The Year's Worst

Posted by Michael Dance

Everybody and their grandmother is making a list of the best movies/TV/music/etc. of the year. But which of those lists are the most fun? Yep, the Worst lists.

Entertainment Weekly weighs in on the worst movies of the year with two separate lists from their two critics:

Lisa Schwarzbaum's Bottom 5:
1. The Women
2. Seven Pounds
3. 88 Minutes
4. Speed Racer
5. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

Owen Gleiberman's Bottom 5:
1. Speed Racer
2. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
3. Patti Smith: Dream of Life
4. Australia
5. Hounddog

Miraculously, The Love Guru is left off both lists. You don't have to look to hard to find it ranked the #1 worst movie of the year in more than a few other outlets.

Among celebrities, according to People, the worst break-up of the year goes to Shania Twain and her husband of fourteen years, who started cheating on Twain with her friend, whose own husband then started an affair with Twain herself. Yikes. All four of them should just get in a boxing ring together.

According to Time Magazine, Madonna and Guy Ritchie should've won that award. Among their other lists, Joe the Plumber was the biggest "fleeting celebrity" of the year. #2 is Elliot Spitzer's prostitute, while the person highest on the list within the entertainment industry was American Idol's Jason Castro. (And, shocker, Barack Obama was named Person of the Year.)

How can Barak Obama be named Person of the Year? I mean nothing can be worse than the Bush years but for all anyone knows Obama might be as efficient as Mr Bean as President [mind you Bush was worse and at times funnier - in a scary way than Mr Bean!}. I think people should wait to see what he's about before naming him person of the year - of course it could be simple relief - someone other than Dubya! hee hee
