Rodney, there’s a Juno “backlash” contigent. We’re small but we’re out there. Check out rowthree.com.

Michael Bay didnt play Megatron? Really? I’m gonna have to IMDB that but if I’m wrong the resemblance is uncanny.

Michael Bay was not Megatron. Hugo Weaving was the voice of Megatron.

I think you are the first person to say something negative about Juno. Anywhere. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I have also yet to hear anything negative about it. Until now.

Topher Grace is good is Spider-Man. Raimi reinvisioned the character. Fanboys never get unconventional casting.
Who was the girl in Behind The Mask? That was a pretty terrible performance. SMG and the Rock and pretty much everyone in Southland Tales.
I don’t think she’s terrible but there are reasons I don’t like Ellen Page’s super stylized and far too self aware “comedic” performance in Juno.
Michael Bay was pretty terrible as Megatron. And I thought he’d be good in that role.

…and I forgot Alba in FF2. “There’s ALWAYS a choice!” HAHA, great stuff, really a riot.

As for Eddie Murphy in Norbit…yeah, the movie was AWFUL but he was good in it. No props to him for picking such despicable roles, but I gotta say…I just kept forgetting it was him when he became Rasputia or the Asian guy.

Venom. So much potential, and they waste him for Mary Jane’s career!

Everyone: Hannibal Rising

Heather Mazaratto: Hostel: Part II (WAAAY over-the-top, I felt so uncomfortable watching every scene with that ridiculous character in it)

Eva Mendez: Ghost Rider

Everyone: Reno 911 Miami (None of them brought any of their skill for improv comic delivery to this movie, allowing almost every ad-libbed gag to fall mercilessly flat)

I happened to se “I Know Who Killed Me”. I think Lohan gets demirit points for the dual long lost twin sister roles, but in spite of her acting or lack therof, there were a lot more flaws than Lohan regarding the film. The film isn’t even about her “exotic” dancing, but it did distract from the film during its promotion.

But since it was ballyhooed…when Lohan plays such a character and…she doesn’t, um, do the role she signed for (let’s put it that way) there’s a problem. Not that I wanted to see the double set, but y’know something? One should not make promises one cannot keep. In any case, the movie itself was awful.

John Travolta is picked on because he is John Travolta. Nothing more. However…there was Wild Hogs.

*****

Who was the worst?

Actress:

Let’s see…well, here’s where I stand. If Christian Bale was in three movies in 2007 and all perfomances were stellar….how about an actor or actress who also appeared in three 2007 films that were total stinkers? Fair enough?

Jessica Alba.
You know the three pictures…or you would rather forget them. And I actually liked some of FF2. Until Alba opened her chops, anyway.

Worst actor:

I was tempted to go Jon Heder, Chris Tucker, Jason Lee for Underdog & Chipmunks,Timothy Olyphant for Hitman..but I have to lay down the gauntlet here.

Ben Kingsley for You Kill Me, a film directed by John Dahl, in a film I just didn’t get.
