The 20 Worst Movies of 2010, in a Convenient “Top”-10 List:

10) The Bounty Hunter, Killers, Valentine’s Day, When in Rome – How many of you wound up seeing one of these “date movies” while on a date? How many of you immediately broke up with the person whose idea it was?

9) Predators, Skyline – Watch the skies. Watch paint dry. Watch anything else.

8) Flipped, Secretariat – Big-screen nostalgia for people who say, “They don’t make ’em like they used to,” and forget that they also made fraudulent pieces of crap back when they used to.

7) Gulliver’s Travels, Little Fockers – Ho ho no.

6) Alpha & Omega, Marmaduke, The Spy Next Door, Yogi Bear – As babysitters go, these kiddie flicks only cost you about four dollars an hour. You still got robbed.

5) Chain Letter – Forward to whomever you hate most.

4) Sex & the City 2 – Regarding the once-great franchise that spawned this grotesquely garish outing, co-star Chris Noth is quoted as saying, “The press killed it.” Happy to help, Mr. Noth.

3) Furry Vengeance, Our Family Wedding – Live-action movies that found animals driving motor vehicles, intentionally unplugging treadmills, and, after humping Forest Whitaker’s leg, saying, “Call me.” And those were the believable scenes.

2) Cop Out – Worse than Jersey Girl. Worse than Bonfire of the Vanities. Worse, probably, than Tracy Jordan’s Fat Bitch and Jefferson movies.

1) The Last Airbender – Please God let this be true.
