Last post by claws - Today at 12:39:25 AMDid I see this right? You guys ditch Howling 2 in favor of Howling 7?
Any ultimate bad movie list without Howling 2 is like a pizza without cheese—technically possible, spiritually wrong.
R.I.P. Howling 2

Last post by M.10rda - January 04, 2026, 10:19:35 PMBALLERINA (2025):
This grossed only $135,000,000 and therefore was deemed a flop based on its $90,000,000 budget, to which I can only say: Repent, Hollywood Babylon, before your bubble bursts altogether and you are washed from the Earth. Movies cost too much damn money to make and especially too much to advertise.
If you like Keanu Reeves as John Wick and you like incredible action sequences, there's no reason you wouldn't enjoy BALLERINA, which has the former for about a minute early on and then for a good 30 minutes at the end (it seems to take place between the first two Chapters of JOHN WICK or maybe between the raindrops of Chapter 3) and has the latter in uh-BUN-dance. Ana De Armas is supremely cool and capable as the ass-kicking lead. I am sure someone somewhere on the large internet has complained about her being a "Mary Sue" or something stupid like that, but if Shakespeare (and the mainline WICKs) taught us nothing, it's that great action heroes don't "stir without great argument, but greatly [...] find quarrel in a straw when honour's at the stake." Reeves himself reminds himself early on in BALLERINA that he found quarrel in a dead puppy, and De Armas has a much bigger axe to grind... and does she ever grind it!
Okay, research informs me that the cost of this one ballooned when the producers had to bring in the director of all the JOHN WICKs in to reshoot "the Prague sequence" of this film, because director-of-record Len Wiseman apparently blew it. (Anne Parrilaud, the original LA FEMME NIKITA, is in the credits as "Prague Concierge" but I couldn't spot her anywhere in the movie, so I guess all her scenes were scrubbed.) Now, the Prague sequence in BALLERINA is about 20-25 minutes long and in the first half of the movie, and it does include a pretty fabulous battle in a weapons store (including some insane grenade gags). Moreover, Len Wiseman directed the original UNDERWORLD, so I have every reason to believe he might be a complete imbecile. And yet, if Chad Stawhatevs primarily reshot the Prague sequence, and therefore Wiseman directed any if not all of the second half of BALLERINA - an hour of mayhem where De Armas (eventually assisted by Reeves) fights an entire village in the Swiss Alps - then I might have to eat my words because Wiseman may actually be a certified genius....... 'cause that entire second half is at least on par with the already famous park steps sequence at the end of JOHN WICK 4.
4/5 A total riot.

Twenty years after being stood up at the altar, a mousy librarian (Carrie Snodgrass) begins to lose her grip on reality as she deals with the loss of her job and caring for her abusive, wheelchair bound, wealthy rat bastard father (a positively despicable Ray Milland).
I seem to remember the trailers for this movie promising something more supernatural in nature, but this is a pretty cool, creepy psycho-melodrama with some horror overtones. The fantastic performance by Snodgrass as her character's mental state slowly unravels is worth the price of admission all by itself. An overlooked gem.
