Just about any film with Jim Carrey in a comedic role, since I'm not under age 15. Yeah, he can stretch his face and act like he's the middle school clown. We get it.
To his credit, he was very good in The Truman Show and playing Andy Kaufman (Man on the Moon).

He was great in A Series of Unfortunate Events.

You really do have a knack for this. Straight and to the point.

In all seriousness, I find it interesting how the same actor can deliver both amazing performances and crap performances. Wish I could think of an example right now but it escapes me at the moment. I think it’s the director that makes the difference. They have the ability to get that performance. I guess having the ability to pick a good script doesn’t hurt either.

You'd get arrested for digging him up though.

Yeah. But just mostly dead.

I'm horrible if I have to explain why I don't like something when it's just me being my weird self.

Gangster squad. I love mob movies, this one sucked.

It's not recent, but this reminded me of how much I hated The Godfather: Part III. Man, that one was bad.

And Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. But I guess that wasn't really a comedy, so...

My nomination is for Gravity. I can't say I loathed it, but I did think it was massively overrated.

I'm okay with watching Sandra Bullock for two hours. ;-)

I loved the scene at the end (spoiler alert!) where she has crash landed into the ocean, swims to shore like a fish, slithers up on the beach like a reptile, rises to all fours like a mammal, and then stands erect bipedal like homo-sapiens. She covered the whole gamut of evolution there in that scene, and I wonder how many people got that comparison.

Red Dawn. No way a bunch of Russians got their ass handed to them by a bunch of Americans, even ones led by Patrick Swayze!

[jackwallace 3]

American Hustle. It was advertized as a comedy= wasn't funny. It wasn't bad or good, just unh.

U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler.

I didn't realize that 1984 was "relatively recent."

The remake was absolutely horrific though.
