Sorry, but this is kind of a bad list. I can at least agree with Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch. Despite the fact that Blair Witch I never found to be that good, and it only skated by on a brilliant marketing campaign.

As for the other three? Not even worthy of a list like this really considering all the other options:

Super Size Me: Sure, the movie only cost 65,000 to make. However, tack on the extra million + that they dumped into advertising for that ...

Really? $150 million isn't "low budget" by any stretch of the imagination.

Last I saw him was in Scott Pilgrim and Dylan Dog. Not sure what he's doing next.

They are working on a Spawn reboot. It was brought up last year sometime. Last I heard, the script was still being worked on. Todd McFarlane himself is writing the script.

I wouldn't say I loved it, but I definitely didn't hate it. I enjoyed it well enough. Never understood why all the hate either. Was it the best? No. But it wasn't horrible either, I thought.

Hell, I even liked the spin-off, Elektra. But that got ripped apart too for some reason.

Calendar Man wasn't really a part of that world. He never had any significance in that game really. He was more an easter egg than anything else.

To be honest, when compared to the more prominent and fantastical characters, Calendar Man is a third-rate villain. He's cool in theory, but he hasn't nothing that really makes him stand out as a main player in the Batman universe. He's more the type that would be suited as a character in some serial killer crime dr...

I would have LOVED to see Nolan do a take on Riddler. With a serious, dark tone such as Nolan has done, Riddler could have been amazing.

Since it's mentioned, I do think Jim Carrey gets a bad wrap for his portrayal. As this article mentions, the portrayal was indeed campy which didn't make it as good as it had potential to be (if for instance a more serious and dark one was done by someone like Nolan). But, that wasn't Carrey's fault. That was a directional c...

I'm working on ideas for that (to level the playing field and whatnot).

So stupid that they just up and decided to do this this close to release. You would think they'd better plan things. Not to mention it makes the movie seem worse. It's almost like they're saying: Ok, we realize this movie sucks so we're going to make some last minute adjustment to at least milk it for a few more dollars so as not to disappoint too much.

I just watched The Avengers yesterday finally (pretty damn good by the way). But, the TDKR trailer was attached to the movie. I had already seen the trailer, but just seeing it again and seeing it on the big screen no less gave me goose bumps. I am so ready for this movie. The posters here look pretty cool. Nothing special, but nice.

Really, can't get too terribly much better than The Exorcist in the horror genre.

In the creature feature subgenre, I thought The Reef was pretty decent. It was refreshing in it's approach that was much more dramatic than your typical fare these days, and better use of tension.

As for Cult Horror, I'd say there's more there to appreciate, depending on taste. Plenty of good/decent ones on there. I do have to point out one, though, that's n...

I think you misunderstood. Main_Street was making a joke, saying that Keaton wasn't the best Batman, rather Kevin Conroy was. Kevin Conroy voiced Batman in many animated series and movies. This is also what gaden_malak was referring to when saying that Conroy had never acted the part (because he's actually only ever voiced it).

We'll have the same Bruce Banner. Hulk might be another story. Lou Ferigno plays Hulk in The Avengers. Haven't heard anything about his future with the franchise.

Agreed. Very cool indeed. That's some magnificent makeup work. Saw this earlier today and was blown away.

All movies make cuts. Every film you've ever watched it "incomplete" in that it was edited down and had scenes removed. It's just he couldn't put out a 3hr long movie. They always shoot more than is really going to be in the movie. That way they have more than enough to use and are able to use what works and what doesn't. Sometimes things just don't work when you get in there in the editing room. Not to mention, with studios have control over final cut, sometimes...

I wouldn't mind David Slade. He could do good with it. He has experience with YA material. His work with Hard Candy also proves he can handle a strong female lead as well as handle visceral material well, along with ratcheting up tension. And he's definitely a slick and stylistic director, which he proved best in 30 Days of Nights.

However, he does have TV shows he's working on. Not sure how involved he still is with Awake. However, he is also doing the Hannibal s...

Yeah, I imagine they'll need tons of extras. Especially considering they'll need to fill the stadium to shoot games for the movie.

No way. Michael Bay has hired a model (who most likely can't act) to serve as eye-candy? Wow, I'm shocked.

I'm not one of those people that constantly overly-ridicule Bay, but he does have a problem with doing this all the time. I'd much more prefer a cute girl who can act as opposed to some really hot chick that can't, just so they can do a tilt shot scanning up her legs to a really short skirt.

I think this was one of those things you see coming from a mile away. It was fairly clear from the way they were handling her character that she was going to be sticking around for a while.

Now, I just want season 3 to hurry up and get here!

Never seen New Girl and I have no desire to ever see anything Glee. However, I do like Raising Hope, so I'm glad to see that's getting renewed.
