About the article on The wolf of wall street : please tell the d..bag writer to get geography class. It is Colombia no Columbia, unless this US state also was the main cocaine producer in the world in the 80's

Jennifer's Body gets a bad rap. Hitchcock was fun. Bachelorette had it's moments … I certainly wouldn't put any of them on a "poor to terrible" list.

I'm curious how overhauled some of these get from the blacklist to the screen, if at all.

I thought the Nic Cage classic 'Season of the Witch' was on the black list.

Oh, I quite liked 'The Way Way Back'. Was totally charmed by it.

The second I saw Seven Pounds come up I found myself involuntarily backing away from the screen and growling at it (seriously). That thing is an abomination which should have stayed in the writer's therapy class. Also the 47 Ronin script that was on the Black List was completely different to the final product (it had ninja clans fighting ogre blacksmiths inside a volcano) and was actually pretty good, it's just the studio had it rewritten to make way for whitey.

You guys are crazy for lumping The Book of Eli into the poor-to-terrible list. That movie was a blast. It was wildly inventive, violent as hell, had a really impressive cast and two (TWO!) fun twists. This movie was so much fun, and it really shows on screen. It was really evident that the filmmakers were completely capable of capturing that sense of fun on screen.

I also object to Dan in Real Life and Changeling being in that worst list. The former was a really absorbing drama you felt invested in and Changeling was such an unbelievably disturbing story that it stuck with you long after it was done.

So, when David Gordon Green is making trash like "The Sitter," the Playlist likes the movie (gave it a B-) and takes every chance it gets to take shots at the people who are bummed that he isn't making interesting movies anymore. Now that he's back to making interesting movies, they say that "The Sitter" is terrible. Funny.

"The Snorks" is the live-action/animated film based on the animated television series. The film stars Steve Carell and Rashida Jones with the voices of Mark Ruffalo, Kesha, Anthony Head, Kate Upton, Charles Adler, Tom Kenny, Kel Mitchell, Ty Burrell, and Eddie Izzard. It is being produced by Illumination Entertainment for Universal Pictures. Thank you, Steven Felson.

I really don't understand everyone's hate for Lions for Lambs. That movie is fantastic; it's not "preachy" at all and much deeper than the ridiculous oversimplification of "war is bad" (which the movie is not even saying).

I was under the impression that Cowboys vs Aliens was also on the black list. That was horrible.

Of the ones on your Poor to Terrible List I actually saw, I simply can\’t agree with \’Invictus\’ (Excellent film in every respect), \’Nowhere Boy\’ (Great period biopic of a fascinating individual), and \’Safehouse\’ (Not a great film, by any means, but a good action film with an A-list cast; probably one of the better things Ryan Reynolds has done.)
