1. Mamma Mia! (July)
A load of middle-aged actors babysitting a couple of annoying sprogs who cannot sing or dance try their best anyway in a musical that incoherently shoehorns all the best selling ABBA songs into one lengthy inconsistent plot. Well at least it provided all the brainless masses of the world a Tesco induced DVD bargain of £7 which further enabled them to whither away their remaining brain cells as they watch it infinitely for the rest of their miserable lives. People seem to have forgotten that Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd was by far the best musical of the year.

2. Sex and the City: The Movie (May)
Four independent women living the city life prove that you can have fun after reaching the big five-o. That is of course if you douse yourself in buckets of make-up, have a bitchy attitude to life, spend all your money on the latest fashion accessories and generally whore around.
3. RocknRolla (September)
Guy Ritchie back on form???? Piss owf govna! This was nothing other than rehashed material under the guise of a contemporary The Long Good Friday. Personally dreading the sequel, The Real RocknRolla, I can guarantee the script will be as unimaginative as the title.
4. Tropic Thunder (September)
Too much money spent on explosive set-pieces and A-list stars meant the actual comedy was left behind somewhere along with the controversy that failed to surface despite it being at the forefront of its pricey marketing campaign.
5. Ghost Town (October)
I have no idea what the majority of critics were praising. Gervais well and truly took his finger off the pulse of innovative, racy comedy when he decided to star in this unoriginal, over-sentimental rubbish. Still, given that he is rumoured to someday host the Academy Awards means it didn't harm his overseas status though.
6. Quantum of Solace (October)
The eagerly awaited sequel to the rejuvenated Bond franchise was ruined in a swift 106 minutes. Marc Foster may be able to stage impressive action set pieces for the Bourne franchise but he cannot hold together a film, especially whilst enduring a CGI overload thus taking the focus away from Craig's Bond.
7. Rambo (February)
Truly the most morally bankrupt and exploitative film ever made. As 62 year-old Sly pumped himself full of his last batch of steroids he well and truly put an end to his career as well as his clean bill of health.
8. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (August)
Look up 'Gluttony' and 'Greed' in the dictionary and you will find a picture of the beardy mess that is George Lucas, determined not to let his cash cow die.
9. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (May)
Trey Parker and Matt Stone provided the best critique to this film in their South Park portrayal of Indiana Jones as being 'raped'. The sooner this fourth instalment is brushed under the carpet the better.
10. Righteous Kill (September)
If the senile Bob and Al were not in the main role, this boring tiresome trash would have never been granted worldwide release and would have deservedly been released as a straight-to-DVD B-movie.
Similarly avoid at all costs: 88 Minutes, What Happens in Vegas, Never Back Down, The Happening, Doomsday, The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
