Oh,
the Humanity!
The Worst Movies on Earth This site tends to concentrate on
sci-fi and comics related movies, and features a variety of
topics. The cleanly focussed site loads quickly with notes
on current news on the site, since the navigation sidebar
allows quick entry to site author reviews, discussions, a
message board, events, mail, a quiz, reviews from site users,
ratings, a glossary, and a list of links and resources. The
reviews can be searched by title or by text element; you can
also list all the movies [over 200 are currently in the database]
or browse for a random movies. Links in a review will connect
you to a source from which you can buy/rent titles or to the
Internet Movie Database for more information. Some movies
have RealVideo clips, and new movies [plus those which have
received an overall high {low?) rating] are marked with icons.
Each review, in addition to an informative summary, rates
the badness, parody value, sexual content, and overall value
of the film, as well as informing you if there is a "naked
girl dancing during the credits". The general tone of the
reviews is brisk and light, so overall, this site is highly
amusing.
Golden
Raspberry Award Foundation - Home of the Razzies! "Since
1980" this organization has been awarding its 'accolade' to
the worst movies and the worst examples of actors and actresses
attempting to fathom their craft. Since the site is currently
under reconstruction, few remarks are worth making about its
prsentation, though it is easy to read the current incarnation.
Since it also takes on such projects as nominating the worst
actor of the [20th] century, this site is both general in
outlook and offers a considerable retrospective. Compared
to many of the other sites I have seen, this lacks a number
of features, and some of it would not load when I last visited,
but again, it is under redesign. Even if its o-so-arch stance
is less amusing than it thinks, this is still the site to
visit for all-all time Hollywood bombs.
