Bottom 13 of 2017

Don't waste your time or money with these "films".

13. “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter” (USA) – This “franchise” should have stopped at two films. The apocalyptic theme is too outdated and boring to muster up any traction.

12. “All Eyez on Me” (USA) – Although Demetrius Shipp Jr. acts well, the film only looks at the surface of Tupac, fails to delve deeper into his story, fails to ask any heavy questions and stumbles to seek any narrative continuity.

11. “Pitch Perfect 3” (USA) – It sends the series out on flat notes from the acting, story, cinematography, songs, singing, message and continuity. It is a cash grab and the studio made no effort in at least making it tolerable.

10. “Beauty and Beast” (USA) – Though it is visually stunning, the uninspiring performance by Emma Watson, combined with the cringe-worthy overuse of Auto-tune, make the film plunge. It proves, again, how Auto-tune doesn’t belong in musicals.

9. “Valerian: The City of a Thousand Planets” (France) – Though visually stunning and amazing, the lackluster story and romance leaves you with a feeling of, “so what?”

8. “Kidnap” (USA) – Halle Berry wants to be a citizen to deliver vigilante justice so bad, but just like, “The Call,” she falls extremely short of the mark.

7. “Fist Fight” (USA) – Ice Cube and Charlie Day try to be funny in this misfire, but their star-making power cannot help a faulty premise and lackluster screenplay.

6. “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul” (USA) – It’s a shame Alicia Silverstone had make a phone-in performance in order to pay the bills in this pointless and unfunny reboot.

5. “Snatched” (USA) – The combo of Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer could’ve been hilarious, but all the jokes are dispirited and the scenes fall flat.

4. “Baywatch” (USA) – It’s ironic that the actors and actresses involved in this "film" work to promote progression in society, yet, their performances elicit the opposite thoughts.

3. “The House” (USA) – Will Farrell, Amy Poehler and Jason Mantzoukas are far better to be in this drivel.

2. “The Layover” (USA) – It’s just insulting to women, humanity and William H. Macy’s directing potential.

1. “Transformers: The Last Knight” (USA) – Be warned: you will need a barf bag for many reasons in this “film.”
