There's too many to choose from. Honestly, it was a tough choice.
2012, our last year, we should go out with a bang, rather than a flop.

I'm gonna say the Vow, just because of all the hype and how bad it looks (haven't seen it, so... can't really say). That being said I actually heard that John Carter was really good from some pretty reliable people, but I haven't seen that one either.

In all fairness 1'000 words was produced by Nicolas Cage. So what could you really expect.

Eddie Murphy movie is not the worst. . The manner in which it is portray is only because he dissed the Academy Awards as their host. Trust me; you do not know politics until you have studied the politics of Hollywood. Here is where injustice really lies. After watching Game Change, the comparison was frightening. Sarah Palin almost fooled the people into to believing she was Vice-President Material. There was actually a conspiracy to install her as a vice-president. Think back to the last actor we had as President; yes, Ronald Reagan. Hollywood did not give him an Academy Award for acting, but he certainly deserved one for his piss-poor performance as President of the U.S.
