The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007,  R)
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Good acting and nicely filmed but hard to get into and rather boring.
2
Hitman (2007,  R)
Hitman
This movie feature some great shoot-outs but thats about it,overall it bored me. Even the gorgeous Timothy Olyphant could not save it. Its a thumbs down from me,i will stick to the game.

My favorite bit was when we saw the two gamers playing Hitman in the hotel room,it was a brief but enjoyable moment.
3
Enigma (2001,  R)
Enigma
I love Kate Winslet and her acting was flawless in this movie but it was bloody boring.
4
Pride and Glory (2008,  R)
Pride and Glory
This movie is well made and the acting is really good but its not the kind of movie i am interested in and i only watched it because my husband was watching it. One scene kept me interested for a few minutes but the rest of the movie bored me.
5
The Locket (2002,  Unrated)
The Locket
The story and plot is boring,i think the movie goes in too many different directions and it would of been better if they had just stuck to the one simple storyline of the guy befriending the old lady. I tried to warm to the characters but they were so wooden that it didnt happen.
6
Second Sight (2007,  Unrated)
Second Sight
I think i am being very kind by giving this movie 2 stars. It was very slow,you could halve the movie and it would still make sense because most of the scenes were pointless. The story would be a good one for a show like Medium but for a movie it just did not work. Also the acting from Lexa Doig was unbearable,her facial expressions were comical and she was forever doing weird things with her eyes. Also Lexa was playing a character who was suppose to be in their mid 20s when in real life she was in her mid 30s and it showed but in the movie there is reference to how young she looks,yeah right!
7
Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007,  G)
Cinderella III: A Twist in Time
I love Cinderella but this movie was predictable,rushed and boring. The characters were bland and Cinderella seemed like a right smug bitch. The songs were also a big let down,they sounded like songs i would make up whilst cleaning "wash the dish,dry the dish,put the dish away la laa laaaa",well at least i wont be humming them in my head for days.
8
The Hide (2008,  Unrated)
The Hide
The Hide is about two men in a birdwatchers hide,one an avid birdwatcher and the other a stranger covered in blood. The story is boring and the end was very predicatable and obvious from the start of the movie. There was little tension,everything that happened was expected. I am surprised that many viewers on IMDB were shocked by the ending and the twist(what twist? surely they saw it coming). One thing i have learnt from watching this movie is that if i had the choice of being trapped in a small wooden shed with either Michael Myers or a birdwatcher i would opt for Michael,at least my death would be quick rather than dying of boredom listening to some idiot ramble on about the different noises that birds make.

Mirrors (2008,  R)
Mirrors
Recommended by TheQueenOfAwesomeness,MovieBuff27 and DrLappos.

This movie was so slow that i struggled to keep my eyes open.....torture. This movie was way too long,dull,not scary and it lacked logic. The first half is boring and the second half is stupid,it was still watchable though.
10
Robert Ludlum's Covert One - The Hades Factor (2006,  Unrated)
11
Nightmare at the End of the Hall (2008,  Unrated)
Nightmare at the End of the Hall
Sara Rue plays a character called Courtney who attends a prestigious boarding school where her best friend Laurel hangs herself in the room at the end of the hall. 17 years later Courtney,who is now a famous writer,returns to the school after accepting a teaching position. Soon strange things start to happen and Courtney begins to see her dead friend.

Predictable and boring. Watchable but only if there is nothing else to watch
12
A Man Apart (2003,  R)
A Man Apart
I pretty much decided this film was boring within the first five minutes of watching it so perhaps it never stood a chance with me. By the time i was twenty minutes into it i was confused and didnt have a clue at what was going on or who was who,i simply didnt care.
13
Little Red Flowers (Kan shang qu hen mei) (2006,  Unrated)
Little Red Flowers (Kan shang qu hen mei)
Crying and shitting kids,thrilling (excuse my sarcasm).
14
Quantum of Solace (2008,  PG-13)
Quantum of Solace
Recommended by DrLappos.

I am not a fan of James Bond movies but i did manage to stay awake for most of this one so i score it 2 points which puts it on my Snoozefest list. This is a good score from me because Bond movies normally get 0.5 stars. However if this movie had a storyline i completely missed it or it went over my head.
15
The Story of the Weeping Camel (2004,  PG)
The Story of the Weeping Camel
Nice story but it dragged on way too long,would of made a good short film.
16
Bug (2006,  R)
Bug
I was told Bug was a horror/thriller but i found it to be more of a psychological drama. The movie doesnt really go anywhere,its quite boring and would of made a much better short film but instead it goes on and on without getting better. Excuse the pun but the characters bugged me. My mind kept wandering and by the end i was left wondering if i could recreate the tin foil and light room,it looked groovy and space-like (in the end i decided i did not have enough tin foil).
17
Transsiberian (2008,  R)
Transsiberian
No thrills. No surprises. No terror. The story is slow and boring with dull characters,thats about all really.

