Freedom Writers (2007)
Weak. Superficial story, ridiculously stereotyped characters. If inner city schools had this many stereotypes, they would be BORING, not scary. No subplot, no humor, no surprises. Dangerous minds, only with a less attractive teacher.

Gung Ho (1986)
Neither funny nor dramatic. Barely kept my interest. Even as a kid, I remember thinking it was pretty awful. Might have been the first movie I saw in the theater that I hated.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
Decent story, but some of the science is a little silly. Montalban’s muscle suit is a bit ridiculous. He claims it was natural, but there’s no way. A cute and svelt Kirstie Alley surely didn’t appreciate being called “Mr. Saavik” for the whole film. My favorite bit of trivia is…

Bedazzled (2000)
As hot as Hurley is, my detest of Fraser made this movie nearly unwatchable.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
Meandered a bit. He knew a tugboat captian and worked at sea for a bit, but it hardly seems like he had a life. Instead, we focus on his relationships with his girlfriends and his mother. No guy friends? He’s not a terribly redeeming character, either. He just keeps walking…
