Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
Impressive! The biggest product placement movie ever, the product being the Smithsonian. I hope they didn't pay much though. This flick that manages to belittle that institution and distort American (and world) history in the process. Also, for good measure, this flick manages to demean Abraham Lincoln (and have that Kentucky born gentleman speak with a British accent [which they may try to tell you is supposed to be an uppercrust American accent]) and Albert Einstein. Nothing like replacing thought, care, good writing and craft with CGI and 'tude! It's just a pity Thomas Lennon was involved.

Star Trek
An abomination. This flick was like watching untalented high school kids act out a Star Trek parody during the annual talent show. All individuals involved in this flick should never be allowed in the film industry again. They should be put on outhouse detail during Chicago's Blues Fest, though that may be too good for them. There's a special torture waiting for the dork who played "Spock."

The Day The Earth Stood Still
...you will still be mourning the time wasted on this film. Since you don't believe me, here's an example: a joke from the film. Scene: a group of people who have just been kidnapped by the government and are sitting in a van. Man one: "So, we're all scientists?" Man two: "No, I'm a civil engineer." (The fact that I "get" this joke just proves that I suck).
