-Finding Nemo: I just couldn't find anything particularly great about it. I know that it was this super movie for kids and adults alike, but I'd rather spend my money on something else.
-Gone with the Wind: arguabally one of the famous movies in history, this piece was one of the first epics. That being said, the movie was terrible. The characters were terribly one dimentional, the directing reminded me of the Blair Witch Project, and the thing went on forever. I started watching the movie 12 years ago, and I'm only half done.
-Home Alone: everyone thought this was cute and hilareous. I really, really didn't. Besides the music (by John Williams), this film was 100% formula and 0% substance. Comedies can have substance, people. Garden State is a good example.
-My Big Fat Greek Wedding: I have never seen a comedy less funny than this. It was a great let down.
-Titanic: This movie haunted me for over a year. I made the mistake of seeing it once. I've never been more pissed leaving a theater. Everyone was crying and laughing and was overjoyed, while I was filled with an indescribable rage. A long series of cliches spread across a terrible disaster, trying to give the history some unneeded romantic meaning. Will there be a movie called "Twin Towers" in 40 years, in which two people fall in love in the World Trade Center before it is taken down? This was not only a travesty for what it was, but for what it did. This movie made something like $600 million, making it the top grossing film of all time. This replaced a much greater movie, Star Wars Episode 4, that actually was a breakthrough in every way. People would go and see titanic 20 or 30 times. At $8 a ticket, that is one person spending $160-$240 at the box office on one movie. Clearly people have too much money. On top of all this, there was this song worse that I have words for choking the life from what little substance was left on the radio. That banshee of a singing witch Selene Dion, like nails on an astronomical chalkboard, was the stuff of the cruelest nightmares. The song played on every station (I even heard it on the local classical music station, the one place I thought would be safe from the insanity) constantly for months. Seeing Titanic is the only mistake I have made that I feel would merrit inventing a time machine in order to correct. So, as you can see, I didn't care for the movie.
