1) Resident Evil (March 15)
I'll give this one a 9, but I expect the game to be a lot better. I just want to see the damn cheesy assed movie.
2) Blade 2 (March 22)
This one is a 10, the first Blade was awesome,
3) Star Wars: Attack of the Clones *shudder at the name* (May 16)
3, I could care less about Starwars, I heard this one was more of a Romance movie than an action movie. I don't care what anyone says, the last movie was alright and the first three blew.
4) Spiderman (summer)
9, Spiderman rules.
5) Matrix Reloaded (2003)
7, I didn't really like the Matrix, it was kind of boring.
6) Terminator 3 (2003)
10 TEN TEN!!!! Goddamn have I ever waited a long time for this one.
7) Incredible Hulk (2003)
2, who gives a crap
8) Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (December)
10 on this one too, the second part to the best f***ing movie ever made in the history of mankind!
9) True Lies 2 (2002)
6, I wanna see it, but I am not waiting.
10) Indiana Jones 4 (2003?)

11) Fletch (by Kevin Smith, 2002?)
1
12) Time Machine (March)
1
13) Sherlock Holmes and the Vengence of Dracula (2002?)

10. I'm not a total dork like all of you, but I liked the first.
9) True Lies 2 (2002)
1. Sequel to a crappy film!?! Where's the line up?
10) Indiana Jones 4 (2003?)
3. What's the title? Indiana Jones and the search for the holy hemorrhoid cushion?
11) Fletch (by Kevin Smith, 2002?)

12) Time Machine (March)

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>There are plenty of movies worse though, Every single Friday the 13th movie ever made, Nightmare on Elm Street, Sleepaway camp, Hallowe'en, and about all other Horror movies ever made after 1980 with a few exceptions. Most or all Western movies, just about every teeny bopper movie, chick flicks, most 80's action flicks, all the Jaws movies (though part 1 is about on the same level), The Terminator, Cyborg, and generally 80% of all movies made before 1980.

Still, as far as plots go, Escape from LA has one of the dumbest, a guy called Snake is injected with a Virus that will kill him in a certain amount of time, he will be given a cure by the President of the new facist regime USA for assassinating his own daughter who is now in the hands of an international terrorrist who plans to use a device to destroy all electrical power in the USA and allow Cuba and Mexico to invade and conquer the states. In order to do this he must enter LA which is a wasteland on an Island after being destroyed by an Earthquake, it is now like a prison nation with no government, just anarchy, gangs run everything, yet somehow people are still healthy and well fed. You know what happens from here on.</div>
