Some of those are good though. What's wrong with it?

thoughts? Time for Red Reed to retire?

Downsizing is Alexander Payne so I'm sure it's awful, and Suburbicon never looked good despite that cast/Clooney directing and the Coens co-writing. But the mother!, Get Out, and IT are legitimately good. Disaster Artist is supposedly one of the best films of the year. And A Cure for Wellness was meh but the visuals and score are some of the best this year. In a year that's seen Ghost in the Shell, Baywatch, and The Last Jedi, no way in hell are these the ten worst movies of the year.

Don't you even dare....

You just know It was included because teeny boppers complained it wasn't scary enough.

zorbonaut · 12-29-2017, 08:23 PM

I've only seen 3 on the list.

It- not great
Downsizing- Love Payne but one of his poorer recent films.
Get Out- One of the better Horror/Thrillers to come out in the last 5 years.

2017 has not been great so far. Hoping Phantom Thread makes 2017 all worth it though.

Rodney-2187 · 12-29-2017, 08:26 PM

Get Out
Colossal
A Cure for Wellness

It
Downsizing

The only movies that really disappointed me this year were:

Alien: Covnant

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

DanTheMan · 12-29-2017, 08:28 PM

At least half of that list is laughable. Film is subjective and everything, but Get Out? It? The Disaster Artist? Worst of the worst?

Really?

MifuneFan · 12-29-2017, 08:30 PM

My thought is that Rex Reed is an irrelevant loser, and any list of his doesn't deserve a thread, or any other kind of attention.

lol.

I had no idea Rex Reed was still around. All I can really remember about him was that he often made catty comments about the looks of actors and actresses, and was a prodigious quote *****.

MifuneFan · 12-29-2017, 08:34 PM

We need an Armond White thread now too I guess.

Rex Reed is a pontificating coward of a critic. Can't stand the f**ker.

Creed · 12-29-2017, 08:52 PM

Yeah, I call bullshit on this list. Some I get, but mother!, Get Out and A Cure For Wellness are great, latter underrated.

IT? Can't be that bad. Looks solid. No Emoji Movie, Transformers...
Did he even watch much movies?

Britbuffguy · 12-29-2017, 08:52 PM

I have FALLEN and MOTHER rented to watch this weekend, only seen GET OUT, IT, CURE FOR WELLNESS and COLOSSAL...lowest Id go was 3.5/5, bit most were 4/5 plus. What is this guy smoking?

No way in hell are Jedi, Ghost or Baywatch the worst 10 either.
