While most of the cinematic world was collectively
deciding to get its shit together, some filmmakers had other ideas.
Specifically, they had some truly baffling, who-in-the-hell-thought-these-were-good
ideas, the results of which gave us some outright garbage movies. I am somewhat
thankful that this list was relatively easy to draw up, since there weren’t that many films that qualified for the
absolute worst of the year. But man, the ones that did made for some truly
despicable moments. Let’s get to burning this garbage pile as I get into my Top
20 Worst Films of 2018.

Book Club (2018) - Movie Review
The plot: For the past thirty years, best friends Diane (Diane Keaton), Vivian (Jane Fonda), Sharon (Candice Bergen) and Carol (Mary Steenburgen) have met up every month for book club. One month, they choose Fifty Shades Of Grey as their book, and as they read on, they find themselves questioning where they are in life and love and whether they're going to do something about it.

Fifty Shades Darker (2017) - Movie Review
Well, the heavily-publicised holiday(?) of Valentine’s Day
has come and gone, and hopefully you spent it better than I did. Back in 2015,
I forewent the usual nothing I was planning on doing for this special day, put
on my best suit and tie (that is to say my only
suit) and went out to see Fifty Shades Of Grey on the big screen. I didn’t like
it; here’s over 2000 words explaining why. Last year, things turned out a lot
better with the release of Deadpool, and even considering my own misgivings
with the film overall, it was still a fun night out. This year, it’s back to
what I guess can be called business as usual with the follow-up to that film I
am so utterly apathetic towards. So, I dusted off the same suit and (somehow)
got someone else to tag along with me this time around, and sat down to prepare
myself for what will be coming my way next year with the finale. Time to dig
into this bewildering follow-up and see how exactly this managed to be even worse than the original.

Fifty Shades Of Black (2016) - Movie Review
Since starting my month-long movie marathon, have to admit,
the results have been a lot more positive than I was expecting. Sure, not all
of them have good but, at worst, we’ve only really touched the realms of lame
instead of outright bad. Well, time to change all that. I’ve talking before
about watching movies as a form of emotional therapy, and as masochistic as it
is, that involves bad movies as well. If there is one thing that cinema has
taught me when it comes to the emotional condition of humanity, it’s that even
anger has its place in the output. As such, it’s time for me to delve into
Fifty Shades territory again, which once again means that I’ll discuss
indulging in painful acts under my own volition, as well as revisiting the
spoof movie. Let the airing of grievances begin! This is Fifty Shades Of Black…
ugh, even the title of this thing makes me cringe.

Top 20 Worst Films Of 2015
Time to air out the last of the dirty laundry as I delve
into the Top 20 worst features I had to sit through last year. Why Top 20?
Because how many Top 10 film lists have you seen with 10 'honourable mentions'?
Might as well cut out the middle man if I’m going to do that. Just like last
year, this list is comprised solely of theatrical releases: If it was released
during the year through DVD, NetFlix or elsewhere on the Web, it doesn’t get
counted. This is just reserved for the celluloid trash that the studios, in
their infinite wisdom, decided was worthy of getting a proper release. These
are my picks for the 20 worst films of 2015.
