Ebert & Roeper and The Movies: 1-5-01 (Worst of 2000)

Note: Using the quote from Mr. Ebert himself, "We Hated, Hated, Hated These Movies!" Well, I hate, hate, hate to say it, but this special "Worst Of..." episode was very lousy! Some of the picks on this show were actually good movies like "The Grinch", "Road Trip", "Mission: Impossible 2" and even "Little Nicky". But at least the real stinkers like "Battlefield Earth", "What Lies Beneath", "The Next Best Thing" and "Miss Congeniality" are on there and well deserved. There were other ones that should have been there like "Gossip", "The Skulls", "Dungeons & Dragons", "Supernova", "Mission to Mars", "Hangin' Up" come to mind. *sigh*

Roger Ebert & Richard Roeper both each pick their top 6 worst films of 2000!

Roger's List:

1. "What Lies Beneath" (Truly the most disappointing Horror thriller from director, Robert Zemeckis! The twist was a dead giveaway!)
2. "Isn't She Great"
3. "Scream 3" (Seriously, Ebert? That was the last good "Scream" sequel that should have ended! Better than the other ones that follow including the new ones with Jenna Ortega.)
4. "Battlefield Earth" (The real worst film of the year and truly a horrendous mess in John Travolta's film career!)
5. "Ready to Rumble" (I actually had fun with this comedy!)
6. "What Planet Are Your From?". (Very underrated comedy with Garry Shandling!)

Roeper's List:

1. "Gone in 60 Seconds"
2. "The Next Best Thing"
3. "Mission: Impossible 2" (Roeper was full of crap! This was an awesome continuation of the "Mission: Impossible" film franchise!)
4. "The Grinch" (Now, this proves why Roeper has lousy tastes! This doesn't belong on the list nor does he cares! Still, it's the most hilarious Christmas adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book. Better than the trainwreck, "The Cat in the Hat" (2003) film adaptation!)
5. "Road Trip" (I still rather watch this comedy than Tom Green's follow-up, "Freddy Got Fingered".)
6. "Beautiful".

Now, here's my top 10 Worst List of 2000 (and a better list than both of them!) (via "Letterboxd").

1. "Battlefield Earth"
2. "Dungeons & Dragons"
3. "Supernova"
4. "Mission to Mars"
5. "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" (Yep, I recall Roeper loves this one! Such as poorly made cash-in on the original "The Blair Witch Project")
6. "Highlander: Endgame"
7. "Model Behavior" (Timberlake Alert!! His very first movie on the "Disney Channel" and it's drenchfully lame!)
8. "Whipped"
9. "The Ladies Man"
10. "Charlie's Angels" (I'm amazed both Ebert & Roeper didn't put this on the list as they called it "Eye Candy for the Blind". I hated it as well!)
