Loved it as a kid. Love it now for its truly pathetic, well, everything. But if anyone was well paid for this film, they most certainly did not deserve it. Princess Daisy(Peach, I'm assuming?) the least.

This was the worst video game movie pre Uwe Boll. I was very dissapointed by it, and if ever a movie deserves to be made (or remade) using Pixar-like animation, it's Super Mario Brothers.

Bob-omb with Reebok product placement FTW.
I still have this flick on VHS. One of my favorite guilty pleasures.

Next: 4. Tony Curtis in "The Bad News Bears Go to Japan"(1978)
"Walter Matthau wisely wanted no part of this inept sequel (neither, apparently, did Tanner or Lupus). But Curtis was only too willing to check his pride at the door to play a sleazy promoter in what wound up being a smorgasbord of racial gags (those crazy Asians and their endless bowing! And get this, they eat raw fish...what savages!). It's amazing Japan remained an ally after this came out."

"3. Sir Ben Kingsley in "BloodRayne"(2005)
"They say Gandhi used to get in bed with two naked women just to test his willpower. We wonder if Kingsley's decision to star in BloodRayne was a similar test. Directed by hack extraordinaire Uwe Boll (House of the Dead), this miasma of vampire hokum stars Sir Ben as Kagan, king of the vampires. Between this and Thunderbirds, the Queen's gotta be kicking herself a bit about the whole knighthood thing."
Maybe Sir Ben need money, because the level of crap is steadily rising. But Uwe Boll? C'mon. There's no pretense of quality.

At one point Blood Rayne had a yahoo user rating of A-. Its the closest I have ever come to spitting out my drink in disbelief.

Next: 2. Richard Burton in "Exorcist II: The Heretic"(1977)
"Looking like he just came off of the world's longest (and sweatiest) whiskey bender, Burton plays a Vatican investigator charged with reopening the Regan MacNeil case. Burton's soldier of Christ battles a ridiculous demon named Pazuzu and is even forced to wear a snug safari outfit. Wanna bet those stormy years with Liz Taylor — sorry, Pearl Slaghoople — were looking pretty sweet mid-shoot?"

Exorcist II actually has a great cast for a crap movie
Richard Burton,James Earl Jones,Ned Beatty, MAx Von Syndow,Paul Henreid.
Cast them in a movie with a decent script and a better director and you might have something

1. Robert De Niro in "The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle"(2000)
"He was the young Vito Corleone. He was Travis Bickle. He was Jake La Motta, Rupert Pupkin, and Al Capone. He's been nominated for six Oscars. He is our greatest living actor. No question, no room for debate. And yet, there is that one little aberration. Little? Who am I kidding? One huge-ass aberration called The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle — an insult so epic that he could spend the rest of his days going door-to-door with FTD bouquets, Whitman's Samplers, and personal mea culpas to every ticket buyer...and then, maybe then, we could forgive him for Fearless Leader, a performance so mind-bogglingly bad that it's almost avant-garde. Perhaps then we could erase the image of De Niro dressed in Nazi garb with a monocle, looking like Heinrich Himmler (for the record, Himmler wasn't funny). And we could forget the sight of De Niro getting jiggy with it (neither is this). And, worst of all, his ''You talkin' to me?'' bit, where you can actually witness a legend crapping all over his legacy. No, come to think of it, all of those acts of contrition still wouldn't be enough. There's really no excuse he could offer to heal our broken hearts."
