Title: Worst Films Ever Author: Lance Logan Article ID: 45029 Glimpse of the article: Worst Films Ever: (In My Opinion) 1. Battlefield Earth: In the year 3000, there are no countries, no cities... earth is a wasteland and a man is no match for the psychlos, a manipulative race of aliens on a quest for globel domination HTML Version <h1>Worst Films Ever</h1>By Lance Logan<br /><br />Worst Films Ever: (In My Opinion) <br /> <br />1. Battlefield Earth: <br /> <br />In the year 3000, there are no countries, no cities... earth is a wasteland and a man is no match for the psychlos, a manipulative race of aliens on a quest for globel domination. Led by the seductive and powerful terl (john travolta pulp fiction) The psychlos have taken all natural resources for themselves and left mankind to rot. <br /> <br />2. A.I. Artificial Intelligence: <br /> <br />Based on Brian Aldiss' short story 'Super-Toys Last All Summer Long' (by way of Pinocchio), A.I. Artificial Intelligence was a long cherished project for Stanley Kubrick. Following Kubrick's death, the film was inherited by Steven Spielberg and the result is one of the most unusual and ambitious sci-fi epics of recent years. The film follows the adventures of android boy David (Hayley Joel Osment) in a future of enforced single child families and global warming. Programmed with "a love that will never die" by visionary scientist Professor Hobby (William Hurt), he is selected to fill the childless void in the home of Monica Swinton (Frances O'Connor), and finally abandoned by her when her own son recovers from a life threatening illness. Setting out on a quest to become a real boy worthy of his mommy's love, along the way he escapes a grotesque, televised "flesh fair" where robots are systematically destroyed in front of a raucous crowd. He then hooks up with Jude Law's ace robot lover Gigolo Joe who escorts David to Rouge City, and eventually to an eerily waterlogged New York where the skyscrapers rear up like monoliths from the sea and David confronts his fate. Part futuristic fairy tale, part sci-fi parable, A.I. Artificial Intelligence represents a fascinating meeting of minds between the creators of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. <br /> <br />3. Pearl Harbor: <br /> <br />Set during the time of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, two friends (Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett) are caught up in the events that draw the United States into World War II. One of them enlists with the U.S. Army Air Corps and the other flies for the British Royal Air Force, but they both find themselves in love with the same woman (Kate Beckinsale). <br /> <br />4. Vanilla Sky: <br /> <br />Tom Cruise delivers one of his finest performances in this unforgettable powerful film that reunites him with came on crowe,the director of Jerry Maguire.Young, handsome and wealthy, publishing tycoon david Aames (Cruise) can have anything his heart desires.Still,David's charmed life seems in incomplete.One night,Davif meets the woman of his dreams (Penelope Cruz) and believes he may have found the missing piece.But a fateful encounter with a jealous lover (Cameron Diaz) suddenly sends david's world out of control,rocketing him on a roller-coaster ride of romance,sex,suspicion and dreams...to a shocking, final awakening you will never forget. <br /> <br />5. The Avengers: <br /> <br />The hip secret-agent series from '60s TV, is reinvented for the movies with a stylish blend of wit, fabulous retro fashions and effects packed action. Ralph fiennes is he very dapper John Steed and Uma Thurman is the smartly catsuited Emma Peel, two secret agents who fight crime with style. Sean Connery portrays Sir August De Wynter, an evil genius out of control the world with his high-tech weather machine. This madman poses quite a threat to mankind with his raging ice storms, scorching temperatures and mechanical buzz-bombing bees. But come cold, heat or dreaded plight, our two heroes never lose their cool, Tea anyone?. <br /> <br />6. Barb Wire: <br /> <br />The film is Based on the Dark Horse comic book, "Barb Wire" takes place in the town of Steel Harbor during the year 2017, after the second Civil War. Steel Harbor is one of the few cities still free from the grip of either government troops or rebel fighters. It is also home to blonde bombshell Barb Wire, a leather-clad, pistol packin', cycle-ridin' bounty hunter, who ALWAYS gets her man. But dont call her babe. <br /> <br />7. Highlander II - The Quickening: <br /> <br />Years after battling the Kurgan in Scotland and New York, Connor MacLeod and his mentor, Juan Villa-Lobos Ramirez, are back tracking time warps and having further adventures in this action sequel. <br /> <br />8. The Blair Witch Project: <br /> <br />In October of 1994 three students filmmakers disappeared in the woods near, Burkittsville,Maryland while shooting a documentary. A year later their film was found. Just keep telling yourself its only a movie. <br /> <br />9. Eyes Wide Shut: <br /> <br />Stanley Kubrick's daring last film is many things.Its compelling psychosexual journey.A haunting dreamscape.A riveting tale of suspense.A major milestone in the careers of stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.And "A worthy final chapter to a great director's career". Cruise plays Dr. William Harford,a New Yorker who plunges into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage-and may even ensnare him in a lurid murder mystery-after his wife's {Kidman} admission of sexual longings.As the story sweeps from doubt and fear to self-discovery and recognition, Kubrick orchestrates it with masterful flourishes.Graceful tracking shots, controlled pacing,rich colours,startling images:bravura traits that make Kubrick a filmmaker for the ages are here to keep everyone's eyes wide open. <br /> <br />10. Howard the Duck: <br /> <br />Howard, a wise-cracking duck from outer space, is brought to earth by a science experiment gone wrong.
