How about "Glitter", "Crossroads", "Gigli", any movie with Jennifer Lopez, that horrible disaster entitled "Blueberry"?

This is one that has been on my list for a while as possible 'so bad its good' type watching...
It is too early to say.

The original Batman I adore for that factor.  The B & W version!

Is that the one from before even Adam West?  From like the 40s? I'd love to get hold of that one...

I am legend was done very well.  A lot of people have slated it, and while I think it's not fit to polish 28 Days Later's boots, it's nowhere near a worst film ever candidate.

Will Smith is excellent in it, for one thing, that and "Pursuit of Happyness" have convinced me that he ain't a half bad actor after all.

My main complaint is that the zombies/mutants just weren't that scary.  They looked like a bunch of crackheads.

I really enjoyed I am Legend, Will Smith is a great actor and the movie was better than i was expecting. I was a little creeped out by the night seeker dogs i must admit.

I really enjoyed West Wing. It was well done. Good characterisation, reasonable story line etc.

I bought a Chinese flick called Lost in Beijing.  I confess I chose it sheerly on the sexy poster: chick in flower dress with tousled hair. 

It was really good.  They clustered most of the sex in near the beginning, after which the plot caught fire.  Worth the ten kwai.

I have Bumming in Beijing.  Plus Beijing Bicycle (no sex though!). Haven't seen Lost in Beijing yet.

I have Bumming in Beijing. 

Is this a gay porn or about 'bumming around' in the sense of just hanging out drinking beer and stuff?

Can you see me into gay movies?   aoaoaoaoao

Bumming around - also with a bit of homelessness thrown in.

Went to the theatre to see Warlords with Jet Li, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kanishiro (er they were in the movie, not watching it with me)

A big sweeping action-drama. It was so-so as they like to say here and that was on a big screen. Although my rating might change watching it with English. I'm not sure how much I missed.

Jet Li looked his age and was pudgy but you really didn't want to get in his way. He's not only kicks ass in this movie but he's the tough guy.

 The makers of Lost in Beijing have been banned from making films for two years because they submitted an unauthorized version of the movie to the Berlin Film Festival.
