We continue our jaunt through the world of film in 2008 by taking a turn for the worse — toward the bottom of the barrel. For every great movie there are at least ten bad ones released in a given year, and 2008 was no exception. So without further ado, here is our list of the Ten Worst Movies of 2008:

10. Meet Dave

Eddie Murphy should stop making movies. From the trailer stage of things, this movie looked like one of the biggest turds of the summer. And people stayed away in droves. Maybe Hollywood will take the hint next time they want this (cringe!) Oscar nominee to star in something.

9. Disaster Movie

Hands down, this was the most appropriately named film of 2008. And thank God the American audiences had some sense and refused to make this Seltzer/Friedberg flick a hit by any measurement. This was a national wake-up call that these movies just plain suck.

8. First Sunday

Ah, yes. Time to travel back to the doldrums of movie releases known as January and February. Tracy Morgan and Ice Cube teamed up to make this preachy mess of non-comedy. The only thing worth seeing in this movie was the always funny Katt Williams. Too bad the never-funny Tracy Morgan had to be there too.

7. Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins

And where there’s Tracy Morgan polluting movie houses, there’s Cedric the Entertainer trying to do the same. Another early release of 2008 that was so godawful that it will be remembered as one of the worst of the year.

6. Over Her Dead Body

Who told Eva Longoria that she could act? Sure, she’s pretty, but listening to her deliver dialogue is like listening to a Shakespeare table reading with Jennifer Tilly and Joey Lauren Adams. Over Her Dead Body was a ghost story with a psychic twist that made me want to kill myself.

5. The Secret Life of Bees

Here’s some Oscar bait from 2008 that has failed to turn any heads so far in award season. If you don’t remember which film this is, it’s the one where Dakota Fanning isn’t raped.

4. Wendy & Lucy

The utterly un-unique story of a girl and her dog. There’s enough plot in here to fill about six minutes. The rest is padding with a homely version of Michelle Williams walking a lot and moping about her lost dog.

3. In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale

Who can make a “Worst Films of the Year” list without giving a nod to Uwe Boll. The Uwe-meister struck early with this epic tale of miscasting, featuring Burt Reynolds as a king, Ray Liotta as an evil sorcerer and Matthew Lillard offering us his best Renaissance Festival accent.

2. The Love Guru

Remember when Mike Myers was actually funny? Those days are gone, now that The Love Guru ripped through the summer. Spoiler alert… the movie ends with two elephants doing it. If that’s not a metaphor for the film itself, I don’t know what is.

1. Funny Games

Michael Haneke re-directed his original German-language thriller shot-by-shot with bigger Hollywood names, and no one cared. It was torture porn for the art house crowd, featuring two young punks terrorizing and murdering a family on vacation. After interviewing Haneke, I hated the film even more because he insisted he wasn’t trying to include a message. What a douche!

RUNNERS UP

Delgo – This late-in-the-year CGI flop now has the distinction of the worst wide release gross in the history of time. And the filmmakers blamed the economy. I’m sure that’s why no one saw this movie.

Seven Pounds – I was tempted to put Hancock on this list… until Will Smith gave us this excruciatingly angst-filled ego piece featuring a lot of brooding and the most ridiculous plot since It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

DISHONORABLE MENTIONS

And a selection of movies from 2008 that sucked, but just didn’t manage to suck as bad as the preceding twelve: What Just Happened, Pride and Glory, Henry Poole Is Here, Witless Protection, Stop-Loss, W., Nights in Rodanthe, Strange Wilderness, Mad Money and One Missed Call.
