My #1 Movie to Watch on New Year's Eve: 200 Cigarettes (1999)

200 Cigarettes (1999)

"It's 11:59 on New Year's Eve. Do you know where your date is?"

 

Directed by Risa Bramon Garcia

Starring: Paul Rudd, Courtney Love, Dave Chappelle...just to name a few

 

 

"A collection of twentysomethings try to cope with relationships, loneliness, desire and their individual neuroses." (IMDB.com)

 

 

I know that this comedy didn't get the best reviews, but I don't care because I've loved it ever since I saw it in the theater when it was released in 1999. I just wish it would be released on Blu-Ray or at the very least, re-released on DVD because I need to buy a copy.

RiffTrax Fans: The Twilight Saga is the Worst Movie of All Time

RiffTrax, a website from the guys of Mystery Science Theater 3000, put a question to their fans, what is the worst movie of all time? Well, 500,000 votes later, they got their answer...The Twilight Saga with 35,593 votes. Something tells me that all the Twihards out there are going to pissed off when they see the results of the poll.

This is how RiffTrax describes The Twilight Saga: "Mumble mumble mumble moon eyes. Mumble mumble mumble mumble lay in a field. Mumble mumble mumble perv on a baby. Mumble." Pretty accurate, if you ask me.

If you missed a chance to vote, I know I did, then don't worry because they are going to do it again next year. Twilight has a pretty good chance of remaining #1 unless a film comes along in 2013 that's worse. Is it possible? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Here's the top 10 as chosen by the fans (for the full list, click the link above):

 

#10: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

#9: Son of the Mask

#8: Jack and Jill

#7: Battlefield Earth

#6: Super Mario Bros.

#5: The Last Airbender

#4: Spider-Man 3

#3: Catwoman

#2: Batman and Robin

#1: The Twilight Saga
