I went to see two movies this weekend. Neither one was a particularly enjoyable experience.
First on Saturday I went to see Precious. The movie was not bad, but it was so freaking sad. I expected it to be sad, but it was way sadder than I was ready for. My friends and I left the movie theater so depressed. We actually headed right to the pet store afterwards to look at puppies to try and cheer ourselves up.

Nothing like a little rape, incest, and HIV to perk up your Saturday afternoon.
The next day I decided I wanted to try and see something a little more lighthearted to help me get Precious out of my mind. My friend Alex and I watched Where the Wild Things Are figuring it would be fun and happy. We were wrong.

Incredibly disappointing!
First off, Where the Wild Things Are was about the most boring movie I have seen in years. NOTHING HAPPENED THE ENTIRE MOVIE!!! We kept waiting and waiting for something interesting to occur, but it never did. On top of that, the characters were all suffering from clinical depression. They all seemed to be on the verge of suicide. Yes, that includes the monsters. I was so close to walking out on this movie multiple times.
It takes alot for me to walk out on a movie. The movie has to be horrible. Alexander and Jurassic Park 3 immediately come to mind. I am also reminded of my pick for the worst movie of all time. It is the first movie I can ever recall walking out on. Here is a little info on it courtesy of IMDB. (My commentary is in parenthesis.)

Worst movie ever. For reals.
American Rabbit (Animated)1986 - Young Rob Rabbit grows up under the kind guidance of both his parents, who teach him both moral values and artistic sensitivity (artistic sensitivity? what the hell does that even mean?). A wise old rabbit who tells him he has inherited the village’s legacy follows his progress: to supply the world with a super-hero crime fighter, The American Rabbit (sounds good so far, right?).
To fight evil, Rob runs very fast and transforms into a roller-skating (What? If the Turtles can skateboard then why can't he roller skate?), red-white-and-blue, stars-and-stripes super-hero. He goes to the city where he joins a rock-and-roll band (Okay now this story is just getting convoluted. He roller skates and plays rock and roll? How cool are they trying to make this rabbit?). A gang of jackals under the evil leadership of the Buzzard tries to extort money from the bar where they are playing (haha. Nothing like a little extortion to make a kids movie more interesting.). When the brave owner won't pay, the jackals wreck the place (because this technique has never been seen in movies before.). To raise money to rebuild the bar, Rob and his band go on a concert tour, but at each stop, the Buzzard tries to kill them (again, this is a kids movie!). In each case, the Rabbit rescues them. Finally, the Buzzard tries to take over New York City but is defeated by the Rabbit (how the hell did that jump occur?).
As far as horrible movies I've seen go, this movie tops will always top the list because, even at the tender age of four, I can remember telling my Dad I wanted to walk out on this movie. I used to watch the Snorks, Pound Puppies, and Care Bears religiously at that age but I could not subject myself to this garbage. Permanent scar left on me by this one.