Recommended by scottydgibbs but i had already seen it.
18
The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008,  PG)
The Spiderwick Chronicles
I love fantasy movies but The Spiderwick Chronicles was a miss for me. Mostly i found it boring but a few others things ruined it for me too. I didnt like the actor Freddie Highmore,who played the twins,his acting skills are terrible and i get annoyed just by looking at him. Also the plot was nothing special but i think the most terrible thing about the movie was the small creature who resembled a short fat ugly old penis,Thimbletack,i detested him.

Recommended by Deano78.
19
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008,  R)
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is forgettable and boring with dull Easter egg (hollow) unlikeable characters (with one exception) and a weak storyline. However i did enjoy the final Dracula puppet scene and Mula Kunis (the exception) was very cute and likeable.
20
Gedo senki (Tales from Earthsea) (2006,  Unrated)
Gedo senki (Tales from Earthsea)
Nice to look at but thats about all,the story sucked.
21
Atlantis - The Lost Empire (2001,  PG)
22
10,000 B.C. (2008,  PG-13)
10,000 B.C.
Recommended by Deano78.

10,000 B.C. looks and has the potential to be great but it was just boring. I felt like it failed to hit the spot,the story was average and nothing particularly interesting happened. There was no chemistry between the D'Leh and Evolet and every character was dull,no one seemed to have a personality. Overall i think i am being very kind giving this movie 2.5 stars.
23
The Flower of Evil (2003,  R)
The Flower of Evil
Another movie with a promising title but Flower Of Evil was like a flower that forgot to bloom.

Really boring and slow,full of promise but never delivers. Reminded me of a Miss Marple episode.
24
Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within (2001,  PG-13)
Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within
This movie was visually stunning,beautiful to watch but thats about all,take this fact away and you are left with a really boring movie.
25
Lawless Heart (2002,  R)
Lawless Heart
Good acting,great cast BUT it was like This Years Love but boring. A big thumbs down from me.
26
The Front Line (2007,  Unrated)
The Front Line
Is it a movie about a bank job or one about the horrors of war? Both together just did not work. Overall it was average but it could of been a great deal better with a few changes.
27
Titan A.E. (2000,  PG)
Titan A.E.
The plot was weak. The animation was unimpressive. Overall boring.
28
Heartstopper (2006,  Unrated)
Heartstopper
Another impressive dvd cover to a not very impressive movie. Average acting,below average special effects,storyline so so. Overall boring. Took 3 attempts to watch it,kept falling asleep.
29
Meet the Spartans (2008,  PG-13)
Meet the Spartans
Just about watchable but not funny and boring.

Note to my son - Please son next time we watch a movie together let ME choose.

Isn't She Great (2000,  R)
Isn't She Great
Isn't this not great.
31
Storytelling (2002,  R)
Storytelling
Nothing special,i liked the first story(Fiction)but i hated the second story(Non-fiction)so this movie is easy to rate,2.5.
32
You Can Count On Me (2000,  R)
You Can Count On Me
This is a decent movie but it was not my kind of movie. Great acting but uninteresting characters and storyline.
33
Travelling Light (2003,  Unrated)
Travelling Light
This is not a really crappy movie,its just very pointless. Its about nothing, doesnt go anywhere and fails to capture the imagination.

Boring.
34
Dragon Hunter (2008,  Unrated)
Dragon Hunter
If anyone wants to watch this movie its just come out to buy on dvd in the UK but its showing for free on the Sci-fi channel.
35
The Air I Breathe (2008,  R)
The Air I Breathe
Seen it all before.
36
Greenfingers (2000,  R)
Greenfingers
Well i thought i was in for a treat,Clive Owen and Danny Dyer both in the same movie........well no it was more like a trick,i was tricked into watching it lol.

Overall it was all a bit twee for me and come on the storyline was rather dull
37
Awake (2007,  R)
Awake
Firstly i would just like to say that Jessica Alba was crappy,her acting is bloody awful.

