Real Vampires Don't Sparkle

8 Movies The World Didn't Need From 2008

I have complied a list of eight movies made in 2008 that, had they not been made, might have made the world a better place. I am proud to say I haven't seen a single one of these movies (in its entirely at least) and my opinion comes from previews, clips, film ratings and a general sense of superiority and common sense (just try to argue for Beverly Hills Chihuahua, I dare you).

1. 10 000 BC - With a 4.9 rating* out of ten, this trainwreck can boast crummy CGI and virtually no plot. This is an obvious throwback to Apocolypto minus the acting, plot and suspense.

2. Beverly Hills Chihuahua - A whopping 2.4 rating, I don't feel I need to even try to justify whats wrong with this movie. I want to know when this ever seemed like a good idea, and the fact that it stars Piper Perabo, whom I just loved in Lost and Delirious, makes my heart break just a little bit more.

3. The House Bunny - Sadly this movie may be one of the best from this list as it at least recognizes its stupidity and doesn't seem to try to fight it. With a 5.6 rating there are worse movies out there you could see, but honestly the Elle Woods Legally Blonde motif has been overdone, can we move on please?

4. Prom Night - From the first time I saw the preview I knew nothing good can come from this, and big shock 3.7 rating. Maybe this is the cynical, modern horror movie hater in me, but this is just crap, don't waste your time, your money or your sanity.

5. The Ruins - For a modern horror this movie could do a heck of alot worse, pulling in a solid 6 rating this movie has been deemed 'decent' by most. However I still can't get over the lame plot and thus it earns a coveted position here.

6. Step Up 2: The Streets - I am so sick and tired of these dance movies, and there is no way this deserves even the 5.4 rating it has. You know what, Save The Last Dance was alright, but the replica's that it has spawned is sinful, I hope this trend will finally die out soon.

7. Twilight - I don't care what you say, nothing will convince me that this bares any resemblance to a decent film. Forget the overly generous 6 rating and scores of fans and crappy merchandise, this movie, nothing is saving this disaster. I can't wait for this trend to die as well, but with 3 more movies I feel like I will have a lot more ranting ahead of me, so we'll leave it there for now. Also, real vampires DON'T SPARKLE

8. Anaconda 3: The Offspring - I just has to add this one here, it has a 2.7 rating and I'll share with you the plot and let it speak for itself. "A mercenary-for-hire accepts a mission from a billionaire to capture a dangerous snake that could possibly help cure a terminal illness." (From IMDB) Enough Said.
