Since when has Blended been a horrible movie, just because its PG with a bit of \’\’crude\’\’ humour? Anyway in article you said: "Adam Sandler’s “Blended” hung on stronger than you’d imagine to remain within the top 4 and only falling a low 41% from its previous bomb of an opening weekend."
Please explain why it received no.1 on WORST?

I am watching Grand Budapest Hotel right now and am fighting to stay awake! And hopes of so much more.

Lucy isn\’t that much of an oddball choice. It\’s certainly an oddball *film*, but it\’s so steeped in auteur eccentricities that a lot of critics are bound to dig it. I\’m not a fan of Birdman, but beyond that, this is a pretty great, intelligent list. The worst list is spot on. Men, Women, and Children is a horrific mess, and demonstrates what happens when mediocre directors with little to say get inflated egos and are surrounded by yes men.

I\’m guessing that Joyll hasn\’t actually seen The Theory of Everything, The Imitation Game, or Unbroken, but has instead heard that they were Oscar contenders. In reality, all three play like Lifetime Original Movies. They\’re mediocre at best, and you won\’t find them on many critics\’ lists, though I\’m sure that the Academy will indeed eat them up. Citizenfour and The Lego Movie are indeed much, much better films.

Whiplash is mostly entertaining, but suffers from a silly, implausible, and cliched finale.

No Whiplash? Best movie I saw this year, hands down.

\’Blended\’ Top 10 Worst? Not even close. It\’s harmless fun with some nice, surprisingly touching moments. And if you judge it against the balance of Sandler\’s oeuvre, it positively glows.

I want to throw shoes at this list. Really I do. Men, Women & Children does NOT belong on anybody\’s worst list & how the does CitizenFour & The Lego Movie (mind you I enjoyed the Lego Movie) beat out Theory of Everything or The Imitation Game or Unbroken?!?! Seriously I can\’t even….
