sometimes a movie is so highly praised by the critics that it drives us to the nearest theater as if in a trance, but after sitting there and watching it we realize that even critics are mere humans with tendency to love rubbish and discard gems.

- DirectorDavid Gordon GreenStarsSeth RogenJames FrancoGary ColeA process server and his marijuana dealer wind up on the run from hitmen and a corrupt police officer after he witnesses his dealer's boss murder a competitor while trying to serve papers on him.painstakingly boring with a ludicrous plot..were the script writers smoking a pot while writing the jokes? i watched it with great expectations from comic kings like seth rogen and danny mcbride but was let down by this affair.
- DirectorJody HillStarsSeth RogenAnna FarisRay LiottaBi-polar mall security guard Ronnie Barnhardt is called into action to stop a flasher from turning shopper's paradise into his personal peep show. But when Barnhardt can't bring the culprit to justice, a surly police detective is recruited to close the case.oh god!! what was the point of making this movie? its utter rubbish. paul blart the mall cop was way better than this mall cop film. it seems seth rogen is a one trick pony and all he can do is swear on screen and hope to make us laugh. also there were a few racist undertones in a couple of scenes. have mercy on yourself. do not watch it.
- DirectorNicholas StollerStarsJonah HillRussell BrandElisabeth MossA record company intern is hired to accompany out-of-control British rock star Aldous Snow to a concert at L.A.'s Greek Theater.if jason segel had known that the follow up to his 'forgetting sarah marshall' would have been such, my guess is he would have never made it in first place. if you have its dvd please bury it lest someone else takes it from you and suffers.
- DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsJeff BridgesJohn GoodmanJulianne MooreJeff "The Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.wikipedia calls it a cult favourite but seriously this was a classic blunder. how can you make such a movie with such a cast. jeff bridges is the only saving grace in this scriptless movie. the concept was good but was botched up by poor story progression. p.s.- john goodmans character was the biggest pain in the a** and why on hell did steve buscemi sign up for this.
- DirectorSam MendesStarsTom HanksTyler HoechlinPaul NewmanA mob enforcer's son in 1930s Illinois witnesses a murder, forcing him and his father to take to the road, and his father down a path of redemption and revenge.the only thing good about this is cinematography, background score and the actors mainly tom hanks, paul newman, the hoechlin kid and daniel 'bond' craig. the only bad thing is the story which creeps and crawls giving the impression that it will pick up but never does. its a classic example of 'it has tom hanks so lets rate it highly'. i am not saying story is bad just that its too slow.