Well Awake made me fall asleep several times during the first hour,i was forever rewinding to watch the bits i had missed whilst i had been snoozing. It was a short movie,slow in parts but oddly rushed. The storyline was predictable and reminded me of Murder She Wrote. The main characters talking out of his body reminded me of Look Who's Talking,freaky BUT 64 minutes into the movie it kind of picked up and suddenly i felt for Lena Olins character,pity there was only 14 minutes left.
38
Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru) (2001,  Unrated)
Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru)
I am shocked to say i did not enjoy Battle Royale,dont get me wrong its not a bad movie it was just rather boring,i felt like i had seen it all before (exploding necklaces Wedlock 1991 Rutger Hauer). Even the gore scenes were unimpressive,boring infact.
39
Bolt (2008,  PG)
Bolt
Recommended by DrLappos. My son is going to force me to watch this movie.

Update - Enjoyed the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes but the big bit in the middle bored me,nothing special.

Transformers (2007,  PG-13)
41
Horton Hears a Who! (2008,  G)
Horton Hears a Who!
Horton Hears A Who did not work for me,i think i would of enjoyed it more if it had been filmed the same as The Grinch and Cat In The Hat using real people rather than animation.
42
The Ruins (2008,  R)
The Ruins
Recommended by princessqtpl.

This is the kind of movie i normally enjoy but i just couldnt get into it.
43
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008,  PG-13)
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
The Mummy - Loved it - 4 stars.

The Mummy Returns - Okay - 3.5 stars.

The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor - SnoozzzzzZZZZZZZZe! - 2.5 stars.

Okay its not the most boring movie in the world but compared to the first two movies it was a poor offering,no wonder Rachel passed her part on to Maria.
44
Rachel Getting Married (2008,  R)
Rachel Getting Married
This movie is really difficult for me to rate....its a good movie,well made but....it was a really unpleasant movie,boring in parts.....and i didnt like the characters,well some were okay but i didnt feel for them. The wedding was nice though,fab cake! It reminded me of Margot At The Wedding,same kind of conflicts and same unlikeable characters and both movies gave off unpleasant vibes.
45
Lesbian Vampire Killers (2009,  R)
Lesbian Vampire Killers
Well i was hoping for a vampire version of Shaun Of The Dead but what i got was a short unfunny movie that was dull and boring.
87 minutes of nothingness. Plus was it my ears or was there something really wrong with the sound? It was really unbalanced. Not funny,not scary,not good.

Recommended by DrLappos but it was a little too late because i had already had the displeasure of watching it.....bad times.

Street Kings (2008,  R)
Street Kings
Recommended by Deano78.

Corrupt cops blah blah blah......
47
Franklyn (2008,  R)
Franklyn
Franklyn was visually stunning and full of mystery but sadly it was also uninteresting and disappointingly bland. It started off quite confusing (okay this might be my fault,i should of read the dvd cover) then it slips into not so confusing just boring so you sit there watching it thinking "ooo something really good is going to happen soon" and you wait and wait and then its the final scene and you are like "Oh....that....was....it....". I cant believe it was only on for 98 minutes,it felt more like 3 hours. The characters are also not very interesting and i didnt really like any of them.

Recommended not to bother with by DrLappos,sadly i had already tortured myself by watching it the day before.

Another one of my sons choices,i was never going to like it but at least Jason Statham did not totally do my head in.
51
All the Real Girls (2003,  R)
All the Real Girls
I normally love Zooey Deschanels characters and i am captivated watching her but she sucked in this movie. The storyline is pretty pointless,the conversations and dramatic moments are pointless,the ending is pointless....you can see where i am going with this. Its a flat and slow movie,one that after watching i wished i hadnt.
52
Chicken Little (2005,  G)
Chicken Little
I hated Chicken Littles voice! It was totally the wrong voice. Chickens need chicken-ish voices. This was not a chicken-ish voice.
53
The Mechanik (The Russian Specialist) (2005,  R)

Very 80s-ish.

Saam gwok dzi gin lung se gap (Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon)
Some good battle scenes especially one involving a baby but it was otherwise pretty boring. Also although i managed myself to keep up with the subtitles the other people i watched it with struggled and kept having to rewind and pause to read them especially at the start of the movie.

Management (2009,  R)
Management
Steve Zahn plays Mike the son of motel owners who works nights managing the motel and filling up the cereal machines,one day Sue (Jennifer Aniston) checks in and Mike falls in love with her....what follows is a very dull,very slow and very boring rom-com thats trying hard not to be a rom-com. There is no chemistry between Mike and Sue,the relationship is unconvincing. This was one to miss.

Hidden Places (2006,  Unrated)
Hidden Places
The info on the Sky + Planner said this was a fantasy movie so i was watching it waiting for.....well.....some fantasy,clearly after watching this movie i realise this information was wrong,even a few minutes before the end i was thinking,is something magical going to happen? Is the lead character actually an angel? But no. It was a nice drama but very slow and terribly boring in parts.

Very confused about the title!?!
