you might’t beat a good old fashioned guilty pleasure.

Sometimes, just sometimes, its better when theyre not.

Although thats not to say Uwe Boll is in any way a great entertainer.

Sitting throughAlone In The Darkis a feat of endurance no one should ever have to suffer.

It takes a special kind of bad to tread that fine line between unmissable and unwatchable.

And blow it up huge.

People melt, fire engines explode, skyscrapers are levelled, lava bombs shoot out of the ground.

Some more people melt.

A girl cries out, Dad, hurry, my legs on fire.

Hard to take seriously then, but oh so easy to watch.

But what a mission.

Itll be enough to give you goosebumps.

Cocktail

Sorry The Room, but this just might be theCitizen Kaneof bad movies.

And mix them really, really well.

Best bad bit:I make drinks so sweet and snazzy.

The Iced Tea … the Kamikaze!

The Cruise-ster takes to the bar stage for some beat poetry.

It just isnt right.

Best bad bit:LA Laws Alan Rachins kindly offers an ice cube to Elizabeth Berkley.

If youve seen theAdam & Joedoll version, itll bring it all back.

McBain

Christopher Walken two words big enough to make the bad movie connoisseur weak at the knees.

Which is kind of like saying the Titanic had a bit of a bumpy ride.

Frasiers Dad turns up, but then realises what hes got himself into and ducks out early.

Best bad bit:All of it.

But the sequel takes things to another level, one that makes the original look nuanced in comparison.

True, but at least well go with a smile.

And with Homicides Munch as the American president.

Add in the lure of Steven Seagal and Kelly LeBrock and this is Christmas in bad movie land.

His waking-up-from-a-coma acting has to be seen to be believed, and even then its pretty hard to believe.

Best bad bit:Ill take you to the bank, alright.

Seagals quip to the bad guy is so corny not even Arnie would go near it.
