The 20 Worst Movies of 2014

The holiday season is a time of happy thoughts. Believe it or not, these movies give me the giggles. It's because of films like this, I can better appreciate how much effort it takes to actually make something most of us praise as good. So yeah, I'm giving thanks for these turkeys. I'm probably pissing a few of you off in the process, too. Ah, good times. I have reviewed most of the offenders right here on this site. Click on the titles to get a clearer understand why these movies are here.


Stuff I'm told is bad, but I decided to skip: Atlas Shrugged Part III: Who is John Galt, Best Night Ever, Devil's Knot, Drive Hard, Hateship, Loveship, Heaven is For Real, Labor Day, Left Behind, The Legend of Hercules, Men, Women, and Children, Miss Meadows, The Nut Job, Saving Christmas, Third Person, Walk of Shame, Winter's Tale

The movie yearns for the days when men brought home the bacon for women to fry up in a pan.


It's a mess I'd rather not spend anymore time on.

This is a string of dreadful jokes that thud loudly as they crash into a bucket of unfunny.

Think Transformers, but with turtles in place of robots.

Earth to Echo has all of Spielberg's style, but none of his substance.

Everything about this movie feels overly contrived and overly derivative.

I spent the entire runtime thinking how much better this would've been if it were actually about Wanda.

To create the sequel, directors Rodriguez and Miller definitely used the bottle marked Sin City. They just never caught the lightning to go in it.

We're left with a film struggling to remove the spectacle from a story which most lends itself to that very thing.

It tries to give us the same plot when it doesn't fit the people our heroes were at the end of the first film.

A kooky sci-fi thriller that swims in deep waters, and drowns.

While trying to cram in as many bad guys and plot lines as it possibly can, it makes a mess of itself.

Nothing happens. Nothing at all.

Hardy is a great performer, but even he can't make watching someone talk on their cell phone during a really long drive interesting.

A collection of still photos rapidly cycled through in one of those four minute time-lapse videos you can watch on YouTube would have had the same effect, and taken up much less of your day.

The credits roll and we realize yet another novel for young adults (that I'll never read) has been made into a crappy movie.

I'm guessing Seth McFarlane has some incriminating photos of Charlize Theron locked away somewhere. Why else would she agree to be in this?

As assembled, it's a jumble of parts meant for different machines.

It's as bad as you've heard. It's probably worse than that, really.

I actually want some Godzilla in my Godzilla movies.
