the ineffable, the insufferable, La Sleaza Bonita herself, Madonna. Read: THIS IS A GREAT DAY. And the movie is a legend among awful, latrine-stink cinema, a rancid little misfortune cookie called Shanghai Surprise . Or as I prefer to call it: Not-So-Fast Times with Frigid Wife .

Bad Movies We Love: The Room

Posted on April 6, 2011 by | Leave a comment

What do you say about the film that says it all? How can words add anything to this towering cinematic fortress of prestige? Is it wrong to “describe” senselessness? I’m a valiant first-time viewer of Tommy Wiseau’s 2003 dada vortex, and I’m going to attempt to convey the whimsical hemorrhage I just experienced. Spoiler: I ain’t Jill Bolte Taylor , and I won’t succeed at this feat. Here’s to a good effort.

DVD: However You Spend Valentine’s Day, Spend It With Audrey Hepburn

Posted on February 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Heaven knows, Hollywood keeps churning out the pixie-ish leading ladies for its romantic comedies, but pretty much no one in the history of American cinema has succeeded in out-gamine-ing Audrey Hepburn, the Dutch-born superstar who has become the standard for, well, just about everything for subsequent generations of starry-eyed women. So whether you’re dating, married, or sitting out this V-Day, let Miss Hepburn be your guide.

Newsies Musical Gets Start Date

Posted on February 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Newsies , perhaps the greatest Bad Movie We Love , will hit Broadway as a new musical from Sept. 15-Oct. 16 at Millburn, New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse. Original composer Alan Menken is signed on, and he says the show “latche[s] onto exciting elements of what we had in the movie,” while “minimizing the things that were not so great about the movie.” This is a man who understands lovable badness.

2010 Box Office Receipts: 3-D Surcharges Are Alive and Well

Posted on December 29, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The year-end box office receipts are in, and Hollywood fell just short of last year’s record-setting $10.6 billion haul. While ticket receipts still broke $10 billion, overall attendance this year dropped a whopping 5.36 percent, making 2010 the second-lowest-attended year of the last decade. This drop, along with the fact that awful 3-D conversion of Clash of the Titans finished just outside the top 10, suggests that audiences this year were totally down with that 3-D surcharge. Also interesting is the fact that almost half of the top 10 films of the year, including the number-one ranked Toy Story 3 , were CGI animation. Watch your backs, bankable actors!

Before Ryan Gosling sent blue valentines to the Academy, he sent regular old valentines to the romcom community with The Notebook , this week’s addition to the Bad Movies We Love vault. God, this movie. So gooey. So maudlin. And best of all, so medically improbable. If you think this story of memory loss and romance is feasible, then your favorite docudrama of the past 10 years might be 50 First Dates . Erase your common sense and join us for a lovely, super-mocking trip into The Notebook .

Bad Movies We Love: Spider-Man 3

Posted on November 24, 2010 by | Comments Off on Bad Movies We Love: Spider-Man 3

We revived Bad Movies We Love last week with Cher’s Chastity , a quaint ’60s jam full of boring monologues and menacing lesbianism. But Movieline is barreling ahead with a film that combines superhero glitz, melodrama and the campy pizazz of a Gwen Stacy dye job: Spider-Man 3 . You think James Franco is fancy now with his Oscar buzz and amputee cred ? Wait until you revisit him in Spider-Man 3 , the film that pinned our disbelief under a boulder and forced us to saw it off using Topher Grace’s frosty tips. Are you emotionally ready to revisit when Spider-Man went emo?
