What do you think about the film A Clockwork Orange (1971)?

How'd you rate this film, is it in your top ten ?


It is not in my Top 10, but I found it one of the darkest black comedies i had ever seen. Too bad Kubrick's ego kept it from being a truly fantastic film

Worst films of 2011

I will go out of my way to see some movies I missed in their original theatrical release for Top 10 consideration. But I don't have enough of a masochistic streak to do that for worst film consideration, which is why purportedly dreadful movies such as Jack & Jill are not on my list. (After last year's scabrous comedy Grown-Ups, I will not see an Adam Sandler movie unless I must review it.)

Of the movies I did see, I especially hated:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

When Keith Richards shows up to coherently contribute exposition about the Fountain of Youth, you know the fun is being well and truly leached from the Pirates movies. In fact, the whole franchise resembles the skeletal pirates of the first movie, dead but still mysteriously ambulatory.

2. New Year's Eve

Truly painful shmaltz in the template of Garry Marshall's hit Valentine's Day. I just have to think of the buffed, polished Jon Bon Jovi and Katherine Heigl on the screen together to give myself a case of the heebie-jeebies.
