The Top 10 Worst Films of 2011 ... So Far

Alas, not every movie can be a masterpiece, least of all during the first half of a year. Here now are my picks for the worst films released during the first six months of 2011. Note: As was the case with my best of selections, some of my picks will likely wind up on my year-end list.
1
It's astounding to me that these movies are still being made. It's even more astounding that they started making them in the first place.

It isn't often I come across a character so reprehensible that I actually wish him or her dead. Cameron Diaz plays someone very much like that.

I cannot think of a comedy this year that made less of an effort to be funny. James Franco, usually a reliable actor, gives one of the year's worst performances.

I refuse to be part of a world where pornographic necrophilia and the raping of newborns qualify as "symbolism."

One of the most incompetent martial arts films I've ever seen. I'm not sure anyone knew what they were doing when making this one.

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston have made their share of bad movies, but the real kicker is Nicole Kidman, who's usually capable of much better choices.

Martin Lawrence once again dons a fat suit and an old lady's dress in a comedy so contrived that's not just unfunny, it's painful.

A movie made with just about no audience in mind, not even believers of Ayn Rand's original novel. I can't remember the last time a movie has been this unendurably boring.

Some movies go too far in their efforts to push an agenda on audiences. By espousing hatred and violence on both ends of the religious spectrum, this one does exactly that.

An anthology film made up of five separate stories, each so venomous and depressing that it suggests anger and hatred on the part of writer/director Christopher Landon.

Why Atlas Shrugged in 2011? Never mind that the tedium of Rand's fiction renders it nigh-unreadable; the popularity of Objectivism is hardly at a zenith. Idiomatic fallacies central to that worst variant of classical liberalism have been debunked nearly so soundly as those of its Marxist opposition.
Despite so many admonitory reviews, I'd actually like to see Burning Palms. A dear friend labeled it "Solondz for retards," and between its abysmal cast and preposterous scenarios, I can't imagine that something so bad could possibly be boring.
