My Least Favorite Movie Directors

My face (no, I'm not Kate Winslet) after watching another bad movie from another bad filmmaker.

I believe it was last year that I posted my favorite movie directors which is no question Martin Scorsese. But, I may need to put another filmmaker onto the list as I saw 3 of his films and they are all great in different aspects. However, we all have directors that we abhor such as these movies that these directors made. When I see the person in the trailer or ad, I shrug in disgust and go into the movie with low expectations, hoping that their next movie is very good. But, at least, here are my least favorite movie directors no matter if they have one good movie in their resume.

Joel Schumacher

Best Movie: Falling Down
Worst Movie: Do you really need a clue? Batman & Robin

John Moore

Best Movie: None
Worst Movie: A Good Day to Die Hard

Jon Avnet

Best Movie: I've never seen Fried Green Tomatoes, a guilty pleasure is Red Corner

2015 Documentaries

I have only seen 6 documentaries this year which also includes Amy and I Am Chris Farley . But, I have to be honest, this has not been a particularly strong year for documentaries except for onethat got me emotionally and mentally as what I examine for when they uncover the truth or some facts from the people involved in these documentaries. But, here are the four I have seen this year: Listen To Me Marlon, Unrated, 4 stars This is the most insightful documentary of the year as we only hear Marlon Brando narrating his life and experiences what he has gone through regarding his family, his private life and his film experiences regarding The Godfather , Apocalypse Now , Last Tango in Paris , etc. It is like Marlon Brando came out of his grave to give us another profoundly moving movie only we hear his voice and scenery and nothing else. The Look of Silence, R, 3.5 stars Joshua Oppenheimer's follow-up documentary is a light-hearted but still-disturbing film regarding a

Daddy's Home 2 (2017), PG-13, ★1/2

The first Daddy's Home was surprisingly a financial success as I thought it was not as bad as many people thought. I thought it was a solid cable watch because it had enough laughs for that sort of mixed recommendation. I was not craving for a sequel for this movie because again, comedy sequels have a very bad record, however, the only difference is that it is not too late since the first movie came out a few years ago. But, this sequel is a reminder as to why we do not need a sequel to a hit comedy because this is a pretty much forgettable comedy, especially a holiday comedy...which I hade a guilty pleasure for. This did not work for me. Brad and Dusty (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg) have become friends after the events of the first film and they set up a co-dad system where their two children, Megan and Dylan, spending time at each father's home. Dusty has re-married to writer Karen (Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio) and he is step-dad to Adrianna, Karen&
