The Wedding Planner

So this is it. The last of the Dreadful Ten. I’ve watched ten horrible movies and taken notes, live, while watching. I did it because I needed to know. I did it because I was bored in Afghanistan. I did it… because I could. Now, for a final Fuck You from two stars we’ve already [...]

The Way We Were

In order to fully run the gamut of movies that do not contain what I believe so be the recommended allotment of shootings, dinosaurs, and/or the living dead, I’ve reached back in the vault for this one…
We’ve seen Romantic Comedies, Faux-Foreign Steamy Stories, Cute Adult Contemporaries, and Historical Love Tales. What we’re missing here is [...]

Tristan + Isolde

Being as how My Best Friend’s Wedding was the most painful movie thus far, I’m actually going to pick a movie this time. I can’t risk it. I’ll take…

Tristan + Isolde

Cover Features:
James Franco and Sophia Myles, neither of whom I’ve heard of, are looking off, stage right.
He looks like he sees something puzzling. Concerning.
She [...]

My Best Friend’s Wedding: Special Edition

In case you’re just joining us, that being all the cool people who have been hanging on every word I’ve typed, which is no one, I’m transcribing the notes I wrote while watching the few DVDs left for me in an equipment shelter that served as my temporary home in Middle of Nowhere, Afghanistan.
You gotta [...]

Sweet Home Alabama

Only five more Hell Movies to go! Christ: I had a lot of time out there. All alone with only the absolute worst DVDs.
And now, Eat Raw Notes and Enjoy My Pain…
I feel like the Crypt Keeper now. “Okay, Kiddies! What Horrors can I unleash upon you now?”
Except it’s really just me. I’m the [...]

Woman On Top

I’m only halfway through with this essay on How to Lose Your Mind in Ten Movies where I forced myself to watch a marathon of horrible dvds and write about them.
To recap, I wrote real-time as I watched them, in no particular order, and didn’t read the synopsis. I’m transcribing my notes just as [...]

Fools Rush In

The fourth movie in the Terrible Ten DVDs. Again: all notes are transcribed raw so as to bring you the unedited horror. With this next one, I didn’t randomly choose the movie, as it came in a two-pack with Maid in Manhattan and, according to the notes, I watched this right after that fresh hell. [...]

Maid in Manhattan

Stuck in the middle of Afghanistan. Travel back with me again to the summer of 2007. Travel a third time to experience the movies that you would fight to avoid, even with the hottest first date.
The following notes have not been edited.
Is it That Time already? Your days really fly by when you know you [...]

The Holiday

Continuing my terrifying experiment entitled “How to Lose Your Mind in Ten Movies” in which I randomly picked from a stack of DVDs left by the tenant of an equipment shelter in the middle of Afghanistan, watched them, and reported on what I was going through.
You can get the whole back story two articles [...]

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

This was the first of ten movies I randomly picked out from the awful, awful selection left to me in the middle of the desert two years ago. As explained in the last article, I did not read the back of the DVD box. But I did describe the picture on the front of the [...]
