I’ve seen many of the titles on several other “Worst Film” lists. Especially Atlas Shrugged III, Saving Christmas & Left Behind. I dodged 20 bullets because I haven’t seen any of the films listed. But then, I’m very selective when picking a film to watch so I rarely see bad films.
It’s sad to see so many big names among these turkeys. What happened to Atom Egoyan? He hasn’t made a good film since 1999’s Felicia’s Journey. And Razzie winner Nicolas Cage’s films have been hit & miss - mostly miss – since Wild at Heart way back in 1990. I guess he says yes to everything he’s offered. Same with Robert DeNiro, he’s been mostly slumming since 1997.

BTW, I saw U-Carmen eKhayelitsha on a plane; it featured the fiercest Carmen I've ever seen!
And, Queen of the Desert is a fascinating biography, and should make a good film.

You’re very welcome.
RE: Life: I have a copy of Stark's book so I'm a bit worried about the casting of Dane Dehaan as James Dean. I don't mind that he doesn't look like him, it's just that he looks like a teenager – a kind of Gilbert Grape Dicaprio - while Dean looked older for his age. We'll see. I never did see James Franco's James Dean but I suspect he was pretty good in the role.

But it stars the adorable Jamie Dornan who is so good as the serial killer in The Fall.
You have to watch him on the Graham Norton Show as he explains how he learned how to walk, it's hilarious:

I wish I owned a piece of it! :laugh:
Or, at least, somebody expects it's gonna make a shit-load of money. ;D

I won't lie, I wish I had a piece of it too. LOL I was just thinking there are so many better books out there that could be made into movies.
