Worst excuse for Science Fiction: The Thirteenth Floor - this is what happens when regular people try to sci-fi. Leave it to the experts OK!

Worst Overrated Independent Film: The Blair Witch Project - hype, hype, hype.

Stupidest film couple: Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones for Entrapment - Isn’t Connery about 95 years old? Why are all these geezers getting young babes.
Stupidest future film couple: Jake Lloyd and Natalie Portman for Star Wars Episode I: the Phantom Menace - The princess is supposed to marry the street-urchin brat and drop a litter for him? The suspension of disbelief in order to watch a movie only goes so far.
Stupidest adaptation of an old television series: The Mod Squad - They are truly running on empty now. What’s next? Three’s Company the Movie?
