Worst movies of 2008?

Here’s the New York Post’s worst 10:

1. The Love Guru
2. The Hottie and the Nottie
3. Mad Money
4. What Happens In Vegas
5. 110,000 B.C.
6. Babylon A.D.
7. You Don’t Mess With The Zohan
8. Rambo
9. Witless Protection
10. Beverly Hills Chihuahua

Of course, this is the New York Post we’re talking about, so…

Christian Toto of the Washington Times hated these five movies:

1. “88 Minutes” — If you’re not thinking, “what were they thinking?” during every scene of this misbegotten crime thriller, then your brain may not be connected to the rest of your body. Pacino’s hair deserves special mention for defying both age and gravity.
2. “Jumper” — Are movie scripts still landing on Hayden Christensen’s desk? Really? After this unholy mess? As Don King might say, “only in America!”
3. “The Happening” — Let’s call it, folks. Time of M. Night Shyamalan’s career death — June 13, 2008.
4. “Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?” — Morally and creatively bankrupt follow-up from “Super Size Me’s” one trick pony, Morgan Spurlock.
5. “10,000 B.C.” — Who knew prehistoric man had such great dental plans? Just one of a hundred reasons why this silly actioner stunk up theaters.

It’s year-end lists like these that remind me why I’m glad I’m not a film critic and must see every movie.

How about you? What movies did you see in 2008 that made your head hurt?

UPDATE: Mr. Toto, who penned the second list for The Washington Times, noted in comments that I missed his first name “by that much.” I changed it to the proper moniker: Christian Toto.
