The Master of Disguise (2002)
Jan 7, 2025Disguise Expert Comedy
Hardly anyone remembers Dana Carvey, Mike Myers’ co-star in Wayne’s World. This was Carvey’s attempt to copy the Austin Powers films and is regarded as a bad movie
xXx (2002)
Oct 19, 2002Extreme Adventure Sports Spy
One of the most brainless action films ever made. This has the laughable notion of trying to make a James Bond film but recasting it with Vin Diesel as an extreme sports junkie. Everything about the film is absurd.
The Missing (2003)
Mar 10, 2003Western/American Indian Sorcerer
Ron Howard makes a Western that has some horror overtones featuring an evil Indian sorcerer. In the hands of a classic director like John Ford this could have been an epic work but Howard’s plodding predictability kills interest
Peter Pan (2003)
Dec 30, 2003Children's Adventures in a Magic Land
Live-action remake of the classic story this has some lovely moments but also feels over-produced and adds unnecessary adult psychological motivations to the mix
Darkness Falls (2003)
Jul 2, 2005Vengeful Tooth Fairy
Formulaic horror film about an avenging supernatural hag known as the Tooth Fairy. Much of the premise is borrowed from A Nightmare on Elm Street
The Forgotten (2004)
Nov 8, 2004Erased Memories
Julianne Moore discovers her late son has been erased from photos and people's memories eventually leading her to an explanation involving mysterious aliens
The Fog (2005)
May 5, 2007Vengeful Ghosts
One of the worst among the 2000s fad for remakes of 70s/80s horror films. John Carpenter’s 1980 original has been transformed into a teen horror film where the spookiness collapses into frequently ridiculous shock effects
Hellboy Animated: Sword of Storms (2006)
Feb 11, 2010Demon Superhero/Animation
The first of two animated Hellboy spinoffs with the live-action actors returning to voice their parts. This is the better of the two animated films, developing a weirdness as it takes Hellboy inside a Japanese spirit realm
Click (2006)
Jun 21, 2006Remote Control to Life Comedy
An Adam Sandler comedy in which he is an ordinary family man who is given a magical remote control that allows him to pause and fast forward his way through the boring bits of his life
The Water Horse (2007)
Jan 19, 2008Loch Ness Monster
Earnestly made family film from Walden Media in which a young boy finds an egg that grows into the Loch Ness Monster
Next (2007)
Sep 9, 2007Precognition/Action Film
This adapts a Philip K. Dick story and then throws it out to make a generic action film with Nicolas Cage as a psychic. All the potential of its idea is lost amid a series of ridiculous plot twists
Hellboy Animated: Blood and Iron (2007)
Aug 13, 2009Demon Superhero/Animation
The second of two animated Hellboy spinoffs, this renders what might have been impressive superheroics had they been conducted in live-action down at the level of children’s animation
xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)
Apr 2, 2017Extreme Adventure Sports Spy
xXx, with Vin Diesel as an extreme sports junkie version of James Bond, was ridiculous. This second sequel surprisingly turns out halfway watchable, keeping the stunts moving fast and introducing an ensemble to build this out as a Fast and the Furious-type franchise
