Film Prophet's 3rd Annual Best &
Worst Movie Awards:
2006 Edition The 2006
movie year was reasonably lackluster. There weren't many high-quality
films or even performances that will most likely be deemed as landmarks.
Some 2006 movies had to be ignored too:
Let's Go to Prison, Zoom, Poseidon, The Shaggy Dog, Crank, The Texas
Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Hostel, The Marine, Failure to Launch,
Accepted, Date Movie, Nacho Libre, Stay Alive, Little Man, American
Dreamz, Saw III, Material Girls, Just My Luck, Invisible, School for Scoundrels,
The Break-Up, Annapolis, Employee of the Month,
The Last Kiss, The Lake
House, Man of the Year, The Pink Panther, Apocalypto, Eragon, Phat Girlz,
Miami Vice,
Gridiron Gang, Unaccompanied Minors, and many more.
In every year, there are usually more bad ones than bright ones, but
this year was unbelievably immense with a large ratio of bad ones. The
overall decent movies to watch and write a review to were deficient. The
year had difficulty to deliver anything above average to remember and
collect back on. It’s sad to look back on 2006 and barely be able to
amass ten or so movies that are notable.
To begin, here are the 10 most disappointing movies released in 2006:
1.
The Black Dahlia
2.
The Fountain
3.
X-Men: The Last Stand
