My Worst Movie This Year.

I only made it twenty minutes into one of the worst films I allowed myself to watch this year, Shoot Em' Up, before shutting it off. Considering it's the beginning of a new year, that isn't the most difficult thing in the world to do, but let me explain.

I had reservations in watching it in the first place because it was such a box office bomb, and it puzzles me that Rotten Tomatoes would rate it 67%. It's ratings like these that remind me why I consider Rotten Tomatoes a mediocre movie critic's website.

The movie is horribly reminiscent of everything that's wrong with movies today; writers crafting wannabe Pulp Fiction scripts for the 21st century's 'less than attentive' movie viewers. I'm sure that they figure by removing all substance and character development they'll have more time to insert 'death-by-carrot' scenes and other equally 'transfixing' methods of death or dismemberment. It's supposed to be humorous, but somehow lands in the same category of humorous that I place 'Dead Baby' jokes and the other box office blunder 'Crank'. Jason Statham used to be such a good actor...

I would like to extend further congratulations for Shoot Em' Up being the worst titled movie since Snakes On A Plane. May my God forgive me for even calling these movies.
