Worst-Reviewed Movies

Salon.com offers a slideshow of The Ten Worst-Reviewed Movies . I’m relieved to say that I’ve seen none of them.

Something I didn’t know till recently: Joe Eszterhas, writer of one of the movies on the list, which is supposed to be horribly written and morally vile at the same time, Showgirls , had a conversion experience later and returned to the Catholicism of his youth. The story is recounted in his book Crossbearer . Here is an interview with him .

If you have any additions to the list, or happen to have read Eszterhas’s book, please comment.
